Carolina Lovette scored her only two points of the night in the final :11 seconds of the game as she calmly sank both charity tosses in a one-and-one situation at the foul line. The Lady Bobcats had come from behind to tie the score at 42-all when Lovette was fouled. Lovette's free throws lifted Lees-McRae Q6-107 over King Q9-9J and evened the record between the two teams this season. The Lady Tornadoes had blistered the Lady Bobcats by 26 points in their first meeting this year. Angie Henderson, leading the Region X women in scoring, hit her average of 20 points and pulled down 11 rebounds. The Lees-McRae Lady Bobcats saw a nine-point lead evaporate in the closing minutes as Louisburg's threat fell short, 50-48, and Lees-McRae survived to improve its record to 9-13. Kat Blackburn paced the Lady Bobcats with 22 points. Ronda Crum played an outstanding game on defense and was instrumental in keeping the Lady Hurricanes at bay in the late surge. Crum tied up the ball on an inbounds play under the Hurricanes' basket with :08 seconds remaining, then slapped the jump ball over to Pam Greene who was immediately fouled. Greene made one and one to give the Lady Bobcats their 50-48 winning margin. ,BBQ MCRAE LADY BOBCATS BLAST BREVARD IN TOURNEY Lees-McRae jumped out to an early lead, raced to a 25-21 halftime margin, and increased its lead to as many as 11 points in the second half as the Lady Bobcats won, 63-56, in the opening round of the WCJCC women's tournament in North Greenville's Hayes Gymnasium. It was the first time Lees-McRae had won an opening round in the tournament since women's basketball was rein- stated at the college in 1980. The win improved LM's record to 10-13, which is one of the best seasons the women have had since 1984 when Laura Johnson's crew posted a 16-8 season. In Johnson's first year she managed a 12-7 record but then suffered through three losing seasons in '82, '83, and '85. Kat Blackburn paced the Lees-McRae attack with 16 points, followed by Angie Henderson's fourteen. Ronda Crum and Pam Greene chipped in 11 points each, and fresh- man Shannon Credle dominated the boards, pulling down 13 rebounds and scoring nine points. Crum had 12 rebounds, Henderson had 11 and Blackburn ten as the Lady Bobcats dominated Brevard on the boards, 53-46. ANDERSON KNOCKS LADY BOBCATS FROM TOURNEY Lees-McRae fought hard throughout the first half and trailed 36-29 before succumbing to a tall and talented An- derson quintet as the Lady Trojans raced to a 69-50 win in the semi-finals of the women's WCJCC Tournament. 2 'J ,. .ff -1 .. ,....
