LEONARDTOWN – Stand-ing just three points behind a top team in the Washington Catho-lic Athletic Conference midway through the fourth quarter, the young St. Mary’s Ryken girls had a chance to upset Elizabeth Seton, but the opportunity eluded them as the Roadrunners escaped with a 64-51 win Saturday afternoon at the Ryken Gymnasium.

“We held our own with them in the third quarter,” said sopho-more guard Zakiya Chambers-Hunter, who scored 14 points. “They came out aggressive in the fourth and we just didn’t execute.”

The Knights (4-5 overall, 1-3 in WCAC play) were playing their first game in two weeks and the rust was evident as Seton guard Tyuanna Marshall scored 10 of her 20 points in that period. In the second quarter, the Roadrunners used an uncanny passing attack to free up center Alex Stelfox under the hoop for easy baskets.

“We knew those passes were coming, but they executed so well, it was difficult for us to get our footing,” Chambers-Hunter said. Knights coach Tara Everly agreed.

“They run a high-low type of passing offense and we seemed to be just a step behind in trying to stop that,” Everly said of the offensive set that has a player on

each side of the floor allowing one player, usually the center, to run free down the middle of the lane.

“If it’s one thing we do well,” Seton coach Jazz Berperazic said, “it’s pass the ball.” Stelfox’s

buzzer-beating jump shot sent the

Hornets Win Sixth In a Row

Defense Quiets Lackey Star In Victory


MASON SPRINGS – There’s no in-dividual mindset among the Great Mills girls’ basketball team, even when trying to shut down an opposing team’s top player.

“We want to shut down all five play-ers on the floor,”

said senior guard Tyneshia Baker after the Hornets

stifled Lackey’s Shovonne Duckett in

a 52-39 win at Lackey Monday Night. “We did

a real good job of pressur-ing their guards and mak-

ing them take tough shots.” The Hornets controlled the

tempo for much of the con-test, using their aggressive

man-to-man defense and unselfish offense to win their sixth game in a row after los-ing their first three on the road earlier this season.

“Those games prepared us for the kind of talent we saw tonight,” Great Mills coach Brian Weisner said of the schedule that saw them play St. Mary’s Ryken and talented state teams like River Hill and Wise. “We’ll see the fruits of those games come playoff time.” With the 3A South Regionals still two months away, the Hor-nets took to Lackey’s home floor prepared to make a statement. They jumped out to a 9-2 lead, but sparked by six quick points from Duckett, the Chargers evened up the score at 11 after one quarter. Great Mills (6-3 overall, 3-0 SMAC) then outscored Lackey 17-4 in the second quarter and cruised from there.

No. 20 Seahawks Get Past Arcadia, 74-62

St. Mary’s City, Md. – Four Seahawk play-ers scoring in double digits helped the No. 20 St. Mary’s College of Maryland men’s basket-ball team notch a 74-62 non-conference victory over the visiting Knights of Arcadia University Jan. 3.

Junior guard Camontae Griffin (Baltimore, Md./Dunbar) returned to his 20+ point form as he led all players with 23 points on 7-of-9 shoot-ing from the floor and a perfect 9-for-9 from the charity stripe. Griffin also matched his career best with a game-high five assists.

Sophomore forward Mike Bowden (Co-lumbia, Md. /Long Reach) also put on a strong performance for the Seahawks as Bowden contributed 16 points off the bench on 8-of-12 shooting.

Arcadia (5-7) played the Seahawks (9-2) tough in the first half as the Knights held a 31-28 margin at intermission behind 10 points from senior guard Bobby Mulholland (Wild-wood Crest, N.J./Wildwood). The first stanza witnessed six lead changes, as neither team was able to pull away. Both squads made 50% of their shots, but AU edged St. Mary’s from be-hind the three-point line, 4 to 1.

The Seahawks did out-rebound the Knights, 18-8, as senior forward Calvin Wise (Bel Air, Md./Calvert Hall) and sophomore guard Alex Franz (Catonsville, Md./Cardinal Gibbons) combined for nine boards. Franz paced SMCM in the first 20 minutes with eight points and four caroms.

