Fighting Saints lose first-round game to Lee ■The Fighting Saints basketball team’s hopes in the NAIA tourna ment were ended by cold shooting in their loss to Lee. By HOWARD RICHMAN Special to the IR It wasn't the best of days for Gary Lynch and the Saints. Lynch shot a tough 1-for-19 from the floor and Carroll fell in the first-round game of the NAIA tournament for the third year in a row, dropping a 68-58 decision to Lee of Cleveland, Tenn., at Municipal Auditorium Wednesday, March 26. And though Carroll, which finished 27-8, made only 22 of 68 shots (32.4 percent), and was even worse from where it usually is best, Carroll coach Gary Turcott said his team had their chances. \There were times we came down and they didn't even guard us,\ Carroll coach Gary Turcott said. \They just let us shoot it.\ Didn't matter. The Fighting Saints sank a mere nine of 43 3-pointers for 20.9 percent. That's way below its average of 42.1, second-best among NAIA teams in the country. Lynch was 0-for-13 from three-point range before he finally drained one from the left cor- Carroll students Lowe, By Kevin Shively Staff Reporter With America fighting a war in Iraq, several Carroll students have been voicing their opin ions around campus. Ryan Lowe, sophomore computer science major, and Josh Mouat, sophomore elementary education major, are two students who have made an impact on Carroll by voicing their opinions. Lowe and Mouat began a peace rally at Founders’ Comer a few weeks ago, and have been back every Friday since from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. “I just think there should be a different way of going about things,” said Lowe. “Right now America is taking things to an extreme just to get rid of one man.” Lowe and Mouat’s peace rallies have been gaining popularity and the two have been joined by several other students who disagree with the war. “I didn’t mean for this to be a war protest,” said Lowe, “but it got going and more and more people started showing up.” ner with only 44.1 seconds left on the clock. The All-American forward finished one-for- 16 on three-pointers, and his basket snapped his zero-for-17 slump from the field. In all, Carroll missed its first 11 three-pointers. \We got every shot we wanted,\ Carroll jun ior guard Randy Ranalli said, \So this was a surprise. They (Lee) played man-to-man, but we got our shots. Our game is a perimeter game, so we stuck with it. We have such good shooters. I just can't believe it.\ For all its shortcomings from the field, Carroll was still able to build a 41-38 lead when sophomore forward Andy Brown scored with 10 minutes, 16 seconds remaining. Lee, the No. 16 seed, went on an 11-2 run, capped by Armard Ross's three-point play, giv ing the Flames a 49-43 advantage with 7:18 left. It only got worse for Carroll when Lee went up 59-46 on Jahmal Rich's layup with 4:05 left in the game. Lee, 28-7, only shot 40 percent. But the Flames shot 43 percent in the second half when they burned the Fighting Saints down the stretch. \We really defended them well,\ Turcott said, \but eventually you're not going to hold them down forever.\ Carroll, which held its biggest lead of five points at halftime, 28-23, surprised Lee senior Their message of peace continued to be told long after their three-hour rally ended. Lowe and Mouat said, “We didn’t have a really strong turn-out at the peace rally, but it was still a very powerful event.” PEACE PROTEST: Carroll students protest the war with Iraq at Founders’ Comer on Friday, March 20. Other events have been organized at the Capitol and in Memorial Park guard Brandon Fritz. \They were more physical than we thought. We had to play through that,\ Fritz said. \At halftime, coach (Rick Hughes) told us we weren't going inside enough. The big men started scoring, took over the game.\ Ross, a 6-6 junior, paced Lee with 20 points. The Fighting Saints had four players in dou ble figures, led by senior forward Jeff Mason with 15. Ranalli added 12, while Brown and junior guard Greg Johnson had 10 apiece. But it was Lynch's troubles that caught Carroll off guard. Lynch went into the game as Carroll's leading scorer at 19.5 points per game. \He got a lot of open looks,\ Fritz said. \He just wasn't in a rhythm. Thank goodness for that.\ Turcott said: \ I feel so bad for Gary. He had a great year. I don't know what happened to ' him. Maybe he got tired. He got a lot of good looks. They contested some of our shots early, but we still got some pretty good looks.\ So Carroll's all done, completing a season in which it set a school record for victories. Ranalli was upset because he thought the Fighting Saints had an opportunity to go far. \I thought this was our year,\ he said. \I thought we had a good draw. Nothing against them (Lee). I just thought we could do some thing here. It's heartbreaking. That's basket- At 10 p.m. later one Friday evening, several candles forming the peace sign were still burn ing brightly outside the Cube entrance. The group is also joining other protests and rallies around town. “We’re joining one up at Safeway this Friday (March 20) as well,” said Lowe. Other students take a different stance on the war. Cadet Dan Synness, a member of the Carroll ROTC program is one. “No one in our country wants war,” said Synness. “That’s the worst thing that can hap pen, but it comes down to the point that if we don’t take preventative measures, we could have another Sept. 11 on our hands, only much worse. A chemical or biological could be next.” It is clear with many events and protests in the past few weeks that everyone has an opin ion about the war in Iraq. The discussion on the students boards is also a clear indication of differing student opinions. For more pictures from the peace rally and students’ opinions on the war in Iraq, turn to page 4 ...
