WIN IN OVERTIME
Dallas girls traveled to Lake-
Lehman’s court Thursday afternoon
where they were met with a com-
whose hot shooting from the foul
line was the key to their 57-54
overtime win.
The Mountaineers were leading
49-42 with less than four minutes
remaining in the final period but the
with only 90 seconds left in the
from the field to give Dallas the
lead, then Joann Cook was fouled on
a steal and made the first shot of a
one-and-one to give Dallas a 52-50
lead.
With less than 30 seconds on the
clock, Sandy Dicton chanced a 15
foot shot which went in to tie the
score at the end of regulation play.
In the overtime period, Dallas
won the toss but Dicton got the ball
on a steal and passed to Pam
Solinski who hit a jump shot to give
the Knights a 54-52 lead. Joann Cook
was fouled on the shot and got two
points for Dallas on a one-and-one
shot to tie the score at 54-54.
After that both teams had a
chance to score but didn’t. It was
Cindy Slocum who moved the
Knights into the. lead when she
made the front end of a one-and-one
shot. The Mountaineers tried to take
the ball down court but Solinski
stole the ball from Dallas. In the
ensuing play Dicton was fouled and
made both shots on a one-and-one to
give the Knights the win.
The Mountaineers were outhustled
by the Black Knights who knew they
had to beat Dallas to stay in the
competition for the division title.
Lori Lopasky played an outstand-
ing game for Lake-Lehman scoring
19 points. Sandy Dicton came
through for the Knights in the fourth
period and ended with 15 points,
three of them key shots from the
free stripe. Solinski scored 14
points.
SIX FOR SIX
Dallas girls were six for 12 from
the charity stripe but missed key
one-and-one shots in regulation time
that were a factor in their loss.
Gavigan was high scorer with 23
points. Angie kern and Cook turned
in good games Eileen Walsh hit the
double figure column with 10 points.
In the game with Wyoming Semi-
nary on Tuesday, the Mountaineers
got off to a sluggish start and lead
only 18-17 at the end of the first half.
Gavigan was held only to eight
points in the game bu Coach Kit
Karuza attributed her low score to
the fact that he was trying to
diversify the offense and was using
Gavigan as a decoy.
LAWRENCE LEADS
Leigh Lawrence led the Blue
Knights in a scoring attack in the
second period to keep the Mountai-
neers in the lead by one point in the
halftime.
Kim Rollman scored 14 points,
eight big ones in the fourth period
and Karen Vloedman played one of
her better games hitting 10 points in
the second half, six of them in the
third period.
Dallas was scheduled to play
Crestwood at home Tuesday and
West Side Tech, Friday, this week.
LOSE TO SETON
After losing a 52-47 to Crestwood
last Tuesday, Lake-Lehman girls
basketball team was up to defeat
the Dallas Mountaineers 57-54 in an
overtime game, Thursday, on the
Knights home court in a minor
upset, then lost 57-43 to Seton Catho-
ic.
Sandy Dicton led the Knights in
the game against the Eagles scoring
19 points but the Eagles jumped out
to an early first half lead which the
Knights were unable to overcome.
Coach Joe Martini had no expla-
nation for the Knights loss unless
his girls weren’t ready to play after
coming off their win against Dallas.
“Maybe that was the key to it,”
said Martini.- “It’s hard to play
back-to-back teams like Crestwood,
Dallas and Seton Catholic in one
week. We don’t have the height and
every time the girls go out on the
floor, they know there can be no let
up.”
The Knights came on strong in the
second half but by that time the
Seton girls had taken too big a lead.
Kate Tigue led Seton with 20
points, with Nicole Kovaleski hitting
14 and Patty Scoy adding 12 to aid
in the upset.
Lori Lopasky played the most out-
standing game of her high school
career in the Knights overtime win
over Dallas, putting the ball through
the nets eight times from the field
and going three-for-four from the
floor and dumped in three-for-seven
from the charity stripe.
Dallas led 13-12 at the end of the
first period and took a 25-24 lead at
halftime. The Mountaineers out-
scored the Knights 16-14 in the third
period to lead 41-38 going into the
final period where the Knights tied
it up at 52-52 by the end of regula-
tion time. Foul shots by Dicton and
Slocum gave the Knights the three
point win 57-54, after Pam Solinski
hit a two pointer to tie it at 54-54.
Crestwood took a first half 13-pont
36-23 halftime lead against the
Knights in last Tuesday’s game at
the Back Mountain school’s gym.
Lynn Coslett hit 13 points in the
first half and Diane Madl put in 10
to lead the Comets. Coslett had a
total of 21 points inthe game and
Madl followed with 19.
In the second half the Knights
outscored the Comets 24-$6 but were
unable to overtake them when they
failed to make the first shot on four
one-and-one shots.
Coach Martini’s girls, who are
known for thier good shooting from
the free stripe, made only five of 15
attempts. :
Dicton and Pam Solinski played a
strong offense in the second half
with Dicton hitting 16 points. Solin-
ski and Lori Lopasky hit 14 each
with Lopaasky scoring 10 of hers in
the first half.
The Knights were set to play
Meyers, away, Tuesday, then Hano-
ver and Northwest. |

Seton Catholic win their remaining
games while Dallas loses one the
second half of Division II can end in
a tie for the title forcing a four-way
playoff.
