Westminster thumps Waynesburg

WAYNESBURG, Pa.--The Westminster College women's basketball team turned a 27-point third quarter into a 74-49 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) victory over Waynesburg University Wednesday evening at the Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse.

Westminster improved to 10-6 overall and 8-4 in the conference while Waynesburg fell to 3-12 overall and 2-9 in the PAC. Wednesday's victory was Westminster's 11th-straight over Waynesburg. 

Freshman Grace Cano (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) led Westminster with 11 points and seven rebounds. She made all three of her field goal attempts and went 5-of-6 at the free throw line. Fifth-year Natalie Murrio (Pittsburgh, Pa., Brentwood) added 10 points, five rebounds and six assists. Freshman Kennedy Arison (Medina, Ohio, Akron Hoban), senior Caitlyn Condoleon (Warren, Ohio, Warren JFK) and senior Katie Fitzpatrick (Cumberland Center, Maine, Greely) scored eight points each. Fifth-year Lindsay Bell (Youngstown, Ohio, Ursuline) chipped in with six points, eight rebounds and three assists. It was her eighth game this year with eight or more rebounds. Bell, now with 756 career rebounds, has moved into No. 5 on the program's all-time rebounds list, passing Kathy Nieder (1981-85). 

Twelve players scored Wednesday for Westminster.

Westminster weathered an early 6-0 start by Waynesburg and tied the game 8-8 on a Fitzpatrick layup with 3:32 to go in the quarter. A 9-0 scoring run by the Titans pushed their lead to nine, 17-8, on a Murrio three-pointer with under a minute left in the first. Marley Wolf scored at the buzzer to cut Westminster's lead to seven, 17-10, going into the second. Senior Mariah Vincent (Franklin, Pa., Kennedy Catholic) opened the second quarter by drilling a three-pointer 25 seconds into the period and an Arison three-pointer stretched the Westminster lead to 14, 26-14, with under four minutes to go in the half. The Titans went into the break up 11, 34-23. 

Arison had eight first half points, going 3-of-4 from the floor and connecting on a pair of three-point field goals. Murrio and Fitzpatrick each had six points in the first half. 

Graduate student Camden Hergenrother (Salem, Ohio, Cardinal Mooney) hit a three-pointer 12 seconds into the third before Condoleon and Vincent connected on back-to-back three's with 4:23 left in the quarter that extended the Titans' lead to 18, 49-31. The Titans outscored the Yellow Jackets 27-13 in the third and went into the fourth up 25, 61-36. Cano had six points and three rebounds in the quarter. Condoleon's three-point play with just over five minutes left in the fourth pushed the Titans' lead to 30, 70-40. 

Westminster shot 47.4 percent (27-57) from the field and went 7-of-17 (.412) from the three-point line. The seven made three-pointers Wednesday tied the program's season high (7-12 at Franciscan, 12-16-23). The Titans outrebounded the Yellow Jackets 45-31 and had a 36-20 edge in points in the paint.
