After losing a tough one on
Wednesday, the Clackamas
women’s basketball team
played “their best half of
basketball of the season” on
Friday to claim victory.
On Wednesday the Cougs
were plagued by that old
nemesis by the name of “Slip-’
pery R. Fingers,” as the
women threw the ball away a
total of 38 times to Blue Moun­
tain. Not only did the Cougs
throw away the ball, but also
the game as they fell 48-34,
“Turnovers were a big factor
in the game,” said Cougar
mentor Nancy Mikleton. “Also
our free throws
were a
significant factor; we hit 10 of
21 but the ones we missed
made the difference.”
Clackamas hit only on 12 of
53 shots from the field in com­
parison to visiting Blue Moun­
tain’s 14 of 45 and, while
neither team shot that well
from the floor, Blue Mountain’s
20 points scored at the foul line
made the difference.
The Cougars were led in
Scoring by Cindy Kirkpatrick
and Nancy Perkins who scored
10 and nine points respectively
while Liz Cahill pumped for 13
to lead Blue Mountain.
