A staunch defense and some clutch play by freshman Jeff Madden puUed St. Andrews out of the fire, as they edged Coker 61-59. The Knights raised their record to 2-1 with their second victory over the Cobras this season. “We appeared a bit nervous in front of the home crowd,” coach Doug RUey said. “But, they played a good game, otherwise they wouldn’t have won. Last year, Coker won the same tpe of ballgame; this year, we won with mostly fr- shmen on the floor. “They’re young and made a lot of mistakes, but I saw qite a bit of improvement out there also, ■niey rebounded very well. And our defense was out standing, it saved the game for us.” After rolling out to a 12-6 lead in the first five mnutes of play, the Knights hit a dry spell. Te Cobras took ad vantage of the situation, closing tne margin and then building a lead of tiieir own. That set the scene for the rest of the game. By the half St. Andrews had battled its way to a 31-29 lead. Tliat lead withered as the second period began and Coker outscored their hosts eight to two in three minutes. Ttie Cobras stretched their lead to six before the Knighs began to fight back. Fresh man Jeff Madden at the post then took the reigns and scored nine straight points giving SA a one point lead. Coker came back once again, however, and extended a seven point lead. With just under eight minutes remaining. Butch Keller cut across the lane and sank a seven foot shot to cut the deficit to one. Micah Lee then scored on a layup after a steal and St. Andrews lead 58- 57. Coker recovered the lead temporarily on a basket. — • • Keller waws then fouled, but missed on a one and one. With less than a minute left St. Anrews hopes were quickly faltering untU Madden’s arms came high over the rim for his tenth rebound. He turned and sot returning the single point edgetotheKhi^ts. Coker had another chance but was carged with two in fractions in less than ten seconds sending Dave Sillam- paa to the foul line. He sank one for the final 61-59. On their last trip down the court, the Cobras threw up a desperation shot and Sillampaa grabbed the rebound to end the con- testt.

Outward Bound The course that never ends \rtiere we played well on one end of the floor and sloppy on the other,” commented coach Doug Riley. “We didn’t have the intensity of play tiiat we really need^ to win. Our tran sitions from offense to defense were slow and that hurt us badly. It is just going to take soje time to get 40 minutes of good play from such a young team and that is what it takes to win.” “This was probaU one of the best fundamental teams that we have met or will meet this year. They played a very fast game. We played their top man very well with Gilbert, Micah Lee and Mike Breeden sticking with him most of the game. But then we let two other players get free all night long. We just need to play fun damentals.” New Coach BY VIVIAN BKULEGE After four years of waiting, St. Andrews is in for a treat as the 1978-79 season of the womens basketball season begins.
