HAMBURG, N.Y. – Hilbert College Women's Basketball suffered an 67-31 Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference defeat to Penn State Altoona, who improved to 3-0 in league action.

HOW IT HAPPENED
 

• Kayla Johnson scored Hilbert's only points in the opening period after making both attempts at the foul line mid-way through the quarter and then finished the session with an old-fashioned three-point play with 13-seconds remaining.
• Kelsey Schlagenhauf hit a pair at the charity stripe and Chloe Champagne drilled her 3-pointer on the right wing in the second quarter as both teams went to the locker room separated by 26 points.
• Schlagenhauf went on a 7-point run after intermission helping Hilbert to slice into the point differential before Johnson tossed in a pair from the field before the start of the fourth quarter.
• Kylie Morgan, after scoring a bucket in the third quarter, chipped into the scoring column in the final session, joining Schlagenhauf and Johnson's efforts.
