NORTH CANTON, Ohio – Four starters reached double figures for the Kentucky Wesleyan College women's basketball team on Friday night, propelling the Panthers to a 82-61 win over the No. 3 seed Cedarville University in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference semifinal.

Wesleyan will face the host and No. 1 seed Walsh University at 3 pm CT on Saturday for the G-MAC Championship.  This marks the first season since 2014-15 that Wesleyan has played for the conference tournament title.
