Lafayette Women's Basketball team beats East Carolina 64-57

FROM THE EXPRESS TIMES

Freshman Emily Homan got her first career double-double with 26 points and 12 rebounds, to lead Lafayette past East Carolina 64-57 in the consolation game of the Terrapin Classic at the University of Maryland.

After a see-saw first half, the Leopards held the Pirates without a field goal for the first four minutes of the second half to turn a one-point halftime deficit in to a 34-29 lead.

East Carolina climbed back within a possession on two occasions, but Lafayette sealed the victory by hitting 10-of-12 free throws down the stretch.

The 26 points by Homan are the most by a Lafayette player in four years and the most by a Patriot League player this season.
