Naomi Otis had a career-high 10 points to go with her three rebounds.
"Shance played well on both ends of the floor tonight and I thought we did a nice job defensively as a team," Lancaster Bible Head Coach
Rachel Steinbarger said. "We did a great job in transition as well and with a big game looming on Saturday, it was nice to get some rest for the starters throughout the game."
Saturday's big game will be one of the biggest tests of the season for the Chargers as they face Gallaudet in Washington, D.C. The Bison ruined Penn St. Abington's blemish-free conference record earlier this week with 60-39 victory and Gallaudet is currently tied for third in the NEAC South Division with Penn College with an 8-4 conference record.
Saturday's game is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m.
