GREENSBURG, Pa. -- Three Grove City College women's basketball players scored in double figures Monday night at Pitt-Greensburg but the Wolverines dropped a 66-57 decision to Pitt-Greensburg in non-conference action at Chambers Hall.

Junior guard Kelsey Shirey (Macedonia, Ohio/Nordonia) added 11 points for the Wolverines, who played their first game in 23 days.
Pitt-Greensburg (5-5) led by as many as 10, 33-23, in the first half and held a 36-30 halftime lead. Grove City charged back to take the lead early in the second half after McDonald, Shirey and McClean all hit jumpers.
