Coverage of the women's Final Four '99 Second round game stories |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EWING, N.J. -- The College of New Jersey still isn’t sure exactly what hit it. After the Lions allowed only one opponent as many as 60 points during the season, Gallaudet (24-5) swept in on the heels of a winter storm for an 81-71 win, knocking off the Atlantic region’s No. 1 seed in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Junior center Ronda Jo Miller had one of the most dominating performances of her storied career, connecting on 15 of her first 18 shots from the field, en route to a 38-point performance. Miller added 11 rebounds, four blocks, three steals, and three assists. Senior forward Jessica Whitney continued her inspired tournament play, pulling down 11 rebounds. Touria Ouahid scored 13 points, including a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line. A second half surge by the Bison put the game away, and turned Packer Hall into a raucous, rollicking party for hundreds of Gallaudet fans who had made the trip north. "We dictated the pace out there," said Gallaudet head coach Kitty Baldridge. "Even when we fell behind early, our team didn’t panic or lose focus." After Miller scored the game’s first six points, New Jersey settled into its rhythm which produced a 25-1 record going into the contest. Jen Hutchinson’s barrage of three-point shots swept New Jersey into the lead, as she was 4-for-5 from three-point range in the first half. The Lions led by 11 points midway through the period, a sight familiar to the home crowd which has seen New Jersey allow an average of only 43.9 points per game. However, the Bison began to claw their way back. A swarming, speedy Gallaudet defense chased the Lions all over the court. Trailing 28-21, Gallaudet scored the next 10 points to take the lead, and outscored New Jersey 22-6 for the remainder of the half, taking a 43-34 lead to the locker room. New Jersey managed only two field goals over the first half’s final 7:30. In that span, Gallaudet guards Ronda Johnson (four steals), Touria Ouahid, and Therese Rollven were relentless on defense, forcing several New Jersey turnovers. And when the ball found its way into Miller’s hands, its next stop was usually through the hoop, as she outscored all five New Jersey starters combined. In the second half, Gallaudet swarmed all over Hutchinson, who missed her first five three-point attempts. New Jersey found no relief inside, either, as Miller, Whitney, and Jenny Cooper owned the paint. The Bison’s lead swelled to 20 points with 9:33 remaining, and Gallaudet was never threatened the rest of the way. New Jersey’s final futile rally in the game’s final minute was too little, too late.
Rowan 72, Colby-Sawyer
50 Guard Krissi Diachisin led Colby-Sawyer with 14 points. Center Meg Donnelly contributed 12 points on six for 10 shooting. Guard Michelle Dailey added seven points and a game-high five assists. The score was tied at four in the first half at the 17:13 mark. The Profs went on an 11-0 run for a 15-4 lead at 12:04. Dunbar paced Rowan with five points in the surge while Edwards had the first four. Leading by 11 points (29-18) at 4:39, the Profs scored seven consecutive points for a 36-18 advantage with 17 seconds left. Edwards ignited the run with a three-point play and capped the drive with a basket. Rowan led at halftime, 36-20. Dunbar and Pointin-Hahn each had nine first half points. Diachisin scored eight for the Chargers. In the second half, Dailey made a free throw at the 10:45 mark to cut the deficit to 13 (44-31). But the Chargers could not get closer than that the rest of the way. The Profs' largest lead of the game was 22 points with the final score of 72-50. MacNeill had 10 points and 11 rebounds in the final half for Rowan. Donnelly had eight points and five rebounds for Colby-Sawyer.
