Men's basketball finishes season
By Scott Bradford
The Guilford College men's
basketball team finished their
regular season last Saturday with
a record of only 6-19, one of the
worst season's in recent history
for the Quakers. Their record in
the Carolinas Conference (3-11)
was good for a seventh place tie
with Elon; a team Guilford beat
Saturday 73-65.
The first half ended with Elon
ahead, 35-30, as both teams were
content to sit back in zone
defenses. In the second half, Elon
cooled off and the Quakers had a
commanding lead 62-52 behind
the inside play of Keith King. But
Elon, not to be denied, pulled
within five (64-59) before Chris
Lambert and Jerry Greenwood
took control from the foul line. It
was foul shots which made the
difference in the game as

tempts and Elon made only 3 of 8.
As usual Ben Barrett led a
balanced scoring attack with 22
points and was followed by
Lambert, 17, King, 15, and Green
wood, 12. The 5'10" Barrett also
contributed a game high 9 re
bounds.
In other action, Guilford scored
a season high 82 points while
trouncing Mars Hill 82-60. After a
lethargic first half, the Quakers
led 36-33. The team raced to a 10
point lead with 13:28 left behind
the sparkling passing of Barrett
and shooting of King. Then,
Bleise Cancro, inserted into the
game at forward, crashed the of
fensive boards for 16 points to
build the lead to 61-46.
In a game which saw everyone
play, Guilford played a bit too
flashy and might have lost a bit of
control of the game if it had not
been for a defense which con

Women's

The Guilford College Women's Soccer club drop
ped a tough 2-1 game to a Chapel Hill club team at
Dudley High School on Sunday, eliminating them
from the qualifying rounds of the Dallas Challenge
Cup Tournament. They will continue their season in
the NC State Soccer Tournament beginning March
17, when they take on the UNC-G club they defeated
in the first round of the recent regional tournament.
The Guilford Women scored against a tough UNC
defense in the early minutes of the first half as
center-forward Gwyn Tracy raced past her
defenders and took full advantage of a one on one
situation with the goalkeeper.
Moments later a scuffle in front of the Guilford
goal left UNC with a penalty kick which hit the
side post and spun passed the outstretched arms of
keeper Mary Benbow. Benbow, however, brushed
that off to play an excellent half - stopping a barrage
of shots from strong footed UNC forwards who, with
the help of a steady wind, kept the ball near the
Guilford goal. With 35 minutes gone, Guilford's op
ponents culminated their offensive play with a suc
cessful high shot at the net, dropping in just below
the cross bar.
Guilford was able to control the ball for most of
the second half with accurate passes and dynamic
defense, but was unable to score again. The 45
minute halves took their toll on the Guilford
women; as the International Rules they play by
limit them to only 2 substitutions per game. Hence,
the exilerating, yet brutally physical game waned
disorganized Mars Hill offense.
The team shot well, 54% from the
floor and 74% from the foul line,
as Cancro was joined in double
figures by Barrett, 14 points,
Mike Apple, 13, Lambert, 11 and
Greenwood, 10.
The Quakers traveled to Atlan
tic Christian where they lost a
close game 59-57. Behind by 7
points at halftime, Guilford was
unable to get closer than two
points and that was how the game
ended. King, Greenwood, and
Barrett combined for 48 of
Guilford's 57 points, with Green
wood hitting 23.
The team then took on big rival
High Point and played much bet
ter than they did earlier in the
season when they lost to High
Point 104-62. This time they lost
only 47-41 with the difference
coming from the foul line where
High Point made 13 attempts as
compared to Guilford's eight.

One on One Basketball
There will be a one on one
basketball tournament for both
guys and girls; if interested in
playing meet in the lobby of the
Ragen Brown Fieldhouse on Mon-
to an end, closing out the club's Ist season with a
Fall record of 2-4-1.
The day was nearly ended early as a discrepancy
arose over the size of the field at Guilford Methodist
Church (where the game was originally scheduled).
To prevent a forfeit the contest was quickly
relocated, thanks to player/coach Lori Blum, to
Dudley High School on the east side of Greensboro.
Last week, at the Methodist Church field, Guilford
won its first round game with UNC-G by a score of
1-0. Jocelyn Whitaker led the club throughout a
tough match, dominated by both sides' defensive
play; she consistently buffetted UNC-G's scoring. It
was the second win of the year, and the first since
coach John Opaleski and assistant Willie "Flash"
joined coach Lori Blum.
With snow on the ground, in the beginning of the
semester, these coaches directed practice for the 25
club members at 7 a.m. in Ragan Brown Fieldhouse
5 days a week. In recent weeks the women have
moved outside, but, due to an untimely reseeding of
the campus fields, they've had to travel 15 minutes
by car 5 days a week to Lindley Elementary School
for practice.
The club, which got off the ground in September,
recently joined the Western Women's Division of
NC Soccer League. Each of the 25 members con
tributed $17.50 for uniforms, league dues, and of
ficiating fees. This week the Executive Committee
(pres.: Wendy Frankie, VP: Debbie Chirtea, Sec.:
Mary Taylor, and Tres.: Linda Thur) and captain
Christy Gaines plan to submit a constitution to the
community senate in hopes of receiving college
recognition and possibly some financial support.
