After a Zach Spitz jumper to open the game, the Lions were outscored 12-1 over the next five minutes as the home squad staked an early 12-3 lead. The Bobcat advantage hovered around 10 until a late first half surge by Altoona trimmed Greensburg's lead to 39-36 at intermission.
The decisive run for the visitors began with 16:41 remaining and Pitt-Greensburg up a basket when Colin Geiger nailed a triple, sparking a 12-0 run that gave the Lions a 10 point advantage. Consecutive lay ups by Quintin Dziabo followed by Franklin and Geiger lay ins upped the lead to 15 with just under four minutes to play.
The Bobcats, who dropped to 2-14 overall and 2-7 in AMCC play, were unable to make a final run, setting the final at 88-76. Altoona improved to 4-11 overall and 3-6 in AMCC play.
The win, coupled with the squad's 90-81 victory over Mount Aloysius on Monday, is the first two game winning streak since the season ending home stand a year ago when Altoona downed Hilbert and Medaille on consecutive days.
Geiger finished with 20, Dziabo registered 19, and Curtis Geiger scored 11. For Pitt-Greensburg, Rashad Davison had 18 points and Matt Rowland chipped in 15.
Altoona committed just 14 turnovers and made 23 foul shots compared to nine makes by Greensburg.
The squad hits the road on Saturday for a game at Hilbert, who the Lions downed 73-53 on December 2 to claim its first win of the year. Tip off is set for 4 PM.
