Miss Light and Tracy Zinn, senior, both passed old school scoring records during that i game. Soaring statistics spotlight season Included in that string were a pair of wins over district foe Missouri-Rolla, an exciting 88-82 homecourt win over Southwest Baptist, an upset, 59-57 win at higth-touted Missouri-St. Louis, and a crush- ing, 101-70 triumph at home against Missouri Southern February 3, the night Miss Zinn broke the scoring record. The win over Southern assured the Lady Crusaders of a trip to the state tournament. The winning streak was cut short as the team dropped three games in a row. The first of those losses, to junior college power Crowder College, severely dampened the possibility- of Evangel reaching the national rankings for the second year in a row.

Two other seniors played their final games in the maroon and white this season; Sharon Whitaker and Debbie Law- horn, who transferred to Evan- gel from Crowder before their junior season. Both jumped into the starting lineup im- mediately and have been hard to bump from the starting quintet. In two years as a Crusader, Miss Lawhorn scored over 600 points and snared nearly 300 rebounds. Miss Whitaker in- creased her scoring output to 12 points per games and again was nearing 100 assists. The Evangel scoring leaders: in each game were usuallyl different, as evidenced by the balanced scoring statistics. Miss Zinn's 28 points against Mis- souri Southern was a season high. She also scored 25 in an early season game at William Jewell. Miss Zinn topped the 20 point mark four other times, as did Miss Lawhorn, while Miss Whitlow and Miss Whi- taker each eclipsed the 20 point barrier twice. Rounding out the Lady Cru- saders squad were juniors Donna Creekmore and Jewell Detlefsen, sophomores Carla Unruh and Gwen Beans, and freshmen Vickie Foster, Joyce Barney, Jodi Blain, and Valerie Aldrich. 8 - am Twining t
