The Boro defeated Slippery Rock at home, 89-75, and Clarion on the road, 95-84, last week. Edinboro played an even smaller line-up than usual in the victories, featuring four guards and a 510" forward. After averaging just 70.8 ppg., the Scots averaged 92.0 points in their two wins. Megan Zitner and Wendy Wiggins each registered double-doubles in both wins. Edinboro lost to Indiana(Pa.) at lUP in the last match-up just two weeks ago, 89-75. lUP is coming off a loss to Slippery Rock, 80-69. The game before, lUP defeated the East's fifth-ranked team, Shippensburg, 80-76. The Indians are 3-5 in the West and 11-11 overall. lUP is fifth in the West, fighting for the top four spots in the playoffs, along with the Boro. Edinboro's late-season surge must continue to keep playoff hopes alive. The Scots have four games remaining in the West and play three at home. Besides lUP, the Boro will host Shippensburg and Lock, and travel to Slippery Rock. THE EDINBORO-iMNANACPA] MM Edinboro leads 31-22. n0 ngtwm seus 'i mmns" w iC CAREER 3-POINT FELD COALS MADE 1.

As of the last two games, coach Stan Swank has found his smallest formula to bring big suc­ cess. Edinboro snapped its seven game losing streak with wins over Slippery Rock and Qarion. His "Smurf" lineup, as Swank refers to them, employs four guards and just one forward.

The left-hander set a freshman record with 51 three-pointers in her rookie year and made 59 from downtown a year ago, ranking third among all-time season totals. The tri­ captain is shooting 37.3 percent from behind the arc. Henson leads the PSAC in three-pointers made for the second season in a row. She has scored 822 points in her career at Edinboro, ranking 24th. No. Homo Pos. HI.
