Olivia Fasick erupted for a game-high 26 points and dished out a team-high seven assists to lead the Mountain Cats past West Chester in an 84-78 victory on Sunday afternoon in the Sports Center.

Fasick drilled three 3-pointers and was an impressive 11 of 12 from the free throw line as Pitt-Johnstown improved to 5-4 (2-1 PSAC). Peyton Alazaus dropped 16 points, which included four 3-pointers, and had six boards.

As a team, the Mountain Cats went 26 of 29 from the free throw line, including going a perfect 12 of 12 in the fourth quarter to help close out the Golden Rams.

After West Chester tied the game at 67-all on a layup, Hayden Taylor, who provided 13 points, answered with a personal 5-0 run to give the Mountain Cats the lead for good with 4:17 remaining.

The Golden Rams never went away, though, twice cutting the lead to two, the last time coming after a free throw by Leah Johnson made it 74-72 with just over two minutes to play. But Fasick hit four free throws on Pitt-Johnstown's next two possessions to push the lead to six and all but seal the game with 1:33 to go.

Makalyn Clapper, who had two of her three steals in the final two minutes of the fourth, racked up 12 points and a season-high eight rebounds.

Pitt-Johnstown hit four 3-pointers and shot 50% (7 of 14) from the field in the first quarter to take a 24-22 lead after one. After nailing four more 3-pointers in the second, the Mountain Cats went into the break in front 40-36.

Emily McAteer scored a team-high 25 points on 11 of 26 shooting and snagged a game-high 13 rebounds to pace West Chester, which dropped to 5-4 (2-1 PSAC).

The Mountain Cats host Millersville on Monday at 1 p.m. in the first game of a double-header with the men's team in what will be their final game before Christmas.
