Finnen, who has served as the public address announcer for Lafayette football and basketball since 1964, was inducted into the Maroon Club Athletic Hall of Fame in 1998. He is one of just two people selected who was not an athlete, coach or administrator at the College. Finnen came to Easton in 1961 to serve as the news director at WEST-AM. He left the station in 1964 and was approached immediately to become the public address announcer at Lafayette, with one stipulation. The fall of 1964 brought Lehigh to Fisher Field for the 100th renewal of the rivalry, and announcer Dr. Finley Smith, a professor at the College, made that game, a 6-6 tie, his final appearance behind the microphone. Dr. Smith assumed other football game day responsibilities, and he and Finnen became close friends until his death several years ago. Finnen has missed just three of the 214 home football games since he arrived on College Hill: Oct. 26, 1974, a 24-18 loss to Colgate, and a pair of season-opening wins over Kutztown in the late 1980s. Lafayette is 123-81-7 at Fisher Field with Finnen manning the public address system. Finnen announced his 200th game in 2003 when the Leopards posted a 35-17 win over Bucknell in the home finale. The longevity of Finnen s service to Lafayette is nearly equaled by that of his sidekick and spotter, Tom Golden. The legendary announcer has been behind the microphone for all but a handful of the several hundred basketball games at the Kirby Sports Center since his arrival as well. By his estimation, Finnen hasn t missed a home men s or women s game in more than 20 years. He has also coined the phrase familiar to all Lafayette hoops fans, and now, let s play basketball to start off all Leopard basketball games. Finnen and his wife, the former Beatrice Lehan, both graduated from the University at Albany in 1954. They have four children and three grandchildren. He is retired from The Stroh Brewery Company of Detroit, Mich. and currently serves as a government relations consultant. 2008-09 4 Leopard Basketball

