LAST WEEK REVISITED Highlights from performances by individuals and teams in district colleges last week: Bob Colbert, whose brother, Kevin, is the director of football operations for the Steelers, is the new football coach at Saint Vincent. The Bearcats will play their inaugural season in 2007. Colbert, 58, has been on the staff at Bridgewater College the past eight years. The Gannon women's lacrosse team, which hasn't had a losing record in the 10-year history of the program, is ranked ninth in Lacrosse Magazine's NCAA Division II preseason poll. California senior running back Antoine Bagwell was named to two more All-America teams -- second-team on Daktronics and D2Football.com. Bagwell, the first player in school history invited to the Jan. 21 Hula Bowl, was fifth in Division II in rushing (158.8 yards per game) and third in points (15.2 per game) this season. The Westminster men's swimming team (5-1) moved up five spots to 17th in the Collegeswimming.com NCAA Division III poll, and the women's team (5-1) dropped five places to 22nd. Pitt-Johnstown sophomore forward Chris Gilliam, who averages 23.4 points per game, leads NCAA Division II in field-goal percentage at 74.4 percent, making 90 of 121 attempts.

The Carnegie Mellon University men's basketball team received national attention with a 51-46 victory against Princeton two weeks ago, but the Tartans have a long history of playing -- and beating -- Division I teams.

But it was the kind of history Princeton would like to forget. It was the Tigers' first loss in 28 games against Division III teams.

Although CMU followed the win against Princeton with a 96-83 loss at Division III Bluffton, the Tartans (10-1) jumped three spots to 19th in the D3hoops.com poll, for their highest ranking.

Clayton Barlow-Wilcox, a 6-foot-4 senior, was named ECAC Southern player of the week. For the season, he averages 16.8 points and team highs of 8.9 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. The team's leading scorer is 6-foot-7 senior Nate Maurer (19.7 ppg).

CMU plays at Brandeis (7-3) tonight and at New York University (10-0) Sunday in a University Athletic Association game.

CMU, whose only appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament was in 1977, could get to the tournament with the automatic bid as champion of the UAA tournament or an at-large bid. The NCAA tournament has expanded from 48 to 59 teams this season.

CMU's record is 1-11 against Division I opponents in Tony Wingen's 16 seasons as head coach. Four of those losses came against Robert Morris.

The Tartans used to play district Division I teams Duquesne, Pitt and West Virginia on a regular basis before the school's name was changed from Carnegie Tech to Carnegie Mellon in late 1967.

The Tartans are 16-108 all-time vs. Pitt, with the most recent meeting in the regular season an 84-39 defeat in 1996. CMU's last victory against Pitt was 68-64 at Skibo Gym in 1964.

They are 8-38 against Duquesne, with the most recent game a 79-59 loss in 1964. The Tartans defeated the Dukes twice during the 1959-60 season, 58-52 and 83-75.

They are 18-34 against West Virginia, with a 70-69 victory in the most recent game in 1955.

New AD eyes growth

Bill Dukett, who has associated with Washington and Jefferson the past 23 years, is the new athletic director in charge of the school's 23 varsity programs -- 12 men's and 11 women's teams -- that compete in NCAA Division III.

"I'm a football guy, but I'd like to see all the programs be as successful as our football program," said Dukett, who was on the football team's coaching staff from 1982-98. "I also was track and field coach for men and women, and I coached the men and women golf teams. I am committed to a broad-based athletic department.

"You want to use your athletic programs as a marketing tool for the college."

Football, a perennial national powerhouse, is the school's flagship program. The baseball team has set school records for wins in a season in each of the past two seasons, but men's basketball has struggled without a winning record since 1997-98.

The women's banner has been carried by the basketball team that currently is 24th in the country and ranked for the fourth consecutive season. The swimming and diving team is 13th, featuring sophomore Kaitylyn Orstein (Mt. Lebanon), who won national championships in the 200 and 400 individual medleys as a freshman.

Dukett got out of coaching in 1998 and spent four years as the assistant director of alumni relations.

"I got a different look at college not from as myopic a point of view," he said. "I always knew I'd get back into athletics in some capacity. My job is to be an advocate for the athletic department."

W&J is a member of the Presidents' Athletic Conference.

Edinboro names coach

Scott Browning, an assistant coach for 20 seasons at Edinboro and the offensive coordinator the past four seasons, is the new football coach of the Fighting Scots. He succeeds Lou Tepper, who left after five seasons to coach the rival IUP Indians.

Browning, a 1981 graduate of Ohio State, inherits a program that has been co-champion of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference the past three years and has reached the NCAA Division II playoffs in 2003 and '04. Despite an 8-2 record and a national ranking, Edinboro didn't receive a bid to the playoffs last season.

Browning's brother, Mitchell, is the offensive coordinator at the University of Minnesota.
