CIAA Report _
Norfolk edges l
Rams close regular season
with two home games
From Staff Reports
For anyone who cares about such things, Norfolk State
was picked by the C1AA sportswriters to finish third in
the Northern Division behind Hampton Institute and
everybody's champion, Virginia Union.
Norfolk apparently didn't care and has laughed all the
way to first place and national prominence with a 23-1
overall record, best in the league..
The Spartans' latest ingredient in the crow they intend
to serve to the league's sportswriters at season's end was
an 81-75 win over Union last Saturday in Norfolk before
9,085 fans.
? As usual, senior forward David Pope led the way for
Coach Charles Christian's Spartans with 25 points and 12
rebounds as Norfolk stormed to a big lead late in the second
half, then weathered a Union rally to preserve the
win.
, The game was tied 10 times in the first half, and,
though Union managed two four-point leads, ended in a
32-32 deadlock.
Thanks to timely shooting by Barry Mullen, Norfolk
pulled out to a seven-point lead, 50-43, at the 13:47 mark,
then increased that lead to 10, 56-46 three and a half
minute later.
After the margin had ballooned to 15 with just under
seven minutes left, Union came back, managing to slice
the margin to three, 74-71, with 1:12 left.
But the Panthers could get no closer and David Pope's
two free throws with five seconds left insured the win.
Union Coach Dave Robbins, who suffered the embarrassment
of a technical foul in the second half for having
six men on the court when Union could ill afford a
technical ("Out of 17 years of coaching, I never
remember that happening," he said), praised his opponent
and said his team's approach to next week's CIAA
tournament will remain the same.
"They're an outstanding team," Robbins said in a
phone interview Tuesday. "We beat them earlier in the
season but they just outplayed us this time."
As for how the loss will affect his team's momentum
going into its drive for postseason honors, Robbins poohpoohed
any notion of a letdown.
"I try to prepare this team to win and lose graciously"
he said.
Center Charles Oakley led Union with 20 points and 17
rebounds.
In the CIAA South, 16-6 Winston-Salem State, which
has a mathematical chance of tying St. Augustine's for
the division lead but can't win the title because St.
