Sophomore point guard Carrie Nestor looks to dish off for one of her team leading assists
against Frostburg State.
On a positive note, the Lady Lions
were vaulted into sole possession of
first place in the AMCC on Saturday,
as Frostburg State was upset by Pitt -
Bradford.
The loss by Frostburg puts Behrend
one game ahead, with only five
AMCC games left. If the Lady Lions
are to capture the regular season title,
Nestor's leadership
earns her ATW
Sophomore Carrie Nestor's leader
ship at the point guard position this
year is one of the big reasons the Lady
Lions are enjoying one of their most
successful basketball seasons in Penn
State - Behrend history.
While running the show on offense,
and leading the team in assists, Nestor
has also come up big on the other side
of the ball, as one of the team leaders
in steals and rebounds.
On the scoring end, Nestor has been
solid game in and out, often finding
key moments of a game when a score
is needed to take control and use her
"ankle breaking" crossover to drive
to the hole for a bucket.
Nestor is a fourth semester psychol
ogy major, from McDowell High
School in Erie, PA.
At McDowell High School, Nestor
was a mainstay on the varsity basket
ball and soccer teams.
In basketball, Nestor finished up in
the all - time record books for assists,
steals, and scoring for McDowell.
As a soccer player, Nestor was one
of the cornerstones of a program that
was ranked #1 in the country her se
nior year, while also helping to lead
her team to the Pennsylvania state
championship game in 1996.
Carrie recently finished up a great
season for the Behrend women's soc
cer team, where she has started since
her freshmen year.
In the overtime loss to Buffalo State
earlier in the week, Nestor dished out
a team high 6 assists, plus a team high
7 rebounds, while also chipping in 6
points.
Nestor and the rest of the Lady Li
ons are at an impressive 13 - 4 over
all record, while also in first place in
the AMCC with a 5 -I mark.
The Lady Lions were in action last
night against AMCC foe Laßoche.
Details of the game will be in next
week's Collegian.

"Of the seven games we have left,
our five conference games are the
most important," said head coach
Fornari.
"We have to fight to stay on top,"
added Fornari.