SEASON OUTLOOK
2008-09 Season Outlook Commitment is the word that describes the Lafayette women s basketball approach heading into the 2008-09 season. The players and coaches are committed to continuing the success of the 2007-08 campaign and head coach Tammy Smith knows this squad has the talent and drive to do so. We re looking to build on last year s success, she said. That s key to where we are now and what we re trying to do. The Leopards will have to replace the minutes and production from the loss of four seniors, including the program s fifth all-time leading scorer, Vanessa Van De Venter. Van De Venter led the Patriot League in scoring last year, averaging 15.6 points per game. Obviously we have to replace four seniors, but we re very confident we ll be able to replace all aspects of what we lost, Smith said. Lafayette returns 11 letterwinners, including four starters. The team has a wealth of experience, with five seniors on the roster, all of whom will serve as captains: Laura Cullen, Emily Garner, Meaghan Malone, Jessica Spicer and Cristin Zavocki. Their experience and veteran leadership will help guide a team whose expectations were only raised after their Cristin Zavocki 09 double-digit win total of 2007-08. Last season s success caught the attention of the WNIT, as the Leopards received their first-ever invite to the preseason tournament, which is based upon expected team strength for the 2008-09 season, as well as past team history. With the seniors leading the way, the foundation for success will be set early in the season. The senior class experience has increased from its freshman season to now, Smith said. It ll be key for them to be the leaders and role models of the team for the younger players and continue to work hard. Backcourt Senior leadership will be evident in the backcourt for the Leopards this season, led by Spicer and Zavocki. Classmates Malone, Cullen and Garner bring added experience to the court, as well. Spicer averaged nearly 35 minutes per game last season, tied for the team lead, and led the squad with 86 assists. She also contributed more than six points and four rebounds per game. Zavocki finished her junior season averaging 9.3 points per game, including shooting nearly 40 percent from three-point range, making her a scoring threat. Joining Spicer and Zavocki in the backcourt are fellow seniors Garner, Malone and Cullen. Garner was another steady presence off the bench for the Leopards, averaging just less than eight points per outing while also being active on the boards and pulling down 153 rebounds last year, good for second on the team. Malone is in her third full season with Lafayette after transferring from Iona after her freshman season. She played in all 30 games last season, including three starts. Cullen saw action in 16 games as a junior. She and Malone are expected to step into the two and three spots. Adding depth in the backcourt will be junior Danielle Jenkins. Jenkins is returning from a knee injury that sidelined her for all of her sophomore season. Smith expects a lot from such a veteran group. Our backcourt has a ton of experience, she said. We re counting on them for leadership on the court and their understanding of the program. Up Front Juniors Amanda Smith and Brooke Niquette will have the opportunity to make a big impact on the team and help replace the production lost last year due to graduation. Both check in at over six feet, making them key presences in the middle. Both Amanda and Brooke did a great job over the summer, Smith said. We re counting on them to step in and help us in the middle. Perhaps the Leopards most dominant player returns in LaKeisha Wright. Only a sophomore, Wright had one of the best rookie seasons in recent memory. She finished her freshman campaign as a member of the league s All-Rookie Team after averaging 9.2 ppg and 4.9 rpg. She started 28 of Lafayette s 30 games and her continued improvement and production will be key in guiding the Leopards to further success this year. LaKeisha came in as a freshman and turned our program around and our expectations for her haven t changed, Smith said. She s a dynamite player, very unselfish and does a lot of good things on the court. We expect her to continue to improve. Classmates Elizabeth Virgin and Lauren Jackson also return from solid rookie seasons. Virgin started 13 games, averaging over 11 minutes and 3.2 ppg. Jackson appeared in 18 games and added solid minutes off the bench. I was very impressed with how Liz and Lauren came back ready for the season, Smith said. They got themselves ready over the summer and they give us a different dimension. Adding depth to the front court will be junior Amanda Leone. Leone s work ethic and shooting skills provide a valuable asset to the coaching staff. Freshmen Like last season, the Leopards welcomed three freshmen to the team this season in Melissa Downey, Sarah McGorry and Alexandra Serowoky. Transitioning from the high school to college game can take some time, but Smith believes the players 2008-09 8 Leopard Basketball
have the talent to contribute right away and have the potential to see some starting time, as well. We always try to recruit better and better players each year, Smith said, and they will bring a lot early. They re all competitive and know how to win. They understand the game, they re great defenders and they ll give us a deep bench. Downey, a 5-8 point guard, helped lead her Cardinal O Hara squad to two Philadelphia Catholic Championship titles and was a Second-Team All-Delaware County selection during her career. McGorry, who checks in at 6-0, was a forward for her Mount St. Joseph Academy squad. She reached the 1,000-point milestone during her senior year in which she averaged 15 points and seven rebounds per game. Rounding out the class is Serowoky, a 6-1 forward from Dearborn, Mich. During her career at Ladywood High School, she was a McDonald s All-American nominee and an All-Catholic League and all-area selection. Coaching Staff Smith returns for her eighth season at the helm of the program. She guided the team to a remarkable turnaround last season when the squad doubled its win total in just one year and reached levels of success not seen in recent years. Smith came to Lafayette with a history of winning. She spent several years as the head coach at Division III Muhlenberg, where she compiled a career record of 113-68. LaRonda Murphy, the team s top assistant, is entering her 10th season at Lafayette. Her responsibilities include recruiting, post player development and coordinating team travel. Murphy joined the coaching staff after serving four seasons as an assistant at Fairleigh Dickinson. Jen Wedo is now in her third season with the team. The Pennsylvania native assists in all aspects of the program, particularly in developing Lafayette s guards. Wedo s first coaching stint came with William Woods, where she served as the head coach. Joining the staff this season is Lafayette s Director of Basketball Operations, Alyssa Antolick. Antolick will help manage and direct the program and her duties include video-based management, film exchange and maintenance of the recruiting database. Schedule Smith acknowledges that this schedule is tougher than any in recent memory. However, she believes her team proved last year it s ready to take its game to the next level, which requires facing higher quality opponents. We added some real tough games to our schedule but we felt that this year we were at the point where we were able to do that, she explained. We wanted to make our players step up and this group has the mentality to do so. Earning a spot in the preseason WNIT motivated an already driven team to work harder during the offseason to set itself up for nothing but success this year. We all were disappointed with last year s outcome. Our returning players were already committed to making a change, Smith said, but when they realized we were invited to play in the WNIT, it increased their commitment and their level of workouts. All of their offseason work will be on display when they travel to Middle Tennessee State for the opening round of the tournament on Nov. 15. Each team in the tournament is guaranteed to play in three games and Lafayette will compete in games on the weekend of Nov. 21-22 with opponents and sites to be determined following the Nov. 15 contest. A road game at Mount St. Mary s on Nov. 22 is followed by the Leopards home opener against Texas Pan-American on Nov. 29. December will see Lafayette play three straight home games from Dec. 3-7 against Penn, NJIT and Bryant. Road games at La Salle and Rutgers lead up to a home contest against Rice on Dec. 21. The month of December concludes at the Hokie Hardwood Classic on Dec. 29 and 30, hosted by Virginia Teach. The Leopards open the New Year with two home games, beginning with Princeton in the team s final non-conference game on Jan. 2. Holy Cross travels to Easton on Jan. 10 to open league play. Road contests at Colgate and Navy follow before the Leopards host reigning Patriot League champion Bucknell on Jan. 21. The first game against archrival Lehigh takes place in Bethlehem on Jan. 24. Lafayette finishes the month at home with games against Army on Jan. 28 and American on Jan. 31. Lafayette opens the second half of conference action at Holy Cross on Feb. 7. Colgate and Navy come to College Hill on Feb. 11 and 14 before Lafayette travels to Bucknell four days later. A Feb. 21 game against Lehigh marks the Leopards final home game of the regular season as they attempt to send their seniors off with a Senior Day victory over their rival.

