GROVE CITY, Pa. - The Westminster College women's basketball team saw its season-long losing streak swell to four games at the hands of Grove City, 57-45, on the road Thursday night in Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) action.
The game was originally scheduled for Wednesday night but was pushed back a day because of inclement weather.

Two other Westminster players scored in double figures including freshman forward Emily Dolsak (McDonald, Ohio/McDonald) and sophomore point guard Kaitlin McCarthy (Lowellville, Ohio/Lowellville) with 10 points apiece. Emily Dolsak snared eight rebounds and posted two blocks, while McCarthy handed out a game-high six assists.
Christine Slater led the Wolverines with 18 points followed by Laura Miller with 12. Megan Gebrosky pulled down nine rebounds to go with eight points.
Westminster committed a season-high 24 turnovers compared to Grove City with a mere 11. The Wolverines also held a 41.1 percent (23-56) to 32 percent (16-50) shooting advantage.
Grove City took an early 8-0 lead and never trailed in the game. Westminster didn't score until 5:28 into the game. After Grove City led 30-17 at halftime, the closest Westminster would get was a five-point, 40-35 deficit with 8:23 left in the game. That came on an 8-0 run that included a pair of McCarthy lay-ups.
