contributions made by each of

"It was a good team effort,
especially for the first game of
the season," Day said. "We
were able to run our plays
fairly well until they started

was the pressing defense
which forced several turn
overs late in the game.
"The press worked well but
we hadn't practiced it much so
I was reluctant to go with it
earlier," LaRue said. "We
had some problems dropping
back into the man-to-man
coverage after coming out of
the zone press."
LaRue said, his team had
trouble reacting to the situa
tions at hand and capitalizing
on the opportunities.
"They just weren't able to
relax at all and when the first
few shots didn't drop, things
just got worse, LaRue said.