The 2007-08 squad, under Smith s tutelage, doubled its win total in just one year and reached levels of success not seen in many years. In 2001, Smith became the fourth coach in the Lafayette women s basketball program s 33-year history. She begins her 15 th overall as a collegiate head coach and opens the 2008-09 season with a career record of 154-227 (.404).

With a talented group of veteran and young players, Smith possesses the necessary tools to continue to push Lafayette forward within the always competitive Patriot League. The 2006-07 team posted a 5-9 record in league play, marking the most wins in conference games since a 7-5 mark in 1997-98 and the 2005-06 season was highlighted by a win over Patriot League powerhouse and defending champion Holy Cross at Kirby Sports Center.

In 1997-98, Smith led Muhlenberg to its first victory in a NCAA Tournament game. Smith s 1995-96 Muhlenberg team recorded a school-record 19 wins, while the performances of her 1997-98 and 1998-99 squads earned her nominations for NCAA District 4 Coach of the Year honors. Prior to coaching at Muhlenberg, Smith spent 14 years (1983-1997) at North Warren Regional High School in Blairstown, N.J., as a physical education teacher and coach of numerous sports. As the girls varsity basketball coach for 11 years, she accumulated a 193-58 (.769) record and led her squads to the state championship game three times. Along the way, she received four Coach of the Year honors from the local media, including being named Coach of the Year in 1989-90 by both the Express Times and Newark Star Ledger. The New Jersey Herald also selected Smith its Coach of the Year in 1988-89 and again in 1992-93.

