The Mustangs were unable to shake their nerves and control the tempo, losing 45-57 and allowing the Rockets to remain undefeated in the Columbia Basin Conference. Score-wise, the contest got a slow start with both teams putting up an opponent-fuzzing full court press. Pressure by Lacey Matteson forced Pilot Rock turnovers, while San Juanita Elguezabal was able to anticipate Rocket passes for steals. Using intense man-to-man pressure on the defensive end, the Mustangs kicked in a scoring frenzy in the second quarter. Jenni Patton went after rebounds with a fury and Meghan Bailey hit a trey to put Heppner ahead 15-13. Converted free throws helped the Mustangs extend their lead to six, a 25-19 Heppner advantage at the half time break. The Rockets turned the tables in the third quarter, repeatedly forcing Mustang turnovers to overtake Heppner, 25-26, toward the end of the period. Pilot Rock was able to capitalize on poor passes to increase the lead to * eight, 31 - 39, at the quarter's end. Matteson exploded with eight . of her 16 points for the Mustangs in the fourth, but because of the deadly combination of turnovers, as well as the necessity of forcing the Rockets to the freethrow line in the attempt to gain possession, the Heppner squad was unable to overcome the deficit, and lost the effort. The Rocket coaches substitute freely from a deep bench. They are quick and aggressive, but tended to be inconsistent. The Mustangs are already looking fo|ward to revengipg tips., loss‘when'they host th^ Rtofckets* on Friday, February , .16y Heppner's last home game of the season.
