Please Nandy! This could be the winning point. Despite grim determination to win, the Norfolk Catho- lic Crusadettes completed the season with a 4-7 record. The team was heartbroken after the first game, for the DePaul nurses outscored them by only one point. The final score was 27-28.

The first away game brought success and the girls' basketball team came home victorious with a 28-22 win over the Maryview nurses. After losing to St. Gertrudeas the Crusadettes made a comeback by winning their next three games. Travelling to Newport News they defeated St. Vincent's 37f27. Their biggest thrill came when the girls downed the Paulettes by a margin of 7 points. When the St. Vincent,s girls visited Norfolk Catholic, the Crusadettes trounced them 48-18. St. Gertrudeis team was given a run for its money in the second game with Norfolk Catholic. The score was a dis- appointing 30-33.
