Women's Hoops Takes On Rutgers Wednesday
12/7/1999
PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh - Rutgers contest will mark the 14th meeting ever between the two schools in a series that dates back to the 1977-78 season.
The Scarlet Knights hold an 11-2 advantage in the series, including a perfect 6-0 mark on their home court. The Panthers' lone wins came at Fitzgerald Field House in a 75-68 decision, Feb. 26, 1983, and a 66-56 win on Jan. 6, 1998. The two teams also met on a neutral site in the EAIAW Regional Championships, March 7, 1981. Rutgers came away with the 91-80 victory.
The Panthers and Scarlet Knights faced off only once last season a 64-54 Rutgers win Jan. 3.
Rutgers largest margin of victory in the series is 39 points, and was in a 96-57 win Feb. 23, 1980. Pittsburgh's largest margin of victory is 10 points in a 66-56 decision in 1998.
Traci Waites is in her second season as head coach at Pittsburgh where she has compiled a 12-20 overall record.
During her debut last season, Waites sent the Panthers on a dramatic 4-0 run to start the year, a feat that had not been accomplished since the 1982-83 season. She additionally led Pittsburgh to eight victories on the year, marking two more than it achieved in all of the prior season.
Waites joined the Panthers after serving four seasons at the University of Arizona as an assistant coach, including the last two as associate head coach. While there, Waites was instrumental in the Wildcats' emergence as a Top 10 program, helping them to three straight 20-win seasons and two NCAA Tournament berths.
Prior to Arizona, Waites was the head coach at Santa Monica Community College in Santa Monica, Calif., from 1993-94 after serving the program as an assistant for three years. During her tenure, Waites' teams finished second in the Western States Conference and qualified for the state playoffs each year.
Waites enjoyed an outstanding collegiate playing career, first at Georgia and then at Long Beach State. She played in the NCAA Tournament each of her four seasons and went to two Final Fours. She holds the distinction of being the only player to appear in the Final Four for two different teams.
Rutgers Head Coach
C. Vivian Stringer is in her fifth season as head coach of the Scarlet Knights. She has compiled a 78-50 mark at Rutgers and a 598-185 career mark in 28 seasons as a head coach.
While at Rutgers, Stringer has achieved back-to-back 20-win seasons and two berths in the NCAA Tournament. Last season, she led her team to a 26-6 overall mark and the NCAA Elite Eight.
Prior to Rutgers, Stringer served as head coach at Iowa for 12 seasons. There, she led the Hawkeyes to the NCAA Tournament nine times and achieved 10 20-win seasons, including nine-straight from 1985-94.
Stringer additionally served as head coach at Cheyney State from 1971-83 and led her squad to the 1982 NCAA Final Four.
Stringer is a three-time national coach of the year honoree, and is the only coach in women's basketball history to take three different teams to the NCAA Tournament.

Road Rules
A key for the Panthers this season will be their ability to bring home victories when they are on the road. Pittsburgh has already doubled its total number of victories from last year in away contests this season. The Panthers are 2-0 with wins over Robert Morris and Cincinnati already under their belt.
The Panthers struggled on the road last season, winning only one contest out of 13. Their only victory came in a 53-46 decision over Wake Forest Dec. 21 in the Oakland Tribune Classic.
A Perfect Mark
Pittsburgh held an undefeated 3-0 record through the month of November with its wins over Lafayette (80-43), Robert Morris (63-45) and Cincinnati (58-55). With their perfect record through the month, the Panthers ranked as one of only two teams in the Big East Conference to boast an undefeated record through November. The other was Connecticut with a 4-0 record.
Second Comings
The Panthers have come out of intermission refocused and on a swift pace in each game this season. In their contests with Robert Morris and Cincinnati, they rallied from a first-half deficit to come away with a victory.
Against Robert Morris, Pittsburgh trailed by only one point, 28-27, but began the second half on an 11-2 run by capitalizing on 10 Colonial turnovers to go on to the eventual win. The Panthers outscored Robert Morris, 36-17, in the second half.
The Panthers had a similar situation at Cincinnati. After trailing 30-27 at intermission, Pittsburgh went on a 12-2 surge through the initial five minutes of the period to take a seven-point advantage.
Putting in the Points
Helping Pittsburgh put together its second half rallies is its ability to score after intermission.
The Panthers have outscored their opponents 193-152 in the second half this season. They are averaging only 29.4 points in the first half, but sinking 38.6 points in the second half.
