W estern Oregon State managed to pull ahead in the second half to secure the win 67-54. W ith only one senior on the com bined rosters for both teams one could see the inexperience in the ball han dling of both teams. W estern Oregon came out with a full court press in the first half that seemed to confused and unrattle the Cavaliers. To their credit Concordia played a spirited game, but the defense and height of the Wolves made the differ ence in the second half as Western pulled away to end the game with a 13 point margin of victory. Sandie Graves of W estern was able to use her 6 ’ 1" height advantage on the inside as she scored 18 points in 22 minutes of play. Rena Ramirez was the bright spot for the Cavaliers, scoring 27 points, and was 3 for 6 from 3 point land. “I thought we played a really sloppy game during the tirst halt but we picked it up during the second" said Western coach Rusty Rogers “We were into the penalty midway in the second half and I think thats where we beat them, ...probably at the foul line,” In fact W estern was 14 of 19 from the foul line in the second half and they went to the foul line a total of 33 times compared to 10 for the Cavaliers. Anothei mitigating factor for Concordia was the play of Felicia Poc, Concordia’s point guard, she turned her ankle toward the end of the first half and the ball handling chores fell on Camille Adana a fresh man who was not as heady about the game. It was then that Western began to make headway, and gained the lead. “We played hard for a full forty minutes. “This is first time this year that we have done that” said first year coach D aryle B roadsw ord. “We didn’t make a few shots and that was the difference in the game".
