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."
