November 21, 2025 – Scranton, PA
Penn State Fayette put together a dominant wire-to-wire performance on Thursday night, overpowering Penn State Scranton 78–43 behind an explosive offensive showing and one of the most efficient shooting nights of the season.
First Quarter – Fayette Sets the Tone
Fayette immediately established control, pushing the pace and attacking the paint. Heaven Grumm was unstoppable from the jump, scoring at all three levels and pacing Fayette's offense with a near-perfect shooting display. Scranton struggled to generate clean looks, opening the game 0-for-7 from three and facing heavy defensive pressure on the perimeter.
Second Quarter – Grumm Takes Over
Grumm continued her dominant night, finishing the first half in double figures with remarkable efficiency. Fayette's crisp ball movement—highlighted by strong decision-making from Reagan Rudder and Takiah Cheathon—kept Scranton's defense in rotation. By halftime, Fayette had built a comfortable lead, shooting well above 60% from the floor.
Third Quarter – Fayette Pulls Away
Scranton made a brief push behind Karma Paez and Autumn Koch, who combined for five made threes, but the hosts couldn't string together sustained momentum. Fayette responded with a 12–2 run keyed by Savannah Walls, who was dominant on both ends, controlling the boards and adding timely scoring. Fayette's interior presence overwhelmed Scranton, who struggled inside for most of the evening.
Fourth Quarter – Fayette Closes It Out
Fayette's depth sealed the final margin as the Lions continued to share the ball and defend without letting up. Scranton, shooting just 19.7% from the field, never found stability offensively. Fayette's size, pace, and shot selection proved decisive in delivering a convincing road win.