07-08 Season REVIEW
2007-08 Season in Review The 2007-08 season was one filled with highlights on many levels. The team achieved a level of success not seen in recent years, and the senior class left the program with a solid foundation upon which head coach Tammy Smith and her players will continue to build. Lafayette finished the 2007-08 campaign with 14 wins, doubling its win total from the prior season. The 14 wins included six Patriot League victories, the most since the 1997-98 campaign. It was a true team effort that created such results, as 12 different players started at least one game for the Leopards. Senior tri-captain Vanessa Van De Venter capped off her already impressive career with another solid year and etched her name in the Lafayette record books. She led the Patriot League in scoring from start to finish, averaging 15.6 points per game. Van De Venter scored her 1,000 th career point in the Leopards win over St. Francis (N.Y.), and by the end of the season ranked fifth in program history with 1,381 career points. Her 468 points were also the fourthmost in a single season. For her efforts, Van De Venter was named to the All-Patriot League First Team and earned two Player of the Week honors. The junior class was also a big reason for the team s success. Cristin Zavocki drained 57 three-pointers, the second most in single-season history. She set a single-game record with eight against Fairleigh Dickinson and received two weekly honorable mentions from the league during the season. Classmate Jessica Spicer played nearly 35 minutes per game and her solid defense helped the team hold four opponents below 50 points on five occasions, the first time Lafayette has done so in a single season in 14 years. The first-year players also made a tremendous impact on the team, led by LaKeisha Wright. She scored 276 points during her rookie campaign, the most by a freshman since Van De Venter scored 272 in 2004. Wright s field goal percentage (45%) was the second best mark in the league and she went on to earn a spot on the All-Patriot League Rookie Team. Lafayette opened the season with a thrilling 65-64 win at home against Monmouth. Van De Venter scored the winning basket with three seconds on the clock to give the Leopards their fourth straight home-opening victory. A brief, three-game losing streak followed, beginning with a 76-51 loss at Cornell on Nov. 15. Lafayette hosted Mount St. Mary s two days later and nearly pulled out a win. Van De Venter and Spicer each posted double digits but the team could not come out with a victory, losing 55-51. A 65-62 setback at Columbia followed before the team began one of its most impressive stretches of the season. On Nov. 24, four players scored in double digits to defeat Princeton on the road by a 78-68 margin. Another 10-point win followed, as the Leopards dealt St. Francis (N.Y.) a 64-54 loss at Kirby Sports Center during which Van De Venter reached the 1,000 point milestone. Lafayette hit the road for six games and opened the trip with three more wins. On Nov. 29, Lafayette traveled to Coppin State and upset the Eagles by a 62-56 score. The win snapped Coppin State s 22-game home win streak, which at the time was the fourthlongest streak in the nation. Van De Venter recorded her second double-double of the season with 12 points and 13 rebounds. The winning continued with a 61-53 win at NJIT on Dec. 1 and a convincing 71-56 victory at Penn four days later. A heartbreaking 46-45 loss at Vermont snapped the team s six-game win streak. The Leopards led for most of the game but could not hang on for the victory. Following a 20-day layoff, Lafayette traveled to Edinburg, Texas, to compete in the Battle at the Border Tournament, hosted by the University of Texas-Pan American. The team dropped a 60-55 decision to the Broncs in the opening game of the tournament and then lost a three-point contest (67-64) against Lamar in the team s final game of the trip. The team quickly got back to its winning ways by opening the new year with a 83-62 win over Morgan State at home. Zavocki made Lafayette history in the victory as her eight three-pointers were the most scored by a Lafayette women s basketball player, surpassing Kara Stetler s 6 in 2006, and her 26 points marked a career-high. A 70-54 home loss to La Salle followed on Jan. 4 before the Leopards closed out their three-game homestand and nonconference schedule with a 66-59 win over Fairleigh Dickinson four days later. Patriot League play opened on Jan. 12 at Holy Cross. Lafayette led 65-63 with less than a minute remaining before the Crusaders tied the game to force overtime. Zavocki scored the team s only points in the extra session, and the Leopards suffered a 77-70 heartbreaker. Lafayette returned home for two league games, first hosting Colgate on Jan. 16. The Leopards won a five-point decision (57-52) to record their first league win and followed that with a 16-point win over Navy just three days later. The