The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia led wire-to-wire as they won their second consecutive game, 66-52, over Georgian Court University Wednesday night at the Bobby Morgan Arena in Philadelphia. The win evens the Devils record at 12-12 on the season and improves their record in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference games to 9-6. The Lions fall to 7-17 overall and 4-11 in league play.

Bloomfield, NJ- The Lady Deacons of Bloomfield College scored a victory over the visiting Lions of Georgian Court University 70-53 at the Bloomfield Gymnasium. The Lady Deacons shot 56% from the 3-point line in the first half and opened a large margin by halftime which proved to be too much for the lions to overcome. The win improved the Lady Deacons to 12-11 overall and 8-5 in the CACC North Division. Georgian Court falls to 7-16 overall and 4-10 in the CACC South Division.

After 82 seasons as the home of the Georgian Court University Lions, The Casino hosted its final basketball game this afternoon, a 67-49 defeat to Goldey-Beacom College. The Lions (7-15, 4-9), who have played in The Casino since 1926, will begin playing in their brand new athletic center next season.

Don't get fooled by the scoreboard. Yes, GCU (7-14, 4-8) fell to the undefeated Holy Family University Tigers (21-0, 12-0), 82-50, but there was no way that the Lions were going to lose lying down. After getting blown out in the first half, 46-18, GCU almost matched the #7 team in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches Poll in the second half, falling short, 36-32.

This was the type of game Valerie Curtis had in mind when she took over the head coaching reigns at the beginning of this season. Dee Varley (So.) (Little Egg Harbor, NJ/St. Francis College-NY) led the charge for the Lions, scoring a season-high 30 points, including an impressive 8-for-9 from the field and a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line in the first half, in GCU's 67-49 victory over visiting Chestnut Hill College, the club's most complete victory of the campaign. Sr. Stephanie Longdo (Barnegat, NJ/Southern Regional) made history when she drove the lane for a lay-up with 4:19 remaining in the second half, eclipsing the 1,000th-point mark for her career. Longdo came into the game needing three points, and finished with six total points, 9 rebounds and a team-high 9 assists. Freshman Ta-Shee Harden (Aurora, IL/Aurora East) poured in a career-high 17 points in the rout.

NEW CASTLE, DE -- The Lady Wildcats of Wilmington University rolled past the visiting Lions of Georgian Court University, 79-51 in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference women’s basketball action on Tuesday evening at the Pratt Center. 

PHILADELPHIA, PA-The GCU Lions and Chestnut Hill College  sat even, 18-18, at halftime. The Griffins came out of the locker room and staked a 15-5 run to grab a 33-23 lead six minutes into the second half. The Lions dissolved the Griffin advantage over the next five minutes and held the lead through the remainder of regulation for a 51-47 win.

Erin Chesnavich (Pittston, PA/Bishop O'Reilly) showed a glimpse of why she has earned CACC Player of the Week honors two weeks in a row. While the 6' 1" sophomore did not have her best game from the field (3-for-13), Chesnavich dominated the boards with a game-high 16 rebounds, including 10 of the offensive variety, and dropped in five of six shots from the line to lead the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia (USP) to a 59-47 victory at The Casino over the GCU Lions. 6' 1" Allison Weiss (Jr.-Springfield, PA/Springfield), drained a game-high 15 points, including an impressive 9-for-11 at the foul stripe and seven rebounds, while local product Caitlin Shaw (Fr.-Eatontown, NJ/Monmouth Regional) tallied 14 points and a perfect 6-for-6 in the free throw column.

Lauren Staats' (Fr.-Dunellen, NJ/Dunellen) three point attempt at the buzzer rattled around the rim, but would not drop in, allowing the visiting Post University Lady Eagles to escape The Casino with a 52-49 victory over the host Georgian Court University Lions. Stephanie Goss' (Jr.-Manchester, CT-Manchester) basket and successful free throw gave Post University a 52-49 lead with six seconds remaining in the contest.

Riding the high of Tuesday's exciting road win at Felician College, the Lion's were looking to use that momentum to carry them to victory on Thursday in Takoma Park, MD vs. 1-12 Columbia Union College. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned as GCU succumbed to the Lady Pioneers, 57-48. The victory served as revenge of sorts for Columbia Union as they fell 69-58 vs. GCU at The Casino back on November 18th.

Georgian Court University blocked a shot and made two steals in the final four seconds to seal its 64-59 women’s basketball victory over host Felician College on Tuesday night in Rutherford, NJ. The victory snaps a three-game losing streak for the Lions.