DePauw 67, Austin 62 The Tigers, seeded first in the South Region, held on in the closing moments to defeated fifth-seed Austin College of Sherman, Texas, 67-62 in an NCAA second-round game. The Tigers took their biggest lead of the game at 61-52 with 5:11 remaining on Bender’s layup before the Kangaroos scored six straight to cut the gap to three at 61-58 with 2:22 left. Amy Hasbrook’s layup with 1:49 left made it 63-58 and Austin’s Natasha Rodgers answered with a layup 12 seconds later to cut the gap to three again. Paula Boback’s two free throws with 42 seconds left put the lead back to five before Rodgers cut the margin again to three with a pair of charity tosses with 25 seconds left. Kelly Morrison, the leading free throw shooter in Division III at 90.0 percent, sealed the victory with two free throws with 16 seconds left. The teams battled through a tight first half that included five ties and three lead changes and ended with the score deadlocked at 28-28. DePauw gained the lead for good on Kelly Bailey’s jumper with 16:11 remaining in the game, but the margin never reached double digits. Morrison, one of 10 Jostens Division III Player of the Year finalists, scored 12 and Bailey added 11. Hasbrook grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds. Austin guard Marisa Hesse (Sr. Loveland, Texas/Loveland), also a Jostens finalist, led the Kangaroos with 22 before fouling out with 42 seconds left. She scored 15 of the Kangaroos’ 28 points in the first half. Rachel McNamara (Jr., Tulsa, Okla./Edition) added 20 and Rogers had 10. The Tigers held a 41-29 advantage on the boards. The win for the Tigers extended their school-record win streak to 17 and lifted their overall mark to 22-4. Austin finishes the season at 20-7.
Elizabethtown 77, Johns Hopkins
53 With the win, the Blue Jays advance to meet New York University in the NCAA Sweet Sixteen round next Friday. The Mid-Atlantic sectional semifinals and finals will be held on March 12-13 with site and times to be determined by the NCAA on Sunday. NYU downed St. Lawrence on Saturday, 59-48. Abbie Fabian added 14 points and six boards for E-town (25-3) while Kim Boback tossed in 13 points and Shauntae Stancil scored 12. The Blue Jays are in the NCAA Round of 16 for the first time since winning the national championship in 1989. Marjahna Segers led Johns Hopkins with 11 points and a game-high 17 rebounds while Centennial Conference Player of the Year Leslie Ritter added ten points and six assists. The Centennial Conference champions wrapped up their season with a 23-5 record. After a ragged first half in which the team's combined to shoot 22-for-58 (37.9%) and commit 23 turnovers, E-town came out of the locker room with a 15-7 run to take charge. Jen Deaderick pulled Johns Hopkins within 31-28 with the first basket of the half, but Fabian responded with a layup and short jumper to make it 35-28. Ritter hit a layup to pull Hopkins within five, but Chiles scored on a drive to the basket and converted a pair of free throws to give E-town a 39-30 edge with 15:59 remaining. On the following Johns Hopkins possession, Erin Perry converted a three-point play to make it a 39-33, but that was as close as the visitors would get down the stretch. E-town went on a 7-0 run with three points from Chiles and four from Boback to make it 46-33 with 13:38 left. Perry sank two free throws to pull JHU within 11, but a layup by Fabian and four more points from Chiles helped E-town build a 52-38 lead with 11:05 to play. Johns Hopkins could get no closer than 12 points the rest of the way. With her 12-point performance, Stancil became the eighth player in program history to reach 1,300 career points. Boback's 13-point effort helped her move into ninth place on the all-time scoring list with 1,297 points. E-town, which entered the game with the sixth-best field goal shooting percentage in Division III, shot 27-for-57 (47.4%) from the floor on the game while holding Johns Hopkins to a 19-for-61 (31.1%) performance, including 4-for-26 (15.4%) from three-point range. The win also helped the Blue Jays avenge a 64-57 home loss to Johns Hopkins in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 1997.