Sophomore forward Mike Fitzpatrick’s (Bethesda, Md./Walt Whitman) two free throws at 9:59 sparked a 20-12 run which finally gave the Seahawks control of the game as SMCM led 62-55 with 4:20 left in the contest.

In the second half alone, St. Mary’s shot a blistering 75% from the floor as the Seahawks missed only six attempts en route to their 12-point victory. The team’s second-half field goal percentage of .750 was the highest thus far this season, helping the Seahawks finish at a .630 clip for the game.

In addition to Griffin and Bowden, Franz and Wise also finished in twin figures. Franz added 15 points on 5-of-7 shooting, seven re-bounds, and four assists, while Wise chipped in 10 points and a game-high nine caroms, making five of his six attempts. The Seahawks finished with a 36-22 rebounding margin as well.

Junior guard Damien Palantino (Philadel-phia, Pa./Father Judge) paced his Knights with 15 points as Palantino went 5-for-9 from down-town, while Mulholland ended up with 13 after going 1-for-4 in the second half. After shooting 50% in the first 20 minutes, Arcadia dropped to 33% in the second stanza.

Misericordia Drops St. Mary’s, 76-54

St. Mary’s City, Md. – The Misericordia University women’s basketball team notched its second victory in a row as the Cougars posted a 76-54 win over St. Mary’s College of Maryland in non-conference action Monday night behind 18 points junior guard Vanessa Wright (Williamsport, Pa./Williamsport).

Joining Wright in double figures were se-nior forward Lacey DeGraw (Tyler Hill, Pa./Honesdale) with 16, freshman forward Chris-tine Marks (Milford, Pa./Delaware Valley) with 13 and freshman guard Jesse Robinson (Barton, N.Y./Tioga Central) with 11. Robin-son notched a double-double as she also picked up a game-high 11 rebounds.

The contest went back-and-forth in the first half as both teams just traded baskets. St. Mary’s sophomore guard Jamie Roberts (Rock-ville, Md./Barrie) sank a pair of free throws at 12:34 to give the Seahawks their biggest lead (16-11) of the game. However, Misericordia (3-4) began to pull away with three consecu-tive lay-ups by Marks, DeGraw, and Wright which gave the Cougars the lead for good and

Raise your hand if you were among the millions Y2K-proofing your computers and reading up on Revelations when the countdown for the year 2000 began? I see you out there – there’s no shame in it.

Well, if you can believe it, we’ve survived Y2K, the worst attacks on our nation’s soil and other grievances to make it to the last year of the first decade of the new millen-nium. And there are still chal-lenges to face, like this amaz-ing disaster of an economy.

Yet and still, you have to find the small joy in every-thing that you do on a daily basis. This sports writer, for example, delights in the fact that gas on average is holding steady at 1.57 per gallon in this area. It reminds me of my college days when 20 bucks would set you straight for a whole week of driving and the road trips I used to take to dif-ferent schools in the area with my friends or by myself.

Fast forward about four years later, this job is hon-estly one big road trip, except no one is calling shotgun or slacking on their share of the gas funds. Hopefully, the money problem that faces us all will inspire us to be thank-ful for what we do have and stop us from worrying about what we don’t, to paraphrase a popular song right now.

What a Wild Card Weekend

The Baltimore Ravens and the Philadelphia Eagles did as expected. The India-napolis Colts did not and the Arizona Cardinals pulled off the unthinkable. Those two sentences sum up the opening

weekend of the National Foot-ball League playoffs perfectly, but you have to go deeper in explaining why things turned out the way they did as four teams moved on and four oth-ers went home.

Starting locally with the Ravens, I don’t think any-one saw the Miami Dolphins beating Baltimore to begin with, but the 27-9 manhan-dling of the AFC East cham-pions by the Ravens should have the rest of the conference nervous.

With quarterback Joe Flacco managing a game just about as well as a rookie sig-nal caller can do, and with the – pardon the pun – ravenous defense swarming all over the field, this certainly looks like a team poised to repeat the success of the 2000 ballclub, which of course won the Su-per Bowl as a Wild Card.

If you believe in symme-try, here’s proof: Super Bowl XXXIV, which the Ravens won was played in Tampa. The site of this year’s Super Bowl? Tampa.

