The most recent loss was a 73-60 setback to Bowie State Nov. 26 in the Rams' home opener. That followed a 66-60 road loss to Elizabeth City State Nov. 23 and a season-opening 61-47 defeat at the hands of Shaw University Nov. 21 in Raleigh. "We are 0-3, but each game I see improvement and a better understanding v of our system. I see from the other two games that the girls have improved," Clark said after the loss td Bowie State. "It is taking the girls a while to get used to me and me to them, and as we do, I see us improving day by day." The Lady Rams displayed flashes of potential against iowic^ * ite, but scored only one field goal in 'he final 7:16 ot the ClAA conies. v>ooL* shot 24.7 percent from the floor for the game and was a frigid 9-for-50 shooting (1 8 percent) in the second half after hitting 35.5 percent in the opening half. "I was proud of how hard we played, but we just didn't execute at times," Clark said. "We got the ball inside like we wanted, but just didn't put the ball in the basket. The girls aren't taking their time with their shots. Sometimes it just seems they throw it up and don't use the backboard when I think they should." see LADY RAMS page 20 i Photo by Laura Martdand Kendra Home of W SSV is sandwiched by two Bowie State defenders .
