In what can be referred to as a
painful squeeker the Belle hoopers
suffered a 59-62 defeat at home
againstBarber-ScotiaCollege Jan.
30.
The Belles could have won if
they had played as hard as they did
against Winston-Salem State," said
Head Coach Joyce Spruill.
“I was hurt by that game,”
Spruill said.
"I think we took them [Barber-
Scotia] for granted. We weren’t
the same team that played against
Winston-Salem State," Spruill
added.
By the half, Bennett was only
down by one point, with a score of
21-22 due to the efforts of guard
Dain Magodo and forward An
drea JenerretL Both added six
points and recovered four re
bounds.
"If we had played the begin
ning like the end it wouldn’t
have been a contest,” Spruill
said.
Near tLe end of the second
half, a miracle happened. Five-
four guard, Dain Magodo, a se
nior from Zimbabwe attempted
to put the Belles back in the
game by adding two points dur
ing the last 15 seconds of the
game to put the score at 59-60,
with Barber-Scotia holding on
to a 1-point lead.
Magodo’s efforts were in
vain because the Belle hoopers
couldn’t pull it out.
By the fourth quarter, the
game took a turn for the worse
when the Belle defense grew
weak, andBarber-Scotia began
to pump in three pointers.
Barber-Scotia’s Head Coach
Deonia Simmons only has six
players and Bennett has 13
which put his team under a lot
of pressure. He said he felt like
he pulled it off considering he
didn’t have any body else to
play when those six players got
tired.
“Through God all things are
possible, with six players we
did what wehad to do and pulled
through,” Simmons said.
Leading scorers include
Magodo, who finished with 30
points and five rebounds and
Sonya Washington of Barber
Scotia had 21 points and six
rebounds.
The Belles now have a 3-8
record.

The Belle Hoopers fell
short by 10 points Jan. 29
when they lost a home game
to Winston-Salem State, 63-
73.
During the first half the
Belles came out in full force
and were only down by two
points by the end of the half
with a score of 33-31.
Conmienting on their
strong showing. Head Coach
Joyce Spruill said that they
played like a “real team.”
During the second half of
the game the Belles came out
tired and struggled to hold
the lead.
“The Winston-Salem
State game was a hard game
but we should have won it,”
Spruill said.
Coach Debra Clark said she
thought Bennett played well and
Vimbayi Muhomah a
freshwoman from Bennett had a
lot of quickness.
“Bennett made us struggle,”
Clark said. We had to go from
man to man defense to zone.”
Anna Mhaka a freshwoman
from Zimbabwe led the Belles
with 25 points, 22 points from
Vimbayi Muhomah, also from
Zimbabwe.
Muhomah said she didn’t feel
satisfied with the game and felt
she did something wrong.
“When we lose a game I al
ways feel there is something
wrong I did as a player and I’m
never satisfied with how I play,”
Muhomah said.