Simpson battled back from the 11-point deficit to take a 54-52 lead with 4:20 to go. The Lutes' Lucy Barker hit one of her three threes on the night to put PLU ahead for good with a little under three minutes left in the game. Pacific Lutheran pushed the lead to 60-54 before Kristy Norman hit a three pointer at the buzzer to make it the final 60-57. Norman, a senior from Newton, Iowa, led all scorers with 18 points. She set a school record for highest three-point percentage in a game (100%, 4-for-4) to close her Simpson career. Jamie Rustad had 14 points and a game high 11 rebounds for the Storm. PLU was led by Becky Franza who was perfect from beyond the three-point arc (4-4) and had 13 points. Tara Millet, the Northwest Conference MVP, was limited by foul trouble, but posted 10 points. The Lutes improve to 21-5 while Simpson had a school record 24-game winning streak halted. The Storm finish the season 24-2. The Lutes will play Hardin-Simmons in the sweet 16 round at St. Benedict.
Williams 72, Bowdoin 58 Williams came out strong in the early going, as Rebecca Brooks hit consecutive layups to give the Ephs a 6-0 lead. Bowdoin came right back, though, behind the long-range shooting of Monika Dargin. Dargin made two three pointers in the first five minutes to push the Polar Bears ahead by one at the 14:50 mark of the first half. The Bowdoin lead did not last long, however, as the Ephs went on a 20-9 run, capped by a three-pointer by Robyn Goldman, giving Williams a 29-19 lead with just under five minutes left in the period. The Ephs maintained the ten point lead at 33-23 going into halftime. The second half saw Williams hold onto their lead as Bowdoin tried to press and get back in the game. The Ephwomen repeatedly broke the Bear's press and still led by ten points, 50-40, at the second half's ten minute mark. Williams' Kathleen Higgins then hit back-to-back three point baskets to extend the Williams lead to 13. Though Bowdoin kept it close down the stretch, they could only get within seven of the Ephs. Williams shot eight of nine from the free throw line in the last four minutes to ice the victory. Williams shot 50% from the field on the game, while Bowdoin only hit for 32%. The Ephs also had a large lead from the free throw stripe, sinking 15 of 22 attempts, while the Bears managed only 6-for-12 shooting. The Ephs had four players score in double figures, led by Goldman who had 19 including 3-for-5 shooting from three point range. Higgins tallied 14, while Rebecca Brooks and Liz Tilley chipped in 12 and 10, respectively. Erin Duffy had a team-high 11 rebounds and contributed nine points. Tilley and Higgins each dished out six assists. Dargin paced the Polar Bears, who finish their season with a 19-6 record, with a game-high 22 points on 8-for-17 shooting. She made five three pointers on the night. Cynthia Maxwell was the other Bowdoin player in double digits, finishing with 10 points. Alli Marshall and Lauren Myers led the team with five boards each, while Samantha Good passed off five assists. Williams takes its 24-1 record into next Friday's NCAA quarterfinals. The Ephs have won 16 games in a row, tying a school record.
Salem State 53, Southern Maine 46 The loss eliminated the Huskies from the tournament and ended their season with a 25-4 record. Salem State, which advances on to play Gallaudet, improves to 26-1 overall and has won 22 straight. The Vikings were clinging to a two-point lead (41-39) after Southern Maine senior Destiny Demo scored with 3:50 remaining. After Salem State junior center Kara Lunden and Southern Maine sophomore Jess Hopkins traded points to make it 43-41, the Vikings took control as Lunden scored on an offensive rebound with 2:25 to play, and junior Dee Jackson scored on a fast break to open up a six-point lead (47-41) with 48 seconds to play. Salem State converted six-of-six free throws in the final seconds while the Huskies could only counter with two free throws and a three-point basket by Julie Plant. The teams battled back and forth through a low-scoring first half before the Vikings put together a 6-0 run over the final four minutes to take a 23-20 to the locker room. Sophomore guard Melissa Smock scored 12 of her team-high 15 points in the opening half, including the last four. Senior Tracy Libby led the Huskies with 15 points, and Plant finished with 14 points. Lunden finished with 12 points for the Vikings. Jackson scored all 10 of her points in the second half, and grabbed a game-high 12 rebounds. Both teams shot poorly as the Huskies made only 33% (18-for-54) of their shots while Salem State shot just 29% (17-for-58).
