Millersville got off to a hot and shot 61% in the first quarter to build a double-digit lead on its way to a 76-38 PSAC Crossover victory over the Pitt-Johnstown women's basketball, Saturday afternoon in Millersville.  Belle Bosch scored a game-high 18 points and pulled down five rebounds for the Mountain Cats, now 1-9 overall and 0-4 in conference-play.
 
Pitt-Johnstown also got six points and three rebounds from Liv West and five points from Sophia Ott.
 
Millersville hit 11 of its 18 first quarter shots to open up a 28-5 advantage.
 
Bryn Zentner's bucket early in the second quarter pushed it out to 32-5.  Pitt-Johnstown, which shot 60% in the quarter, answered with a 12-4 run over the next four minutes, capped by five straight points from Bosch and a layup from West, to cut it to 36-17.  However, Kali March knocked down a 3-pointer, then scored in the paint with under a minute left to help the Marauders outscored the Mountain Cats, 9-2, down the stretch to make it 45-19 at the break.
 
Pitt-Johnstown just couldn't get it going, and Millersville was able to maintain at least a 25-point lead throughout the second half.

The Marauders improved to 6-2 overall and 3-1 in the PSAC behind Zentner's 14 points and Kelly Cleaver's 11 points and game-high nine rebounds.
 
Pitt-Johnstown go to Colgate (NY) for an exhibition game on Saturday, then returns home to host a PSAC Crossover doubleheader with the men's team against West Chester on Dec. 17 at 1 p.m. in the Sports Center.
