The Guilfordiftn Quakers Come a Long Way: Finish Season 23-10 The Guilford College Quakers finished out the season two weeks ago with a 65-61 overtime loss to Winston-Salem State in the finals of the NAIA District 26 Tournament. It was a tough one to lose as it knocked the Quakers out of a trip to Kansas City and a shot at the NAIA National Championship. Just getting to the district finals took a super effort by the Guilford squad. Two weeks ago the Quakers were involved in the Carolinas Conference Tourney and needed a good showing to qualify for District play. The Quakers made a good show ing as they made it to the finals, beating Catawba 95-86 and Pfeiffer 82-69. However, they lost to High Point 82-80 in the finals. Elton Gross and Gary Devlin led the Quakers in the Conference tourney and both were selected to the All-Tournament Team. In the first round of District 26 play, High Point and Guilford went at it again with the Quakers coming out on top 58-55. The next night the Quakers faced the Gardner- Webb Bulldogs who were March 21,1978 Intramurals Tally Toward Tournament By VAN MASSEY As of Friday, March 17, t there were three undefeated mens intramural basketball teams, one in each league. These teams are Milner 2S-A, the Crazy Cubans, and Bryan IN. Behind them are Coving ton's Cowboys, Day Hops A, and Milner IS-B, each with a 5-1 record. There could easily be some upsets among these top teams after Sunday nights games between Milner 2S-A and Milner IS-B, and between Covington's Cowboys and the Urban Center team. In Women's basketball, it appeared that the regular season would end in a three way tie for the first place between "The Brewery," and Shore and Faculty/Staff. However, such was not the case as Binford 111 was led by Patty Friel to a come-from behind upset victory over Shore last Thursday. The final standings in regular season women's play are: 1. Faculty/Staff 6-1 The Brewery 6-1 3. Shore 5-2 4. Binford 111 4-3 Dana /Day Hops 4-3 6. Binford II 2-5 7. Hobbs 1-6 8. binford I 0-7 All teams, men and women, except for the teams that have forfeited out, should be sure to get copies of the schedule of the post-season tourna ment. Most team captains have several copies and Mrs. Clark, in the gym, has some also. i tied for second in the NAIA rankings with Winston-Salem State. Guilford played a great game against an outstanding team and came up with a 62-59 win to put them in the finals. Four Seniors played their last game for the men's team against WSSU. They were Elton Gross, Mike Cherry, Steve Rosenberry and Paul Dreschler. Only two seniors will be graduating off the women's team but they are All-Confer ence selections Cyd Atkins and Donna Rogers.
