The Penn State - Behrend women's
basketball team jumped back on track
this week, as they scored a big come
from behind victory on the road
against Allegheny, while also pound
ing Lake Erie at home.
The two wins improve the Lady
Lions record to 16 -6, while moving
their AMCC mark to 6 - 2.
The Lady Lions are looking sharp
as they enter the final week of their
regular season, with a home game
Saturday against Pitt - Greensburg
and road contest Monday against Pitt
- Bradford.
In order for the Lions to host the
AMCC championship, they must win
their final two games. Otherwise, they
will be forced to travel away for the
AMCC tournament.
The week stated out with a 56 - 47
victory against Allegheny.
"It was a very big comeback win
for us," said head coach Roz Fornari.
"Carrie Nestor kept us in it all game
long, and Kim Moses came up with

big steals at the end," said Fornari.
The Lady Lions greatly improved
their shooting this time around as they
shot 44% from the field for the game,
while shooting an impressive 52% in
the second half.
The Lions pressure defense was
again in effect, as they held Allegh
eny to 31% shooting for the game and

only 25% in the second half.
Maybe the biggest turning point of
the game occurred when junior guard
Maria Madigan buried a clutch three
pointer in the second half, to put Be
hrend ahead of Allegheny for the for
the first time all game. From that
point on, the Lions never again lost
the lead.
"Maria Madigan is clutch," said
teammate Kim Moses.
"We took the lead and never looked

Senior Emily Marini is one key rea
son for the Penn State-Behrend
women's basketball team's success
this season, and is also this week's
Housing and Food Services Athlete
of the Week.
The talented 5' 6" forward has been
one of the team's leaders all season,
helping to lead them to a 15-6 overall
record, and a 6-2 record in the AMCC.
Marini came up big in both of
Behrend's games this week. In their
53-42 loss to Grove City a week ago,
she netted eleven points, also pulling
down eleven rebounds.
On the road against Allegheny Col
lege three days later, Emily again had
a productive day, scoring ten points
to help Behrend to a 56-47 victory
over the Gators.
"We actually evolved our offense
around Emily in the last ten minutes
of that game," said head coach
Rosalyn Fornari about the Allegheny
game. "Emily always comes up big
for us," she added. "When she's on,
she's tough to stop."
Teammate Carrie Nestor said, "I
really admire Emily for all her years
of hard work. She's a great athlete,
and a great leader to our team."
An Erie native, Emily attended
Mercyhurst Prep, where she played
both basketball and tennis.
Emily, a BLASC major, is in her
senior year here at Behrend. She is
looking forward to next fall, when she
will travel to Italy to study interna
tional business, with a focus on man-
agement
When not on the court or in the
classroom, Emily works at Zurn In

Carrie Nestor came through with
an ESPY winning performance, as

"It's real easy to come out flat when
you're going up against a team that

said Fornari. "Our goal for the game
