Westminster falls just short in four-point loss at Saint Vincent

LATROBE, Pa.--The Westminster women's basketball program suffered a 61-57 Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Championship Tournament quarterfinal loss at Saint Vincent Tuesday night inside the Robert S. Carey Center.

Westminster, the No. 4 seed in the PAC's North Division, wrapped up its season 9-17. Saint Vincent, the tournament's top seed and No. 1 seed in the PAC's South Division, improved to 20-6. 

Sophomore Katie Grexa (Hartford, Ohio, Badger) finished with 12 points on 6-of-10 shooting. She added six rebounds and a pair of assists. Junior Grace Cano (Greenville, Pa., Greenville) had 11 points and three boards. Sophomore Angelina Brush (Murrysville, Pa., Franklin Regional) finished with nine points, going 3-of-3 from beyond the three-point line, and added six rebounds. 

Emerson Peffer led Saint Vincent with a 17-point, 13-rebound double-double. 

Westminster got off to a hot start, running its first quarter lead to as many as eight before going into the second down by two, 18-16. Brush hit all three of her three-point attempts in the opening quarter. The Titans snagged a one-point lead, 21-20, on a Cano layup with just over seven minutes left in the half and went into the break leading by one, 32-31. Cano scored six of her 11 in the second quarter. Junior Kennedy Arison (Medina, Ohio, Akron Hoban) had five second quarter points. 

Saint Vincent ran its lead to eight, 44-36, with just under five to go in the third before Westminster closed out the quarter riding a 9-2 run and cutting the deficit to one, 46-45, going into the fourth. After the Bearcats pushed their lead to nine, 58-49, with 4:18 to go, the Titans rattled off eight-straight points to pull to within one, 58-57, on a Grexa bucket with 1:15 left. Saint Vincent knocked down 3-of-4 free throws down the stretch to escape with the four-point win. 

Westminster shot 43.8 percent (21-48) from the floor and 8-of-19 (.421) from three-point range.
