Wednesday’s Contests

lndiana(Pa.) had climbed into 24th
place in the USA TodayNSJBCA Division II
rankings before suffering a 78-65 loss at
Clarion on Saturday. The loss also
snapped a three-game winning streak ...
coach Sandy Thomas’ team showcases
balance and an extremely stingy defense.
I UP stands sixth in field goal percentage
(33.7%) and ninth in scoring defense (58.6
ppg.). In addition, the Indians are in the
top twenty in rebounding margin (8.2 rpg.)
... only one Indian scores in double fig­
ures, but eight players come in at five
points or better and nine average at least
13 minutes a game. The leading scorer is
Beth McDonald. A 5” 11” sophomore,
McDonald averages 12.2 ppg., and is also
the top rebounder at 9.3 per game.
McDonald is shooting 58.1 percent from
the floor, and owns 21 blocks ... Melissa
McGill is next on the scoring parade at 9.5
ppg. Oddly enough, the 6’5” junior has yet
to start a game, but she has been on fire

Edinboro staved off an 0-3 start in
league play with a win over 14th-ranked
Shippensburg on Saturday, and now face
another ranked foe in lndiana(Pa.). The
Indians were 24th in last week’s USA
TodayPAlBCA Division II poll. lUP was first
in the East Region prior to Saturday’s 7865 defeat at Clarion, while Edinboro had
slipped to seventh. The Indians size and

swingman Megan Woodall (8.9 ppg., 50

McDonald as the only players to start all
16 games ... Senior Molly Carr (8.8 ppg.),
sophomore Carrie Maitland (8.6 ppg.)
and junior Jodi Frederick (8.3 ppg.) also
see plenty of action. Carr has a team-high
40 steals, and is also the top three-point
threat with 16 in 35 attempts. Maitland is
the team leader in assists (52), while
Frederick brings size up front, the 6’1”
center contributing 6.5 rpg. and 21 blocks
... second team All-PSAC West performer
Theresa Kabala has seen her scoring
average fall from 14.0 ppg. to 7.1 ppg. ...

dle. She averages 5.4 ppg. and 4.0 rpg.

for the Scots.

BnUORO lASKIBALL AT A GUINCE
Edinboro took a huge step towards right­
ing itself on Saturday, knocking off 14thranked Shippensburg. After a 9-0 start in
which Edinboro climbed to as high as 16th
in the USA TodaylWBCA Division II Top 25,
the Fighting Scots lost four in a five of six
contests before snapping the string with a
pair of wins this past week.
The victory over Shippensburg tightened
the PSAC West race, while ensuring that
the Boro would not drop its third straight
PSAC fray.
With leading scorer Marin Hightower
missing the last four games, it appears that
the Scots are starting to adjust to life with­
out the junior forward. She will likely be out
once again against I UP.
The modest two-game winning streak
the Scots are currently on also coincides
with a return to McComb Fieldhouse, where
the Scots are 7-1.

Edinboro leads the all-time series, 27-19,
capturing the last five meetings. The
Fighting Scots claimed an 82-62 win at lUP a year ago, then fol­
lowed up with a 79-66 triumph at McComb Fieldhouse. In the first
meeting, Meghan Miller had 26 points, with 6 three-pointers, and
recorded 8 steals. Amy Rapelje paced the Scots in the second tilt
with 23 points and 10 rebounds.

SGOUTM
THE FIGimN6 SCOTS
Edinboro’s 68-64 win over Shippensburg snapped a sevengame losing skid to the Lady Raiders, with four of those losses
coming a year ago. More importantly, it proved to the Fighting
Scots that they can defeat a quality opponent while battling the
absence of Marin Hightower, the team’s leading scorer and sec­
ond-leading rebounder at 20.0 ppg. and 9.1 rpg... with Hightower
missing, much of the scoring load has fallen on guards Jessica
Rowe and Meghan Miiier. Rowe, a junior, has averaged 21.0
ppg. over the last four outings, including 22 vs. Shippensburg.
That has boosted her average to 14.2 ppg. The 5’8” guard leads
the Scots with 58 assists, is the top free throw shooter at 85.5 per­
cent (47 of 55), and has made 22 of 63 three’s. Rowe moved past
Amy Rapelje into 12th place in career scoring with 1,109 points.
Miller had a string of six straight games in double figures snapped
by Shippensburg, as the senior was held to 9 points. She is aver­
aging 12.8 ppg., with 55 assists and a team-leading 40 steals. The

school’s career leader in three-pointers made with 216, the senior
has been on fire of late, making 19 of 35 triples over the last seven
outings. She has made 41 of 95 overall. Miller has 395 career
assists, that figure good for third all-time, and stands fourth in
career scoring with 1,371 points ... Kelli Torboli will open in the
middle. The 6’0” senior turned in a strong outing against
Shippensburg, battling Ashley Totedo, the PSAC’s all-time leading
rebounder and a first team all-conference selection, on even
terms. Torboli recorded her eight double-double, ending the day
with 15 points and 11 boards. On the season, she averages 11.2
ppg. and 10.1 rpg. In addition, she has a team-high 33 blocks ...
forward Dana Polakowski was another player who stepped up
against Shippensburg. The 5’H” junior scored 11 points and
pulled down 13 boards. She is now up to 6.6 ppg. and 6.5 rpg.,
along with 38 assists ... head coach Stan Swank will choose
between freshman Korie Morton (6.2 ppg., 4.4 rpg.) and sopho­
more Julie McNees (1.8 ppg.) for the fifth starting spot. Morton is
a 5’9” swingman who provides more size and rebounding in the
lineup. However, she has been very foul prone of late. McNees is
a 5’6” guard who is strong defensively and gives the Scots anoth­
er ballhandler... Kim Vay is the main frontcourt reserve. The 5’10”
sophomore, like Torboli a transfer from Califomia(Pa.), averages
6.8 ppg. and 5.1 rpg. while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Edixboro University Athletic Fund Drive
Dear Friends of the Fighting Scots:

List of Benefits

Having accepted the chal­
lenge of leading Edinboro
University’s athletic depart­
ment into the 21st century, I
am excited about spear­
heading this annual athletic
fund drive for the direct ben­
efit of our student-athletes.
With the growing cost of
education, the importance of
private funding for our ath­
letic program is vital to the
continued success we have
all enjoyed here at Edinboro University. With no
state appropriation for athletic scholarships, we
depend on labor-intensive fundraising events, as
well as the generous support of our alumni and
friends, to supplement our scholarship fund.
The efforts of our University employees during
our summer camp season continue to be the major
source of our financial development. Although the
University has enjoyed athletic success in the
1990s, our sports teams continue to be funded well
below the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) allowable limit. Overall, it is the goal of
Edinboro University to give the best quality educa­
tion and athletic experience possible to our studentathletes. We not only want our students to have the
opportunity to compete, but to be the very best they
can be.
At Edinboro University, we will do everything pos­
sible to generate the resources necessary to stay
competitive, but we need your ongoing support to
continue to improve upon our rich athletic tradition.
We are excited about hearing from you soon, as
you join us on our mission to provide a quality ath­
letic program for the entire Edinboro family.
Sincerely,

Bruce R. Baumgartner, Director of Athletics
