CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. – Mac Oribello (San Diego, Calif./Westview) hit a career-high seven 3-pointers to help the Keystone women's basketball team power past Wilson, 82-76, Monday night in Colonial States Athletic Conference play at the Gannett Field House.

Wilson opened the fourth period on a 9-0 run, but the Giants quickly countered with a seven-point swing as the two teams battled to two additional ties in the period until Oribello splashed her final 3-pointer at the two-minute mark to give Keystone its final lead for the win.

Abby Ritz (Tunkhannock, Pa./Tunkhannock Area) followed with four more points and Bella Lamonea (Glendora, Calif./South Hills) added a cherry 3-pointer on top to reach the final score of 82-76.

With the win, Keystone improved to 10-4 in the CSAC (12-7 overall) and clinched a spot in the six-team CSAC Championships at the end of February. Currently, the Giants hold the No. 2 spot in the standings.

Wilson fell to 9-4 CSAC, 10-9 overall and slid to the No. 3 spot.
