The Shippensburg University women's basketball team had eight players score at least eight points on Sunday and shot 60 percent from the field as it never trailed in a lopsided 106-68 victory over the Chargers of Dominican (N.Y.) at the 2014 Pocono Classic hosted by East Stroudsburg University.

Dominican (3-5), who defeated host East Stroudsburg on Saturday, was limited to 33-percent shooting from the field despite committing just nine turnovers and getting a game-high 21 points from Lisa Bouffard.
 
The Raiders shot 60 percent from the field in each half, including a 20-of-33 effort in the first half that included 21 bench points and a 12-of-15 performance at the free-throw line.

Sophomore Morgan Griffith, named the 2014 Pocono Classic MVP, scored 16 points Sunday on 6-of-9 shooting with a team-high eight rebounds.
