SHIPPENSBURG, Pa. – The Shippensburg University women's basketball team dropped a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Eastern Division matchup against Millersville Wednesday at Heiges Field House, 61-29.
Shippensburg (8-13, 5-10 PSAC) was down to just seven players for Wednesday's contest, as several key players did not dress due to illness. The Raiders were hit particularly hard in the backcourt, with just one guard in uniform against the Marauders.

The makeshift SU lineup was solid defensively, holding Millersville to just 21 first-half points. The Raiders allowed 87 points against the Marauders in their previous meeting on Jan. 3.
