Basketball team preps for challenges Leslie Maxewell Editor In chiet In the next month, the Meredith College basketball team, led by seniors Holly Lowman and Leigh Akers, will face some tough competition, according to Coach Carl Hatchell. The team faces its chal lenges after Christmas Break and Saturday’s 68-64 loss to the NC State club basketball team. Though Meredith was supposed to play Huntington College in Alabama last week end, that school’s new athletic director did not want its basket ball team to make two very long trips in a short period of time. Thus. Meredith vs. Hunt ington has been rescheduled for later in the semester, and Hatchell scrambled to get the club team as an opponent. During last Saturday's game, Jen Schwachenwald, sopho more, led the Angels with 17 points. Tina Harkness trailed her with 13 points. Sophomore Tracy Sumner played her first game back after tearing a ligament in her foot last semester Sumner shot two for three from the floor, and Hatchell said that she was try ing hard to get back in the game. “We were a little shaky start ing out,” Hatchell noted. “We had trouble scoring.” But he saw an improvement in the Angels' second half play ing. adding that the team led at one point. By the game’s end, Meredith was down two. shot to tie, missed that shot and then fouled NC State’s club team. “It was a game we could’ve won, and maybe should’ve won,” said Hatchell. But he added that as long as the team keeps working together, their season should end well. Meredith, which is currently 3-3 among NCAA teams and 3- 5 including two losses to club teams, faces a difrlcult sched ule in the coming weeks. How ever, even with these losses, the Meredith basketball team has led with five minutes to go in every game. Today, Jan. 17, the team faces Averett. Tomorrow, Thursday. Jan. 18. Meredith students should support the Angels as the team takes on Methodist at 7 p.m. in the Weatherspoon Gym. Other upcoming opponents include Chowan, which Hatchell says is having its best season in many years. Peace, Wesleyan and Newport Apprentice, which Hatchell says is the best team on Meredith’s schedule.
