The Wildcats battled Carolina on even terms until big Danny Traylor started going to the boards late in the first half. Traylor, who grabbed 15 rebounds, scored five points increasing the USC lead to 33-27. Kevin Joyce then scored seven of the next ten Carolina points completing a three point play at the buzzer. "We playet exceptionally well in the first half to get a good lead, the last shot of the half was sensational. It was set up exactly as we wanted it and Joyce took it exactly the way we wanted him to," said Coach Frank McGuire.. Joyce who scored 28 points, with 16 coming in the first half, turned playmaker in the second 20 minutes dealing out six assits. "It was good to beat a Southern Conference team" said Joyce. "I wanted to beat Bruno" (Mike Sorrentino), a teammate of his at Archbishop Molloy High," and I know he wanted to do well against us too. It was a big game for us." When asked if the absence of Tom Riker in the first half due to foul trouble had affected their strategy, Joyce replied, "It hurts when we lose him, he's the point man and the key to our offense. When he goes out I have to go to the boards more." Joyce obviously pleased after a stellar performance talked about the steady improvement of the team this season. "The team is really going strong now, this a new team this year and we all play together. It took a while get used to each other at first." Davidson's Holland dissap pointed because of his team's loss made his post game comments brief, but complimentary. "Kevin Joyce had a great game. He is just a superb player. When he is going like that there isn't much that you can do, and with Riker and Traylor it is awfully tough to get the ball inside on them. We are looking forward to playing them in Charlotte, with Falconi (John) back we think we can beat them."~ Everything for MacRame Candle Making D ecouP age 10 Per Cent OffDecou Page Starter Set 5 Points Handicrafts 610 Harden St. , *0 Aydlett 'Good fir says Mc (Continued from Page 10) the field and a perfect eight for eight mark from the line.

"We pressed, and the fans and the players get all fired up. "I looked at the scoreboard and saw that Riker just had one field goal at half time. When he goes in, the official calls something. He is just a big bodied guy. With calls like that, they take his game away. It's tough to go so long without him and still come out with the win."