Who will the Ravens more than likely face should they make it to the Super Bowl? The New York Giants, who Baltimore decimated 34-7 in said Super Bowl XXXIV eight years ago. Be encour-aged, Ravens fans.

Meanwhile, out on the West Coast, apparently I gave the Indianapolis Colts too much credit. After winning their final nine games to close out the regular season, I felt they had enough momentum for another run at the Super Bowl. Instead, the Colts al-lowed LaDanian Tomlinson’s mini me, 5-foot-6 Darren Sp-roles, to run wild en route to a 23-17 overtime victory for the San Diego Chargers in their wild card game Saturday night.

The Chargers had their

own dramatic entry into the post season (coming from 4-8 to catch Denver for the AFC West Crown) and kept their momentum going, even without Tomlinson, one of the NFL’s most feared running backs.

Sproles run for 105 yards on 22 carries, including the game winning touchdown scamper on the Bolts’ first possession in overtime, and punter Mike Scifres kept the Colts offense fighting uphill with several superb punts, including a 67-yarder that pinned Indy deep when San Diego needed a stop to get the ball back late in regulation. Meanwhile, the Colts failed in late-game management once again, further cementing their reputation (perhaps unde-served) as choke artists on a big stage. Not exactly the way to send future Hall-of-Fame Coach Tony Dungy out.

The Cardinals, subject to a mountain of jokes for winning the weak AFC West with a 9-7 record, held off the up-and-coming Atlanta Falcons 30-24 Saturday afternoon, winning just their second post-season contest in 62 years.

This game was thought to be a coming-out party for the Falcons, who have offi-cially arisen from the ashes of the Mike Vick drama nicely with an 11-5 record. Instead, the gutsy play calling of head coach Ken Wisenhant down the stretch paid off, as the ageless Kurt Warner found open receivers during a brief two-minute drill that kept the Falcons’ offense off the field late. Whether they can do that to the Carolina Panthers this weekend remains to be seen.

Finally, the Eagles took advantage of Tavaris Jack-son’s mistakes and Brian Westbrook’s speed to advance to the divisional round for the seventh time in 10 years under

head coach Andy Reid. The 26-14 victory sets up a rubber match with the Giants, who the Eagles split the season series with this year, winning 20-14 at the Meadowlands a little over five weeks ago.

Whether the Eagles can beat the Giants and/or Pan-thers to get to the Super Bowl, an I-95 championship game between the Ravens and the Eagles would be an interest-ing prospect, although it’s been done already of course. No reminders of Eddie Mur-ray’s two home runs in Game Five of the 1983 World Series please? Thank you.

Outdoor Hockey – The Greatest thing since sliced bread.

Okay, I’ll admit I thought at first that the National Hock-ey League Winter Classic was another hair-brained scheme by Commissioner Gary Bett-man to craft an American fan base. That was until I checked out this year’s Winter Classic between the Chicago Black-hawks and Detroit Red Wings, which was held at Wrigley Field on New Year’s Day.

Needless to say, it was an interesting experience.

The Red Wings, who look primed to repeat as Stan-ley Cup champions, edged the Hawks 6-4 in front of a crowd of 40,818, which of course is standing room only for the baseball home of the Chicago Cubs.

Considering Ice Hockey’s roots took shape on the open lakes and rivers of Canada well over 100 years ago, it was actually a pretty good idea to showcase the better teams and better players in the league, especially since a ton of those entities are in the Northern portion of the States and Canada.

For those unfamiliar, the league schedules a game to be played outdoors at a football (or in this case, baseball) sta-dium, increasing attendance by the thousands. This game works well in places where hockey makes sense (Chica-go, Buffalo, Boston, NY, etc.), but if the league starts trying to schedule the Dallas Stars vs. the Phoenix Coyotes in the Cotton Bowl, then it becomes a problem.

Better keep it above the Sun Belt for future success.

St. Mary’s County Department of Public Safety is offering Community Emergency Re-sponse Team (CERT) training to private citizens, residential communities, organizations and edu-cational institutions within the county. CERT is about readiness, people helping people, rescuer safety, and doing the greatest good for the great-est number. It is a positive and realistic approach to emergency and disaster situations where citi-zens will be initially on their own and their ac-tions can make a difference.

