comeback win
by Paul Benim

The nationally ranked Lady
Lions overcame a ten point
halftime deficit to post a tough
74-69 comeback win against
Washington and lefferson
College. v
"You don't need a whole lot of
talent to score, anybody can have
the skills to put the ball in the
hoop; however, it take? heart and
desire to play defensb and this
team certainly has it!"
commented Ebinger.
The Lions got the lead with
9:09 remaining. Ebinger knocked
in a three-pointer, which was
followed by Darcie Bradley’s two
quick hoops, and the Lions
gained the lead on a Michelle
Grover 15-footer. The squad led
this battle the rest of the way by
no more than five.
Junior Darcie Bradley came off
the bench and stepped forward
wheh the Lions needed her. In the
second half Bradley hit on 4 of 5
Lions held W&J to shots and finished with nine.
Bchrend began the game on a
9-0 spurt.
Karen Strait hit a layin and was
fouled. That was followed by a
Kimberly Boyd three-point play.
But the Presidents got right
back in it with a 70 percent
shooting chart in the first half,
hitting on 17 x 24 shots. Because
of W&J's hot shooting, the
Lions were down 43-33 at the
intermission.
The Lady Lions came, out after
the break with a greater level of
defensive intensity.
The Lady Lions pressure forced
action and the Presidents into
mistakes.
