NEW WILMINGTON, Pa.--The Westminster College women's basketball program was dealt a 53-44 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) loss by visiting Waynesburg University Monday afternoon at Ron Galbreath Court inside Buzz Ridl Gymnasium.

Freshman guard Angelina Brush (Murrysville, Pa., Franklin Regional) paced Westminster with a career-high 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting. She added four boards. Freshman guard Katie Maryo (Cleveland, Ohio, Magnificat) chipped in with nine points and three assists while sophomore guard Kennedy Arison (Medina, Ohio, Akron Hoban) and sophomore forward Grace Cano (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) each had seven. Senior forward Emily Hess (Edinboro, Pa., General McLane) finished with a career-high 15 rebounds.

The Jackets finished the half riding a 9-1 scoring run to tie the game at 20-20 heading into the break. 

A Brush layup followed by a Maryo three-pointer 48 seconds into the third gave Westminster a quick five-point lead, 25-20. The Jackets outscored the Titans 9-0 over the ensuing three-plus minutes to grab a 29-25 lead. Waynesburg's lead swelled to 11, 37-26, with just over two minutes left in the quarter.
