Woments Basketball Team Captures 100th Win The Miami University women,s basketball team ended the season with a record of 16-13 and a third place finish at the OAISW Division I State Championship. The Redskins defeated Bowling Green in opening-round oom- petition before bowing to eventual runner-up Cincinnati in the semi- finals. The sixteen wins were the most ever for a Miami womenis basketball team. In commenting on the tournament, Head Coach Pam Wettig pointed out that the Redskins merely tlgot byii Bowling Green as they looked for a po- tential rematch with the Cincinnati Bearcats. According to Coach Wettig, Miami ttbroke down defensivelyii in the first half, allowing the Bearoats several wide scoring leads during the half. The second half was a completely different story, as Miami held Cincinnati score- less for just over ten minutes. In addi- tion, with Miami in possession of the ball and Cincinnati leading by just one point, it looked as though the tide would turn in favor of the Redskins. Twenty seconds seemed long enough for a final Miami shot, yet the Victory was not to be, as the Redskins were called for a somewhat less than obvious three-seoond lane Violation to stop the clock at :01, turning the ball over to the Bearoats, who ran down the remaining time. Honored at the tournament award presentation was Miami guard Mary Ann Myers. A sophomore from Swan- nanoa, N .C., Mary Ann was named to the All-Tournarnent team for the sec- ond year. She collected a total of 37 points in three games, handing out four assists and recording seven steals. Looking toward next season, the Redskins will be minus the services of WOMENiS BASKETBALL - FRONT ROW: Mary Ann Meyers, Llsa Rothchild, Carol Bruning, Carol Fettig, Anita Quinton, Penny Edwards, Janet Watson, Kris Livingston. SECOND ROW: Head Coach Pam Wettig, Manager Julie Fox, Manager Janet Anderson, 208 Athletics two consistent performers, seniors Carol F ettig and Anita Quinton. Carol had been the leading rebounder over the last two years and Anita completed her college career in second place on the all-time scoring list. However, the Redskins had several young players ready to fill that void. Another highlight of the season was that the team captured their 100th vio- tory when they beat Ohio State on Jan- uary 23rd. W In a mad scramble under the board for a rebound, Carol Bruning dominates in the race for control of the elusive sphere.
