GAME OVERVIEW
• Millersville enters the final day of the regular season with an opportunity to score a first round bye in the PSAC Tournament, but it needs a little help from Bloomsburg. To clinch the No. 2 seed, the Marauders must defeat East Stroudsburg and Bloomsburg must win a road game at Shippensburg. Any other scenario has the Marauders hosting a first round game on Saturday at 1 p.m. against either Lock Haven or Kutztown.
• Millersville and East Stroudsburg met one month ago with the Marauders winning 78-72 behind four players in double figures. Celeste Robinson led the way with 18 points. Millersville owns a 30-7 record against East Stroudsburg in home games but has lost two in a row to the Warriors in Pucillo Gymnasium.
• Robinson now ranks 18th in the PSAC in scoring, 24th in rebounding and seventh in steals. Her .520 field goal percentage is second in the league. Robinson has connected on over 50 percent of her shots in each of her three seasons as a Marauder and is one steal shy of three consecutive seasons with 50 steals. She is one of only two players in Millersville history with a career field goal percentage over 50 percent. Robinson is a truly versatile player, and when projecting her career averages over her senior season, Robinson will be one of only two players in Millersville history with 1,000 points, 600 rebounds, 300 assists and 200 steals.  Robinson currently leads the team with 20 double-digit scoring performances and has led the team in steals 13 times, in assists 12 times, blocks 11 times and in rebounding five times.
• Millersville owns the top scoring defense and top field goal percentage defense in the PSAC. The Marauders most recently held Mansfield to 29 percent shooting and 45 points. When Shippensburg was the No. 1-ranked offense, the Marauders held Ship to its lowest field goal percentage and lowest scoring total of the season. West Chester took over the No. 1 offense in the league and Millersville promptly held it to its lowest shooting percentage since the season opener. Millersville has held 15 teams to fewer than 60 points and eight consecutive opponents have failed to shoot higher than 40 percent. Millersville is second in 3-point field goal percentage defense, trailing first place by just .002. West Chester managed to sink 12 threes against the Marauders on Saturday, but 16 Marauder opponents have been held to five threes or fewer.
• Millersville's eight-game winning streak is the longest current streak in the conference. During that stretch, Millersville has outscored its opponents 70.8-57.9 and is shooting 45.0 percent from the field while holding teams to 34.0 percent shooting. The Marauders are also plus-5.4 in rebounding margin in that span.
• Quick starts are key for Millersville, which is 17-0 when leading at halftime. The Marauders have not trailed at halftime and won a game this season. During the eight-game winning streak, Millersville has held an average halftime lead of 10.5 points. In the first half of home games, Millersville is outscoring opponents by 7.0.

SCOUTING THE OPPONENT
• East Stroudsburg is playing for a home game in the opening round of the PSAC Tournament. Currently positioned as the No. 4 seed, the Warriors have a one-game advantage over Bloomsburg, which is the team Millersville is routing for Wednesday night. While Millersville wants a win from Bloomsburg over Shippensburg, East Stroudsburg wants a Bloomsburg loss and a win over the Marauders to seal the No. 4 seed. ESU is in the postseason for the fourth consecutive season.
• The Warriors are 5-6 away from Koehler Fieldhouse. The team is led by Allison Howard who is the leader in points (15.8) and rebounds (7.9).  She ranks 10th int he PSAC in scoring and 11th in rebounding. East Stroudsburg ranks 15th in field goal percentage but is third in field goal percentage defense. The team also blocks a league-high 5.3 shots per game.
