In a tough matchup on Friday night, Penn State Wilkes-Barre faced off against Penn State York, suffering a 69-34 defeat. This loss extends Wilkes-Barre's losing streak to two games, significantly diminishing their playoff hopes as they look to close out the season.
The game, which held a special meaning as it was Senior Night, recognized two WB players for their contributions: Senior #14 Shamonie Rose and Senior #11 Jaidyn Kotch. Both players were honored before the game, marking the emotional and pivotal moments in their collegiate careers.
Despite a brave effort, the lady lions struggled to find their rhythm, particularly on the offensive end, as York dominated throughout the game. With only two games remaining in the season, Wilkes-Barre may no longer have any hopes of reaching playoffs. The pressure is on for these final matchups, but will it be enough to bounce back strong and overcome the current two game skid?
As the season winds down, all eyes will be on Wilkes-Barre as they look to give their seniors one last memorable run before the curtain falls on the season.
