SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. - The Slippery Rock University women's basketball team lost to Lock Haven University in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference crossover game, 76-60, Sunday at Morrow Field House.
 
SRU's record drops to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in league games with the loss while Lock Haven improves to 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the PSAC after the road victory.
 
Slippery Rock battled back from a pair of double-digit deficits Saturday, first trimming a 14-point second-quarter deficit to five then a 12-point halftime margin to just seven points at 40-33 with 8:23 to play in the third.
 
However, Lock Haven was consistently able to quell The Rock's multiple comeback efforts including a final 23-10 run that lasted midway through the third quarter and into the fourth that gave the Bald Eagles a commanding 63-43 lead they would never relinquish on the way to a 16-point win.
 
Brooke Hinderliter accounted for 27 of The Rock's 60 points Sunday after going 8-for-15 from the field overall, a perfect 2-for-2 from 3-point range and a 9-for-11 showing at the foul line while grabbing eight rebounds, blocking one shot and making one steal. She scored 21 points in the second half.
 
Hinderliter's 27-point Sunday moved her into 10th place in program history for points in a career with 1,307. She is now seven points away from passing D'Asia Chambers (2011-15) for ninth place all-time.
 
Madison Johnson was the only other Rock player to finish in double figures against Lock Haven after going for 10 points, three rebounds and a pair of assists. Daeja Quick scored nine points and LeeAnn Gibson added seven points to round out The Rock's leading scorers.
 
Karington Ketterer recorded game-highs of eight rebounds and three blocks while making a Rock-best three steals. SRU's reserves were led by Kasch Harris and Chelsea DeSalve. Harris corralled four rebounds while DeSalve scored the first three points of her collegiate career.
 
Slippery Rock held a 42-35 advantage over the Bald Eagles in rebounding to go with edges in blocks (4-2), offensive rebounds (9-7), second chance points (7-3) and fast break points (11-6).
 
The Rock shot 34 percent (17-for-50) from the field overall and a solid 74.2 percent (23-for-31) at the free throw line, but made just 17.6 percent (3-for-17) of their 3-point attempts while also committing 17 turnovers.
 
Lock Haven, which committed just nine turnovers Sunday, finished the game shooting 37.5 percent (21-for-56) from the field and 71.1 percent (27-for-38) at the free throw while also having a cold night from 3-point territory with only 25.9 percent (7-for-27) of its shots from deep being successful. Ahnera Parker came off the bench to score 19 points to lead LHU.
 
Slippery Rock will now embark on a four-game road trip starting Nov. 30 at Tiffin University.
