AT A GLANCE

The Crimson Hawks will celebrate Senior Night on Saturday when they host division-leading Edinboro in the KCAC. After clinching a berth in the PSAC tournament on Wednesday, the Crimson Hawks will attempt to lock down the fourth seed and a first round home game as they head into the final two games of the season. Edinboro has won three straight games heading into this weekend, including its second win of the season over Gannon, one of the top-ranked teams in the nation. IUP owns a 7-7 record in the PSAC West while the Fighting Scots are 13-1.

THE SERIES

Edinboro leads the all-time series with a record of 44-34 in head-to-head meetings. The Fighting Scots have been victorious in each of the last seven matchups, including a 66-59 victory in Edinboro back on Jan. 22. IUP is 6-4 at home against Edinboro since the 2005-06 season. 

SHE'S BAAAAACK

Jr. G Lindsay Stamp (Erie, Pa. /Mercyhurst Prep) has picked up right where she left off, averaging 17.0 ppg in just 25.0 mpg in two contests since returning from injury. She's shot 50.0 pct. (12-24) from the floor, including 46.7 pct (7-15) from three-point range after missing the six previous games. She debuted with 18 points off the bench against No. 3 Gannon, knocking down 4 3's, and followed that up with 16 points in just 20 minutes against Mercyhurst. 

SUCCESS AT THE LINE

As a team, the Crimson Hawks have been hot from the foul line over the last five games, shooting a combined 70-89 for a 78.7 FT%. Among those standing out during that stretch are Sr. G Talen Watson (Odenton, MD/Arundel) (19-20, 95.0 pct), Jr. G Leslie Stapleton (Indiana, Pa. /Indiana) (18-19, 94.7 pct), and Jr. G Amy Fairman (Creekside, Pa. /Marion Center) (10-10). 

RAINING THREES

IUP is nearing a school record for 3-pointers in a season, just 7 shy of the mark of 184 with at least three games left in the season. The Crimson Hawks lead the PSAC and are 5th in Division II with a 39.2 3FG% on the year, which would also break a program record. IUP boasts three players who rank in the top six in the PSAC in 3FG% and the top 11 in 3FGs made per game. 

SENIOR NIGHT

In addition to Watson, IUP will also honor Sr. F Melanie Todd (Springfield, VA/West Springfield) and Sr. G Jessica Wallace (Vanderhoof, BC/Nechako Valley Secondary) prior to their final home regular season game. All transfers prior to the 2011-12 season, these three have helped lead the Crimson Hawks to a 62-24 overall record, three conference tournament berths and two appearances in the NCAA Atlantic Region semifinals.
