After suffering a tough road loss
to rival Washington & Jefferson,
the women's basketball team
bounced back strong with two big
wins, and tLvir first ever Behrend
Winter Classic tournament
championship to move their record
ahead to 5-1.
The Lady Hoopsters defeated
Cazenovia 79-30 in the first round
of the tournament, advancing
themselves into the championship
where they took down Wesley
College by a score of 69-47.
The first round of the tournament
against Cazenovia was a well
balanced attack, as nearly every
member of the Behrend squad shot
their way into the scoring column.
Maria Madigan had a big day
withl3 points, 10 rebounds and 2
steals.
Also contributing to the win
were Emily Marini and Meg
Supernovich with 10 points each,
while also pulling down 9 and 10
rebounds apiece.
Angie Georg helped out off the
bench with 9 points and 2 steals.
The Lady Lions used a big first
half in the championship game
against Wesley College, shooting
50% from the field and 38% from
three-point territory to build a 13
point lead and provide a nice
cushion for the second half.
"I don't think Wesley took us
seriously," said senior captain
Emily Marini. "We came out and
took advantage," she added.
Although the Lions second half
numbers were not as impressive as
the first, Behrend proved too much
as the posted a 34-25 second half
advantage, winning the game by a
score of 69-47.
Coming through big in the
championship game were both
Emily Marini and Nikki Schultz
with 16 points apiece, while
combining to pull down nearly half
of the teams 41 rebounds.
Marini also came up big
defensively with 4 steals and
passed the ball for a team high 7
assists
Carrie Nestor chipped in with 11
points and 2 steals, while Tiffany
Buck and Kim Moses scored 9
points and pulled down 4 rebounds
apiece.
Earlier in the week, the Lady
Hoopsters took a hard loss on the
road to rival Washington &
Jefferson by a score of 72-41.
"We didn't come to play," said
Emily Marini. "They are a very
beatable team," she added.
Nevertheless, Emily Marini
seemed to be one of the few Lady
Lions who did come to play, as she
paced the team with 7 points, 8
rebounds, and 3 steals.
Tiffany Buck also found a small
piece of the action coming through
with 4 points, 6 rebounds, and 3

Men's basketball team
uses hot shooting to beat
Alfred, 78-69
It was cold and dreary outside of
Erie Hall. but that didn't effect the
shooting of the men's basketball
team. Led by senior Steve Hout's
eight of eleven performance the
Lions shot a torrid 62% against
Alfred University.
Hot shooting and a quick start
helped Behrend jump out to a
twenty point lead that they would
not relinquish.
"We came out with a lot of energy and shot
the ball really well."
-Steve Hout
starting center
"We came out with a lot of
energy and shot the ball really
well," said Hout.
Junior Brian Emick sparked the
Lions by draining two three-point
field goals during the early going.
Defensive energy also enabled
Behrend to gain the early
advantage.
At the midway point of the first
half the Lions had held Alfred to
just nine points. That's when
Alfred star guard Devon Downing
took the offense into his own
hands.
The sophomore began sinking a
variety of fade-away jumpers over

Behrend defenders that helped cut
into the Lions lead.
Despite Downing's shooting
Alfred still needed a running three
point field goal from Brendan
Alberto at the buzzer to trail 45-
24 at the half.
Behrend shot 63% during the
first half while holding Alfred to
just 35% over the first twenty
minutes. The Lions also sank all
nine of their free throws.
Alfred came out in the second
half with a variety of trapping press
defenses that caused Behrend
some trouble. A series of turnovers
and c vpectacular alley-oop dunk
by Downing took the momentum
away from the Lions.
"We got a little sloppy in the
second half but we made plays
when we had to and held on for
the win," said junior Matt Plizga.
Alfred cut the Behrend lead from
21 points at the half to ten with
nearly seven minutes left to play
and looked to be threatening to run
away with the game.
Junior Jason Paloskey then found

momentum hack to the Lions side.
Then Behrend settled down and
began getting to the foul !inc.
Alfred's Stephen Filosa tried to
bring his team hack with four
three-pointers late in the game but
the Lions were able to seal the win
at the foul line, sinking seven of
nine foul shots down the stretch.
Behrend took only twelve shots,
making seven, in the second half
but continuously got to the foul
line, draining 19 out of 28 foul
shots in the half.
Alfred's inability to make foul
shots also hindered the team's
comeback. They made just eight
of their 22 foul shots for the game
(36%).
Hout led four Behrend players in
double figures with 21 points while
Andy Lawrence added 18. Emick
contributed 14 points while
Paloskey and Brock Bovaird
chipped in with 12 and 11 points
The Lions also out-rebounded
Alfred with Hout and Emick
grabbing 21 of Behrend's 36
rebounds. Paul Valentine led
Alfred with 5 rebounds.
Downing and Filosa led Alfred
in scoring with 18 points apiece.
Chris Downing also added eleven
in a losing effort.
The win gave Behrend a 3-1
record and got them back on the
winning track after last Tuesday's
loss at Thiel.
The Lions will return to action
this Saturday when they look to
avenge their loss to Thiel. Tip-off
will he at 3:00 pm.
