BRADFORD, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's basketball team will return home Wednesday to host Hilbert for an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference contest at the KOA Arena.

The Panthers are coming off a convincing 84-56 win on the road at Pitt-Greensburg Saturday. Latifah Cain led the Panthers with a career-high 22 points on 8-12 shooting and 5-5 from the free-throw line.

Five total Panthers scored in double-figures as Jennifer Isenberg dropped 16 points, Shirleah Ragin scored 13, Shaelyn Snipes poured in 12 and Etreece Adams scored 11.

Adams also collected a game-high 14 rebounds for a double-double.

A stifling defensive performance, Pitt-Bradford forced 28 Bobcat turnovers -- tying the season high set in both contests against Medaille on Nov. 28 and Jan. 23. 

The win elevated the Panthers' AMCC record to 6-5 and dropped Pitt-Greensburg to 5-7.

The Panthers remain in the upper echelon of the conference, entering the week in fourth place.

Isenberg remains one of the top rebounders in the conference averaging the fifth-most boards in the AMCC with 8.5 per game.

Additionally, Snipes is eighth in the conference in scoring averaging 14.6 points per game.

Hilbert enters the KOA Arena tied for first in the AMCC at 10-2 in conference play.

Earlier this season, Hilbert topped the Panthers on Jan. 9, 85-79, in overtime. The Panthers led for much of the contest but a fourth-quarter comeback elevated the Hawks.

Katelyn Proy is the top shot blocker in the country with 65 blocks so far this season. Additionally, Taylor Corts is the team's top scorer and the fifth-best in the conference averaging 15.9 points per game.

Wednesday's game is set for a 6 p.m. start. It will serve as the first part of a doubleheader with the men's game coming after.
