She added that the strength of the team is in the guards, which she explains the prob able starting line-up of three guards and two post players. Team weaknesses are mainly rebounding, strong footing and the lack of a dominant player. “We’d have trouble against teams with good leapers and pivot players,” Cox commented. “We’d really need to emphasize defensive rebounding.” However, the “strong, unself- 8 Meredith Herald November 14,1986 ish team efforts” will make obstacles eas ier to overcome.

In an overnight trip in Virginia, Mere dith defeated Roanoke College in what Coach Chamblee described as “the best match of the season.” It went to five games, as the Angels lost the first two but cameback to take thematch. 1111$ was^drandy difficult, but as the “entire team played well,” it was possible. Chamblee added that “(Freshman) Amanda Brooks had her best game.” The following day Meredith triumph^ over Hollins 2-1 and Emory and Henry 2-0. Also, Meredith played in a tournament at Salem College the first weekend of November. The tournament was played in a round robin fashion and the Meredith team whi its pull and therefore earned a spot in the semifinals.

One of the team captains, Susan Beck, “was the outstanding player of the game,” Chamblee commented. Learn to Ski for Physical Education Credit! January 4-8, 1987 at Applachian, Sugar, Beech Mountain.
