We're here • Marian Tips Harvard Double Overtime Shot Questioned Some watched in ecstasy, some watched in diabelief, and yet others watched in bitter anger as Marian Central's Sandi Kasting took a pass from guard Debbie Liggett and connected on a five foot jumper at the buzzer. It took two overtimes, but the Hurricanes knocked the Harvard Hornets out of the Johnsburg Regional, 38-34, and advanced into the Hampshire Sectionals. There was some question as to whether Kasting's last-secona shot left ha* hands before the buzzer soundetvin. the over lime. Harvard coach Dave Schwengei could not believe that the basket counted, but knew that the call was purely judgment on part of the referee and coula not be cont "What can I say," Schwengei mutter According to Marian coach, Mary St oner, the last-second heroics prompted her to side with the Harvard coach. "I thought he was going to say no basket, "she admitted. The game was somewhat lethargic from the start as Harvard took a 6-4 first period lead. The second quarter proved costly for Harvard, however, as Marian outscored the Hornet girls 10-1 to take a 16-7 lead into the intermission. Jackie Weber and Sandi Kasting each tallied 6 of the 16 Hurricane first half points. Harvard came back slightly in the third period, outscoring Marian, 10-8, but still trailed 24-17 entering the final eight minutes. On some swift buckets by Lori Kramarczyk and Kim Koch, Harvard outscored Marian, 10-3 during the balance of regulation play. With 1:28 to go in the fourth period, Hurricane guard Jackie Weber converted a three-point play which gave Marian a 27-24 lead. Harvard's Pam Jones, however, came back with a jumper and Lori Kramarczyk capitalized on a Marian foul by hitting two charity shots with :50 left. The remaining time wasted away on the wings of a Marian stall as they failed to hit with :10 remaining. During the first overtime, Krama a free throw and Pam Jones c ' . *t on two charity shots to give Harvard a quick, 30-17 lead.

Jeber tied the game again at 34 on two free throws. Following repeated turnovers, violations, and several last-minute timeouts by both teams, the Hurricanes aot the ball out of bounds with four seconds remaining. Weber got the ball to Ligget, who found Kasting all alone on the baseline when the final buzzer sounded. Weber led all scorers for the evening with 30 points while Kasting had 10.
