Marin Miller

The IUP women’s basketball team is participating in the NCAA Division II quarterfinals (Elite Eight) beginning tonight against Holy Family.

The game is scheduled for a 7 p.m. tipoff at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse at Duquesne University.

Hollidaysburg’s Marin Miller made a go-ahead 3-pointer with six seconds remaining to give IUP a 65-64 victory over Winston-Salem State last Monday night in the NCAA Division II Atlantic Regional final at the Kovalchick Convention & Athletic Complex.

Miller, a senior, started all 32 games for IUP (29-3) and averaged 9.4 points per game.

Chestnut Ridge graduate Bella Bosch is also a starter for IUP, and she averaged 8.3 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.

Bella Vent, a 2025 Hollidaysburg graduate and an IUP freshman, appeared in 14 games and averaged 2.2 points.

On the men’s side, which is also being held at Duquesne, Nova Southeastern of Florida enters the field as the top seed and will play Black Hills State University at 6 on Wednesday.

Bishop Guilfoyle Academy alum Trevor Rehm is a freshman forward at Nova. He redshirted this season while recovering from an injury.

Nova, the 2023 national champion, has won the South Region Tournament five straight years and is riding a 105-game home winning streak.
