Lady Game ACHIIW HUNT Asst. Sports bailor Once again, the Lady Gamecocks 1 (16-11,2-9) came close to pulling off a 1 big upset, but the Chicken Curse reared t its ugly head again as a lane violation * cost Shannon Johnson one of her two 1 free throws with one tenth of a second * left in the game against Alabama (206,7-4) on Thursday night. 1 The regular season finale was a ' different story as the Lady Gamecocks ' overcame a five-point halftime deficit 1 and used the hot shooting of senior Natalie < Funderburk and junior Trese Hickey to ^ control the game in the second half. 1 The Alabama game was a seesaw 1 affair from the start as neither team made a serious run in the game. The 1 Lady Gamecocks rode a wave of 11 three ' pointers as they kept the score close with 1 Alabama the entire game. "We had a well-played game, and ( our outside shooting was tremendous," ' Coach Nancy Wilson said after the game. I "Heather was excellent, and Shannon 1 played an overall excellent game." Sophomore Heather Godfrey was hot 1 as she hit five three-point shots en route 1 to a career high 15 points. "My role here tonight was to go out there and shoot the ball," Godfrey said ' after the game. "I did my job, but we 1 were not fortunate enough to win against this tough team." Shannon Johnson was quite brilliant as she scored 23 points and was the team leader as she paced the offensive tempo I for the Lady Gamecocks. She had the opportunity to win the game at the freethrow line, but a lane violation by Heather Godfrey only afforded her the opportunity to tie the game. ' "We got in there and made it to overtime with one of the top teams in the country and showed them that we are competitive," Johnson said. "About the lane violation, it was the right call, and it was a mental error. We need to learn from it and play even tougher next time." This was a well-played game, and Shannon was great all-around," Wilson said after the game. "We made a close game out of it and gained some valuable confidence for the postseason tournament this year in this game." Thomas Cooper Library has added a n to our computer workstations.