The CERTProgram educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may im-pact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster med-ical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERTmembers can assist others in their neighborhood or work-place following an event when professional re-sponders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.

The training is free, and all materials and equipment are provided by the Department of Public Safety. All participants will receive a CERT bag that includes basic emergency re-sponse items, such as gloves, helmet, goggles, and a flashlight. The training is a total of 20 hours, which can be divided over a period of time that best suits your training needs. The next training course is scheduled for March 21 and March 22. If you are interested in becoming prepared for disasters, please contact Jaclyn Shaw, Depart-ment of Public Safety at 301-475-4200 Ext.2125. For more information on emergency prepared-ness, log on to www.stmarysmd.com. Click on Public Safety under the Services box.

The Newtowne Players Present Larry Shue’s The Foreigner The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by Froggy LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who oc-casionally runs training sessions at a nearby Army base. This time Froggy has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. So Froggy, before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. Once alone, the fun really begins, as Charlie over-hears more than he should – the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate; the fact that the minister’s pretty fi-ancée is pregnant; and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Char-lie doesn’t understand a word being said. That Charlie does understand fuels the nonstop hi-larity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the “bad guys,” and the “good guys” emerge triumphant. The Newtowne Players will per-form The Foreigner Thursdays through Sun-days, Jan. 16 through Feb. 1, 2009. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances start at 8 p.m.; Sunday shows begin at 3:30 p.m. Perfor-mances are held at Three Notch Theatre on 21744 South Coral Drive in Lexington Park, Md. Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for stu-dents, senior citizens and the military. Thurs-day shows are $10 general admission. Light refreshments and beverages are also available for purchase at the theatre. Patrons may re-ceive a 10 percent dinner discount from Bol-lywood Masala, the Tides or Chef’s American Bistro with online ticket purchase. Dinner res-ervations are required. Paypal receipt required at restaurant and theatre as proof of purchase. Reservations are recommended. Please make reservations for the show by calling 301-737-5447 or visiting www.newtowneplayers.org. The Foreigner is produced by special arrange-ment with Dramatists Play Service Inc.

Southern Maryland Electric Coopera-tive (SMECO) submitted an application to the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Ne-cessity (CPCN) on November 21, 2008.

The CPCN is required before SMECO starts construction of its Southern Maryland Reliability Project to improve its transmission delivery system and ensure continued reliable power to residents in Southern Maryland.

To meet the growth in electricity demand, SMECO intends to increase the capacity of its existing 69-kilovolt (kV) transmission line lo-cated in Calvert and St. Mary’s counties to 230 kV. The upgrade will provide additional capac-ity and create a continuous “loop” of electricity around SMECO’s service area, creating greater operational flexibility to move power around and to isolate and minimize power outages.

Over the past 30 years, SMECO’s customer base has tripled, while the amount of energy used is five times greater and expected to continue to grow. “Our customer-members expect reliable power, and upgrading this transmission line will ensure that our customers’ needs are met,” said SMECO President and CEO Austin J. Slater, Jr. “We expect to complete the Southern Maryland Reliability Project over the next five to six years,” he added, “This project will have a minimal ef-fect on current rates or the environment if we are able to follow the same route as the current line and stay within existing rights-of-way.”

The new power line will run south from Holland Cliff through Calvert County, cross the Patuxent River, enter St. Mary’s County, and end in Lexington Park. Although SMECO will consider alternative routes, new rights-of-way are not necessary along the preferred route, with the exception of areas like the lower Patux-ent River crossing. The cost of the project will be rolled into SMECO’s annual construction budget and financed over many years.

The co-op has spent considerable time meeting with state and local elected officials, business leaders, environmental organizations, and community groups in the area. SMECO also held several public open houses to educate customer-members about the project, and the Co-op has worked with communities along the route to ensure the improvement project is done right. As part of the CPCN approval process, the PSC will hold public hearings in April.

For more information about the Southern Maryland Reliability Project, customer-mem-bers can visit SMECO’s Web site at www.smeco.coop.

