1985 Miracle Yearbook

1 .4 t. AS,4P Murphy Leads Lady Jackets pparently, the women's basketball ream had an enigmatic player named Murphy whose name did not appear on this year's roster. According to Dr. Karol Hunt, team coach,the ream "had a Murphy's Law season: if anything could go wrong, it did." Although the women closed the season with a disap- pointing 6-21 record, they showed dedication and persistence in making the year a time of growth and restructuring. To highlight the season, the women hosted the NCCAA National Basketball Tournament with Dr. Hunt acting as the director. On the evening following a disappointing game in which they scored the least number of points in a national tournament,the women come back to score the most number of points in a national rournamenr game. Plagued by injuries and with only one return- ing starter, the ream wasforced to rely on the young talent found in freshmen Tonyo Bum- pus, Stacy McCaskill, Patti Parker, and Crystal Patrick, who tied with Sherri Norrick for assist leader honors. Senior captain Jewel Schroder lead the ream in scoring whilejunior Beth Gold- smith who hod the highest free throw percenr- age also earned honors as the ream's leading rebounder. The women can look forward to o strong ream next year with many returning players except one — Murphy. 98 First- Row: Crysrol Patrick, Beth Goldsmith, Jewel Schroder, Stacy McCaskill, Sherri Norrick; Second Row: Manager Burton, Assisronr Coach Diane Lichrensreiger, Patti Parker, Ruth Eissens, Tonyo Bumpus, Koren Heoddings, Julie Bu coach Dr. Karol Hunt.
