Washington & Jefferson swept the women’s & men’s semifinal doubleheader Thursday night, advancing to the Presidents Athletic Conference championship games happening today. The #1 W&J women jumped in front comfortably, then held off a Bethany rally to earn a spot in the final against #2 Westminster. W&J opened conference play with a one-point win over the Titans in early December, then followed that up with a 16-point home win in mid-January.
The top-seeded W&J men battled back and forth with Waynesburg, finally securing the win and a third meeting with Chatham this season. The teams split their regular season home-and-home series, each winning on the road.
The two championship games will be played at W&J’s Salvitti Family Gymnasium. We’ll have live coverage of both games on WJPA. The women’s game is set to tip at 4:30 pm with the men’s title tilt set for 7:30 pm. Hear both games on WJPA-AM (1450) or Listen Here
