Freshman Forward Christina Floyd (St. John Neumann) earned another double-double, with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Sophomore Guard Megan Brinkos (McKeesport) also reached a double-double, at 12 points and 10 rebounds.

After the loss, the GA women now own an 8-11 overall record, and fall to 7-4 in the PSUAC. The women return to action Thursday Febuary 2, as they host non-conference foe Carlow, with the tip coming at 6 PM.
