INDIANA - Guard Megan Woodall posted the first triple-double in Indiana University of Pennsylvania's 30-year women's basketball history as the Indians trounced East Stroudsburg University, 82-52, in a non-conference game Sunday.

Woodall scored 16 points, grabbed ten rebounds and fed off ten assists, all in 29 minutes.

The 5-9 senior was 6 for 7 from the floor and 4 for 4 from the foul line. She grabbed seven offensive rebounds and three defensive.

Guard Jess Conner was the top scorer for IUP with 17 points, including five three-pointers in ten tries, while forward Jodi Federick also scored 16 points and forward Sarah Zdesar added ten.

Guard Megan Ross had her second straight big game for the Warriors with a season-high 18 points. She made 5 of 11 field goal attempts, including two three-pointers, and was 6 for 6 from the line. She had scored 17 points in a loss at California Saturday.

Forward Kelly Hutchison followed with 15 points for her eighth straight double-digit scoring effort while Michelle Pilenza contributed ten points.

Connor drilled a three-pointer to put IUP ahead for keeps, 9-6, with 13:14 left in the first half. The Indians then had an 15-2 run over a five-minute period later in the half, capped by Woodall's jumper, to make it, 33-14. The halftime difference was 16 points at 39-23.

ESU got back to within nine points, scoring 16 straight points, six by Ross and five Hutchison. That made it, 52-43, with 9:31 remaining, but the Indians broke it open again with their own 16-point run, 12 from the foul line, for an insurmountable 72-47 edge with 5:13 left.

IUP raised its record to 9-3 while ESU dropped to 2-9. The Warriors will open their Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division season at Cheyney Wednesday at 6 p.m.
