ROANOKE WOMEN DUMPED IN TOURNEY

Roanoke College's first appearance in the NCAA Division III women's basketball tournament ended in disappointment Friday night as the Maroons dropped a heart-breaker, 64-62 to Maryville College in a South Regional semifinal at Centre College.

Roanoke (23-5) led most of the way in a physical game that featured 60 fouls, 31 by the Maroons and 29 by Maryville.

The Saints' Sheryl Ramsey tied it at 62 when she hit one of two free throws with 21 seconds left. After the Maroons failed to score, they sent Ramsey to the line again with three seconds left. She converted both shots to give Maryville (23-5) the victory.

Donyele Thompson led the Saints with 35 points and 19 rebounds. Sherri Daigle added 12 points, and Sarah Benziger grabbed 13 rebounds as Maryville dominated the rebounding 53-30.

Karen Jenkins paced Roanoke with 14 points, Donna Cogar had 13 and Amy Saunders added 12.

The Maroons complete their season with the consolation game at 6 p.m. today. They will play Marymount, which lost 95-80 to host Centre.
