BRADFORD, Pa. – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford women's basketball team has earned the No. 3 seed in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference Championship Tournament and will host No. 6 La Roche on Wednesday at the KOA Arena, conference officials announced Saturday. 

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m.

The women's basketball team will wear its white jerseys, and fans are encouraged to join them in wearing white to White Out the KOA Arena.

Pitt-Bradford went 14-10 overall and 11-7 in AMCC games during the regular season to finished third in the conference.

The Panthers have won their last two games and have found victories in seven of their last nine contests of the season dating back to Jan. 20.

All season, the Panthers played their best ball at home, going 7-4 at the KOA Arena while averaging 71.6 points per game and shooting nearly 40 percent from the floor in the 11 contests.

The Panthers are led by the AMCC's leading scorer in Ali Rinfrette, who finished the regular season with 22.0 points per game – the lone player in the conference to average more than 20 points per contest.

Another key to the Panthers' successful season is Jennifer Isenberg, who averaged a double-double on the season as Pitt-Bradford's second-leading scorer with 14.0 points per game and the third-best rebounder in the AMCC with 10.1 boards per game.