team s defense held the Midshipmen to just 12 second half points to secure the win. On Jan. 23, the Leopards came out on top of an overtime game at Bucknell to extend their win streak to three. Four players reached double figures for the second straight game en route to their third league win. The win streak stretched to four with a 48-45 home win over archrival Lehigh. The Leopards handed the Mountain Hawks their first league loss of the season and held them to their lowest scoring output of the season. Two road league losses followed, beginning with a 57-46 setback at Army on Jan. 30. The Leopards trailed by just four at the midway point but the Black Knights solid second half handed Lafayette just its second league loss of the season. On Feb. 2, Lafayette traveled to Washington, D.C. and dropped a 68-54 decision to America. Lafayette returned home to host Holy Cross and lost its third-straight game by a 60-48 score but the Leopards rebounded to win a come-from-behind 56-48 game at Colgate. Junior Emily Garner recorded her first double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. The Leopards held the Raiders to 23 second-half points and shot 52 percent from the field in the second half in the eventual win to complete the season sweep. 2008-09 66 Leopard Basketball
The Leopards traveled to Navy on Feb. 16 and lost a 53-44 game to split the season series with the Midshipmen. Four days later, Lafayette returned home for a game against Bucknell but suffered a 53-44 setback to the Bison. Lafayette ventured to Lehigh for the final road game of the regular season and dealt the Mountain Hawks a 59-43 loss to complete a regular season sweep of the archrival, something the Leopards had not done in a decade. The Leopards closed out the regular season at home, first welcoming Army on Feb. 27. The Black Knights won their second game of the season against Lafayette, 51-41. Lafayette then honored the four members of its senior class Val Gomez, Maureen Johnson, Brittany Purr and Van De Venter in a game against American, the final home game of the season for the Leopards. It took extra time to decide the outcome, but the Eagles ultimately came out on top of the 60-57 decision. The season did not end there for the Leopards, as for the second-straight season they earned the No. 6 seed in the Patriot League Tournament, hosted by Army. Lafayette faced No. 3 Lehigh in the quarterfinal round of the tournament, putting the Leopards in position to win their third game of the season against the Mountain Hawks. Lafayette got 15 points from Van De Venter, including 11 in the first half, but the Mountain Hawks shot 40 percent from the field and led the game from start to finish, handing Lafayette a 62-51 loss. While the season may have ended with that loss, it was a year full of highlights and one that provided a glimpse into a promising future. The team was second in the league in field goal percentage (.395) and held four opponents to fewer than 50 points on five different occasions. That marked the first time since the 1993-94 season that the Leopards gave up 50 or fewer points five times in a single season. Lafayette also saw success in the classroom, as six of its players were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll, led by Johnson s 3.80 grade-point average in Mathematics and Economics. The 2007-08 campaign proved Lafayette has the talent needed to compete at the top of the Patriot League. 2008-09 67 Leopard Basketball
2007-08 Game Recaps Lafayette 65, monmouth 64 Nov. 12, 2007 -- kirby sports center easton, Pa. - A layup by senior Vanessa Van De Venter with three seconds on the clock lifted the Lafayette women s basketball team to a 65-64 win over Monmouth in the team s season opener. The win was the fourth-straight home-opening victory for the Leopards. Junior guard Cristin Zavocki led Lafayette with 14 points including a 3-for-7 showing from three point range. Van De Venter finished with 12 points and junior forward Meaghan Malone chipped in a career-best nine points while also pulling down five rebounds. All three of the team s freshmen saw playing time with LaKeisha Wright earning her first collegiate start. The Hawks went on an eight-point run to take an 8-3 edge at 14:47 and would not trail for the remainder of the opening half. Lafayette did close to within one (29-28) when junior guard Jessica Spicer drained a three with 29 seconds on the clock but the Hawks would go into halftime up by three after a layup by Brooke McElroy at the buzzer. Lafayette came out strong to open the second half, tying the game at 35 after a three-pointer by Zavocki. The teams would continue to exchange leads in the final period as neither side held more than a four point margin in the half. Wright missed a jumper with 44 seconds remaining but pulled down a defensive rebound with five seconds on the clock. Van De Venter then got the ball and poured in the game-winning layup to give the Leopards the victory.

