Trailing by two points at halftime, Trinity used a big third and fourth quarter to defeat Upper St. Clair 63-46 in an non-section girls basketball game Saturday afternoon at Hiller Hall.

Upper St. Clair (3-2, 6-6) raced out to a lead after a 19-point first quarter led by Kate Groninger. The senior forward scored all of her team-high 12 points in the opening eight minutes.

But the balance of Trinity (7-0, 13-3) became too much to handle for the Panthers.

Riley DeRubbo had 16 points and eight assists, while Alayna Cappelli and Allie Scarfo each finished with 15 points for the Hillers.

It’s the sixth consecutive win for Trinity.

Washington 59, Shenango 28: Washington used a balanced scoring attack to defeat Shenango 59-28 in a Section 1-AA game.

Carley Allen scored a game-high 22 points for the Prexies, who outscored Shenango in each of the four quarters.

Washington (6-1, 9-3) built a 31-16 halftime lead then cruised with another 28 points in the second half behind Torri Finley’s 14 points and 13 from Randi Thomas.

Shenango (3-5, 5-10) was paced by Madison Harden, who scored 15 points.

Waynesburg 33, Geibel 29: Rachel Elsenheimer and Shay Echegaray each scored nine points as Waynesburg rallied from a halftime deficit to defeat Geibel 33-29 in a non-section game.

Trailing 13-12 at halftime, Waynesburg (1-6, 3-11) scored 12 points in the third quarter to lead 24-17. The Raiders then held off a late comeback from Geibel.

Geibel (4-1, 6-6) was led by Gillian and Gabby Yourish who scored 11 and 10 points, respectively.

McIntire, who went perfect from the free-throw line (10-of-10), helped Waynesburg (1-6, 4-10) to a 32-30 halftime lead.

But the balanced scoring from Uniontown’s Kamron Fitzgerald and William Deshields were too much for the Raiders.
