Cards take on the Islanders

[geezer]

Ladies play at 2:00 and men at 4:30 PM today. Ladies should continue their winning ways as they easily defeated the Islanders in Corpus. Men on the other won a tight ball game in Corpus but would expect another tight game as the Islanders while not winning many this year have defeated a couple of teams that Lamar lost to.

Lady Cards get off to a slow start and are down by five at the end of the first quarter. Cards have two players on the bench with two fouls each in Bowers and Pimental. Lamar shot just 25% in the first quarter as opposed to 42% for AMCC.

Ladies battle back in the second quarter and take a one point lead into the half, despite continued low shooting percentage and foul troubles. Cards on top 24-23 at the half. Four of the Cards five starters have at least two fouls and Mathis has three. Cards are leading in rebounding to make up for the lower than normal shooting percentage. Ladies have twelve fouls compared to AMCC's seven. Ladies will need to cut down on the fouls in the second half to get the win.

Ladies have a seven point lead at the end of the third quarter. Ladies shooting percentage has continued to rise slowly, Cards did better in only committing three fouls in the third quarter and AMCC shooting percentage has fallen off.

[geezer]

Ladies get the win 65-59. The ladies maintain their half game lead in the conference standings and are now assured of at worst the fourth place seed in the conference tourney.

Men get off to another slow start as they have failed to score through the first four minutes of the game and are down by seven at the first media timeout. Nzeakor picked up a foul in the first minute so his ability to stay out of foul trouble may be an early key.
