The IUP women’s basketball team defeated No.2-seed Glenville State, 88-68, Saturday to advance to the 2018 NCAA Division II Atlantic Region Championship game on Monday.
IUP held a Glenville State team to a season-low 68 points and 29.2 field goal percentage. The Pioneers (31-2) came into the game averaging more than 98 points per game, but made 10-of-34 from beyond the arc and turned the ball over 19 times.
IUP senior forward Megan Smith scored 23 points and junior guard Carolyn Appleby added 21 points, despite a hamstring injury.
The Crimson Hawks are now 28-3 overall, breaking the program record for wins in a season. IUP will take on Bowie State in the championship game, and this will be IUP’s first regional title game since the 2007 East Region Championship in Glenville, W.Va.
