BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Despite trailing the Greyhounds of Moravian College (6-2) 41-26 at the half the Lady Lions (2-6) nearly pulled out a second half comeback on the shoulders of a career best performance by senior Mallory Olsheski.

In the opening minutes Albright pushed Moravian back on their heels as they quickly cut their the Greyhounds lead down to 13.
