Sophomore guard Maggie Lucas led the way for the Lions with 18 points and 7 dimes. Penn State was hot from the floor all game and shot 52.3 percent from the field. All starters had at least 8 points and all 10 Lady Lions that saw action helped to contribute to the offense.
Redshirt junior forward Mia Nickson recorded her first double-double of the season as she went 5-of-6 from the field, while snagging 14 rebounds.
Junior Nikki Greene also chimed in on the stat sheet with 14 points and 7 rebounds.
Penn State held the Badgers to 32.8 percent shooting from the field and only allowed one Badger to hit double-digits in scoring. The Lady Lions also dominated the rebounding battle 44-26.
With the win, the Lions improved to 4-2 on the road and now turn their attention to Michigan State for their showdown in Happy Valley on Jan. 7. The game will be broadcast nationally on CBS with a 2 p.m. tip-off.
