Middlebrooks Leads Penguins to 55-48 Win at Valpo
« on: January 07, 2012, 04:56:11 PM »
Valparaiso, Ind. -- Kenya Middlebrooks scored 13 second-half points, and the Youngstown State women's basketball team battled for a 55-48 victory at Valparaiso on Saturday afternoon at the Athletics-Recreation Center.

The Penguins led just 47-45 and had four seconds on the shot clock with 1:40 remaining when Brandi Brown hit a bucket in traffic on an inbound pass. Valpo hit a free throw on its possession, and YSU went 6-for-6 from the free-throw line in the final 1:09 to pull away.

Youngstown State improves to 8-6 overall, which is its best start since the 1999-200 season, and 2-1 in Horizon League play. Valpo, which dressed seven players and played just six, dropped to 4-11 and 0-4.

More details to follow.

Youngstown State returns home to host Loyola on Thursday at 7:05 p.m. The game will be broadcast live on 570 WKBN.

8-6 how sweet is that after the past several years.

What was up with only 7 players for Valpo?
