Thomas Ross, of Williamsport, led the Wildcats in scoring with 11 points. James Boylan, of Newton, N.J., had seven rebounds for Penn College.
Playing at home Thursday for the first time this season, the Wildcats opened a 29-22 first-half lead against Williamson Trade School, but faltered down the stretch in a 63-55 loss that dropped their record to 0-4.
