Each girl had her |ob. Julie Lord and Laura Gillespie were team leaders on the court. 5 ' 9 S(jph jmore Dawn Zimney provided the rebounding. Sophomore forward Sue Marto was the leading scorer. Renee Robideaux 5 ' and 5 ' 3 Susie Walior rotated at the point position and were often put on the court together as a defensive team, despite their size. Reserve player Karen Piatt was used as an offensive spark while reserve Kris Zabriskie was played tor her fine defense and hus- tle. Although the team finished with a 6-10 record they earned second place in the Northeast Region during regular season play. The season was marked by inconsistency. The team was able to defeat Langdon 55-45, a first by any Grand Forks girls basketball team. Another highlight came when the girls lost by only three points to state champion Fargo North. The shooting average for the team was .34% . however when playing two games against rival Grand Forks Central the shooting average dropped into the teens. Susan Marto was selected Outstanding Sophomore, while Julie Lord received the Outstanding Junior and Most Valuable Player awards. Laura Gillespie was named Outstanding Senior.
