INDIANA — Hollidaysburg Area High School graduate Marin Miller is one of the reasons the IUP women’s basketball team is headed to the Elite 8 round of the NCAA Division II women’s basketball tournament.

Miller, a senior guard, hit a 3-point shot with six seconds left in the game last weekend to lead IUP over Winston-Salem State, 65-64. Next Tuesday, IUP will play Holy Name University out of Philadelphia with a shot to go to the Final Four on the line. That game will be played in Pittsburgh.

So far this season for the 29-3 Crimson Hawks, Miller is averaging 9.4 points-per game. In the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference this season, she was top 20 in three-point shooting and assists.

SFU player honored

LORETTO — Korrin Burns, a member of the Saint Francis women’s volleyball team, was named the Northeast Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year.

Saint Francis is the only NEC school to earn at least one honor every year.

Burns earned the distinction for the second-straight year, and it’s the fourth time the women’s volleyball program has received the honor after Anne Roosevelt (2006) and Elise Dumouchelle (2019) previously earned the honor.

Burn, who had a 3.72 cumulative grade-point average through the fall semester, was named to the NEC Academic Honor Roll for the fourth-straight campaign and earned a spot on the NEC Commissioner’s Honor Roll (3.75 GPA or above) for three seasons to go along with her scholar athlete award in the league for the last two years.

Burns shattered the single-season program record for kills by 102 kills and finished with 588 kills, and she finished her career with 1,453 kills to break the career record by 28 kills.
