FROSTBURG, Md. — The West Virginia Wesleyan women’s basketball earned its first victory of the season in comeback fashion on Saturday afternoon, surging past Pitt-Johnstown 79–72 at Bobcat Arena in Frostburg. The Lady Bobcats (1–1) used a decisive 23-point fourth quarter and a dominant interior presence to overcome a late nine-point deficit and secure the win.
Trailing 56–55 entering the final frame, Wesleyan outscored UPJ 23–17 in the fourth and shot an impressive 66.7% (8–12) from the field in the final period. Perhaps most importantly, the Lady Bobcats closed the game at the free-throw line, hitting 6-of-6 in the fourth quarter.
Four Lady Bobcats reached double figures, and Wesleyan shot an efficient 50% from the floor (30–60) on the day.
