Breana Valentine stretched the Wildcats lead to double digits (18-8) with back-to-back buckets in the second quarter and her layup with 11 seconds left in the first half gave the Wildcats a 35-24 lead at the break. 

Penn College had a balanced attack in the third quarter to outscore Berks, 20-11 as Lex Troup scored six points, Kayla Herzer had five, Emily Woolson scored four and Kenni Galbreath and Mia Patterson combined for the first five points in the frame, extending the Wildcats lead to 55-35 after three quarters of action to coast to the finish.
