ST. DAVIDS, PA (January 30, 2019) -- Junior post player Rebecca Prociak posted a career-high 32 points on 9-of-14 shooting, but it wasn't enough as the King's College women's basketball team fell to Eastern University 79-75 in Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom (MAC Freedom) play from The Gymnasium Wednesday evening.
