Point Park, Glenville State Set for Wednesday-Night Tilt

PITTSBURGH - Point Park women's basketball returns to CCAC-Allegheny on Wednesday night to face Glenville State. Opening tip is scheduled for 5:30. 

Winners of three of their last four, the Pioneers (6-12, 3-10 MEC) were lifted by Elizabeth Boyd's double-double on Monday night against Davis & Elkins. Boyd, who scored 24 points with 10 rebounds, was one of three players for PPU to score 20 points on the evening, joining Camille Fultz (29) and Alexis Giles (20). 

Glenville St. (16-3, 11-2 MEC) currently sits atop the MEC and enters on a four-game winning streak. The GSU Pioneers have won 13 of their last 14 games, including a win over Point Park on Jan. 3. 

Point Park saw Fultz and Sophia Moore score 25 and 21 points respectively, in the aforementioned 110-98 loss to GSU. Fultz added eight rebounds in the contest, and Boyd came a rebound and an assist shy of a triple-double, scoring 10 points with nine boards and nine assists.
