MILLERSVILLE, Pa. - Led by 16 points and 12 rebounds by senior center Shanna Oaddams (Willingboro, N.J./Willingboro), the 30th double double of her career and fourth this season, the Shippensburg women's basketball team used timely scoring en route to a 68-59 victory over Millersville at Pucillo Gymnasium on Sunday.

The Lady Raiders (9-5) have now won seven of their last nine games while improving their mark to 5-1 against PSAC Eastern Division competition.

Shippensburg, the top scoring offense in the PSAC, entered this weekend's crossover games ranked 12th in the 14-team conference in scoring defense, but for the fourth time in five games, held its opponent under 60 points. The Lady Raiders are 5-0 when holding their opponent to 60 points or less.

Millersville (8-4) jumped out to a six-point lead in the game‚s first six minutes, 14-8, but thanks to a 7-0 run, the Lady Raiders were able to take a 15-14 lead with 11:31 left in the first half.

Oaddams totaled 10 points and five rebounds in the first half, hitting 5-of-8 field goal attempts.
The Lady Raiders picked right up where they left off to start the second half, scoring the first five points to increase their lead to 10, 37-27 with 18:42 to play. They would later extend that lead to 12 before the Marauders cut it in half, 55-49 with 7:34 remaining, but that would be as close as Millersville would get.
