It was a frustrating trip to Washington County for the IUP basketball teams, which both lost close games to Cal U. Jack Benedict has the recap. (IUP women lost 61-60. Men lost, 75-68.)
Women’s coach Craig Carey was disappointed in the effort last night, but hopes his team learns from the loss.
Men’s coach Joe Lombardi is looking for a win Saturday over Clarion to send his team into the PSAC playoffs on a positive note.
The first Atlantic Region numerical rankings have the IUP women at number 5. They were issued before last night’s loss. Gannon is number one, followed by Fairmont State, Fayetteville State, and Lock Haven, then IUP, Cal U, West Chester, Virginia State, Edinboro, and Charleston.
The regular season comes to a close with the doubleheader Saturday against Clarion at the KCAC, starting with the women’s game at 1 o’clock.