The scoring surge played a large role in wins over Cincinnati and Robert Morris when the Panthers outscored the Bearcats, 36-17, and the Colonials, 31-25.
Defensive Specialists
So far this season, the Panthers have stuck to their motto of discipline and defense and it has paid off in the won-loss column.
The Panthers have been very strong in defending their opponents shots. They are holding their opponents to just 35.3 percent (101- of-286) shooting from the field and 27.9 percent (24-of-86) from 3-point range, ranking first and fourth in the Big East, respectively.
In contrast, Pittsburgh is shooting 46.6 percent (129-of-277) overall and 36.1 (22-of-61) from behind the arc.
Additionally, the Panthers have not allowed their opponents to shoot above 45 percent from the field in any game this season. The lowest an opponent has shot was Lafayette with 28.8 percent. Ohio recorded the best overall field goal percentage with its 40.4 percent shooting.
Solid on the Boards
The Panthers have strongly established themselves on the boards so far this season, outrebounding each of their opponents. Through the first five games, the Panthers are grabbing 40.2 boards to their opponents 32.6 per game for a plus-7.2 margin, good enough for fourth in the Big East.
Pittsburgh's largest rebounding margin came with a plus-12 advantage (46-34) against Lafayette in the season-opener. Against Robert Morris, the Panthers grabbed 42 rebounds to the Colonials' 34 and at Cincinnati they had 37 to the Bearcats' 32.
The Panthers still managed a plus-seven rebounding margin in their loss to Kent, 39-32. In the first half of the game, Pittsburgh had 24 rebounds to the Golden Flashes' 13.
Stellar Starters
Pittsburgh's starting lineup has performed strongly this year. The Panthers have placed at least two of their starters in double-figures for points or rebounds in every game.
Against Kent on Dec. 1, four of Pittsburgh's starters posted double-digit scoring totals, including Mandy Wittenmyer who had a double-double with 12 rebounds and 10 points. Also in double-digits were Nickeia Morris and Gina Montesano with 14 points apiece, and Monique Toney who had 12 points. In that game, the starting lineup accounted for 50 of the 68 points scored.
Balanced Scoring
The Panthers are benefitting from depth in their lineup this season. Pittsburgh is receiving a solid contribution from its entire lineup, not just the starters. So far, the Panthers' offense has been balanced with seven different players posting double-figure scoring totals in games.
The following is a list of players who have scored in double-figures this year:
| Player | Points | Opponent |
| Monique Toney | 11 | Lafayette |
| 12 | Kent | |
| 14 | Cincinnati | |
| 18 | Robert Morris | |
| Mandy Wittenmyer | 10 | Kent |
| 12 | Lafayette | |
| 14 | Cincinnati | |
| Nickeia Morris | 11 | Lafayette |
| 14 | Kent | |
| Gina Montesano | 14 | Kent |
| Dallas Williams | 11 | Ohio |
| Celeste Barkley | 12 | Ohio |
| Brooke Stewart | 16 | Ohio* |
*Denotes non-starter.
Down the Stretch
The Panthers have remained focused in the final minutes of each game this season and their intensity has proven to be a factor in games versus Cincinnati and Kent.
Trailing by three against Cincinnati with under a minute to go in the game, freshman Laine Selwyn hit a 3-pointer at the 15-second mark to tie the game. Monique Toney came up big just moments later sinking another 3-pointer with five seconds on the clock to win the game, 58-55.
Pittsburgh showed its composure through the wanning minutes of the game against Kent, but the outcome was not as desirable. The Panthers began to rally from a 14-point deficit with 1:50 to go in the game to pull within five with 53 seconds to go on three 3- pointers. Brooke Stewart hit back-to-back treys while Monique Toney hit one of her own. The Panthers, however, could not pull any closer and ultimately fell to Kent.
Freshmen Impact
This season's freshmen have made an immediate impact. The youngest class has accounted for almost half (46.5 percent) of Pittsburgh's scoring this season. They have 158 of Pittsburgh's 340 total points scored this year. The freshmen's largest scoring output came with 43 of 80 points against Lafayette.
Pittsburgh's frosh have also been solid on the boards. The freshmen are grabbing 49.3 percent (99-of-201) of the Panthers' rebounds.
