Georgian Court was led by Kamilah Bergman who had 20 points, while Stephanie Longdo had 19 points, and Ashley Lobbato chipped in with 11.

The Lions shot 35.3 percent (24-68) from the field, 31.3 percent (5-16) from three-point range, and 54.2 percent (13-24) from the free throw line on the afternoon.

The Lions controlled the boards enjoying a 45-37 margin, and a 19-6 edge on the offensive glass. There was a combined 46 turnovers in the contest, and the Lions committed 24 personal fouls.

If the Eagles qualify for the CACC Women's Basketball Championships, they will face the number-one seed Holy Family University on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 7:30 p.m. in Philadelphia, Pa.
