BEHREND, PA - The Lady Barons basketball team of Franciscan University of Steubenville faced off against Penn State-Behrend Monday night losing 78-43. With the loss, the Lady Barons dropped to 0-13 (0-10).

The Lady Barons only had eight healthy players in the game, which made them susceptible to Penn State-Behrend's fast-paced playing. However, the short roster gave Lady Baron Sarah Clemente extended playing time. Clemente stepped up and accumulated 12 points and 11 rebounds for the first double-double of her career. The freshman forward shot 5 of 6 on the night, and was a dominating presence on both ends of the court.

Cara Mitchell led the Lady Barons with 13 points and gave five assists. Marian Weber continued her consistent play with six points and 14 rebounds. Aly Eagle paced Behrend with 16 points, while Kelly Nowacinski and Amy Oldach had 15 and 14 points, respectively.

“We hung with them for a large part of the first half, but they were just able to wear us down since we only had 8 players,” Lady Barons coach Kelly Herrmann remarked. “Sarah Clemente had a great performance for us with her first double-double, and Cara Mitchell continued her consistent play for us offensively. It was a tough loss, but there were certainly some bright spots for us within it.”

The Lady Barons' next contest is this Wednesday at Penn State-Altoona at 6 p.m.
