In situations like these, Kelly Mazzante always has been on the floor. Her team's trailing. A big shot is needed.
Pressure is thick.
Mazzante's in the game. Those late-game scenarios always have included Mazzante, the Penn State women's basketball team's talented freshman guard. On Saturday night, with the clock winding down in the Lady Lions' slugfest against Texas Christian in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, Mazzante figured to play a pivotal role. Mired in an uncharacteristic night, Mazzante watched from the bench as the Lions battled a surprising Horned Frogs unit. TCU took a huge lead early, going up by as many as 19 points in the first half, then watched Penn State storm back.
