Cougars’ lead down to 15, for

“We got so far ahead we let

nine points.
Jamie Hill and Lou Ann

many assists setting up key
plays.
The Cougars, still riding high
from the previous night’s vk>
tories, faced Lane on their
home soil in what proved to be
a strong confrontation.
“A rollercoaster first half,” is
what Coach Mikleton called the
play of her team. “We played
in streaks,'unable to maintain a
consistency. They would be up
by six, we would close to within
a couple only to lose it again . If
we could have controlled the
ball down the court two or
three times we could have
caught them.”

the game 77-59.
Lou Ann Garvin topped the
night’s effort with 19 points and
nine rebounds, followed close

and nine rebounds.
Nancy Mikleton is quick to
point out her team’s second-
place ranking defensively in the
league.

a three-time champion, a
370-pound heavyweight, and
their practice started a month
