Viking_Yearbook_93

The dream falls short, but season stil continued from last page Following Cox’s injury, the Vikings dropped four of five games. A loss at home on January 6 to the University of Portland broke the Vikings’ 31-game home court winning streak, but the Vikings rebounded and began the stretch run of their season by winning 11 of 12 to end the season. “I knew that if we played to our potential, we would be able to repeat what we did last year,” Stemple said of 1992. “I envisioned that. I didn’t know if it was too big of a dream, but as the season went on I thought that that was realistic for this [1993] team.” Realistic, maybe. But in reality, it didn’t happen. Another basketball season on the Park Blocks had come to an end. The positives, sur­ prisingly, outweighed the negatives in a season filled with injuries and adaptation to half a dozen new players. “I didn’t expect us to go quite as far as we did,” Cox said. “I’m very pleased that we did.” Story by CZfiris ..... ■ ■ .................. • • • Left: Viking center Sheri Stemple, left, leaps for a jump bail versus an Idaho opponent as teammate Anne McShane, right, awaits the decision.