Capital 82, Defiance 72 Each team tried to establish itself early as the opening nine minutes of the game featured 5 ties and 4 lead changes before Defiance took the lead on a Mandy Crain three-pointer 16-15 with 11:06 to go in the half. Defiance would not relinquish the lead and post a 4-point margin at the half, 36-32. Capital came out on fire to start the second half posting a 13-3 run to make the score 45-39 with 16:00 minutes remaining. Defiance would get within 2 points on four occasions over the next eight minutes but could not take advantage. Then the well would run dry as the Lady Jackets went on a 4:30 second scoring drought, while Capital went on an 8-0 run to go up 68-57 and take control. Defiance would attempt one more burst but 10 made free throws for Capital put the game away and secured the 82-72 final. Defiance shot just 35.2% (25-for-71) for the game and only 11-for-35 in the second half (31.4%) as they matched their lowest scoring game of the season. To it in perspective, Defiance has had four home losses since 1994, a span of 64 home games, and three of those four losses have been to Capital. Today a span of 20 home court victories are wrapped around by two Capital losses, today and the home opener of the 1997-98 season on November 25 (70-66). Annette Rue in her final game led the Lady Jackets with 14 points. She was followed by fellow senior Jenny Timbrook with 12. Amanda Lafontaine and Jennifer Wachtman each chipped in 11, and rounding out the double figure scorers was Mandy Crain with 10. Capital was led by the twin towers of Kendra Meyer and LeAnn Mallernee, each scored 20 points while Meyer hauled in 15 boards and Mallernee had 9 rebounds as they proved to be the difference in the post. Defiance ends it season at 22-5 as the 22 victories ties for the third highest total in school history. Capital (24-4) will advance to the quarterfinals next week.
Washington U. 75, Wheaton (Ill.) 38 Saturday's game featured CCIW Player of the Year Kerry Cole and UAA Player of the Year and Team of the Year center Alia Fischer.

UW-Oshkosh 70, UW-Eau Claire 60 UW-Oshkosh (26-1), which trailed 27-26 at halftime, shot 66.7% (14-for-21) from the field in the second half to pull away. The Titans concluded the game shooting 61.0% (25-for-41). UW-Eau Claire (23-5) finished the game shooting 35.5% (22-62) from the field to mark the 53rd time in 54 games that a UW-Oshkosh opponent has shot less than 50% from the field.

Calvin 75, Baldwin-Wallace 67 Heading into the contest, Calvin was ranked 12th nationally in defensive field goal percentage, holding opponents to 33.2% shooting from the floor while Baldwin-Wallace led the country in offensive field goal percentage at a red-hot 51.6% field goal clip. On Saturday however, it was the Knights who were truly offensive as they blistered the Ursprung Gymnasium Fieldhouse with a season-high 58.8 percent field goal clip to upset the fifth-ranked Yellow Jackets 75-67 and advance to the NCAA III Tournament "Sweet 16" round for the first time in school history. The Calvin victory snapped a 20-game winning streak by Baldwin-Wallace which saw its season come to an end at 26-2. The victory was Calvin's second over Baldwin-Wallace in NCAA III Tournament play in the last three years as the Knights had scored a 58-55 first round triumph at Ursprung Gymnasium in 1997. Calvin entered Saturday's game as the fourth seed in the Great Lakes Regional Field while Baldwin-Wallace was seeded first. Calvin improved to 24-5 with Saturday's triumph, setting a new single-season record for victories and will now face UW-Oshkosh out the Central Region Friday night at 7:30 pm at the Calvin Fieldhouse. Calvin's offensive display against Baldwin-Wallace came on the heels of its second-worst shooting performance of the year as the Knights struggled through a 35.5 percent outing in a 60-50 first round victory over Ohio Wesleyan Wednesday night. "If someone told me before today's game that we would have our best shooting performance of the year on the floor of the best shooting team in the country I would have never believed it," said Calvin coach Gregg Afman after the game. "I am so proud of every one of my kids. It took a total team effort