ALTOONA – An 18-point, 11-rebound, six assist performance by Bobcat freshman Trent Rozich was not enough for Pitt-Greensburg in a matchup with PS Altoona inside Adler Arena. Matthew Marinchak added 17 points and Jackson Byer also had 14 points and eight rebounds, but the Lions came out on top 92-84.
 
Pitt-Greensburg took a ten-point lead into the half, but PS Altoona shot close to 60 percent from the floor an went 8-of-14 from behind the arc in the second half to outscore the Bobcats 56-38. Pitt-Greensburg shot just 32 percent from the floor in the second half and went 1-for12 from three-point land. The Bobcats fall to 6-5 in AMCC play with the loss.
