Allie Seto, a freshman forward from Brownsville, scored a career-high 26 points and Washington & Jefferson overpowered Thiel 95-48 in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference women’s game Wednesday night at Henry Memorial Center.

Seto made 8 of 10 shots, including 2 of 3 from three-point range, and made 8 of 9 free throws. Seto averages only 6.8 points per game but was too much for Thiel, which was held to just 19 second-half points, including seven in the third quarter.

W&J (13-2, 19-3), which has won four in a row, led 43-29 at halftime. The Presidents scored at least 21 points in all four quarters.

Seto led four W&J players who scored in double figures. Maria Lawhorne, a freshman from Plum, also had a career high, scoring 17 points to go with eight rebounds. Mya Gordon had 12 points and Lauren Gilbert rounded out the double-figure scoring with 10 points.

Thiel’s Jess Vormelker, a 1,000-point scorer, had 24 points for the Tomcats, who are 2-13 in the PAC and 3-19 overall.

California 62, Gannon 50: Shatara Parsons scored 21 points and California kept the pressure on IUP and Edinboro atop the PSAC’s West Division with a 62-50 win over Gannon at the Hammermill Center.

California forged a double-digit lead in the first half and led by as many as 20 in the second half.

D.J. Hahn, with 17 points, was the only other Cal player to score in double figures. Hahn and Parsons combined for 18 of the Vulcans’ 26 field goals.

Gannon (10-7, 13-10) was led by Nocile LaCava, who scored 13 points.

Waynesburg 70, Chatham 45: Waynesburg’s Addy Knetzer had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds, and the Yellow Jackets shot 50 percent from the field en route to a 70-45 victory over Chatham in a PAC game at Rudy Marisa Fieldhouse.

Waynesburg improved to 9-6 in the conference and 13-9 overall. The Yellow Jackets have won three of their last four games.

The Yellow Jackets led 22-15 after one quarter, then held Chatham (2-13, 4-18) to only six points in the second quarter to open a 39-21 lead.

Knetzer led five Waynesburg players in double figures. Rachel Eng and Erin Joyce each scored 11 points, and Mackenna Drazich and Monica Starre each had 10 points. Starre had seven assists and Joyce made three three-pointers. The Yellow Jackets were 5-for-9 from three-point range.
