Hiram, OH — The Penn State Shenango Lions battled through a spirited effort on the road Saturday afternoon at Hiram College, but fell 98-70 to the Terriers in a non-conference matchup inside Price Gymnasium. Hiram's talented offense was led by a historic performance, and the Lions fought hard throughout in front of a vocal home crowd.

Lions Stand Out Despite Tough Contest

Shenango's balanced scoring attack was anchored by several strong individual performances:

• Kimora Roberts led the Lions with 19 points and a team-high 9 rebounds, showing toughness on both ends of the floor as she knocked down free throws late in the second quarter to help keep Shenango within striking distance.

• Alyssa Crankfield delivered 16 points on efficient shooting, including 4 three-pointers and a handful of hustle plays that energized the Lions' bench.

• Oyin Adio added 13 points, knocking in shots from inside and beyond the arc while also contributing defensively with 4 steals.

• Gabrielle King chipped in 12 points and 7 rebounds, battling inside for second-chance opportunities.

• Samair Colon added 10 points, providing quality minutes and timely scoring when the Lions needed it.

Shenango connected on 36.8% from three-point range (7-of-19) and finished 75.0% from the free-throw line, showcasing improved discipline at the charity stripe.

Terriers' Record Performance Sets the Tone

Hiram was propelled by a historic outing from Isabella Caceres, who poured in 43 points — including 11 three-pointers. Caceres also contributed seven rebounds and nine assists, accounting for a massive share of the Terriers' offense. Senior Sarah Seaman added 22 points, while Maya Joiner posted a double-double with 11 points and 13 rebounds, helping Hiram build and sustain a double-digit lead through the second half.

Game Flow and Key Moments

Hiram jumped out early with efficient scoring, but the Lions stayed within reach through the first quarter behind strong perimeter shooting and aggressive rebounding. In the second quarter, Shenango continued to battle — with Roberts and Adio finding rhythm — but Hiram's depth and hot shooting began to tilt momentum in the Terriers' favor. In the second half, Hiram's offensive firepower proved difficult to contain. Caceres continued her scoring barrage, and the Terriers steadily expanded their cushion behind mix of threes and hustle plays, eventually cruising to the 98-70 final.

Looking Ahead

While the loss drops Shenango's record, the Lions will take valuable experience from this competitive road test — particularly the contributions of several players in double digits. Shenango now shifts focus to upcoming PSUAC play, hoping to build on the positive offensive flashes and continue developing consistency on both ends of the floor.
