Detroit, Mich. -- Junior Tiara Scott scored a game-high 22 points and junior Velissa Vaughn hit a mid-range jumper with 38 seconds remaining to lift the Youngstown State women's basketball team to a 62-59 over Detroit on Thursday evening at Calihan Hall.

    The Penguins improve to 11-12 overall and 6-6 in the Horizon League while Detroit falls to 3-19 overall and 0-11 in the league.

    Detroit's Zemora Davis hit a jumper just under a minute remaining to give the Titans a 59-58 lead.

    After Vaughn's jumper put the Guins back up by one, senior Heather Karner, who scored 12 points, canned two free throws with 13 seconds left to seal the victory.

    The Guins also connected on 14-of-18 from the free throw line in the second half.

    In the first half, the Penguins trailed by two, 19-17, at the 8:15 mark, but used a 10-run over the four minutes to take an eight-point lead, 27-19, with 4:07 to go.

    Detroit, however, outscored the Penguins, 9-4, to close out the half and the Guins led at halftime by just three, 31-28.

    The Penguins and Titans each shot 38.8 percent and while the Titans took 18 more shots than YSU, the Guins went 21-of-26 from the charity stripe for the game.

    The Guins visit Wright State, Saturday, Feb. 16, at 1 p.m. at the Nutter Center.
