It FEORGE FENCENFURTNER JERRY BIELMAN Led by George Gegenfurtner and Brian Guest, they fought themselves to a one point lead with approximately three minutes left. However, the Rams retallied on a free throw by Stankow- ski. When Ryan acquired the ball on a rebound they employed a deliberate freeze. With one minute remaining in the game they called time out and gathered around their coach for his words of wisdom. Upon the resumption of play they moved the ball cautiously for the last shot. There were ten sec- onds left when the ball was passed to the 6 ft. 3 in. Plieza for the deciding bucket. MIKE SCHLEE 27
