I Lady Game to Virginia By STEVE JOHNSON Sports Editor In a disappointing road loss in Blacksburg, Va., the Lady Gamecocks (11-4) were upset by Metro rival Virginia Tech (5-9) by a score of 69-67. The loss for USC is the lone blemish on an otherwise untarnished Metro Conference record (3-1). The Lady Hokies improved their Metro record to 3-2. Senior guard Jeni Garber paced the Lady Hokies with 16 points, and junior guard/forward Dayna Sonovick added 15 points, including Virginia Tech's final points at :25 remaining in the game. Sophomore center Marsha Williams topped her per game average of 16.2 points by scoring 22 in the loss. Williams' contribution led the Lady Gamecocks for the day and solidified her place among the Metro's leading scorers. Williams was the sixth-leading scorer in the league entering Saturday's contest USC led Virginia Tech 33-25 with 5:25 remaining in the first half. Then the Lady Hokies struck back. The Hokies responded by scoring the next eight points of the half to tie the score at halftime, 33-33.

Sonovick retaliated for Virginia Tech by scoring the next six points to push the Lady Hokies on top for good with :25 remaining. USC countered with three shots from the charity stripe and a tip-in with :02 to close the scoring in the game and bring the final score to 69-67. The Lady Gamecocks have a chance to redeem themselves tonight as they take on the Florida State Lady Seminoles at 7:00 p.m. at Carolina Coliseum. The Lady Seminoles' attack features the leading scorer in the Metro, senior guard Wanda Burns. Burns, who is averaging 19.5 points per game, will provide one of the toughest challenges of the season for either USC senior guard Karen Middleton or junior guard Lori Joyner. Most likely Middleton or Joyner will draw the assignment of trying to contain the explosive shooting of Burns. In addition to scoring from the field, Burns is also the seventh-leading free throw shooter at 77.6 percent and ranks fourth in assists with 4.3 apg in the Metro. If the Lady Gamecocks should concern themselves too much with containing Burns, the Lady Seminoles will exploit a multiplecoverage defensive scheme by dumping the ball off to one of their other chief scorers: sophomore forward Chantelle Dishman. Dishman has connected on 66.4 percent of her field goals and aver. ages 17.8 points per game. Florida State and USC went into J ?.

The Buffalo Bills had the nohuddle and the Los Angeles Raiders had no chance. The Bills, seemingly unable to wait to get to Tampa for their first Super Bowl, didn't huddle, didn't try to eat up the clock and didn't take one step backward Sunday in a record-setting 51-3 rout of the Los Angeles Raiders for the AFC Championship. The Bills (15-3) used an awesome array of offensive precision and defensive power in running up the most points in an AFL or NFL playoff game since the San Diego Chargers beat the Boston Patriots 51-10 in 1964. They overwhelmed the Raiders from the beginning, scoring a record 41 points in the First half, operating almost exclusively from the no-huddle attack and the shotgun. Thurman Thomas ran over, around and through the befuddled Raiders as the Bills piled up 503 total yards. Thomas showed exactly why he led the NFL in total yardage with 170 yards in the opening half. He finished with 138 rushing, five rer ?-\ 1- ? - 1 J uvpuwua iui 01 yams anu scored the second touchdown on a 12-yard run, untouched after the Bills's line opened a massive hole. The only time Thomas wasn't doing damage to the usually staunch LA defense was when Kenneth Davis was running in for scores of 1 and 3 yards. Or when 1 James Lofton, cut by the Raiders in 1989, was catching TD passes ' of 13 and 8 yards from Jim Kelly, who wound up 17-of-23 for 300 yards. 1 MIND YOU THAT THE UI NEWSPAPER IS MADE UTION OF THE UNITED THE CONSTITUTION The words we live by rite: Constitution, Washington, D.C. 20599.

Davis also had a 1-yard TD run in the fourth quarter. It was the Bills' first championship since winning the AFL title in 1965, the year before the first Super Bowl. They lost in the 1966 and 1988 conference championship games. The Raiders (12-5) lost at Rich Stadium 38-24 in the regular season when Buffalo scored 24 points in the fourth quarter. This time, in their first AFC title game since the '83 season, the Raiders were out of it in the second quarter. Raiders quarterback Jay Schroeder's was 8-for-20 for 100 yards with two interceptions in the decisive first half. He also began the second half by throwing two more interceptions, and finished just 13 of 31 for 150 yards. The five interceptions tied the AFC playoff record by the Houston Oilers' Dan Pastorini against the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1979 and by the New York Jets' Richard Todd against the Miami Dolphins in 1983. The Bills intercepted a sixth pass, off backup quarterback Vince Evans, in the fading moments of the fourth quarter ? the most by one team since the ALL and NrL merger. The all-time record is eight by the Chicago Bears in their 73-0 victory over the Washington Redskins for the 1940 NFL championship. ^CENSORED ! POSSIBLE BY STATES.
