ALTOONA, Pa. - The Penn State Altoona women's basketball team was defeated by Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference rival Mount Aloysius College 73-57 on Wednesday night in the Adler Gym. But the Lady Lions had plenty reason to be proud, raising money for the fight against breast cancer and setting two single game records in the process.

The night marked the Lady Lions' annual Pink Zone event, which benefits local breast cancer prevention and research. Through their efforts, the Lady Lions raised over $2200 in support of the Altoona Regional Hospital's digital mammography department.

Moira Corrigan (Havertown, PA/Haverford) grabbed a career-high 19 rebounds, which set a new single game record for Penn State Altoona women's basketball. The previous high was 18 rebounds, which was shared by two players. Former Lady Lion Jillian Klinar grabbed 18 rebounds in a game at Frostburg State University on February 13, 2002. Current Lady Lion Tamara Thomas (Altoona, PA/Altoona) had 18 rebounds against La Roche College on February 2, 2011.

Corrigan added eight points and blocked four shots.

The Lady Lions also set a single game record as a team by blocking 11 shots against Mount Aloysius. The previous record was held by the 2007-2008 Penn State Altoona women's basketball team, which denied nine shots against Mount Aloysius in a game on February 23, 2008.
