SELINSGROVE, Pa. – The Susquehanna women's basketball team was hoping to send its seniors out with a win in what was the team's final home game of the season but SU fell 74-60 to visiting Elizabethtown.

However, the No. 4 seed Crusaders (17-8, 10-6) still have a semifinal game in front of them as they travel to No. 1 seed Scranton Wednesday for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.

Susquehanna was unable to overcome a slow start as they faced a 16-point deficit just six-and-a-half minutes into the game.

Nikki Komara (Shamokin, Pa./Lourdes Regional) and Angie Schedler (Alexandria, Va./T.C. Williams) both scored a team-high 17 points for a Crusader team that shot 44 percent for the game but just 25 percent from three-point range and only 63.6 percent at the free throw line.

The Blue Jays (18-6, 11-5) led from start to finish, scoring the first 12 points of the game and taking that 18-2 lead at the 13:41 mark of the half. SU was down 19 (24-5) with 8:12 to play and the Crusaders found themselves trailing by 20 (31-11) at the five-minute mark of the half.

Susquehanna trimmed the lead to 13 (35-22) with 1:35 to play but went into halftime down 38-22.

The Crusaders were in a 22-point hole, 48-26, after six minutes of play in the second half. Elizabethtown easily maintained a double-digit lead and SU pulled no closer than 12 at any point over the remainder of the contest.

Prior to the start of the game, the team honors its two senior members: Kerri Zelenak (Mt. Pleasant, Pa./Mt. Pleasant) and Williams.
