Junior Meredith Lacey led the Lady Mounts with 17 points, in- cluding two huge three-pointers during an 11-2 run in the third “We quarter. Lacey had four of her team’s seven treys on the day. The slick guard was feeling it right from the bell, when she scored five of Dallas’s first seven points. “It's like as soon as it leaves your hand, there it is. It's a good feeling,” Lacey said. It appeared the rest of the Lady Mountaineers were “on” as well. Junior guard Shannon Thomas scored 13 points, thanks to some tough work in- side; and sophomore Cory Pat- ton ignited her team off the bench with some long-distance shooting and ballhandling. Pat- ton finished with 12, including a rainbow to start the fourth quar- ter. “We were up by 11 and we just kept making everything,” Patton said. “Everybody got hot.” And everybody contributed. Junior forward Jackie Hardwick had eight points, King, also a ju- nior, chipped in seven while pro- viding some tough defensive help inside on Alexis, sophomore Megan Savage added four points off the bench, and junior for- ward Rosalyn Wentko had two. “I gotta say one thing,” said Noon, still grinning. “There's no T in team the way we spell it. We spell it with a ‘'W — WE.
