DOYLESTOWN (PA) - Junior forward/center Brooke Dittmar scored a career-high 21 points to help lead Delaware Valley College to a 67-53 victory over visiting Lebanon Valley College in a non-conference game.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for the Aggies as they improved to 4-6 on the season. The Flying Dutchmen fell to 3-6.

The 5-foot-11 Dittmar hit 10 of 12 shots from the field, en route to topping her previous career high of 18 points against Widener earlier this season. Dittmar also added seven rebounds in 29 minutes of action.
