February 18 • 7 PM • Chambers Hall

The Pitt‑Greensburg women's basketball team returns home Wednesday night as they host Penn State Altoona in their final stretch of AMCC play. The Bobcats (1–22, 1–13 AMCC) welcome a Lions squad (16–7, 11–3 AMCC) that has been among the league's top performers all season.

Pitt‑Greensburg Outlook

The Bobcats enter the contest coming off a competitive 59–51 battle against Carlow on Saturday. Jocelyn Bielak erupted for 28 points in that matchup, continuing what has been a standout season for the sophomore. Bielak leads the team with 14.4 points per game, ranking among the conference's most consistent scoring threats.

On the interior, Abby Henise continues to anchor the Bobcats on the glass. Her 8.1 rebounds per game place her fourth in the AMCC, giving Pitt‑Greensburg a reliable presence in the paint on both ends.

Penn State Altoona Outlook

Penn State Altoona comes to Chambers Hall looking to rebound from a tightly contested 78–68 loss to Penn State Behrend on Saturday. The Lions were powered by Avana Sayles, who delivered a dominant double‑double with 20 points and 13 rebounds.

The Lions feature one of the conference's top scoring duos:

• Lanie Wilt – 16.0 PPG
• Avana Sayles – 15.7 PPG

Their balanced offensive attack has fueled Altoona's rise toward the top of the AMCC standings.

Last Meeting

The teams last met on December 3, a matchup that Altoona controlled in a 64–39 victory. Pitt‑Greensburg was led by Kaylee Charles with 16 points, though the Bobcats will be without her this time as she is now out for the season with injury.

Sayles was the star of that meeting for the Lions, posting 22 points and 14 rebounds, and her inside dominance will again be a point of focus.

Key Storylines to Watch

1. Can Bielak Stay Hot?

Fresh off her 28‑point performance, Bielak enters as the Bobcats' best scoring option. Her ability to create offense—especially with Charles unavailable—will be crucial in keeping Pitt‑Greensburg within striking distance.

2. Battle on the Boards

With Henise ranking among the AMCC's top rebounders and Sayles coming off a double‑double, the paint battle will be a major deciding factor. Second‑chance opportunities could swing momentum.

3. Slowing Down Altoona's One‑Two Punch

Wilt and Sayles combine for over 31 points per game. The Bobcats' defensive rotations and ability to limit touches in the post will be key to staying competitive.

4. Home‑Court Energy

With the season winding down, Pitt‑Greensburg will look to channel the home crowd in Chambers Hall to push for an upset and build toward the future.
