Longhorns foil Lady Gagers again
By DENISE BACIIMAN
Daily Collegian Sports Writer
Is there such a thing as the Texas jinx?
The women's basketball team is cer
tainly beginning to think so.
) For the third consecutive year the
Longhorns captured the Penn State
Invitational crown, defeating the Lady
Lions, 76-69, in the championship game.
In 1977 Texas slipped past the lady
cagers in the first round, 77-72, and last
year they trampled Penn State, 96-67.
"We never even gave our offense a
chance to develop," Coach Pat Meiser
said. "Not only were we not shooting but
we were •not getting people in the
position to rebound.
"The offense rushed things. We
should've been taking better shots and
taking second shots."
Despite the Lady Lions' dismal
shooting performance in the first half, 17
of 45 for 37.8 percent, they left the court
at the half down by only one, 39-38. In the
second period the offense still wasn't
able to get untracked, as it only
managed to muster a few one-point leads
before being shut out in the final three
minutes.
"This was a good ball game; it has to
help us," Texas coach Jddy Conradt
said. "We made a lot of mistakes, hut

The scene Rec Hall Saturday af
ternoon. The event the Penn State
Invitational women's basketball final.
The teams the Lady Lions vs. the
Texas Longhorns.
Enter Longhorn Hattie Browning, at 5-
4, the shortest player on the court.
Browning, a point guard, is a "quiet
kind of player," Longhorn Coach Jody
Conradt said.
Apparently Browning, a junior, made
a noticeable entrance. The point guard
stepped onto the court after ap
proximately eight minutes had elapsed
with her team trailing, 12-8. When the
game ended, Texas was on top, 76-69.
Browning and Jackie Swaim, a forward
and the team's leading scorer, collected
16 points apiece.
And Browning, a Temple Junior
College transfer with a scant 6.5 total
point average prior to the Invitational,

Her lack of height did not hamper
Browning's aggressiveness on the court.
That was "the best Hattie's played
under pressure situations," Conradt
said.
Referring to the point guard's jumping
ability Conradt said, "She came up with
the ball when it didn't look like she had a
chance."

"I felt we didn't have the basketball as
much as Penn State did so we had to
score; we couldn't afford not to. Then
once we established the lead we were not
too anxious to shoot."
Guard Hattie Browning, the tour
nament's Most Valuable Player who was
averaging 6.5 points per game, and
Jackie Swaim ignited the Longhorns'
offense, scoring 16 points apiece. Jen
Bednarek was high scorer in the Lady
Lions' losing cause with 21 points,
although she shot only 9 for 24 from the
floor.
"We need to show more patience on
offense," Meiser said. "We tend to rely
on one or two people to shoot and that
should not be the case.
"I felt we could beat them. We blew it
ourselves, particularly in the second
half. We would like to play Texas
again."
In Penn State's first contest, Southern
Connecticut definitely lived up to the
Lady Lions' expectations, and then
some. After the Lady Lions jumped out
to an 8-4 lead early in the game, the Owls
countered with eight consecutive points
to pull ahead. The Lady Lions failed to

the MVP title.
The junior from Bellville, Texas
connected on eight of 14 field goals
against Penn State with eight points in
each half
In the first half against the Lady
Lions, Browning tied the score at 22 and
put her team ahead, 26-22, with three
straight baskets including two left
layups. Ten of Browning's 16 points
resulted from layup shots.
The point guard committed only two
turnovers in 31 minutes of play against
the Lady Lions.
regain the lead and found themselves
trailing at the half, 35-30.
But in the second period the
momentum changed. Sue Martin baffled
the Owls' defense, as she connected for
16 of her team high 19 points to direct the
lady cagers' comeback, and decisively
beat Southern Connecticut, 83-68.
"We haven't faced•a diamond-and-one
all year," Meiser said, "and it took us a
long time to adjust. They took Jen out of
the offense.
"But in the second half we made some
adjustments to their defense and took
them out of their defense."
Besides Martin, four other Lady Lions
scored in double figures Bednarek
(18), Nancy Kuhl (16), Mary Donovan
(13), and Peg Schwinge (13).
"In the second half we just started
putting the ball up more," Martin said.
"We started playing our game instead of
theirs."
FREE THROWS: Penn State's record is
now 8-3 with all three losses to nationally
ranked teams. . . . The all-tournament
team included Texas' Kim Bassinger
and Browning, Ohio State's Frani
Washington, and Penn State's Martin
and Bednarek. . . . In the consolation
game, Ohio State ,tripped Southern
Connecticut, 79-69.
Prior to the Invitational, Browning
started more than half of Texas' games.
She was only the seventh leading scorer
on the team, with her field goal per
centage a dismal .453.
Browning did not start Friday night
against Ohio State, the eventual third
place team in the tourney, but made the
starting line-up in the second half of the
Penn State final. It "doesn't matter" to
the Texas point guard whether she starts
or comes off the bench.
Her statistics against Ohio State in

for four from the line in just 18 minutes
of play.

(Penn State) turnovers" led to the
victory, Browning said. The Lady Lions
turned the ball over 21 times, five more
turnovers than the Longhorns com
mitted.
Browning said she feels that "the team
as a whole should get credit" for the
victory. For instance Retha Swindell, a
6-2 senior from Center, Texas, collected
14 rebounds and blocked six shots.
The Longhorns started the game in the
man-to-man set-up but switched to the
zone for most of the game.
"They had a good all-around team,"
said Sue Martin, a Penn State forward.
Conradt said, Browning "eventually
will be a terrific point guard."
