BLOOMSBURG—Catherine Noack (Bethlehem/Liberty) scored a game-high 26 points to lead the Bloomsburg University women's basketball team to a 69-57 win over Lock Haven University on Saturday afternoon in a PSAC (Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference) Eastern Division game.
 
The opening half of the game was a back and forth affair with four lead changes and four ties. Lock Haven had its biggest lead of the half at five points, 15-10, with 13:14 to go before halftime on a bucket by Emily Daugherty. Bloomsburg came back on the strength of a 16-4 run to go on top 26-19. Jocelyn Ford (Lansing, NY/Lansing) scored five points in the rally for the Huskies.
 
Bloomsburg later pushed its lead to eight points later in the half on Ford's jumper making it 31-23 with 5:20 left in the half.  But the Lady Eagles closed out the half on an 11-4 run to get within a point at 35-34 at the break after the Huskies Morgan Klunk (Felton/York Catholic) hit a pair of free throws with one second to play.
 
Lock Haven briefly regained the lead at 36-35 on JJ Hilliard's jumper on the first possession of the second half. That would turn out to be the Lady Eagle's final lead of the game. A three-pointer from Noack started a run of eight straight points for the senior and put Bloomsburg on top 43-38.
