PANTHER

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Freshman seals deal Aubrey Hampton converted six free throws in the final 24 seconds for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee to help secure a 64-59 victory at the U.S. Cellular Arena on Thursday, Jan. 8. UWM (5-7 overall, 2-0 Horizon) held off a late three-point barrage by Butler (4-9, 1-2) in the waning moments of the contest. With UWM up by three in the closing seconds, Butler's Jessi­ ca Monaco had a three-pointer rim out to into the hands of Hamp­ ton who calmly drilled two more free throws to give the Pan­ thers the final edge. "They hit some big shots at the end of the game, and when I stepped to the line I knew I had to put the game away," said Hampton. Maria Viall, who had foul trouble in the first half, led UWM with 24 points and eight rebounds. Viall maintained her normal poise by scoring UWM's first 10 points of the second half, but Butler managed to keep a 43-39 lead at the 11:17 mark. The Panthers regained the lead, 44-43 after an Anne Witte three- pointer and a Teri Huff driving lay up. UWM would stretch the lead to 56-48 with 2:47 to go, thanks to a Viall turnaround jumper. Butler did not back down, though, as they converted three three-pointers after forcing three consecutive UWM turnovers, cutting the lead to one at 60-59. The Panthers did not allow Butler to get any closer, as Hampton sealed the deal with four straight points from the free throw line. "I think we are going to see this in almost every league game," UWM head coach Sandy Botham said. "Butler is a very improved team and we are fortunate to get the win." eet level next to Union In —Nicholas Bragg 414.229.

Hampton scored a career-high 17 points and dished out a career-high seven assists. Loyola's Meskehenet Lands led the Ramblers with 18 points. Loyola rebounded from a 50-47 deficit, as they went on a 13-4 run mid-way through the second half to give them a 60- 54 lead. But UWM was not going away, as they rebounded to knot the game at 64 with less than five minutes to go. Down 73-71, the Panthers were looking to tie the game on the last possession. Witte put a shot, missed and then Viall grabbed the rebound and was fouled, sending her to the line with 1.9 to go. The overtime was controlled by UWM. —Nick Dettmann Vikings subdue Panthers comeback Horizon League leading University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women did not exactly play up to their billing in a 59-57 loss to Cleveland State University on Thursday, Jan. 15. The tight-knitted match-up came down wire, but two missed shots by Kiley Johnson and Maria Viall in the final 15 seconds sealed the victory for the Vikings. CSU, who snapped their eight-game regular season losing streak to UWM (6-8 overall, 3-1 Horizon League), improved 7-8 overall and 4-1 in the league with the win. Subsequently, they came out firing by taking a 31-20 lead at the half. Poor shoot­ ing and turnovers haunted UWM in the first half, as they were able to connect on only 23 percent of their shots and commit­ ted nine turnovers. At the 17:37 mark of the second half, freshman point guard Aubrey Hampton went down with an injury to her right knee. Despite losing Hampton, the Panthers showed some grit and continued to play inspired basketball in the second half. UWM eventually trimmed the commanding Viking lead to 10, but then gave it right back when CSU Guard Erin Martin canned a three-pointer pushing the CSU lead to 49-36. The Panthers continued to fight back, eventually cutting the CSU lead back down to 55-53 on an Anne Witte three-pointer, which was immediately followed by a Nichole Drummond lay- up off the glass with only 1:12 to go in the game. Drummond, who led all. scorers with 22 points, provided a much-needed spark for the UWM offense throughout the night, followed a Shannon Sword basket with yet another driving lay- up to keep the Panthers within a basket. On the ensuing possession, UWM's Maria Viall was able to haul in one of her 10 defensive rebounds, ensuring that the Panthers would have a shot at tying the ball game. After charting a play, Johnson missed her jumper and Viall was unable to put in two follow-up attempts. —Steve Pease
