ERIE, Pa. (Nov. 20) – The Waynesburg University women's basketball team traveled to Penn State Behrend for a non-Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) matchup on Saturday. The Yellow Jackets fell into a deep hole early and dropped the road contest 80-52.

The Yellow Jackets (0-4) opened the contest on a field goal from sophomore Marley Wolfe (Ellwood City, Pa. / Riverside). The Lions (4-1) responded by scoring 18 of the next 20 points to build a 18-4 lead with 4:11 remaining in the first quarter.
