A three-point chance to win missed as the Albright College women's basketball team was eliminated from Commonwealth Conference playoff contention with a 45-43 loss to Lycoming, Tuesday in the Bollman Center.
Down by nine with just over three minutes remaining, Kelecia Harris chased down an offensive board and Kristi McFadden completed a three-point play. Jessica Venturelli added a three-pointer with 2:42 remaining to make it a one-possession game at 42-39.
Julia Antonelli hit a jumper with 1:30 left to put Lycoming ahead 44-39. Boyle completed a tough post move and then scored again with 31 seconds left to cut the deficit to 44-43, after Ali Derr had been called for an illegal screen. Antonelli made one of two free throws, but a McFadden three-pointer didn't go and time expired.
Boyle finished with a team-high 13 points and eight rebounds. Venturelli had nine points and seven assists, with Harris added eight points and 10 boards.
With the loss, Albright (13-11, 7-10) falls two games behind Lycoming (11-12, 9-8) for the fifth and final playoff place in the Commonwealth Conference.