Cornell 71, lafayette 56 Nov. 15, 2007 -- newman arena ithaca, N.Y. - Despite a strong second half, Lafayette dropped a 71-56 decision to Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y. Freshman LaKeisha Wright scored a game-high 20 points while senior Vanessa Van De Venter also reached double figures with 18 points. Lafayette shot 42 percent from the field but could not overcome a hot-shooting Cornell team that shot nearly 50 percent and made eight three-pointers. In addition to leading both teams in scoring, Wright also pulled down a team-high seven boards, including four on the offensive end. Van De Venter scored nine points in the opening half on 4-of-11 shooting to account for nearly half of the Leopards offensive output. The Big Red led by as many as 18 (35-17) in the opening half. Lafayette had a strong second-half, though, as the team outscored Cornell 35-34. The Leopards had already doubled their first-half scoring output with nearly 10 minutes still to play in the final period. Cornell s lead shrunk to just five after sophomore Brooke Niquette drained a jumper with nearly four minutes still to play. Cornell extended its lead back to double figures (66-56) and the Big Red scored four unanswered points to seal the 71-56 win.

Senior Vanessa Van De Venter had a game-high 17 points while junior Jessica Spicer chipped in a season-best 11 points. The game was a back-and-forth battle that featured 16 lead changes but the Mount shot 42 percent from the field including a 5-of-12 showing from three-point range to escape with the four-point win. Mary Dunn got Mount St. Mary s on the board first with a layup at 18:03. The Leopards evened the score at two when Wright fed Cristin Zavocki under the basket for the layup and Spicer s three at 16:26 gave the Leopards their first lead of the game. Lafayette trailed briefly before Spicer drained her second three as the shot clock expired to bring the score to 13-12 in favor of the Leopards. The Mount went ahead at 17-15 before Spicer s third three-pointer put Lafayette back in the lead (18-17) with just over five minutes to play. The Leopards could not hang onto their lead, however, and found themselves trailing 23-21 at the half. Zavocki opened the second period with a three-pointer and Van De Venter nailed another three to keep the Leopards within three of the lead (32-29). The teams found themselves tied again at 51-all but a layup by Tiffany Green with 24 seconds on the clock put the Mount up by two.

The game came down to the final minutes as the Leopards led by just two (54-52) with 2:36 on the clock. However, several critical free throws by Lafayette and a Van De Venter layup with 12 seconds on the clock sealed the victory. It was a close contest for the majority of the game as the teams exchanged leads 11 times. The Leopards shooting came alive in the second half, as they shot 48.3 percent and finished the game with a 43.9 percentage from the field. Their aggressive play on defense limited the Eagles to just 56 points and they failed to net a single threepointer. Lafayette struggled early to get its shots to fall but a Van De Venter jumper held the lead at three (12-9) and the Leopards went on to score eight unanswered points and take a 17-12 lead at 6:30. The Eagles Shalamar Oakley then scored six-straight points as Coppin State regained the lead at 20-17 with 4:21 to play. The lead switched hands again when a Spicer steal led to a Van De Venter basket. The senior was fouled on the play and her free throw gave Lafayette a 22-20 advantage and the Leopards held a slim two-point lead (24-22) at halftime. The Lafayette offense found its stride in the second half and the Leopards opened the period with a layup by Van De Venter. Coppin State tied the game at 32 on a layup by Jennifer Martin and took a brief lead at 38-36 with 13:25 on the clock but that was the last time the Eagles would hold the edge.

Lafayette 64, St. Francis (n.y.) 54 Nov. 27, 2007 -- kirby sports center EASTON, Pa. - Senior Vanessa Van De Venter scored her 1,000th career point in Lafayette s 64-54 win over St. Francis (N.Y.). Van De Venter finished with a season-best 21 points and was joined in double figures by junior Cristin Zavocki, who netted 11 as the Leopards won their second straight game. Lafayette shot a season-best 52 percent from the field, including hitting 6-of-13 from behind the arc. Lafayette s defense had a solid showing, as well, allowing the Terriers to shoot just 34 percent from the field in the game. The first half was a defensive battle as Lafayette held St. Francis to 22.6 percent shooting (7-of-31). With 16 minutes still to play in the opening half, Lafayette held a 10-4 lead and sophomore Amanda Smith s jumper at 7:59 made the score 16-10. On Lafayette s next possession, Van De Venter scored her 1,000th career point on a layup to give Lafayette an 18-10 advantage with just under seven minutes remaining and Lafayette would take a 24-21 lead into halftime. St. Francis opened the half with a three-pointer by Hill to tie the game at 24 but Van De Venter s layup on Lafayette s ensuing possession gave the Leopards the lead for good. Lafayette went on to net 14 points in the first six minutes of the period, including six by Zavocki on two three-pointers, as Lafayette held a 10-point edge (38-28) at 14:52. The Leopards would let St. Francis pull no closer than nine points over the remaining 15 minutes of the contest as Lafayette s defense continued the same aggressive play it demonstrated in the first half.

UTPA 60, Lafayette 55 Dec. 28, 2007 -- UTPa Fieldhouse EDINBURG, Texas - Lafayette opened the Battle at the Border Tournament with a hard-fought 60-55 loss to UTPA. The team nearly pulled off a come-from-behind win after a slow first half but ultimately dropped the 60-55 decision. Freshman Elizabeth Virgin led the Leopards with a career-high 14 points. Lafayette struggled from the field in the first half, shooting just 23 percent (7-of-30) and shot just 35 percent for the game. Junior Cristin Zavocki was the team s second-leading scorer with nine points, all from three-point range. Freshman LaKeisha Wright led the team in rebounds with six. It took nearly five minutes for either team to score a basket as the Leopards missed on their first 12 field goal attempts and UTPA opened the game with a 13-3 run. A Zavocki three cut the Broncs lead to 13-10 but UTPA responded with a three of its own and held a 17-12 lead with less than eight minutes remaining in the half. Freshman Lauren Jackson scored the half s final basket with a three-pointer with six seconds remaining as the Leopards headed into halftime trailing 30-22.

