Crimson Eagles Fall to Giants

LaPlume, PA -  After falling to Keystone at home just nine days ago, the Crimson Eagles went on the road tonight to try to return the favor to the host Giants.  It wasn't to be.  

When Keystone jumped out to a 12-2 lead to open the game, it looked from the outset like the Giants were going to win in the same fashion as the last time the teams met, when Keystone jumped to a 41-17 halftime lead.  However, the Crimson Eagles cut the lead to two in the middle of the first half and trailed at the half by only eight, 31-23, this time around.  

After just 9 first half turnovers, a season low, PBU couldn't take care of the ball in the opening few minutes of the second half.   Keystone took advantage of the PBU miscues to quickly double their lead and never looked back, winning 63-43. 

Careth Herron led the Crimson Eagles with a game-high 20 points.  Tiana Cuttino and Melinda Moore each added 15 points to lead Keystone.   Moore added nine rebounds to bolster a 41-23 edge for the home team in rebounds for the game.

The Crimson Eagles host Marywood University on Saturday at 12:30 p.m..
