Western Oregon Women Whip Concordia
B y D anny B ell
In a game that was marred by
high turnovers: 27 for Western and
32 by Concordia. 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". It could
