Id by Holly Harris with four, Tammy Eck and Linda Hadficld with three apiece, the Bobcats recorded a total of 18 steals for the night. It was typical of the play that the Sky View team exhibited in all areas of the game. The tenacity and aggressiveness was no more evident as with the play of Darcy Anderson at center. Anderson owned the middle as she hauled in 14 rebounds, hit for seven points, and recorded several blocked shots as she turned in her best game of the year. Coach Nancy Christiansen was very pleased with Darcy's play in which she opened it up in the middle, enabling our guards to drive the middle more." Guard Marcia Whiting took advantage of the opening as she totalled six points for the night, the most she's severed in any one game this year. Marcia was a double threat when driving the lanes as she had the option of going for the points or passing off to either Darcy or Tammy as the defense converged on her. game with the undefeated Bees.
