PHILADELPHIA – Sophomore guard Tiffany Lapotsky scored a team-high 16 points on 6 of 10 shooting from the floor, as East Stroudsburg University fell 109-42 in an exhibition contest at Division I Villanova on Wednesday evening.

The Warriors trailed by just five at 23-18 with under a minute left in the first quarter, but the Wildcats scored the final five points of the frame and gradually increased their advantage for the remainder of the contest. Senior guard Imani Brown added 15 points and six rebounds for ESU.
