BLOOMSBURG—Despite 17 points from Michelle Albanese (Wilmington, DE/St. Mark's), Millersville University was able to rally and beat Bloomsburg University, 75-62, in women's basketball action Wednesday night.

Bloomsburg led the entire first half behind the strong play of Meaghan Roe (Brownstown/Conestoga) who scored nine of the Huskies first 15 points in the game. The Huskies pushed their lead to 10 points, 28-18, with 1:49 to play in the half on a free throw by Roe. However, the Marauders used a 5-0 to end the half and get within five at 28-23.

In the second half, the Huskies led by six, 41-35, on an Albanese jumper with 13:15 to play. The Marauders tied the score for the first time at 45-45 on a layup by Gema Robles with 9:07 left. The Huskies, though, responded and led by three, 53-50, when Meggi Rothermel (Minersville/Natvity BVM) connected on a three-pointer at the 6:07 mark. That would be the team's final lead of the night as the Marauders used a 10-0 over the next three minutes to go up 60-53 on Kristy Garner's layup.

A pair of free throws by Karen Yeasted (West Lawn/Holy Name) with 2:08 left in the game made it a three-point contest at 63-60. The Marauders, though, finished strong hitting six of nine free throws and getting some easy baskets in transition to pull away in win by 13 points.
