Page 8 Guilfordian, February 24, 1981 Quakers drop two more By Pete Fraunholtz The Guilford Men's bas ketball team lost twice last week in two outings to close out the regular season at 12-15. The last, and what turned out to be one of the most exciting home games of the year saw Guilford blow a 13-point lead in losing to Wingate on Wednes day night. It was a successful bank shot at the buzzer in overtime that left the Quakers on the bottom end of a 71-69 score. Guilford burst out of the gates to take a commanding 43-30 halftime advantage. Greg Sims contributed 12 points to an| outstanding team effort that left Wingate flustered. The second half began much the same way, as Sims and Wayne Freeman were continually left with uncontested shots, thanks to the excellent passing of Sporty Jeralds and Ben Barrett. Unfortunately, the Quakers Women netters open By Mary Busken As the temperatures rise anc spring fever starts to spread, Guilford's women's tennis team is gearing up for a banner season.

Inadequate offensive movement, which resulted in poor shot selection and a lack of offensive rebounding helped to stymie Guilford's attack. Mean while, Wingate caught fire. Their consistent jumpshooting opened up the middle of the Guilford zone defense, leaving their big men with open short range shots. Wingate battled back to close the margin to two before senior Terry Miller tied the score at 67 with 1:20 remaining. Guilford then put on another impressive display of team basketball, us ing continuous movement to hold the ball for the last shot However an errant pass gave Wingate the ball for a final shot.
