How It Happened 
    Franciscan Women's Basketball made the trip to Chatham on Wednesday, as the game was moved up 30 minutes due to an incoming ice storm later that night. The home team had the advantage early, as the Barons came out cold from the floor. They had 16 first-half points, as the Cougars led 48-16 at the half. Franciscan's shooting improved in the third quarter, but the Cougars offense could not be contained. Four Chatham players scored in double-figures as they won 98-36.
  
Inside the Numbers 
- Melnyk scored six points, pulled in eight rebounds, and had three assists.
- Jannuzi made a pair of three-point field goals.
- Six points for Maria McCallen is her least in a game this season. 

Up Next 
Franciscan will head home to take on Allegheny on Saturday at 1:00 p.m. It will be Alumni Day in Steubenville as the Barons take on the Gators. The Gators beat the Barons 74-53 in Meadville back in December. Allegheny took a big first quarter lead with 24 points and held on to win. Maria McCallen led the Barons with 20 points in that game. Allegheny currently is in playoff position, and they are looking to secure one of the top two spots in the PAC Championship Tournament.