Lamar 67, Lafayette 64 Dec. 29, 2007 -- UTPa Fieldhouse EDINBURG, Texas - Despite leading for the majority of the game, Lafayette was unable to hold on for the win and dropped a 67-64 decision to Lamar at the Battle at the Border Tournament. Three Leopards scored in double figures, led by 17 from senior Vanessa Van De Venter. Lafayette shot 92.3 percent from the free throw line, its highest percentage in more than two years, to remain in the game but clutch second-half shooting from the Lady Cardinals handed the Leopards their third-straight loss.

Van De Venter fell one rebound shy of a double-double as she led Lafayette with nine boards. The Leopards offense started strong, opening the game with six quick points to take a 6-2 lead. The Leopards later went on a 7-2 run and took a 26-16 lead, capped off by four-straight points from Wright at the 8:09 mark. Lamar closed out the half with six unanswered points as Lafayette s lead was cut to four (39-35) and opened the second half with six unanswered points to take a 41-39 lead. A Van De Venter basket at 16:05 gave Lafayette back a twopoint lead. The Leopards briefly took a four-point edge (56-52) after a three from Van De Venter but eight consecutive points from Lamar s Brittney Williams tied the score at 56 with less than nine minutes to play. Lamar held a 67-64 edge with six seconds remaining and the Leopards had one last chance to tie the game, but a three-point attempt by Jessica Spicer was off the mark.

Army 57, Lafayette 46 JAN. 30, 2008 -- christl arena WEST POINT, N.Y. - Lafayette saw its four-game win streak end with a 57-46 loss at Army. Senior Vanessa Van De Venter led all scorers with 14 points but the Leopards could not overcome a solid second half showing by the Black Knights. Free throws dominated the first part of the game. Freshman LaKeisha Wright was unable to convert on two attempts that would have given Lafayette the early lead while Army hit on all four early free throws to take a 9-4 lead with 16:19 on the clock. A Jessica Spicer steal led to a fastbreak layup to cut the Black Knights lead to three (9-6). Army responded with two-straight baskets but consecutive treys from Van De Venter and Spicer brought the Leopards within one (13-12) at the 12:19 mark. Both offenses then stalled as neither team scored a basket for nearly five minutes before Van De Venter connected on four free throws after an Army technical to give Lafayette its first lead of the game (16-15) with 7:27 to play. Army then went on a 7-2 run with all seven points coming from the charity stripe and took a 22-18 edge with 1:25 to play. That score stood as both teams headed into the locker rooms at the half. Army opened the second half with a 5-2 run to take a 27-20 edge three minutes into the period. The Black Knights quickly upped their lead eight (33-25) after two Alex McGuire free throws at 14:20 but Wright cut the lead to four (33-29) with 11:24 on the clock. Two Cristin Zavocki free throws at 7:32 kept Lafayette in the game but the Leopards failed to cut any farther into the lead as the Black Knights began to pull away. An Erin Anthony score upped her team s lead to five and the score stood at 47-41 after another Anthony basket with 2:26 remaining.

The Leopards forced 26 turnovers by the Mountain Hawks while 39 second-half points gave them their sixth league win of the season. The win completed a regular-season sweep of Lehigh for the first time in 10 years. Three Leopards reached double figures, led by freshman LaKeisha Wright s game-high 14. Senior Vanessa Van De Venter and junior Emily Garner each finished with 11 points. Meaghan Malone s trey as time was expiring on the shot clock marked Lafayette s first points of the game. Malone fed Elizabeth Virgin under the basket for the freshman s first points of the game and three-straight baskets from Wright gave Lafayette an 11-5 lead after six minutes of play. Cristin Zavocki s jumper with more than four minutes to play made the score 19-17 before Courtney Dentler tied the game at 19. Emily Garner s free throw kept it a tie game at 20-all with 35 seconds remaining and that score stood at the half. Turnovers dominated the opening minutes of the second half and it took the Leopards more than three minutes to get on the scoreboard before Van De Venter drained a three to give Lafayette a 23-22 edge. The Leopards remained in the lead by three (25-22) and Zavocki s basket at 12:30 made the score 28-26. Lafayette maintained a slim margin before a Jessica Spicer trey at 10:24 gave the team a five-point edge (32-27). Garner s basket at 8:15 made the score 34-30 and Spicer fed Malone under the basket to up the lead to six (36-30). A three-point play by Wright at the 6:22 mark gave Lafayette an eight-point advantage (39-31). The lead stretched to double figures (41-31) with more than six minutes to play and Zavocki s fastbreak layup with 2:35 left to play made the score 49-32 to put the game away for good.

