Women’s Basketball Holds Off Medaille Saturday Afternoon In Conference Home Opener

GREENSBURG- Kelsey Oddis scored a game-high 23 points and the Pitt-Greensburg women's basketball team (3-5, 2-0 AMCC) held of a fourth quarter surge by Medaille (1-5, 0-1 AMCC) to pick up its second straight victory with a 73-70 win in the Allegheny Mountain College Conference home opener on Saturday afternoon in Chambers Hall.

Pitt-Greensburg grabbed a 64-55 advantage on a layup by Oddis with 5:24 left in the fourth quarter, but Medaille responded with an 8-0 surge over the next two minutes to trim the deficit to one as Marceann Dunning hit both of her free-throw attempts.

Lyndy Baerr connected on 1-of-2 from the line to extend the lead to two, but after Kelli Mccauley tied the game at 65, Oddis made two consecutive layups to give the Bobcats some breathing room.

Medaille continued to fight back but Pitt-Greensburg held the Mavericks off with clutch free-throw shooting down the stretch as the Bobcats hit 4-of-6 from the line in the final minute to seal the victory.
