Edinboro moved into a fifth-place tie with Indiana(Pa.) after defeating the Indians on Wednesday, 70-67. In the last three victories, head coach Stan Swank has employed a smaller "Smurf" lineup, as he likes to call it. The Boro shot 39 threepointers versus lUP and despite shooting just 23.1 percent from downtown (9 of 39), the game plan lifted the Scots out of last place in the West. Edinboro has shot 100 three's in the last three wins and has made 29 of those attempts. The Scots will host Shippensburg on Saturday, after falling to the Lady Raiders, 74-58, on January 19.

Ship is ranked fifth in the East Region and 18th in Division II.

The Raiders shot 19 of 20 from the foul line, while Edinboro made just 5 of 7 from the stripe. with a smaller linup, Edinboro reduced its negative rebounding margin from minus 11.3 to minus 5.4 in the three-game span. The Scots even outrebounded both Slippery Rock and Clarion. The Smurfs have aver­ aged 84.7 ppg., after the team averaged just 70.8 in the first 19 games. In the three wins, Henson averaged 23.7 ppg., Zitner averaged 18.3 points and 11.7 rpg. and Calderone has contributed 15.3 ppg., up from her previous average of 4.0 ppg.
