HEAD COACH: Roger Lefebvre
have been outrebounded by the Boro by 7.3
per game ... in addition to defense, balance
has marked the ‘98-99 campaign. While
juniors Marin Hightower and Jessica Rowe are the lone players scoring in double figures. Swank can rely on seven players averag­
ing 5.5 points or better. Hightower leads the way, the 6’1” junior posting impressive numbers each game. Thanks to a career-high 28
points, plus 10 rebounds, Hightower was named the MVP of the Fighting Scot Invitational.
She comes in at 20.2 ppg and 8.7 rpg.,
the latter figure second on the team. She has converted 64.3 percent (54 of 84) of her field goals... Hightower provides the inside punch,
with Rowe the outside complement. The 5’8” guard contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists vs. St. Vincent, good enough to
land a spot on the All-Toumament team. She is averaging 13.3 ppg.,
while standing second in assists (24), steals (17) and three-pointers (9
of 20). Rowe is also deadly from the line, making 11 of 12 ... Rowe’s
backcourt mate is Meghan Miller. A 5’7” senior. Miller is averaging 9.5
ppg., but more importantly has dished out a team-high 27 assists while
committing just 11 turnovers. In addition, she leads the Scots with 18

man Korie Morton. Vay, a 5’10” forward, is averaging 9.7 ppg.
and 6.2 rpg. while shooting 61.5 percent from the floor. Morton is
a talented 5’9” swingman who hails from a strong Woodland Hills
High School program. She made her first career start against St.
Vincent, and averages 6.5 points and 4.0 rebounds ... sophomore
guard Julie McNees (3.4 ppg.) is also available fior backcourt
duty.
SCOUTING THE TIGERS: Salem-Teikyo fell to 1-5 following
its 66-59 defeat at Fairmont State, the WVIAC opener for the Lady
Tigers. Coach Roger Lefebvre’s team is accustomed to playing on
the road, having played just one contest at home. The Tigers are
giving up an alarming 78.5 ppg., and have converted just 34.2 per­
cent of their field goal attempts. Another major reason the Tigers
have been caged so far is an 8.3 deficit on the glass ... SalemTeikyo showcases a pair of players scoring in double figures - for­
ward Robin Nesper and guard Letica Hodge. Nesper, a 5’9”
senior, leads the way at 15.6 ppg., and is also the top rebounder
with 8.6 caroms a contest. While shooting just 33.3 percent from
the floor, Nesper has made 56 trips to the free throw line, convert­
ing 36. She finished with 13 points against Fairmont State.
Hodge, 5’3” sophomore, is next at 11.7 ppg., including a team-high
15 markers on Monday. The Tiger point guard adds 5.0 rebounds.

along with team highs in assists (15) and steals (22). However,
she has turned the ball over an alarming 45 times ... Hodge is
joined in the backcourt by Chrissy Luchuck, a 5’6” freshman.
Luchuck specializes in the three-point bomb, having already taken
50 shots from outside the arc, making 11. She is averaging 9.0
ppg ... seniors Becky Petts and Jennifer Lacy complete the start­
ing five. Petts is a 5’9” forward averaging 9.8 ppg. and 6.3 rpg.
She pulled down 12 missed shots against Fairmont State. Lacy
comes in at 2.3 ppg. and 3.0 rpg., but Lefebvre is looking for size
in the lineup, inserting the 6’1” senior... sophomore Staci Bums
is the top scoring threat off the bench. The 5’9” fonward is aver­
aging 8.0 ppg. and 6.3 rpg. Junior Hilary Schroeder (5.2 ppg., 4.2
rpg.), a 5’6” guard, and senior Jaime Watkins (4.2 ppg.), a 57”
guard, are also likely to see considerable action.
