SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – The Slippery Rock University women's basketball team led No. 20 Bloomsburg University by as many as seven points midway through the first half, but couldn't hold onto its lead as the Huskies came back to defeat The Rock 80-47 Wednesday night in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference play at Morrow Field House.

Chambers connected on a jumper less than a minute into the game to give Slippery Rock a lead over Bloomsburg, which entered the game ranked No. 20 in the nation by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. SRU maintained its advantage for the following seven minutes until the Huskies regained the lead momentarily before Slippery Rock went on an 11-3 run over the next three minutes to take a 24-17 lead with 9:44 remaining in the period.
 
The Rock's run was sparked by a balanced attack in which four players scored points including Chambers, who gave SRU five points during the stretch.
