Bill Damuth @ Hill College
Hill continues turnaround with 70-63 win over SPC
Published: Friday, March 09, 2001
That requires some getting used to.
''At the beginning of the year, we never thought we would make it this far,'' Lady Rebels forward Shenequa Moore said. ''No one, not even coach, nobody.''
''We were praying for maybe a .500 season,'' guard Kristin Grassi added.
The Lady Rebels used 12 points from Vilma Tamuleviciute in the final 7:07 to make up a 53-50 deficit in the quarterfinal at United Spirit Arena.
After taking today off for first-round men's games, Hill is set up to face third-ranked Midland College (30-1) in a Region V semifinal at 12:30 p.m. Saturday. Such scenarios are new to the players, but Damuth helped Trinity Valley Community College to four national championships and two runnerup finishes as an assistant the past seven years.
''I kind of had a little experience in that, and they believe in me is really the bottom line,'' Damuth said. ''If they didn't believe in me, we wouldn't have won 28 games this year.''
Tamuleviciute, a 6-foot-1 Lithuanian, had eight 3-point goals, five in the second half, to end the season for South Plains (20-9).
South Plains guard Kristin Whiteley said the Lady Texans game-planned to defend three players in particular. They held starting guards Sharee Glen and Tammie White to 0-for-10 and 0-for-2 shooting, respectively, but couldn't keep up with Tamuleviciute, who finished with 28 points.
''We were trying to, but they did a great job running her off of some picks, and we didn't get to her as quick as we wanted to,'' South Plains coach Lyndon Hardin said. ''She's hard to find a lot of times, because she does such a good job coming off the picks, and they did a good job setting them for her and getting her open.''
The Lady Texans thought a recent 8-point loss to No. 3 Midland proved they could challenge the nation's top teams. Against Hill, the Lady Texans got 20 points and 11 rebounds from Danelle Evans but came up with a similar outcome.
''I think our defense was a lot tougher against Midland,'' said South Plains center April Walker, who had 11 points.
It didn't help the Lady Texans that forward Aundrea Dawson and guard Monica Trimble each picked up three early fouls and wound up fouling out. Dawson, one of the team's top defensive players, took her fourth foul with 16:46 left.
''I felt like it had a tremendous bearing on the ball game,'' Hardin said. ''We had to sit those people I don't know how many minutes; it seemed like forever. We needed them on the floor in order for athleticism to be on the floor.''
Whiteley had 12 points and staked to the Lady Texans' to their largest leads of the second half 42-38 on a 3-point goal with 14:12 left, and 53-50 on a basket from the corner of the lane at the 9-minute mark.
''I think we had them where we wanted them,'' Evans said, ''but we just didn't execute on a couple of things and we didn't score for a while. We just had a dry spell for a few minutes and they pulled away.''
