BOWIE, Md. – Redshirt feshman Katerra Myers (Burtonsville, MD) recorded her second career double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds but the Bowie State women's basketball fell to the visiting Lions of Lincoln (PA) Saturday afternoon in a Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) division tilt inside A.C. Jordan Arena.

The loss dips the Bulldogs record to 4-7 overall and 2-2 in league action while LUPA improve to 11-4 on the season and 4-1 in conference play.

After trailing 16-6 in the first quarter, the Bulldogs outscored the Lions in the second on 36-percent shooting, including 2-of-3 from the 3-point line.
