WOMEN

•    Shippensburg and Millersville are tied with Bloomsburg for second in the East standings with a 5-2 record.

•    A dominating first-half performance propelled Shippensburg to an 86-57 home divisional victory on Wednesday evening over Kutztown. The Raiders shot a stellar 75 percent (6-of-8) in the first half from behind the arc – and 9-of-15 overall – on their way to snapping a three-game home losing streak to the Golden Bears dating back to Feb. 20, 2010.

•    Also on Wednesday, the Millersville defense stymied the Lock Haven offense in a 74-47 road victory.

MEN

•    On Wednesday night, sophomore Tony Ellis recorded his first career double-double but Shippensburg came up short in the final minutes and dropped a back-and-forth contest to visiting Kutztown, 62-58.

•    SU led for nearly 30 minutes of the game – including a stretch from the 12-minute mark of the first half to the 12-minute mark of the second half – as the teams combined for 11 lead changes and nine ties.
