CLARION, Pa. – Traveling to IUP for a 5:30 p.m. game Wednesday, the Clarion University women's basketball season will come to a close.
 
The game can be heard locally on 91.7 FM, WCUC and on the internet here. Live stats are available here.
 
Clarion (2-24 overall, 1-20 PSAC West) is coming off a tough 77-71 overtime loss to Slippery Rock Sunday despite 26 points, 10 rebounds and seven steals from Tania Holmes and 22 points and eight rebounds from Delrika Jones-Carey.
 
IUP (23-2, 19-2) has won five in a row including an 88-56 win over Pitt-Johnstown Saturday, and a win or a California (Pa.) loss to Slippery Rock would give the Crimson Hawks the PSAC West title. But a loss and a Cal win would give Cal the PSAC West championship.
 
Holmes has been Clarion's go-to player most of the season. The junior guard ranks fourth in the PSAC in scoring (15.5 ppg), fifth in steals (2.3 spg), 22^nd in assists (2.7 apg) and 34^th in rebounding (5.0 rpg) while making 2.2 3-pointers a game, the third-best mark in the conference after hitting just nine 3-pointers all of last year. She also is sixth in the PSAC in 3-point shooting percentage at 32.7 percent. Holmes has been at her best in the second-half of the season averaging 18 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.7 steals per game since Jan. 10.
 
Jones-Carey has also had a very nice season for Clarion recording seven double-doubles on the year, the sixth most by a sophomore in school history while averaging 12.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. She ranks 23^rd in the PSAC in scoring and 10^th in rebounding.
 
IUP is led by the PSAC's leading scorer, Lindsay Stamp, who is averaging 20.1 ppg. Ashley Stoner is 13^th in the conference in scoring at 13.7 ppg, while Leslie Stapleton adds 9.8 ppg and Marita Mathe 9.2 ppg.
