PITTSBURGH – Point Park travels to Frostburg State on Saturday as the regular season winds down, looking to earn a season split with the Bobcats. The Pioneers will aim to play spoiler for the second-straight game when they tip-off at 2:00 p.m. in Frostburg.

Point Park enters the contest with momentum after defeating Fairmont State, 63-47, on Wednesday night. The Pioneers are now 7-16 overall and 4-14 in Mountain East Conference play.

Frostburg State comes in at 12-13 overall and 7-10 in MEC action. The Bobcats have been competitive of late, going 3-3 in their last six games.

Ayla Hileman and Jenna Muha each scored 12 for Frostburg, while Camille Fultz led Point Park with 10 points — the only Pioneer to reach double figures.
