appearance. Samantha Reimer (Altoona, PA/Altoona) scored a
game-high 25 points in just 23 minutes. The 5’7”
freshman made 10 of 13 field goals, including her lone three-point

as the two freshmen combined for 37 points.
Rae Sherred (Cambridge Springs,
PA/Cambridge Springs) followed with 14 points, all in the
first half, with Rachel Johnson (Oreland, PA/Springfield) also
scoring 14 points, a career-high. Johnson made 5 of 7 field goals
and 4 of 4 free throws. Kelly Calderone (Freedom, PA/Ambridge)
ended the day with 13 points, boosting her career total to
960. After setting a school record a year ago when she shot 87.9
percent from the line, Calderone was a perfect 8-for-8 from the
line. She added 7 assists and 4 steals.
Edinboro trailed by as many as nine points
early in the game, the last time at 20-11 with 13:00 minutes
remaining. The Fighting Scots went on a 12-0 run and never trailed
the rest of the way. Calderone (five points), Reimer (four), and
Sherred (three) combined for all 12 points.
The Fighting Scots eventually built the lead to
nine at the half, 41-32. The margin never got closer than seven
points the rest of the game.

made 21 of 24 free throws (87.5 percent). The Fighting Scots were
also guilty of just 11 turnovers while forcing 18.