Additionally, three freshmen have emerged in the starting rotation. Forward Mandy Wittenmyer earned the nod in each game along with Dallas Williams. Laine Selwyn has also seen time and is averaging 6.6 points. Wittenmyer is averaging 8.8 points per game, while Williams is contributing 7.2 points.
Successful Openers
The Panthers have a strong history of success in their season-openers. With the 80-43 rout of Lafayette Nov. 21, Pittsburgh increased its overall mark in opening contests to 19-7 and 13-3 at Fitzgerald. Additionally, the 37-point victory over the Leopards stands tied for the Panthers fifth-largest margin of victory over an opponent in the 25-year history of the program. Pittsburgh's largest margin of victory came in a 109-45 win over Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Dec. 12, 1975.
Following is a breakdown of Pittsburgh's largest victories:
Date Opponent Score Margin 12-12-75 IUP 109-45 64 pts. 12-6-74 Duquesne 91-32 59 pts. 11-22-83 Fairmont State 100-55 45 pts. 11-14-98 Robert Morris 89-49 40 pts. 12-2-77 Temple 77-40 37 pts. 11-21-99 Lafayette 80-43 37 pts.
Putting Points on the Board
Pittsburgh is averaging 68.0 points per game, over eight more than last year's 59.6 average, to help it start the season on a 4-1 run. Prior to the low-scoring contest with Cincinnati (58-55), the Panthers' numbers had been even more impressive. They were averaging 71.5 points.
In contrast, Pittsburgh is allowing its opponents just 55.8 points per game for a plus-12.2 margin, which ranks third in the Big East.
Tough Slate
Pittsburgh has 13 home games on its slate this year, the most since the 1996-97 season when it had 15 home contests.
The Panthers will also face some tough competition on their schedule, including six teams which advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 1998-99.
Additionally, five of Pittsburgh's opponents are ranked in the USAToday/ESPN Coaches and Associated Press polls, including Connecticut, Notre Dame, Rutgers, Penn State and Boston College.

*Note: AP Rankings as of 12/6 and USAToday as of 11/29.
Non-Conference Foes
The Panthers play a 12-game non-conference schedule in 1999-2000 which began Nov. 21 against Lafayette. The slate includes 11th-ranked (USA Today/ESPN, 16th - AP) Penn State and Cincinnati, and they will play eight games prior to Christmas. Following the holiday break, the Panthers travel to Atlanta for the Georgia Tech Tournament, where the field includes the host Yellow Jackets, Campbell and Western Michigan.
Last season, the Panthers were 5-4 overall against non-confernce foes, including an impressive 3-0 mark on their home court. Their home wins included decisions over Robert Morris, Miami (Ohio) and an upset-win over Penn State.
New Faces
Pittsburgh will have one of the youngest lineups in the Big East Conference when they take the court in 1999-2000. The Panthers welcome eight new faces to their lineup this year, including five freshmen who all will vie for time in the lineup.
Pittsburgh also boasts two junior college transfers in Autumn Alexander and Celeste Barkley, as well as Bettina Love, a transfer from Old Dominion, to complement the six returnees from 1998-99. (Love will be ineligible this season due to the NCAA transfer rule.)
Panther Player Notes
Mandy MadnessPittsburgh freshman Mandy Wittenmyer has made her mark in the Panthers' lineup this season. The 6-2 forward from Mechanicsburg, Pa., is the team's second-leading scorer and rebounder with her 10.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
Wittenmyer has started every game this season and has impressed. She has posted a double-digit scoring effort in three of five games this season. Against Kent, Wittenmyer contributed the only double-double performance of the game with her 10 points and 12 rebounds. She put up a 12-point effort against Lafayette, while adding five assists and six rebounds, and chipped in a 14- point effort at Cincinnati.
Dazzling Dallas
Freshman Dallas Williams has dazzled the Panthers' coaching staff so far this season and earned herself a spot in the starting rotation. The Mason, Ohio native, has started every game and in the first official start of her career against Lafayette, Williams contributed eight points in 21 minutes of play.
Williams put up her best offensive performance of the season in the win over Ohio when she had 11 points.
Against Robert Morris she was the Panthers' second-leading scorer with nine points and seven rebounds in a season-high 30 minutes of action.
Williams, a two-time Cincinnati Player of the Year out of Mason High, also had an impressive performance in front of her home crowd against Cincinnati. She contributed eight points and six rebounds.
