The Bobcats made things tough for the Titans with great defense throughout the entire evening, forcing 18 turnovers and recording nine steals. Pitt-Greensburg turned the extra possessions into 15 points as well as four fast break points. 

Three players reached double-figures for Westminster, led by Jackie Mathews who scored a game-high 16 points and also added four rebounds as well as three steals. 

Westminster got off to a fast start opening the game on a 7-0 run over the first two minutes and would push its advantage to 12-2 with 5:02 left in the opening quarter. 

Pitt-Greensburg would claw its way back and reeled off an 11-3 margin over the final five minutes of the quarter to cut the deficit to 15-13 heading into the second stanza. Following a three-pointer by Magen Polczynski with 4:10 remaining, Pitt-Greensburg held Westminster scoreless for the remainder of the quarter. 

The Titans outscored Pitt-Greensburg by a 15-10 margin and headed into the halftime break holding a 30-23 advantage. 

The Bobcats put together an impressive defensive performance in the second half, holding the Titans to just 32% shooting the floor and 3-of-8 from three-point distance, but Westminster came up clutch from the charity stripe and held off the charge from Pitt-Greensburg, knocking down 8-of-10 from the free-throw line.
