FEASTER LEADS WOMEN'S CAGERS' STORMING OF SOUTHERN ILLINOIS

Junior Allison Feaster led the Harvard women's baskeball team with 24 points and nine rebounds in a 76-52 win over Southern Illinois yesterday at the Copper Bowl Classic in Tuscon, Arizona.

After a sloppy first half in which neither team shot over 31 percent from the floor, the Crimson exploded for 50 second-half points on 20-for-34 shooting to gain the victory.

Co-captain Jessica Gelman, junior Rose Janowski, sophomore Suzie Miller and junior Sarah Brandt scored all their points in the second half.

Feaster was the only Harvard player to hit double-figures in points, as the Crimson spread its scoring over 12 different players. Feaster also hit all five of her free-throws-half the Crimson's total.

Southern Illinois was led by Theia Hudson, who scored 14 points. -- Eric F. Brown
