GAME OVERVIEW
• Millersville enters Wednesday's matchup with Indiana (Pa.) after winning consecutive games against PSAC opponents for the first time this season. The Marauders edged out East Stroudsburg 56-53 at home Friday before traveling to Lock Haven Monday and defeating the Bald Eagles 64-46.
• Jade Farquhar has made her presence felt in the Millersville lineup recently, leading the Marauders in scoring the past two games with 17 and 11 points respectively. The 17 points against East Stroudsburg was a career high which included two big three-pointers that helped lift Millersville to victory.
• Celeste Robinson has kept up the hot hand since her 28 point outburst against Mansfield, recording 15 and 11 points in the last two games. Aunjel Van Brakle has been a force on the boards, combining for 19 rebounds against Mansfield and Lock Haven.  
• Millersville has had the advantage on the glass in the past two contests, outrebounding opponents 90-66 and have turned those rebounds into 31 second-chance points compared to allowing a combined total of 13 points. 
• The Marauders have been steady from the field, shooting around 40 percent overall and scoring 74 points in the paint while allowing just 36 to their PSAC foes.

SCOUTING THE CRIMSON HAWKS
• Indiana (Pa.), who is ranked seventh in the Atlantic Region, has dominated opponents in the PSAC this year, going undefeated (9-0) while posting an 11-2 record overall. The Crimson Hawks have not lost a game since November 12 when UVA-Wise topped them 54-51. 
• On Monday, IUP handed Mercyhurst their first loss of the season, beating Slippery Rock 64-54. The Crimson Hawks had six players score eight or more points including Lauren Wolosik who dropped 17. 
• Megan Smith currently leads the team in scoring with just over 15 points per game while Carolyn Appleby and Wolosik are averaging 13.2 and 11.8 points per game. Smith is also averaging a team-high 5.8 rebounds per game and is tied for most blocks on the team with 20. Smith and her teammate Brittany Robinson rank fourth and fifth respectively in blocks per game (1.5), while the Marauders own Aunjel Van Brakle is tied for second with 1.6 blocks per game. 
• IUP takes care of the ball, ranking third in the PSAC  in turnover margin. Much of the Crimson Hawks' success is aided by Halle Denman who leads the conference 38 assists and just 11 turnovers. 
• Averaging nearly 20 points more than their opponents, IUP has the first-ranked scoring defense and is ranked second in scoring margin in the PSAC. 

THE LAST MEETING (January 6, 2016: IUP 56, MU 45)
• Both sides traded buckets in the first half, but a 14-5 third quarter from the Crimson Hawks was too much for Millersville to overcome as IUP held off Millersville to win at home. 
• Celeste Robinson had 19 points in the game, but IUP held the rest of the team in check, not allowing another Marauder to reach double-digit scoring. The senior-led lineup for the Marauders combined for just 21 points in the loss.
• The Crimson Hawks had three players score 13 or more points including Carolyn Appleby and Megan Smith. Appleby, who was then a freshman, led IUP with 15 points while Smith chipped in 13 for the Hawks.
