Nv OS LeDay sets up Grambling offense. National Scoring Record Set If you like high-scoring games, you should have watched the GSU-Jarvis Christian battle in Memorial Gymnasium. Not only did the Lady Ti- gers produce 139 points, but in doing so, they set a na- tional scoring record. Their 139-36 victory surpassed the previous NCAA high mark of 138 points. That record was established Dec. 6, 1983, when North Carolina- Wilmington romped past Da- vidson 138-44. Junior Mary Currie broke her own GSU scoring record when she sank 51 points against Central Florida. Crowd seems entranced by action. Currie was the team’s scoring leader. Will it ever come down? There is no stopping this Lady Tiger.
