In about 45 mintutes the Point Park Lady Pioneers will put their win streak, and my mustache, on the line on Senior Night against the Carlow Celtics. In their previous matchup this season PPU was able to go to Carlow (Oakland Catholic HS) and get a win 65-44. This was a game where the Pioneers really stepped on the gas and ran away with one. But reader beware, this Carlow team is much improved not only from last year, but from earlier this season. They have proved a lot of people wrong by going out there and competing on a nightly basis and give teams headaches.
Keys to the Game:
PPU: 1. Get the bigs work: It is that time of the year when the forwards will wear down opposing teams, the Pioneers bigs have been inconsistant this year, and to get a
big win tonight one of them will need to produce.
2. Focus: Its senior night tonight so emotions will run high, everyone needs to keep their heads and focus on the matter at hand, keeping the winsteak and keeping my mustache growing.
Carlow:
1. Burn em down: Catch fire from the outside if you want to get a win tonight Carlow, you are gonna need a lot of points.
2. Rebound: You must keep second chances to a minimum if you want to beat the Pioneers.
Stat of the Night: Point Park has won three straight over the Celtics.
