Frostburg State shook off a slow start and surged past Point Park 78–68 on Tuesday afternoon at WesBanco Arena in Wheeling, using a dominant middle stretch to seize control of the game.

Point Park came out firing early, shooting 60 percent in the opening quarter and building a 22–18 advantage behind a strong start from Alexis Giles, who knocked down a late three to cap the period. But Frostburg State gradually flipped the momentum in the second quarter, tightening its defense and attacking the paint to spark a 21–9 run that sent the Bobcats into halftime with a 39–31 lead.

The Bobcats put the game firmly in their grasp coming out of the break. Frostburg State shot better than 50 percent in both the second and third quarters and repeatedly found scoring opportunities near the rim, stretching the lead to 63–43 by the end of the third. Julie Spinelli and Ayla Hileman helped fuel the surge, while the Bobcats’ interior presence proved overwhelming as they piled up points in the paint.

Point Park refused to go quietly. The Pioneers opened the fourth quarter with renewed energy and cut into the deficit behind Giles and Camille Fultz, who combined to spark a late offensive push. Giles finished with a game-high 22 points, while Fultz added 13 and Lucia Hervia chipped in 13 more. But the comeback never fully materialized as Frostburg State answered key runs and maintained a comfortable margin down the stretch.

Jenna Muha and Sophie Nichols each scored 16 points to lead Frostburg State, while Spinelli added 15. The Bobcats’ balanced scoring and efficiency—shooting 50.8 percent from the field—proved decisive, along with a commanding 56 points in the paint that helped offset Point Park’s strong start.
