Over the past two seasons, the Penn State women's basketball team, like many other collegiate squads, consistently im proved its offense, its defense and its per sonnel. But, there's one thing that still haunts the cagewonaen Edinboro. Last year, the norther Pa. squad knocked the Lady Lions out of the Pitt Invitational Tournament. Yesterday,.the Lady Scots staged a repeat performance as they kayoed Penn State from this year's Pitt Invite, 54-48. In last year's pre-holiday event, the women came back 'across the mountains with two losses and a lot of experience. Things do change in the course of a year, though; and this time the . Lady Lions have a plus to add ta tournament experience— a big win over perennially strong Slippery Rock. The Penn State-Slippery. Rock contest kicked-off the . tournament with what some predicted to be the best match-up of the weekend. No Fireworks exploded when the contest ended, and the game could not be called spectacular by any means, but it was h big one, at least from the viewpoint of the Penn Slate bench. Freshman guard Nancy Kuhl led the scoring for the Lady Lions with 16 points as they trounced the Rock, 65-46. Sophomore guard Hallie Bunk and center Mag Stritt matter each contributed , 14 tallies to the winning cause. Offensively, the women hit on 29 of 75 at tempts, but it was the defense which stood out in the contest, as it would again do in the two games to follow. The Lady Lions- cleared the boards 61 times, including 17 each by forward Loretta Adams and Strittmatter.

Offensively, Penn State dlZver got going, as the cagers shot only 24 per cent from the " field. It was the defensive effort which kept the game within reach. "We wanted them to take the bad shots, and they did," Penn State head coach Pat Meiser said. "We just couldn't get our of fense going. "I think people were a little hassled by the quickness (of Cheyney's defense) around the top," she added. "It took us until the second half to get our break going, and once we got it going, we couldn't score off of it." High scorer in the contest was Strittmatter with 16 points, followed by Bunk, 14, and Kuhl, 12. Penn State outrebounded the Wolves, 36-27. As a result of the loss to Cheyney, the Lady Lions dropped into the consolation bracket, where they vvere paired off against Edinboro. Once again, defense took control of the game, as each team failed to mount an of feniive attack. Penn State utilized the zone defense to keep Edinboro on the outside, while the Lady Scots thwarted a Lady Lion' attack with a man-to-man setup. • •..t s "Initiallwe were not sticking to our of fensive patlErn. When'we work in practice against our own players, it's not as aggressive a man-to-man," Meiser said.
