Overtime victory gives women title
By RODNEY ANDERSON
Sports Writer
Not unlike many KU students and faculty, the University of Kansas women's basketball team did plenty of feasting during the Thanksgiving holiday.
They feasted on opponents' turnovers, bad passes and missed shots in carving their way to first place in the annual Turkey Show. The hosts drove southwest Missouri State in Springfield, Mo.
But the Lady Jayhawks needed an overtime to defeat the University of Nebraska-Orna in the finals of the tournament, 78-68, last night.
DOWN BY AS many as nine points at one time in the game, Kansas rallied to the nebraska-Omaha 64-64 at the end of regulation play. Three quick baskets and a tough defense enabled the Lady Jayhawks to coast to the victory.
Freshman Lynette Woodard led Kansas scorers with a career high of 30 points, followed by junior Adrian Mitchell with 19. Woodard still were selected for the all-draft team.
KU coach Marian Washington said the Lady Jayhawks were stinging during the game, which ended with a 7-2 victory.
"We had played three games in three days and I think it was beginning to get to us," Washington said, "but over-all we proved that we were stronger. We just went after them real tough."
WASHINGTON SAID that the squad's spirits were high after the victory but that the Lady Jayhawks would have to make preparations for the game against Nebraska-Omaha in Omaha.
"They're a real good team," Washington said. "They tried to stay with our running game but we've had no success."
Washington said the Lady Jayhawks would have to eliminate costly mistakes and improve their rebounding if they hoped to defeat Nebraska-Omaha.
"Tonight we didn't control the boards, particularly the offensive boards," Washington said. "We only got one shot at the basket and we need two or three to be able."
Missouri-St. Louis provided little competition and KU stuffed the team 97-29.
KANSAS EARNED the right to play Nebraska-Omaha for the tournament title by defeating Oral Roberts University in the NCAA tournament and Missouri in Missouri. Lions in the ooeney round,
The rout enabled Washington to clear the bench. Kansas was sparked by Woodward's 28 points and Kramer Jarnison added 18. Lau to 10 points in the first half.
in the semifinals, KU rebeered to a 94-61 victory over Oral Roberts.
Washington said that Oral Roberts was a fine team but that many of Oral Robert's early points came as a result of Kansas fouls.
"I DON'T KNOW how many times we sent them to the free throw line during the first half," Washington said. "In the second half we did a better job of controlling our fouls, and we controlled the boards much better."
matched led KU in scoring with 33 points, and guarded with 14 (Chery) Burrell with 22 and 5 (Riley) Cox with 21.
Washington said that she had been pleased and surprised with her team's early performance. With the victory over Nebraska, the Lady Jayhawks led 40-4.
"I didn't realize we'd be playing so sharp so early," Washington said. "I don't know how far this team will go. As I said before, we're like a firecracker to explode. This weekend we played two very fine games and we surprised some people with our play."

KU coach Bob Lockwood said that the meet was good experience for the young Jayhawks and that it gave them exposure to highly competitive gymnastics.

Williams scored 9.1 out of a possible 10 points in his compulsory vault and 9.4 in the optional round of competition which qualified him for the finals. The top eight
gymnasts in each event qualified for the finals.
"THE MEET was very important to us," Lockwood said. "For us there are only three meets like this on our schedule. It was very important for us in training for the Big Eight Championships to be exposed to this kind of competition. We need as much exposure as possible because we start our Big Eight season next week."
