Penn State Lady Lions Roar Past Syracuse Orange at Bryce Jordan Center

From the onset, it was clear that the Penn State Lady Lions were determined to dominate. Despite a slow start in the first quarter with only 14 points compared to Syracuse's 27, they steadily built momentum. The second quarter saw a modest increase for the Lady Lions with nine additional points, while holding Syracuse to 14.
The tide began to turn after halftime when Penn State came out strong in the third quarter. They racked up an impressive 22 points and continued their defensive pressure by once again limiting Syracuse to just 14 points. This marked a pivotal shift in energy and set up what would be a decisive final quarter.
