The first half was characterized by good ball handling, clutch rebounds and steals. The Lions also took it to them at the foul line and Cabrini hindered its own offensive attack by commiting many turnovers. 'This lead to a 36 to 42 score at halftime with the Lions trailing by only six. The momentum that was built up in the first half unfortunately did not carry over into the second half. The lions stopped working the ball. To add to their troubles, Cabrini created many fast break opportunities via costly turnovers due to sloppy ball handling by Capital. Cabrini then created a spurt of 10 unanswered points to put the nail in the coffin and drive home with a victory.

Yet there is no added glory to winning an athletic contest other than the thrill of victory and the roar of the crowd cheering them on. Other schools have lucrative athletic scholarships, but that is not the case here. The prime example is the men's basketball team. These guys have intense practice sessions that can last well into the night. The traveling to the various away matches takes up precious study time and adds to the pressure that they already face in terms of being a success in the classroom as well as on the court.

Capital Times February 3 , 1988, Page 15 voices that can be heard are the words of encouragement from the cheerleaders on the sidelines. Well then, why do they do it? The answer can be found in the way that the gentlemen approach each game. Even after a 30 point loss the night before, these men go out with as much intensity as if they had won by 100 points. The team spirit is there. From the sidelines you can hear on many occaision the encouragement not only coming from the coach but also from the teammates on the bench. So you can see why now I am going to take this opportunity to encourage you to come to the CUB and not only cheer on the basketball players but all student athletes throughout the academic year.