All applica-tions must be submitted through your school’s Science Fair coordinator and be received by the Science and Engineering Fair Board no later than 4 PM, Monday, January 12, 2009.

Exhibits are open to the public on January 31, 2009, from 1 to 3:30 p.m. The awards ceremony begins at 3:30 p.m. and is also open to the public. The guest speaker at this year’s award ceremony will be Dr. Michael J. Martirano, Super-intendent of St. Mary’s County Public Schools.

Selected projects will have the oppor-tunity to compete at the Annual Prince George’s Area Science Fair. The Prince George’s Area Science Fair brings to-gether over 400 student competitors from Prince George’s, St. Mary’s, and Calvert Counties. Grand Award Winners from the Prince George’s Area Fair compete at the Intel International Science and En-gineering Fair (ISEF). Intel ISEF is the world’s largest pre-college celebration of science. Held annually in May, Intel ISEF brings together over 1,500 students from 50 countries and territories to com-pete for over $3 million in awards and scholarships, tuition grants, internships, scientific field trips, and the grand prize of a $50,000 college scholarship. In the last four years, several St. Mary’s County high school students have competed at In-tel ISEF. Last year, Leonardtown HS stu-dent, Julie Walker, was awarded Grand Award Second Place in the Electrical and Mechanical Engineering category, which included a cash award of $1500, at Intel ISEF.

Scientists and engineers interested in becoming judges should contact Dr. Larry Mertaugh at (301) 863-6254 or Joe Carbonaro at (301) 862-4474.

The Foreigner to Show

SMECO Applies for Project Approval General Colin Powell

Encourages Others to MentorGeneral Colin L. Powell will headline the

Eighth Annual National Mentoring Month volunteer recruitment drive. Held each Janu-ary, the campaign mobilizes community vol-unteers to help young people achieve their potential. This year’s theme is “Expand Your Universe. Mentor a Child.”

Last year, more than 375,000 individu-als responded by seeking information about local mentoring programs that needed more volunteers.

Research has shown that programs that rely on volunteer mentors can play a pow-erful role in reducing drug abuse and youth violence while greatly enhancing a young person’s prospects for leading a healthy and productive life.

National Mentoring Month is spear-headed by the Harvard Mentoring Project of the Harvard School of Public Health, MEN-TOR/National Mentoring Partnership and the Corporation for National and Community Service. Media partners include: CBS, FOX,

NBC, MTV, Comcast, Time Warner, and the National Association of Broadcasters.

As a highlight of National Mentoring Month 2009, Thank Your Mentor Day(TM) will be celebrated on January 22. On that day, many Americans will reach out to thank or honor those individuals who encouraged and guided them and had a lasting impact on their lives. Thank Your Mentor Day(TM) pro-motes “Four Ways to Honor Your Mentor”: 1) contact your mentor directly to express your appreciation, 2) pass on what you received by becoming a mentor to a young person in your community, 3) make a financial contribution to a local mentoring program, and 4) write a tribute to your mentor for posting on www.WhoMentoredYou.org.

In communities across the country, des-ignated nonprofit and governmental agencies are responsible for coordinating local cam-paign activities, including media outreach and volunteer recruitment. These local lead partners include state and local affiliates of

MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership, the Corporation for National and Commu-nity Service, the Points of Light Institute and HandsOn Network, America’s Promise Al-liance, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, Communities in Schools, and The United Way of America.

Each year since its launch in 2002, Na-tional Mentoring Month has enjoyed the strong support of President George W. Bush and the United States Congress. Other prom-inent individuals who have participated in the campaign include Maya Angelou, former President Bill Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Sena-tor John McCain, Quincy Jones, General Co-lin L. Powell, Cal Ripken, Jr., Bill Russell, and Usher.

Offshore Drilling: Energy Boon or Bust?

Offshore drilling was a heat-ed topic of debate during the 2008 United States presidential election campaign. Republican nominee John McCain was a firm sup-porter of domestic offshore drill-ing as a method of driving down dependance on foreign oil, and in turn prices at the pump. Presi-dent-elect Barack Obama and the nation’s environmentalists weren’t so enamored of the idea, seeing potential environmental blights and little help for foreign oil dependance.

