Kelly Mazzante got her points. So did Tanisha Wright, Jessica Brungo, Jess Strom and Ashli Schwab.

The Penn State women's basketball team saw everybody get involved this past weekend in the Preseason Women's National Invitational Tournament.

Mazzante led the team in scoring in both games, with 25 points against Bucknell and 33 against Siena. But her fellow starters also had big weekends. Brungo had 18 points on 8-for-9 shooting against Bucknell on Friday and had another 14 against Siena yesterday. Wright had 19 points against the Bison and also dropped 14 on Siena.

Last season, the Lady Lions had just one player, Wright, other than Mazzante average double digits. In both games this weekend every starter scored in double digits twice, except for Strom. She had just four points against Bucknell, but rebounded with a big game against Siena as she 15 points and went 5-for-6 from the floor. The performance was especially encouraging since Strom was taken for x-rays on her hand after the Bucknell game. She played yesterday with a brace on her finger.

The increase in scoring by the supporting cast made it that much easier for Mazzante to score. She saw double teams in both games this weekend, but neither Siena nor Bucknell stayed with the double team.

After seeing her fair share of box-and-one or triangle-and-two defenses last season. Mazzante should be getting more of the one-on-one looks she saw this weekend.

"That [the balanced attack] was what concerned us when we were scouting them," Siena women's basketball coach Gina Castelli said.

Schwab, who is seeing the biggest increase in playing time of the starting five, showed an ability to score in the low post. She scored 10 points against Bucknell and 11 against Siena. The sophomore saw limited playing time last season and scored just two points all of her freshman season.

Penn State's plethora of weapons caused problems for both the coaches of Siena and Bucknell.

"I think that's exactly what having a four-guard option is all about," Mazzante said. "I just think it's too hard to stop one or two of us and I think if we continue to put the points up and play better defense we are going to be tough to beat."
