Edinboro, Pennsylvania -- Edinboro's 70-56 victory over Indiana (Pa.) Saturday night at McComb Fieldhouse was a statement made by not only the Lady Scots, but also the entire PSAC West.
Shaw's tight 64-59 win over a youthful Gannon club showed that the senior-laden Bears of the CIAA are worthy of claiming a second straight NCAA Elite Eight berth and remain a national title contender.
The Atlantic Regional was perfectly seeded, as top-seed Edinboro (30-1), ranked No. 3 in Division II, meets defending region champion and second-seeded Shaw (25-6) today at 7 p.m. in the title game.
The contest is a rematch of the 2011 first round at Edinboro, with the vastly underrated eighth-seeded Bears crushing the Scots 72-51. Shaw went on to win the regional and advance to the semifinals before falling to Clayton State (Ga.), the 2010-11 champions.
"We're excited because we were left with a bitter taste last year,'' Edinboro coach Stan Swank said. "We're anxious to play them again.''