The United States consumes a quarter of all the oil used in the world. However, the country only produces about 10 percent. There have long been inquiries into tap-

ping the 1.76 billion acre Outer Continental Shelf that surrounds the U.S. for oil, ever since the U.S. Congress placed a moratorium on new drilling back in 1981.

Proponents of drilling for oil and natural gas say there are many advantages. States in close proximity to drilling locations could benefit from oil and gas rev-enue and job opportunities at the coastline, including bustling ports replete with new jobs.

However, environmentalists say that drilling presents a num-ber of risks, including spills and leaks that damage the surround-ing ecosystem. They also argue that offshore drilling requires canals to be dug and pipes to be

installed to transport the product, which further disrupts natural coastal ecosystems.

Aesthetics is another factor to consider. While there are many people who are quick to say they won’t mind looking at offshore drilling rigs if it means savings and fewer ties with foreign oil companies, others don’t want to mar pristine coastland and pic-turesque views with industrial equipment.

Analysts say that even if the moratorium on drilling were lifted, the effects wouldn’t be felt immediately, and oil may not be seen for 10 to 12 years. It would take years to secure permits and equipment, as well as to survey

potential drilling sites for the best ways to get the oil or natural gas out of the ground. And because oil is a global commodity, where the price is set by global supply and demand, there’s reason to argue the small amount of additional oil generated by U.S. offshore drill-ing would do little to affect resi-dents’ wallets.

Still others are on the fence regarding this debated subject. While it’s believed that domestic drilling wouldn’t solve all of the country’s problems, there is belief that it could help replenish dimin-ished oil reserves and provide some relief -- when factored into a serious and comprehensive en-ergy plan.

we would,” said Lackey head coach Torez Mitchell, in his first year at the helm. “We’re a young team, so I told the girls we’re going to take our lumps, but we’ll be right there at the end.” Even with Kendra Mosley – Lackey’s leading scorer with 11 points – and Duckett doing their best to keep the Chargers close, Great Mills kept them at arm’s length with sensa-tional open court offense.

After forcing a turn-over or grabbing a rebound, Baker, Shamara Adams (who led all scorers with 19 points) and center Shawnese Taylor would take off down court, either finishing at the bas-ket or passing off to an open

teammate for an easy shot. When Baker wrapped a

pass around Mosley to Ad-ams, who hit the lay-up and drew a foul to make the score

43-25 early in the fourth quarter, the Hornets were well on their way to retaining a share of first place in the Southern Maryland Athletic

Conference.Most of the focus was on

the defensive job Great Mills did on Duckett, who will be playing her college ball at George Mason next season. Weisner sent several players at the Chargers’ top scorer, who only managed 10 points for the contest, including guards RyShawn Butler and Johnita Baker.

Weisner felt Baker was one of the most successful in guarding Duckett, despite giving up close to eight inch-es in height.

“Johnita, I thought, did a nice job on her in the sec-ond quarter,” Weisner said of the period in which Duckett came up with one point from the free throw line. “We defi-nitely wanted to pester her, be a thorn in her side.”

“Every team we play against,” Mitchell explains, “Shovonne gets double and triple-teamed, but she’s doing well.”

Now that the Hornets are picking up steam as the con-ference schedule gets tough-er, Tyneshia Baker feels the

team is getting back to the form that saw them in the state semifinals last year. “In the beginning, I don’t think

everybody was on the same page,” Baker says.

“But we’re definitely there now.”

Roadrunners (9-1 overall, 3-1 in WCAC action) into the locker room with a 15-point halftime lead, and the Knights needed to regroup.

They responded by limiting Seton to six third quarter points, and with the underclass-men trio of Hunter and freshman Katie Mc-Cormick and Diana Logan scoring14 points between them, the Knights got to within single digits by the start of the fourth quarter. When Ryken’s sophomore center Cierra Darden hit one of two free throws at the 3:59 mark of the fourth, Ryken trailed 53-50 and seemed poised to overtake one of the most highly regarded teams in the DC area.