More on Dallas
Williams has also emerged as Pittsburgh's most accurate shooter so far this season. She is leading the Panthers with her 59.3 percent (16-of-27) shooting from the field. Her accuracy also ranks among the best in the Big East Conference. She ranks fifth in the league in field goal percentage and is the only freshman to place among the top five.
Motorin' Monique
Junior Monique Toney has been one of the Panthers' most vocal leaders on the court this season, but she has also led the team by example as well. After averaging 10.6 points per game last season, the 5-5 guard has increased her scoring output to a team-high 12.4. Additionally, she has scored in double-figures in all but one game and is averaging 3.6 assists.
After posting an 11-point effort in the opener, Toney went on to spark a second-half rally against Robert Morris Nov. 24 to lead the Panthers to a 63-45 victory. Pittsburgh trailed 28-27 at halftime, but Toney scored 13 of her 18 points in the second half for the comeback win.
Toney had another clutch performance at Cincinnati Nov. 28 when she hit the game-winning 3-pointer with just five seconds remaining to break a tie and give Pittsburgh the 58-55 win. She added another 12 points against Kent.
Lovely Laine
Although she is only a freshman, Laine Selwyn has already produced one of Pittsburgh's top clutch performances this season. Against Cincinnati, Selwyn tied the score at 55 apiece with her 3-pointer with just 15 seconds remaining on the clock. Not only did she hit the game-tying shot, but the freshman guard recorded a key steal on Cincinnati's ensuing possession to give Pittsburgh the ball back and allow for Monique Toney's game-winning 3-pointer.
Selwyn had eight points on the day versus the Bearcats to go along with three rebounds and two steals. She added another eight-point effort against Kent with six assists and for the season, she is averaging 6.6 points and 3.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds. Additionally, Selwyn has dished out six assists in each of the last two games.
Celebrating Celeste
Junior Celeste Barkley earned a spot in the starting rotation against Ohio Dec. 4 when senior center Nickeia Morris was sidelined due to injury. Barkley made an impression in her first career start at Pittsburgh and picked up right where Morris left off. Barkley was the team's second-leading scorer with her 12 points (3-of-3 from the field and 6-of-7 from the free throw line) and added a game-high eight rebounds.
Super Stewart
Freshman guard Brooke Stewart had the most productive game of her career when the Panthers took a 71- 60 decision over Ohio Dec. 4. Stewart had a breakthrough performance, scoring a game-high 16 points. She was 5-of-8 from the field, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range.
Local Pittsburgh fans may recognize Stewart. The 5-8 guard is a product of East Allegheny High School. Stewart finished her high school career with over 3,000 points and averaged 29.0 points in her career, including 31.2 as a senior.
Through the Panthers' first five games, Stewart is averaging 7.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.4 minutes of play. She sank eight points versus Lafayette in her first collegiate game, while adding three rebounds and two assists and had six points versus Kent on two 3-pointers.
Noting Nickeia
Returning for her senior campaign is 6-7 center Nickeia Morris. The tallest women's basketball player in Pittsburgh history is back in the starting lineup after being the Panthers' leading rebounder and scorer last season. She averaged 13.1 points and 8.2 rebounds as a junior and saw 30.4 minutes of action.
Morris took home her first double-double of the 1999-2000 season with a game-high 11 rebounds and 11 points versus Lafayette and added 10 rebounds and six points against Robert Morris.
She is currently averaging 9.3 points and 8.8 rebounds per game. She also has contributed a team-high 11 blocks to rank her third in the Big East. Morris missed the Ohio game due to a knee injury.
Magical Morris
Morris will be one Pittsburgh player to watch this season. She entered her senior campaign ranked 10th in the Pittsburgh annals with 533 career rebounds and has already moved into the ninth spot with 27 boards this season. Her 8.8 rebounds per game rank her fifth in the Big East. Last season, she had 222 on the season and finished the year ranked fourth in the Big East with a 8.2 average.
Morris is already off to a quick start this season, and if she matches her numbers from 1998-99, she will rank among the top seven rebounders in Pittsburgh history when she completes her career.

Blocking Bliss
Morris has also been one of Pittsburgh's top shot blockers throughout her career. She ranked eighth on the all-time list with 145 career blocks heading into this season, but elevated herself to seventh all-time with five blocks against Lafayette. She has already recorded a team-high 11 blocks this season. If Morris continues on this pace she could crack the top three before the season concludes.
