EDINBORO, PA – The Edinboro University
women’s basketball team has now lost three of its last four
games after suffering a 68-55 loss at Indiana(Pa.) on Wednesday.
The Fighting Scots entered the game ranked eighth in the East
Region, and fall to 17-7 overall and 5-4 in the PSAC West. IUP,
the ninth-ranked team in the East Region, moves ahead of Edinboro
into second place in the PSAC West with a 6-4 ledger, and the
Indians are 17-8 overall.
Not only did the Fighting Scots lose the game
but they also lost point guard Callie Iorfido (Ambridge,
PA/Ambridge) to injury. The senior went down with four minutes
left in the first half and did not return. Iorfido owns the
Edinboro career record for assists with 627, and ranks fifth
all-time in the PSAC.
The offensive line fell on Kelly Calderone
(Freedom, PA/Ambridge), and while the junior guard was up to
the challenge, she received little support. Calderone had her
second straight 30-point game with a career-high 32 points, making
8 of 19 field goals and 15 of 16 free throws. She also made 15 of
16 free throws at Lock Haven, falling one free throw made shy of
the school record.
However, not one other Fighting Scot scored
more than six points, as combined the rest of the team went 7 of
34 from the floor. Edinboro shot a dismal 28.3 percent from the
floor for the game, including 23.1 percent in the second half,
missing all ten of its three-point attempts. Agnes Michalow
(Krakow, Poland/Krakow #32) and Maria DiVecchio (Erie,
PA/Villa Maria) came in averaging just over 24 points between
them, but finished with eight points and went 2-for-11 from the
floor.
Edinboro held a 33-28 lead at the half, as the
two teams combined for four ties and three lead changes. The Scots
led by as many as seven points in the half at 33-26 with 1:38 to
play on a pair of free throws by Jessi Montie (Erie,
PA/McDowell).
IUP took control of the game early in the
second half. Edinboro scored the first basket of the second half,
but the Indians went on a 9-0 run to take a 37-35 lead. That was
part of a 22-3 run over the first nine minutes of the second half,
as IUP went up 50-38. Edinboro never got closer than eight points
the rest of the way.
The Indians ended the game shooting 40.0
percent from the floor and outrebounding the Fighting Scots,
45-36. With Iorfido out of the game, Edinboro ended up turning the
ball over 20 times.
Edinboro returns to action on Saturday,
February 18, hosting Lock Haven. Tipoff at McComb Fieldhouse is
set for 1:00 p.m.
