Game Day Info
EDUnmiASIETMLLATAaiUKE
After a 9-0 start in which Edinboro
climbed to as high as 16th in the USA
Todayl\NBCA Division II Top 25, the
Fighting Scots have fallen on hard times,
dropping five of their last six contests.
Edinboro is currently in the throes of a fourgame losing skid, the longest since 199495.
The latest loss came on Saturday, as
the Boro suffered an 82-70 defeat at
California(Pa.) to fall to 0-2 in PSAC West
action. That marks the first time since
1993-94 that the Scots lost their first two
PSAC contests.
Head coach Stan Swank is hoping that
an independent contest against Lake
Superior State will help his squad right
itself. The game will be Edinboro’s final
game of a non-conference nature, with the
remainder of the schedule against PSAC
West foes. It also marks the first home
game for Edinboro in a month.

TE ion vs. lAKESUPOm STATE

Edinboro and Lake Superior State are
meeting for the first time.

Edinboro brings a 10-5 record into its
encounter with the Lakers of Lake Superior
State. While impressive, it pales in comparion to the 9-0 start coach Stan Swank’s
team got off to ... the Fighting Scots lead
the PSAC in scoring offense, but that figure
has suffered mightily during the recent los­
ing skid. After averaging 85.6 ppg. over
the first nine contests, the Scots are aver­
aging just 67.8 ppg. over the last five out­
ings ... the Boro received a severe blow
last week when Marin Hightower was
felled by illness. The junior forward was
averaging a team-high 20.0 ppg. and 9.1
rpg., second on the team. Hightower has
already missed the team’s PSAC openers
against Clarion and California(Pa.), and
will be unavailable for the Lake Superior
State contest.
She is doubtful for
Saturday’s key league encounter with
Shippensburg, as well ... with Hightower
missing, much of the scoring load has fall-

HEAD COACH: Kris Bullock (1st season it Lake Superior St., 6-7)
Lake Superior State is making its sec­
ond trip to northwest Pennsylvania, having
journeyed to Erie to play Gannon and
Mercyhurst In December. The Lakers
were 1-1 on that trip, and can do no worse
the second time around following an 80-37
triumph over Westminster on Saturday.
The victory boosted the Lakers, mem­
bers of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference, to 6-7, and snapped
a two-game losing skid.
First-year coach Kris Bullock’s squad
had little trouble against Westminster,
jumping to a 41-24 lead at intermission,
then limiting the Titans to 13 points and
just 3 of 25 field goals in the second half.
The Lakers also enjoyed a huge 57-27
edge on the glass.
Senior Jill VanderEnde, a 5’10” for­
ward, led the way with 17 points, the 11th
time she has led Lake Superior State in
scoring, and the tenth straight game.
VanderEnde is averaging 19.0 ppg., along

with 6.9 rpg., both figures tops on the
team. She is also shooting an impressive
52.3 percent from the floor.
Sophomore forward Kendra Harris is
the only other Laker averaging in double
digits, coming in at 11.0 ppg. She is the
team’s main three-point threat, with 20 in
54 tries.
Junior center Shannon Kulick turned
in an outstanding effort against
Westminster, totalling 17 points and 17
rebounds while blocking 4 shots. She
averages 8.6 ppg. and 6.4 rpg., with a
team-high 12 blocks.
Senior Korie Garrow (5.5 ppg.) and
freshman Jenny Doyle (4.5 ppg.) com­
prise the backcourt. Garrow has handed
out a team-high 68 assists, and also
paces the squad in steals with 30.
Bullock makes ample use of her bench,
with no less than ten players averaging at
least ten minutes per game.

en on guards Jessica Rowe and Meghan
Miller. Rowe, a junior, has responded with
18 points against Clarion and a seasonhigh 28 markers at California(Pa.), both fig­
ures leading the team. That has boosted
