Posted by CoachPMcGinnis on Monday, January 25, 2010

(PRINCETON, W.Va.)---A pair of contests featuring teams with winning records are the feature attractions on Monday's WVIAC women's basketball schedule. West Virginia Wesleyan (9-6, 6-3) travels to Pitt Johnstown (8-6, 5-4) in a 5:30 p.m. start, while West Virginia State (9-7, 5-6) hosts Concord (10-5, 7-3) at 7:00 p.m.

Wesleyan brings a four-game win streak to the UPJ Sports Center that includes a trio of victories by five points or fewer. The Bobcats are battle-tested by a schedule that has seen 12 of 14 opponents to date own winning records. Sophomore guard Lydia Bridenbaugh leads WVWC with 18.5 points per game, while Danae Hill adds 13.4 points per contest. Senior center Angela Tassari is second in the WVIAC with 34 blocked shots.

Pitt Johnstown has alternated wins and losses in their last six outings. The Lady Cats are paced in scoring by Sheena Aden's 14.2 points per game. The junior guard also leads her team with 50 assists and 39 steals. Andrea Dalton chips in 13.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game for UPJ.

Concord and West Virginia State are playing a makeup game of a contest that was snowed out last month. WVSU used a late rush to bounce Ohio Valley 74-52 on Saturday, while Concord dropped a heartbreaking 67-65 decision at West Liberty.

State has won three of four and is led in scoring by Marshall transfer Alixandria Barnette's 16.7 points per game. Tonesha Members (11.7 ppg) and Danielle Davis (11.6 ppg) each score in double figures for the Jackets.

Sierra Brown tops the CU scoring column with 14.1 points per game. Jolysa Brown tallies 13.5 points and grabs a team-leading 9.0 rebounds per outing. Youngstown State transfer Camisha Alexander scores at a 10.4 points per game clip and registered a season-high 21 points Saturday at West Liberty.

The only other Monday night league affair pits Alderson-Broaddus (4-10, 2-7) versus homestanding Bluefield State (1-15, 1-10). Non-conference contests see Washington Adventist (0-16) visiting Davis & Elkins (8-6) and Ohio Valley (4-9) takes a trip to Urbana (11-8).

The lone Tuesday contest should be a good one as Seton Hill (9-5) hosts a solid Lake Erie (14-8) squad. Lake Erie owns a six-game win streak and has victories this season versus Grand Valley State, Fairmont State, and Concord.
