Youngstown -- Sophomore Monique Godfrey scored a career-high 20 points and hit a running jumper in the lane with 10 seconds remaining to lift the Youngstown State women's basketball team to a 66-64 victory over Loyola on Saturday evening at the Beeghly Center.

The Penguins, which place four players in double figures for the second time this season, improve to 6-14 overall and 4-6 in the Horizon League while the Ramblers fall to 6-15 overall and 4-6 in the circuit.

Two free throws by Loyola's Jenna Real put the Ramblers ahead by four, 63-59, with 2:33 left, but Godfrey nailed her second 3-pointer of the game to cut the lead to one, 63-62, with 2:13 to go.

Jennifer Juergens put the Ramblers back up by two by converting one free throw at the 1:08 mark.
