year after posting a 10- 16 record

In his first year at the controls
during the 1969-90 season,
Childers guided the Cardinals to
a 17-12 finish The turnaround,
4-24 to 17-12, was the second

This year the Cardinals have
been led by two key players
throughout the season. Guard
Leatrice Scott and forward
Kristin Mattox have combined

Although the Cardinals’ stntis
ti< sheets show balance in the
three players averaging double
digits in scoring while four are
averaging 1.5 thefts, the team's
shooting percentage is another
story As a team. Louisville is
only hitting 42 percent of its
shots from the field, with its
highest shooter for percentage
being a non-starter — freshman

As their offense struggles at
times, the Cardinals defense is
their cornerstone This season
Louisville has allowed oppo

the edge over their opponents in

The Ducks' offense is one that
should give Childers and his
team fits as Oregon has four
players averaging double digits
in scoring, all combining for 58
points a game between them

ability comes a wide range of

On defense there is no let
