GENEVA, Pa. (Dec. 7) – The Waynesburg University women's basketball team won its third-straight Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) game on Wednesday night when it travelled to Geneva.

The second half got off to much the same start as the first as Waynesburg scored the first 14 points after returning from its locker room. The Jackets led by as many as 51 points in the second half before closing out the win.
 
The Yellow Jacket offense featured three double-digit scorers, including freshman Hayden Giuliani, who totaled a game-high 16 points on eight-of-11 shooting, while also swiping away a contest-best three steals. Sophomore Elaine Hasek chipped in 12 points, while senior point guard Hannah Hunter added 12 points, a game-high eight rebounds and a contest-best six assists.
