P aced by s e n io r L in d a Mosbrucker's 20-point performance, the Pioneers controlled the pace from the outset and dumped the Lancers 47-38 in the Sandy gym nasium "T h a t was one of our better games of the season," adm itted Coach John Smith. “ We were able to dictate the tempo better than we have in the past. Our game is a running game and we were able to do that ” Aided by the aggressive defense of ju n io r Sharon Jensen who came off the bench in the second quarter to make two steals and drive the length of the court fo r easy hoops, the Pioneers kept the Lancers at bay after jum ping out to a 12-7 first- quarter lead. But it was clutch shooting by M o s b ru c k e r, who d rille d three straight eight-footers as the half ran down, that boosted the Pioneers from a 21-18 m argin at 1:40 to a 27-18 lead at halftim e. “ She's starting to shoot w ith more confidence,” Smith noted.

But junior C ry s ta l C alkins popped in two straight jumpers from the free throw line area to offset two Reynolds’ tallies and Mosbrucker capitalized on a breakaway pass from Jensen to go into the final quarter nursing a 35-32 edge Smith credited the rebounding of Calkins (7) and Tamee Lindsay (10) w ith making the Pioneer running game go. The two also tallied some key buckets as Calkins finished with 14 and Lindsay scored 6. Jensen rounded out Pioneer scoring with 7 points. For the game, the Pioneers had one of their better shooting nights of the season, h itting 20-50 from the field. At the line, however, it was a different story.
