Clash at Pasco-Hernando: Pittsburgh Panthers to Face Ball State Cardinals in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Pittsburgh Panthers prepare to host the Ball State Cardinals at the Pasco-Hernando State College West Campus, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an exhilarating game of women's basketball. The Panthers have been on a tear lately, and their recent performances suggest they're not about to slow down.

Looking back at their last game on December 10 against the Mountain Hawks, the Panthers dominated with a final score of 94-82. Their offensive prowess was on full display as they shot nearly 49 percent from the field and an impressive 50 percent from beyond the arc. With such high scoring efficiency, it's clear that when they hit the court, they do so with intent and precision.


The Panthers' ability to control rebounds was also evident in that game as they outrebounded their opponents by nine. This rebounding strength wasn't just a one-off occurrence; it has been consistent throughout their season. In another notable performance against Binghamton Bearcats on December 3, where they won by a comfortable margin of 73-62, Pittsburgh hauled in an astounding total of 42 rebounds.

Defensively, Pittsburgh has shown tenacity as well. They've been adept at turning defense into offense by capitalizing on turnovers which is highlighted by scoring 26 points off turnovers against Lehigh University's team.


The upcoming opponents, Ball State Cardinals come into this matchup after some mixed results but cannot be underestimated. Their three-point shooting accuracy stands out and could pose a challenge for any defense; however, if Pittsburgh maintains its aggressive defensive stance while continuing to dominate inside both offensively and defensively through rebounds and points in paint – there is every reason for optimism among Panther fans.