to get the win today and to get to the Sweet 16 for the first time is just a thrill for our players and Calvin College." Junior Mindi Andringa was the catalyst for the Calvin upset as she came up with the finest all-around performance of her collegiate career as she matched a career scoring high with 24 points on 9-for-11 shooting while dishing out seven assists against just two turnovers in 39 minutes of action. Senior center Kerry Walters of South Christian High School was close behind as she poured in 222 points including 16 in the second half. "We came into the game knowing that we were the underdogs but we weren't scared," said Andringa. "We had a quiet confidence about us beforehand that everyone could see in each other's eyes." Saturday marked the fourth consecutive year that Walters had played in second round NCAA III Tournament game and the experience payed off for the fifth-year senior. "This was our fourth consecutive year in the tournament and that boosted our confidence," said Walters. "We came really close to getting to the next step last year but lost on a last-second shot (to third-ranked Mount Union) and we knew that we were capable of winning this game." Calvin shot 57% from the floor in the first half with Andringa scoring 18 points but the Knights still trailed at the break 36-35. Walters then took over with an assortment of post moves to open the second half as she scored 10 points in the first six and a half minutes to ignite a 19-6 Calvin scoring run that vaulted the Knights into a 54-42 lead with 13:25 remaining. Baldwin-Wallace answered with a 12-4 scoring run to close to within four at 58-54 with 8:26 remaining and would later creep to within three at 60-57 with 6:09 left. Calvin junior Jill Kreuze came back with a clutch jumper off the glass in traffic a minute later though to give Calvin a five point lead at 62-57. Walters and Andringa then nailed back-to-back jumpers in the next two minutes to give Calvin a 66-59 advantage. Baldwin-Wallace came back with one final surge, closing to within two at 67-65 with 2:01 left to play but could not tie or take the lead as Calvin converted a perfect eight of eight form the free throw line in the final 1:44 of regulation while holding the Yellow Jackets to a single field goal in the closing seconds to seal the victory. Baldwin-Wallace had five players in double-figures in scoring as Anjee Beard had 15 while Julie Work and Jen Swinheart had 11 points each and Emily Clark and Jodi Reimer 10 points apiece. Baldwin-Wallace shot 49.1% on the game but just 37.9% in the second half. Critical to Calvin's defensive fortunes was the play of senior guard Jodi Toonstra as she shadowed Swinheart throughout the game, holding the OAC Player of the Year five points under her season scoring average. "Jodi is the best defensive player I have coached," said Afman. "Jenny Swinheart is a tremendous player but Jodi made her work for every one of her 11 points and that was a huge factor in our victory." Afman also had words of praise for junior forwards Jill Kreuze and Lauren Louters who also turned in stellar defensive efforts. "Jill Kreuze and Lauren Louters were two more unsung heroes for us throughout the game," said Afman. "They gave us terrific defensive efforts and did so many little things that don't necessarily show up in the box score but were big keys to our success. Again, it was a total team effort that allowed us to gain the win today." Afman also cited Calvin's respect for Baldwin-Wallace. "Baldwin-Wallace has a outstanding basketball team and we are thrilled to come out of here with a victory because of the high respect we have for their players and their program," he said. "They are extremely well-coached and they showed a lot of class with the way they congratulated our players after the game. I tip my hat off to Coach (Cheri) Harrer and their players for a tremendous season." Calvin was led in rebounding by Toonstra who finished with nine boards while also dishing out five assists. Junior Robyn Fennema added nine points and four rebounds off the bench for the Knights. Calvin finished the game with 20 assists against just 14 turnovers while also finishing with a 29-24 rebounding edge. |
