Jen McSharar of Garnerville, the team’s rebounding force, also had seven rebounds, five assists and three steals to go along with eight points.
McSharar, however, was lost for the season with a mild concussion, and reinjuring her badly sprained wrist in an ensuing 53-41 loss to King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, PA. McSharar, a graduate of North Rockland HS, played just 15 minutes before leaving the game, but already had pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds
The Valiants (7-14 overall, 2-9 in the conference) are playing their Pink Cancer game tonight against Delaware Valley (12-11), and are home again on Saturday at 1 p.m. to welcome Misericordia University (14-9) of Dallas, PA.

Weekly Sports Poll:
Earlier in the month, the Baseball Hall of Fame started a drug education program for students and young adults. “Be A Superior Example” or “BASE” will work with the Taylor Hooton Foundation and the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society in an effort to promote a healthy lifestyle for young athletes that is completely free of performance enhancing drugs.
"It is through the education programs that we are able to fulfill our mission of providing context to the issues that have faced our game, as a reflection of American history, throughout its history," Baseball Hall of Fame President Jeff Idelson said to the Associated Press.
In the upcoming months Idelson and the Hall of Fame are hoping to conduct a nationwide survey, hold a summit in Cooperstown and begin a national registry for people pledging to live a PED free lifestyle.
Since 1936 voting for the baseball hall of fame in Cooperstown, New York has been an integral part in the Major League Baseball season. This year controversial figures like Sammy Sosa, Barry Bonds, and Roger Clemens will be appearing on the ballot for the first time. Now the only question is should this trio of notorious superstars be allowed into baseball’s hallowed halls? Or should they be left out of Cooperstown like so many others?
