Saint
Louis University (11-16, 4-12) lost another C-USA match this
time against visiting University
of Memphis (17-10, 11-5) in the Bauman-Eberhardt Athletic
Center (1,097 paid attendance). The Billikens trailed at the
half (39-40) and gave up a 13-4 run only to battle back with
a 15-0 scoring drive to lead 54-53 with ~11 minutes left in the
game. Poor ball handling plagued the Billikens all game and resulted
in the final 66-73 home loss.
The Billikens have some good freshman talent
to look forward to next year; each player received much valuable
experience during the season. Although the Billikens graduate
seniors Mandy Lueking (12) and Kara Wile (10), the younger players
appear capable to fill the void left by these two with the added
bonus of having scoring production at every position.
