UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - For the first time since 2005, Penn State York women's basketball is on the top of the PSUAC. Following a dominant first half, York finished off two-time defending champions Penn State Beaver, 76-64, to claim the tournament title after a perfect regular season in conference play.

York (23-3, 14-0 PSUAC) finished the season unbeaten against PSUAC competition, going 14-0 in the regular season as they won the East Division, and continued with three straight wins in the postseason, including the finale Monday night at Rec Hall on the University Park campus.

Four York starters finished with double figures as second year guard Delaney Burroughs scored a game-high 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Teammate Skylar Curley added 20 points, and Harper Poff totaled 13 points and 11 rebounds for the victors. Poff hit two big threes in the first quarter as York surged to a 20-13 lead. York extended their advantage at the half, leading by 15 heading into the break. 

Beaver's Katie Enderle and Jaden Tesch each poured in 14 points, but were the only two to finish in double figures as Beaver (22-5, 13-2 PSUAC) struggled from the field, shooting just 31 percent, including 21 percent from three.

Beaver made a run in the second half, cutting York's lead to just one early in the fourth quarter, but Poff scored five straight points to extend York's lead to six. The teams would trade baskets before Curley scored four points late to make it 72-61 and put the game on ice.

Each team turned the ball over 18 times in a fast-paced game, but York's rebound advantage (46-36) proved to be the biggest difference as they outscored Beaver 18-7 in second chance points.

Beaver led with just over eight minutes left in the first quarter, but wouldn't lead again as York made early shots and got easy layups to pull away.

York will receive the PSUAC's automatic bid into the United States Collegiate Athletic Association Women's Division II National Championship tournament, set to begin on March 2, 2026 in Buffalo, NY. Beaver, who has been ranked in the top five of the USCAA for much of the season, will have to rely on receiving an at-large berth in the eight-team tournament.
