Unfortunately, the Behrend Lions were on the short end of a 55-54 decision to the Thiel Tomcats. With a little under a minute left, point guard Johnny Hawthorne brought the ball up the court and launched a three point attempt. Unfortunately, the shot didn't go in, but he was fouled and awarded three free throws. Hawthorne came into the game shooting only 48% from the charity stripe. All three shots, as they say in the Bird- Jordan commercial, were nothing but net. The Lions were now only down by one, 53-52. When Thiel tried to inbound the ball, sophomore forward Steve Berger stole the ball and gave Behrend a 54-53 lead. The crowd in Erie Hall was probably the loudest it has been all year. With two seconds left, Thiel guard Sean McWhorter hit a jumper in the lane to give Thiel a 55-54 victory. When asked to comment on the loss,AssistantCoach Chris Lady Lions last chance to dance by Hal Coffey Collegian Staff As the Lady Lions NCAA bid hopes fall further and further out of their reach, Coach Jenepher Banker is looking forward to "one game at a time". How did Behrend fall from their lofty pre-season goals? Banker believes that the extra pressure due to last year's success (23-4) and the team's recent inability to run the court efficiently have been major factors. You need to look no further than the stats from the January 27 game vs. Washington and Jefferson at Erie Hall. The Lady Lions shot 6 points below their season average even with an extra five minutes of overtime. In overtime, Behrend scored only 2 points. Anne Bonner helped keep the home team in the game finishing with 21 points. Sports ne Trouble Sibling rivalry: Sophomore Steve Berger goes up strong against his bra game earlier this week with Thiel College in Erie Hall. Viscuso said, "We can't let this bother us. We have to take it one game at a time." After the loss, the Lions fell to 9-11 on the season, yet still feel that they have a shot at the ECAC Tournament. The Lion's last outing before the Thiel game was against an 0-14 Oberlin team. The Lions snatched up their ninth victory Unfortunately, Banker believes that the ladies "lack of inside shots and lay-ups" were their downfall. The 67-63 overtime loss forced Banker into having a multitude of running drills at practice. It evidently paid off in a 101-36 thrashing of winless Oberlin and a 71-50 home victory over Thiel College. In those two games, Becky Swartz scored 16 and 10 points, respectively, to lead the Lady Lions. With the season winding down, Banker believes that the girls can beat the two teams that have beaten them a total of three times, Naynesburg and Washington and Jefferson. "We're better than both teams, but we haven't proven it yet. It's time to start proving," said Banker. By defeating those two ranked teams, and a few in between, perhaps the ladies can eek out an of the season as they won 70- 59. Hawthorne and Rob Hunt each had 16 points for the victorious Lions as they held Oberlin to only 41% shooting on the day. I2=::=3 Lion Notes: How much The Lions final home game is closer can you get?