Instead, the Roadrunners got clutch bas-kets from Stelfox, Tyuanna and Katelyn Mar-

shall to push their lead back to double dig-its and keep their share of first place in the

conference.“They put a little more pressure on our ball

handlers sooner in the third quarter,” Berper-azic said of the Knights’ airtight defense that forced the Roadrunners into 18 second-half turnovers. “They had a lot of success with that pressure. We didn’t take them lightly and we knew it would be tough to play in this gym.”

With a 13-day break between games, the Knights would not use the layoff as an excuse for their early struggles, especially consider-ing how well they played in the second half.

“No,” Chambers-Hunter responded quickly when asked about the mini-vacation. “We’ve had practice and maybe four days off, we just need to learn how to finish games, that’s how it’s been for us all season.”

Everly felt the break was needed consid-ering the monster schedule Ryken played be-fore the break began.

“We were coming off a stretch where we played seven games in nine days, and ev-erybody was just exhausted, physically and mentally,” she said. “We played well today; we just couldn’t get over the hump.”

sparked a 15-4 to give them a 26-20 advantage at 6:30. MU would go into halftime with a 37-32 margin.

Sophomore forward Ti-ara Hurte (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) led the Seahawks at intermission with a game-high 10 points, while Marks had eight off the bench for the Cougars. Marks was 2-for-2 from downtown as MU went 5-for-14 from three-point land.

A 17-5 start to the sec-ond half helped Misericordia

break the game wide open and the Cougars would go on to lead by 20 or more points for the last 10:31 of the con-test. Poor shooting in the second stanza hampered St. Mary’s as the Seahawks only connected on eight of their 30 attempts, while Miseri-cordia made close to 52% of its shots.

Senior guard Lindsey Sykes (Avalon, N.J./Mid-dle Township) dished out a game-high seven assists for the Cougars.

The Seahawks (2-7) were paced by senior forward Allie Scott (Laurel, Md./Atholton) who registered her fourth straight double-double on 16 points and 10 boards, while Hurte finished with 13 points and seven caroms. Junior center Alex Wenger (Baltimore, Md./Perry Hall) hauled in a career-best 11 rebounds, while senior for-ward Kiely Murphy (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) added 11 points as Murphy was 3-for-5 from behind the three-point arc. Roberts also ended the evening in twin figures with 10 and six caroms.

Kansas City, Kans. – On Christmas Eve, the National Soc-cer Coaches Association of America released the NSCAA/adi-das® Regional Coaches of the Year and St. Mary’s College of Maryland head women’s soccer coach Brianne Weaver earned the coveted distinction for the Mid-Atlantic region.

Weaver, who is only the third head coach in program history, became the first to pick the regional coaching honor after lead-ing the Seahawks to their first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Women’s Soccer Tournament and the school’s first women’s soccer Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) title.

St. Mary’s posted an overall record of 12-3-3, including a 6-1-1 mark in conference play. The Seahawks spent the season’s first 10 games unbeaten as well, posting a 7-0-3 log during that

span.The Lexington Park, Md. native is now a finalist for the

NSCAA/adidas® National Coach-of-the-Year award at their respective levels.

In NCAA play, any coach who is not selected as a region-al coach-of-the-year but advances to the national tournament semifinals is added to the national ballot as well.

The national awards will be announced at the annual NSCAA Awards Banquet which will be held Jan. 16 in St. Lou-is, Mo., as part of the 2009 NSCAA Convention. Weaver will receive her regional award a day earlier.

Along with capturing the program’s first-ever CAC cham-pionship and earning the program’s first-ever trip to the NCAA

Tournament, St. Mary’s also notched the program’s first-ever national ranking when the Seahawks were listed at No. 25 Oct. 7 and No. 24 Oct. 14. The Seahawks also matched the program’s high in All-CAC selections with seven.

In just three seasons, Weaver has mentored the Seahawks to the CAC title match twice, finally notching the crown this season with a 1-0 triumph over York (Pa.) College. With the conference title in hand, St. Mary’s garnered the conference’s automatic bid.

Her career record currently stands at 30-20-6 (15-6-2 CAC) and to date, she has coached two NSCAA all-region selections, two players-of-the-year, one rookie-of-the-year, and 15 all-con-ference selections.
