GAME NOTES:
Heaping praise: Rock senior co-captains Jackie Altenweg and Shelbey
Wardman both received honorable mention for PS AC-West player of the week.
The Rock split a pair of decisions, defeating Clarion and falling to PittJohnstown. Altenweg averaged 22.0 ppg and 4.5 rpg while Wardman averaged
21.5 ppg and 5.0 rpg for
the week.
1-2 punch; Altenweg
and Wardman have
climbed into the uj^r
echelon of The Rock’s
career scoring chart this
season. As this chart
shows, Wardman and
Altenweg currently rank
fourth and fifth, respec­
tively.
Payback time: The
Rock seeks to repay
Edinboro for the 89-75 loss
suffered earlier this season.
Freshman forward Stacey Green’s 17 points and 17 rebounds and freshman
guard Nicol Ellis’ 19 points off the bench were not enough. The Rock defense
looks to step it up against Megan 21itner and Krystal Henson, who both scored
24 points in the previous meeting.
Playoff implications: The Rock is currently sitting in third place in the
PSAC-West division. It is still possible to win a share of the regular season
crown if The Rock would
win its final two games
and California would lose
its final two.
Boro bombers:
Edinboro boasts the top
three-point shooter (3.38/
game) in the PSAC in
Krystal Henson.
Henson (15.6 ppg),
Megan Zitner (10.5
I^g), and Lachelle
Crawl (10.0 ppg) each
average in double figures.
Point guard Courtney
Thompson boasts the
best assist-to-tumover
ratio in the PSAC at 3.37.
Conference nlav;
Jackie Altenweg has
been lighting it up in
conference play this
season with a 21.0 ppg
average and also three
games of 30 or more
points. Junior point
guard Missy McKavish has also seen her productivity increase in conference
play. She is averaging 10.8 ppg, 4.9 rpg, and 4.2 apg in PSAC-West games.
