EDINBORO'S WIN OVER THE NATIONALLY
RANKED GANNON WOMEN'S BASKETBALL TEAM GOES A LONG WAY. BUT FOR THE LADY FIGHTING SCOTS- THE VICTORY
MEANT MUCH MORE THAN A *W* IN THE STANDINGS.
WHEN EDINBORO SENIOR CENTER SAMANTHA BLAZETIC LAUNCHED A THREE POINTER WITH 36 SECONDS TO GO. . .HER TEAM HAD ALREADY LOCKED UP A WIN OVER RIVAL GANNON.
BUT THAT SHOT SENT THE HOME CROWD INTO A FRENZY. A CROWD THAT INCLUDED BLAZETIC'S DAD- TOM. . .WHO ONLY FOUR DAYS PRIOR NEEDED AN EMERGENCY PROCEDURE FOR A BLOCKAGE IN HIS HEART.
AN EMOTIONAL NIGHT FOR A TEAM THAT HAD IT ALL A YEAR AGO. AND FOR BLAZETIC- A PLAYER WHO HAS BEEN THROUGH A LOT EVEN BEFORE HER FATHER'S SCARE LAST WEEKEND.
