Life after death is exactly what the
Lady Lions now face after losing in
the AMCC championship game last
weekend to Pitt - Bradford by a score
of 55 - 53.
The Lions flow have a second
chance in their post - season title quest
as they were just recently invited to
participate in the ECAC tournament
this coming weekend in Wilkes -
Barre, PA, at host school Kings Col
lege.
Only four teams from the region are
invited to participate, as the Lady Li
ons made the cut with their 19 - 8 over
all record and second place finish in
the AMCC tournament.
"The ECAC hid is a great gift to our
seniors, coaches, and the rest our
team," said head coach Roz Fornari.
"Anything past your regular season is
great," added Fornari.
"I'm glad I'm getting this opportu
nity my senior year," said senior cap
tain Nikki Schultz. "It's a nice way to
go out," added Schultz.
Under the guidance of head coach
Roz Fornari, who sports an excellent
83 - 48 record in five seasons at Be
hrend, the Lady Lions will he making
their fifth post-season appearance in
the last seven years.
"We have had a very good season.
We're looking forward to the ECAC
tournament opportunity and hoping to
end the year with a victory." said
Fornari.
Behrend (19 -8) will enter the tour
nament as the number four seed, go
ing up against number one seed and
host school Kings College (21 - 50).
The winner will then face the win
ner of the second seed Pitt - Bradford
(17 -9) and third seeded Grove City
(16 -8) in the championship on Sun
day.
In the championship game last Sun
day against Pitt - Bradford, the Lady
Lions held the Panthers to just 14 first
half points, to end the half with a 22 -
14 lead.
4 " In the second half, however, the ef
fects of playing without senior captain
Emily Marini (pulled calf) for the
whole game, with the exception of the
last five minutes, and maybe tired legs
from playing three games in four days,
seemed to shine through as the Lady
Lions were outscored 41 - 31 in just
the second period.
"We played great defense all tour
nament, except for parts of the Pitt -
Bradford game. Particularly the sec
ond half," said senior captain Emily
Marini.
"It made a big difference to not have
our go to person in the game (refer
ring to Emily Marini). She's a warrior,
she came out at the end and gave it
the best she could," said Fornari.
"Overall, the whole team just didn't
finish. We just couldn't seem to catch
any breaks in the second half," added
Fornari.
The Lady Lions were narrowly
outshot from the field in the contest
by a count of 44% (23 - 52), to 41%
(19 - 46).

in 12 points and 4 rebounds in the los

bring home an ECAC title.
