Using height, speed and ex- a]
perience to dominate every aspect
of the game, the Lady Gamecocks
crushed USC-Aiken 91-42, in their w
final regular season game of the s
season Saturday night.
Working in a zone defense,
Carolina held Aiken scoreless for s
the first four minutes of the game, g
until Faye Ryans sunk a foul shot
to make the score 12-1. Five
minutes and ten Carolina points
later, Ryans connected to score the
first Aiken basket. ?
In the first half the Lady ^
Gamecocks opened their lead even ?
more behind the scoring of Katrina
Anderson, Sheila Foster, and - V
Cynthia Jacobs. Cheryl Autry's six
steals and Rita Johnson's six
assists also helped Carolina. ?
USC coach Pam Parsons employed
two separate squads to keep L
the Gamecocks going and give S
everyone a chance to play. tl
