Visness adds NCAA record
WINONA, Minn. — Concordia-Moorhead's Jamie Visness was perfect on another four free throws at St. Mary's (Minn.) on Sunday afternoon, breaking the NCAA record for consecutive free throws made. She finished with 68 in a row.

She passed Ginny Doyle's record, set from 1990-91 to 1991-92 for Division I Richmond.

She needs two to pass Valerie Kepner's women's collegiate basketball streak of 69, eight of which came for Lake Erie in 1987-88, which was not an NCAA member at a time. Kepner also held the Division III record before Visness broke it Saturday at Carleton.

Visness made her final 12 free throws last season, and is currently 56-for-56 for the 2002-03 season.

The streak, which started on January 28, 2002 against St. Catherine, spans the course of 29 games. She has made free throws in 21 of those 29 games, and has played a total of 646 minutes during the streak. Concordia is 15-14 during the 29 games during in the streak. Her last miss was Jan. 9, 2002, against Macalester.

Visness tied Doyle's record midway through the first half. Her record-breaking free throw came with 13:05 left in the game, and was one of only a handful of attempts that have hit the rim. Her second attempt went cleanly through the basket to further the NCAA record to 68.

Elsewhere, Devean George returned to Augsburg to have his number retired, and we have a photo gallery to prove it. No Jared Mills? No problem for No. 3 Randolph-Macon as the Yellow Jackets roll past Virginia Wesleyan 69-49. And Savannah Art & Design won for the 14th consecutive time, beating Newport News 64-60. SCAD has just one regular-season game left, on Monday against St. Mary's (Md.). In women's action, No. 7 Scranton beat No. 8 King's 61-55 for its first win against the Monarchs since February 2001, while No. 20 UW-Stevens Point needed a layup in the final second to beat UW-Platteville.
