~'Friday’s game with Dallas and after trailing 14-11 in
the first period, they went on a scoring spree,
outscoring the Mountaineers 24-2 to go in front 33-16
with nearly five minutes remaining in the first half.
When the half ended the Seton girls took a 38-23 lead
into the lockerroom.
The Lady Mounts played slow basketball until the
third quarter when they began to go into action with
their full court press and ran off 11 points against the
Seton girls when the Eagles Nicole Kovaleski was
pulled out of the game with four fouls.
COME WITHIN FIVE
Shortly after, the second Eagle Kate Tigue was
pulled to the bench with four personals and the Dallas
girls came within five points of catching their oppo-
nents with the score at 53-48 and five minutes on the
clock.
It was then that Seton coach Marge Pace put
Kovaleski and Tigue back in the game and the tide
.furned once again. Kovaleski and Tigue led their team
while holding the Mountaineers to five to give Seton
Catholic the 64-33 win over the Mountaineers to
continue undefeated in the second half with an 8-0
record.
3 ~~ KARUZA PLEASED
Coach Kit Karuza said that his girls did a good job
in their second half efforts for a comeback, but they
still missed some opportunities for good shots and
gave up too many rebounds.
Karen Vloedman led the Mountaineers with 14 points
and Lori Brokenshire followed with 13. Angie Kern,
getting back in stride, came through with nine.
DEFENSIVE CHANGE HELPS
In their game with Wyoming Seminary Wednesday,
the Blue Knights led by one point at the end of the first
quarter but the Mountaineers changed from their 3-2
to man-to-man and finally caused a couple of turn-
overs to catch up and go ahead 22-19 at halftime.
In the second half, using their man-to-man press, the
Mountaineers outscored the Blue Knights 27-14 in the
third period and 24-7 in the final period to win 75-40.
BROKENSHIRE PLAYS WELL
Lori Brokenshire played an outstanding game and
showed excellent control and with 17 points combined
with Eileen Walsh for a dual total of 34 points. It was
Vloedman did not score many points but that was
because she got into foul trouble early on while
making some outstanding defensive plays and came
Moyer leads
King’s College junior Ed Moyer
went over the 1,000 point career
mark last Thursday in the Mon-
archs game with the Cougars of
College Misericordia.
The Monarchs took a one-sided 95-
56 victory from the Cougars of
Misericordia.
The Cougars, who dress only
seven freshmen, were not experi-
enced enough for the Middle Atlan-
tic Conference team but did their
best to stay in the game. They were
no match for the experienced King’s
College team, who are looking
toward the MAC playoffs and, hope-
fully, a chance to go on to the NCAA
tournament.
Cougar Coach Al Clocker was not
scored 14 points and Patrick King-
land and Ronald Summers, both
freshmen, scored 12 points each.
Clocker feels his boys should be
playing better since they are so far
into the season. He said he believes
it is a privilege to play basketball,
an honor to wear the uniform and
go out and play.
The Cougars are a young team
just getting off the ground.
The defeat should not let them
become discouraged.
The Lady Cougars played Elmira
Thursday night and ¢ame out on top
67-61. Sue Sharp scored 20 points to
lead the Lady Cougars of Misericor-
dia. Liz Eife added 14 and Kim
out of the game early. Kim Rinehimer played her
usual consistent game which is seldom noticed by the
spectators although she is the key factor in many of
the team’s wins. Kern hit the double figure column
with 10 points.
LOOKING TO PLAYOFFS
The Mountaineers have to get by Meyers in this
week’s game to get a good spot in the district playoffs.
Coach Joe Martini’s Lake-Lenman girls put forth
their best effort of the season, Friday, when they
played an excellent disciplined defense and drew some
crucial fouls against Hanover Area to throw the
Hawkeyes off balance and give the Lady Knights a 64-
49 win.
KASARDA LEADS KNIGHTS
Janine Kasarda led the Knights in scoring with 19
points, followed by Debbie levi with 16, Diane Jachi-
mowicz and Pam Coolbaugh with 10 points each.
Both the Knights and the Hawkeyes played even the
first period with Lake-Lehman leading 15-12 at the end
of the first quarter. In the second quarter the Lady
Knights broke the game wide open with a strong
offense and outscored Hanover 20-9.
PLAY STRONG OFFENSE J
Leading 35-21 at the half, the Lake-Lehman girls
played a fast-breaking, strong offense and kept the
Hanover girls off guard most of the way. It was only
in the fourth period that Hanover tried a series of fast
breaks and run and shoot offense but they couldn’t
continue ‘at the pace and the Lady Knights continued
their disciplined game to draw some fouls from their
opponents and go on to win 64-49.
Martini expressed his satisfaction with his young
team and said they played the best they have as a
team all year. They passed and moved the ball better
than they have all year and the win keeps the Lady
Knights in line for an AA playoff spot.
KNIGHTS OVERPOWERED
In Tuesday’s game with Crestwood, the Lady
Knights bowed 53-38 overpowered by the shooting of
Comet Becky Cooper who tossed in 24 points.
The Comets led by Cooper took a 20-6 lead at the end
of the first period and continued their scoring in the
second quarter to hold a 36-16 lead at halftime. Cooper
scored 10 points in the first period and added eight
more in the second.
RUN OFF NINE POINTS
In the third period, the Lake-Lehman girls ran off
nine points to the Comets one in the first six minutes
and came within 12 points, 37-25, led by Pam
Coolbaugh, who hit 12 points in the game. The Comets
came right back by going to the press in the final
period, caught the Lady Knights off guard and ran off
10 points in four minuts to nail down the game. Debbie
Levi led the Knights with 13 points and Coolbaugh
followed with 12.
Stetzer followed with 12 who ran
their record to 8-6.

wide as the buzzer sounded.
Despite losing, Knights Coach Rodger Bearde com-
mended his boys for hanging tough and keeping the
Hawkeyes playing at the Knights tempo. Hanover used
the press throughout the game and the Black Knights
handled it well.
SLOW-PACED GAME .
Lake-Lehman was able to keep the game at a slow
pace as evidenced by the low score of the game and
the Hawkeyes press accounted for only one turnover in
the first quarter and two in the second period. In the
last two periods, the Hawkeyes caused several turn-
overs which they turned into points. ;
Hanover led by only 8-4 at the end of the first period
and by 23-22 at the end of the first half. The Knights
were leading near the end of the second period when
Hanover’s press caused a turnover which Eric Lawson
took down the court and tossed it in to give his team a
21-20 lead. The Knights then scored but a final score
just before the buzzer gave Hanover a 23-22 lead at
halftime.
Hanover did almost the same thing in the fourth
period when the Knights were leading and Mike
Kolbicka stole the ball and tossed it in for two points
to tie the score. Then Jeff Thomas and Lawson each
hit the front end of one-and-ones to give Hanover the
44-42 win. Thomas led Hanover with 18 points.
