Pitt-Johnstown got a double-double of 16 points and 13 rebounds from Jasmine Harper and used 13-1 second half run to build nine-point lead on its way to a 78-67 PSAC victory over Seton Hill University, Saturday afternoon in the Sports Center.  The Lady Cats improved to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in conference-play.
 
After a sloppy start by both teams, Kayla DeCriscio's 3-pointer broke a 6-6 tie to start an 11-3 Lady Cat run that was capped by Harper's lay-up at the 10-minute mark to put Pitt-Johnstown in front 17-11.
 
Meghan Mastroianni's basket two minutes later got Seton Hill to within three, but Kelsey Sleighter and DeCriscio connected on 3-pointers to push the Lady Cat lead back out to 28-21 at 5:12.
 
The Griffins came right back and outscored Pitt-Johnstown 8-0 over the next two minutes to retake the lead 29-28 on a basket from Chelsea Apke and four straight Lindsey Misfud free-throws.
 
However, two free-throws from Leah Hansen and two more from Harper with 25 seconds left gave Pitt-Johnstown a 35-32 halftime advantage.
