The Albright College women's basketball team was hurt by a poor shooting performance and fell to the Moravian College Greyhounds by the score of 69-53, Saturday afternoon in non-conference action at Johnston Hall.
 
Albright shot 19-for-63 from the field and failed to record a field goal until Jenny Knoebel hit a jumper five minutes into the contest. After the Lions found themselves down 18-8 halfway through the first period, they went on a run to cut into the deficit. Amanda Tiritilli drilled a three pointer, and two possessions later Jessica Venturelli knocked down a jumper with 7:36 to go to cut the lead to four at 19-15.
 
The rest of the first half would be controlled by Moravian, as the Greyhounds went on a 14-6 run in the final six minutes to take a 37-21 advantage into the break.
 
The Lions couldn't close the gap in the second half of play. Meghan Boyle converted a layup with 18:53 left to make the score 39-26, but Albright couldn't get any closer as Moravian held their double-digit lead throughout the final 20 minutes of play.
 
Tiritill led all Lions scorers with 11 points to go with a team-high four assists.