Army 51, Lafayette 41 feb. 27, 2008 -- kirby sports center EASTON, Pa. - Senior Vanessa Van De Venter recorded her fourth double-double of the season but it was not enough as Lafayette dropped a 51-41 decision to Army. Van De Venter finished with 15 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. The Leopards shot just 22 percent from the field and made only one basket from beyond the arc. The Lafayette defense did force 16 turnovers by the Black Knights and held them below their season scoring average of 59.9 points per game. Two Stefanie Stone free throws at 18:50 marked the first points of the game to give Army the 2-0 lead which they would not relinquish for the remainder of the game. Junior Meaghan Malone s layup made the score 4-2 but the Black Knights scored 10 unanswered points to take a 14-2 lead after eight minutes of play. Jessica Spicer s two free throws at 10:48 ended Lafayette s scoring drought but Army s lead remained in double figures (16-4). Spicer s basket from three-point range cut the lead to 11 (18-7) with less than nine minutes remaining. Van De Venter s layup at 4:35 brought the Leopards within single digits of Army (20-12) and her jumper made it a four-point game (22-18) but an 8-2 run by the Black Knights to close the half gave them a 30-20 lead at the break. It took four minutes to score the first points of the second half as Brittany Purr s free throw at 16:04 made the score 30-21. Purr s basket less than two minutes later trimmed the Black Knights lead back to single digits (32-24) and a Spicer free throw made the score 32-25 with over 13 minutes still to play. The lead remained in single digits (38-30) after two Van De Venter free throws at 8:01. Lafayette trailed by eight (47-39) with three minutes remaining before Van De Venter s layup with 42 seconds to play made the score 48-41. Lafayette could not pull any closer and two free throws by Stone with 22 seconds on the clock sealed the 10-point Army win.

LEHIGH 62, LAFAYETTE 51 March 8, 2008 CHRISTL ARENA WEST POINT, N.Y. - Lafayette could not overcome a hot-shooting Lehigh squad and suffered a 62-51 loss to the Mountain Hawks in the opening round of the Patriot League Tournament. Senior Vanessa Van De Venter led the Leopards in scoring with 15 points, including 11 in the opening half, but a fast start from Lehigh to open the game proved too much to overcome. Lafayette shot nearly 39 percent from the field but the Mountain Hawks countered with a 40-percent showing. The Mountain Hawks jumped out to a 6-2 lead, one they never relinquished, before Brittany Purr cut the lead to three (6-3) with a free throw at 16:40. A Haly Crites basket gave Lehigh a double-digit lead (15-5) with 13:29 remaining before two Van De Venter free throws at 12:10 ended the Leopards scoring drought and made it a 15-7 game. Jessica Spicer s layup with 4:46 to play kept the Leopards within seven of the lead (25-18) but Lehigh saw its lead increase to 10 (31-21) after Alex Ross basket at the 2:06 mark and the Leopards went into halftime trailing 35-27. Spicer opened the second half with a three-pointer but Lehigh remained up by nine (39-30) after a Melissa Rich free throw at 17:24. Van De Venter cut Lehigh s lead to single digits (42-34) with a basket at 13:40 before Courtney Dentler s three-pointer as the shot clock expired gave Lehigh a 45-34 advantage. Spicer scored her ninth points of the half with a three-point play at 9:15 to bring Lafayette within four (45-41) and Emily Garner s first basket of the game cut Lehigh s lead to just two (45-43) with 8:40 still to play. That was as close as Lafayette would get as two-consecutive baskets from Crites put Lehigh back up by eight (51-43) with 5:22 remaining. The score stood at 54-45 in favor of the Mountain Hawks with fewer than four minutes to play and Smith s three at 2:38 made it a 57-45 game. Two Ross free throws with 49 seconds on the clock secured the 62-51 win over the Leopards.
