INDIANAPOLIS It stood out from the
rest of the crowd, a little white, rectangu
lar sign with a simple message "Go
Tiffany, #3l, shoot the three."
The homemade posterboard sign con
structed in a study hall period was intend
ed for Tiffany Longworth, the Kokomo,
Ind., native turned college star. At least
that is how 14-year-old Melissa Liffick and
her mother Sally perceive Longworth.
Melissa read that the Big Ten women's
basketball tournament was to be held in
Indianapolis and insisted on going. The two
traveled 20 miles north from their White
land, Ind., home to reach their destination
of Hinkle Fieldhouse.

They came as did the other 22,866 fans
who attended the tournament games. But
Melissa and Sally Liffick came with hopes
of seeing just one player in particular
Longworth, a junior guard on the Penn
State women's basketball team.
"I thought we'd embarrass her with the
sign," Sally said, adding that when she and
Melissa saw Longworth warming up for
the Lady Lion quarterfinal game with
Northwestern, the two yelled for her. "She
didn't act like she was embarrassed. She
looked up and nodded."
Longworth did not play like she was
embarrassed either.
She tossed in four three-pointers for 12
points against Northwestern in the 85-70

crossed midcourt and set herself.
She folded her arms across her
chest, planted her feet and stood
firm. Tiffany Glosson never knew
what hit her.
The Ohio State center, with her
head turned in the ball's direction
elsewhere, ran directly into Cal
houn as Penn State broke the Buck
eye press. Glosson laid on the court
for several minutes. Play was
stopped, and the sophomore would
not return.
Boos rang down from the Ohio
State contingent, despite it being a
clean pick.
That physical play just typified
the Lady Lions' run through the
Big Ten women's basketball tour
nament at Hinkle Fieldhouse last
weekend. The No. 2 seeded Lady
Lions mauled their opponents with
a bruising style of ball in three
rounds of play en route to their 71-
69 win over Purdue in the tourna
ment championship.
"A physical game is something
we didn't want," Northwestern
coach Don Perrelli said after his
Wildcats lost to Penn State, 85-70,
State in Penn State's 84-70 semifinal win
The championship game, though, was a
different story. Foul trouble plagued Long
worth in the first half, forcing her to sit
out and really never get on track offen
sively. Longworth did rebound in the sec
ond half, but finished with just two points
after playing all 20 minutes after the
break.
It didn't really matter, though. Melissa
Liffick was watching her friend and her
idol.
"When I'm at school and we're asked
who our role model is," the Whiteland
Community High School freshman said, "I
always say she's my role model."
That might not be such a strong senti
ment had it not been for last summer.
Melissa knew of Longworth in high school

play suits Mack just fine
in the quarterfinals last Saturday.
"We don't play well when hands are
all over us."
But that is what Penn State's
opponents had to deal with all tour
nament long. The Lady Lions used
a suffocating defense, switching
from man-to-man to zone, to grab
their second straight tournament
title. And Katina Mack was the cat
alyst.
The senior guard from Monticel
lo, N.Y., plays bigger than her list
ed 5-foot-8 with the mentality of an
inside linebacker. And she proved
it to the Big Ten again.
Mack scored 23 points on an
assortment of jump shots and dri
ving layups to lead the Lady Lions
past Northwestern. The following
night she tallied 20 more while
holding Ohio State leading scorer
Katie Smith to a paltry 16 points on
5-of-15 shooting in the Lady
Lions' 84-70 semifinal win over
Ohio State.
"I know my role on the team,"
Mack said. "If I'm best at penetrat
ing then that's what I'm going to
do."
Nobody could stop her, except
her own teammates. Mack caught a

championship game with Purdue.
Mack walked off the court with a
towel pinching her nose after
spending several minutes on the
floor. Her nose was originally
thought to be broke and she was
later taken to a nearby hospital for
tests. They showed to be negative,
but her nose was severely bruised.
Her tournament was over.
It took a combination of players
to relieve her.
Tina Nicholson tied a career high
with 22 points while Jamie Parsons
and Tiffany Longworth picked up
the slack on the defensive end to
help Penn State past Purdue last
Monday night.
"Putting Parsons in there (to
start) really spread it out," Purdue
coach Lin Dunn said, adding that it
gave Penn State another legitimate
three-point threat. "We were going
to help off Mack."
Without Mack, Parsons was
forced to start, playing 38 minutes.
She matched up with Boilermaker
Jannon Roland, despite giving
away five inches, for part of the
game and switched with Nicholson
on pressuring the ball upcourt.
Longworth, meanwhile, also flew
to the ball but was plagued by foul
trouble throughout.
star struck Indiana
from reading about her in the newspapers,
but they never met until the their teams
played against each other during a sum
mer camp in Greencastle, Ind.
Longworth was a counselor for the
incoming freshmen at the four-day Play
er's Choice Basketball Camp. She coached
and when Melissa's team played Long
worth's, the two talked. One thing still
stands out in Melissa's mind.
"I remember asking her what happened
to her long hair," she said, noticing that
Longworth cut her hair since her high
school days. "She said, 'Did it look better
the other way?' "
Longworth's success and unselfishness
has given Melissa the hope that maybe one
day she too can compete at a Division I
basketball school like Penn State. Sally

The Daily Collegian Monday, March 11, 1996-
said after Melissa saw that it could be
accomplished, Melissa told her she wished
she had worked harder at her game, even
though she is just a freshman.
Melissa met the entire Lady Lion team
and turned to her mother later and said
she hopes someday that could be her, in
Longworth's position.
"It makes you believe it's possible,"
Sally said.
It is. Longworth is living proof of that.
And she not only shoulders the burden of
the role model label many athletes shy
away from, she enjoys it.
"I think it's neat," Longworth said. "I
looked up to college players too. I think it's
nice she's got a role model to look up to."
Maybe because role models are so hard
to find.

penetrating then that's
what I'm going to do."
Katina Mack
Lady Lion guard
"I thought we played very good
defense the entire tournament,"
Lady Lion coach Rene Portland
said. "Jamie is a great defensive
player for us. Tiffany played like
fly paper the first half. I thought it
was great defense on the ball."
The two did little things that
don't show up on stat sheets. They
pressured and constantly hung
around their assignments. Sure,
they scored, but their forte' was
defense. Longworth tallied nine
defensive caroms and two steals.
The Lady Lion defensive effort
came full circle in the opening min
utes of the second half against Ohio
State. The Buckeye turned the ball
over five times in six minutes,
enabling Penn State to increase a
44-35 halftime lead into a 55-37
blowout.
