BRADFORD, Pa. -- The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's basketball team will look for its second-straight win Wednesday as it hosts Penn State-Altoona at the KOA Arena for an Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference.

Pitt-Bradford enters Wednesday's matchup with an 8-8 mark in conference play, tied with Mount Aloysius for fourth place in the AMCC. Penn State-Altoona holds third place in the conference with a record of 10-6 in AMCC action.

The Panthers are coming off a convincing 65-48 win against Franciscan at the KOA Arena Monday.

As a team, Pitt-Bradford knocked down 10 three-pointers, the program's most since the Panthers made 14 in the double-overtime AMCC semifinal contest against Mount Aloysius last season on Feb. 24, 2018.

Shaelyn Snipes knocked down seven three-pointers -- one shy of tying the program single-game record -- to lead all scorers with 23 points.

Etreece Adams and Shirleah Ragin dropped 11 points each to help power the Panther offense.

Pitt-Bradford matched its strong offensive output with a stifling defensive effort, forcing 22 Franciscan turnovers.

Jasmin Miller blocked a Pitt-Bradford season-high six shots to highlight the Panther defensive effort.

Jennifer Isenberg collected three of the team's 11 steals.

On the season, Snipes leads the team in scoring with 14.1 points per game. Isenberg is close behind at 13.9 points per game while also pulling in a team-high 8.4 boards per game.

Ragin (11.7) and Latifah Cain (11.6) also average double-figure point totals.

Altoona is coming off a strong 89-55 victory over D'Youville Saturday that snapped a two-game losing skid. 

The Lions own two of the top-five scorers in the conference as Alexis Cannistraci ranks second in the AMCC averaging 17.1 points per game and Finnley Christine ranks fourth in the conference averaging 16.0 points per game.

Additionally, Cannistraci is third in the AMCC averaging 9.4 rebounds per game and Christine is fourth in the conference shooting 34.3 percent from long range.

Wednesday's game is set for a 6 p.m. tipoff. Pitt-Bradford will be hosting its "Red Flag -- If You See Something, Say Something" sexual assault education campaign during Wednesday's game day.
