uioi 11 - ncMpitci ................... .. ncppiiei, unsyun vveonesaay, September 14, 1994 Cardinals lose first game of season Lady Cards lose opener By Anne Morter The lone lady Cardinals lost their season opener to Pilot Rock last Thursday, September 8, but in the eyes of first year head coach, Charity McElligott, they showed promise. The lady Cards took the visiting Rockets to three games but couldn't quite collect the win as Pilot Rock claimed the match 15-7, 5-15, 16-14. Communication problems and jitters opened the door for the Rockets in the first game. With game time delayed, the Cards looked cold once they finally took the court. The girls struggled to find their rhythm as the Rockets eased to the win. The match took on a different look in the second game where strong front row play by Suzie H eidem an and M elissa McElligott was complimented by Jessica Stefani's hot servng. This time it was the Rockets who found themselves out of contention before they realized what happened. The Cardinals looked ready to finish off the match with a win as they cruised out to a 7-0 lead in the third game. They reached game point while Pilot Rock had only nine points. A couple of calls didn't go the Cardinals' way and coach McElligott noted that the team went into a mode of playing "safely, instead of playing our gam e." That combination of factors was all Pilot Rock need ed to rally for the win. Despite the loss, McElligott has high hopes for the season. With five returning starters and two girls in the 6'0 range she would have to be pleased. " I think we have a very good team and a chance to do good things," she stated. lone Boosters Crushed Rock For Sale plan year 34” minus 1” minus activities 3” base rock B y An n e M o r t e r RHP Photo by Wayne Hams lo n e ’s G reg H oltz outruns W a llo w a d efen d er B y An n e (M o r t e r The lone Cardinals played their first full football game at home last Friday, September 9, losing to defending state cham pion Wallowa, 56-30.
