Cameron Seeman scored a game-high 22 points and Washington & Jefferson’s men picked up a road victory Thursday night, 71-59, over cold-shooting Thiel in a Presidents’ Athletic Conference game.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for W&J (4-1, 6-8) but was the fourth consecutive conference victory by the Presidents. Thiel slipped to 1-3 in the PAC and 3-10 overall.

The Presidents took control of the game early, forging a 20-5 lead as Thiel made only two of its first 15 shots.

W&J pushed its lead to 29-15 at halftime while the Tomcats went 4-for-26 from the field in the opening 20 minutes.

The Presidents led by as many as 22 points midway through the second half before Thiel made it interesting down the stretch, pulling to within 63-55 with 2:11 remaining. That would be as close as Thiel would get as a three-point play by Seeman pushed the lead back to double digits.

Primo Zinni came off the bench to score 15 points for W&J, which shot 53 percent and made 10 of 17 three-point attempts.

Terrance Holloway’s 16 points was tops for Thiel.

Kenyon 88, Waynesburg 73: Seven different Kenyon players made a three-pointer and the Lords won their first game of the season, 88-73, over host Waynesburg in a nonconference game.

Carter Powell led four players in double figures for Kenyon (1-11) with 21 points. The Lords, who stopped a 13-game losing streak dating back to last season, made 10 of 25 three-pointers.

Waynesburg (3-9) had four players in double figures led by Shane Johnson and Noah Gearhart, each with 15. Frank Bozicevic had 14 points and Matt Popeck 10.

The Yellow Jackets, who never led in the game, have lost four in a row.

Women’s result

Wash & Jeff 73, Thiel 50: Lauren Gilbert scored a career-high 32 points, which included six three-point field goals, to lead Washington & Jefferson to a 73-50 victory over host Thiel in the PAC.

Gilbert, a sophomore guard from Baldwin, made 12 of 19 shots from the field including six of nine from three-point range. That was enough to power W&J to its fourth win in five conference games. The Presidents are 8-5 overall. Thiel slipped to 0-4 in the conference and 2-10 overall. The Tomcats have lost eight in a row.

Daneille Parker had a double-double of 12 points and 10 rebounds for W&J and Alie Seto scored 10 points.

Thiel’s Jess Vormelker had 23 points and eight rebounds. Destiny Johnson had 13 points and collected 10 rebounds. The Tomcats hurt themselves by making only five of 18 free throws.

The Presidents, who led 24-12 after one quarter and 41-29 at halftime, broke open the game by scoring 10 of the first 11 points of the second half.
