another 12 points at the begin-
ning of the second half, which
told the tale of the game. High
scorers for Selkirk were Kim
Canary with 11, Lynn Martin
with nine and Anne Birukow
eight.

Cariboo College had four
women in double figures led by
Sandi Kelly with 13.

Cariboo started off Satur-
day's game by taking the first

' 30 points from then on, the

game see-sawed back and
fourth, with Selkirk coming
within four at the close of the
first half.

Cariboo started the second
half by outscoring Selkirk 11-4,

scored the last eight points to

Leading scorers were
Lynn Martin with 17 and Diane
Geary with eight. Sandi Kelly's
12 and Linda Borger's 14
topped the Cariboo scoring.

In the men’s game, the
defense kept Cariboo at bay
until the offense came alive
near the end of the first half to
lead 39-26. In the second half,

leading 60-34, Selkirk substi-
tuted freely and gave the bench
some playing time.

The defense was lacking as
the subs were concentrating
too much on offense and
Cariboo scored the last~ 12

points to end the game at 83-66. -

Leading ‘the Saints were
Kim Becker with 32, Steve
Richards with 21 and Grant
Bennett and Sean Hanraham,
both with 11, Ron Nash scored
19 for Cariboo, i

On Saturday, Selkirk start-
ed fast and broke to a 23-9 lead
by playing good defense and
taking advantage of sloppy
Cariboo play to fast break.
After the initial.rush the game
became sloppy as the defense
started to cheat and let Cariboo
get some easy buckets.

The first half ended 45-33
for Selkirk and the game ended
89-74 for Selkirk as the subs
received more playing time.

Kim Becker again led all
scorers with 28, followed by
Grant Bennett with 17, Steve
Richards with 14, Bruce Hlady
with 12 and Joe Tarasoff with
10. Renee
Ron Nash again led Cari-
boo with 26 and Kevin Lee
popped 17.

Coach Zeeben was pleased
to see four and five players in
double figures. “Our guys were

* finally looking and hitting the

open man and heading maning
the ball much better—and it
shows on better all-round scor-
ing. Also, our defense in the
first half of the first game was

* excellent.”

Next action for the Saints
will be tomorrow and Saturday,
as they travel to Okanagan
College in Kelowna and then
return,home for a rematch witli
College of New Caledonia
(Prince George) on Friday
evening and Saturday morning
of next week.

Hockey action in the west-
ern division of the Kootenay
International Junior Hockey
League saw the Castlegar

- Junior Rebels win three con-

secutive games in as many
atarts last week, downing Nel-
son 6-2, Creston 5-2, and
Rossland 9-5,

In Nelson on Tuesday, the
Rebels completely dominated
the game, keeping their hosts
tied up in their end most of the
night. Chris Vlanich had an
easy night, making only 13
saves,

Nelson scored first when,
dumping the puck high in the
air, Kevin Wilson stepped
across Vlanich knocking the
puck past a startled goaltender.
Another defensive error caused
Nelson's second goal as Glen
Dunsmore threw the puck in
the slot blind to a Nelson
player.

Bruno Tassone, centering
Ken Schisler and Dave Kirby,
formed a new line which
provided three goals by Tas-
sone, along with power play
goals scored by Verigin and
Jeff Townsend,

Nelson goalie Mike Susak

nutes and the Rebels played
two men short,

It was only the hard work
of Chris Vianich, Brian Verigin,
Kevin Wilson and Gord Pace
that kept the Clippers off the
scoreboard,

The game continued up
and down the ice with Castle-
gar making the most of their
scoring chances, winning 5-2,

Both teams received a
good hand after the game._

On home ice Saturday

night, a pumped-up Rebel team

blasted seven unanswered |

goals and coasted to an easy 9-5
victory over’ Rossland before
640 fans.

“The players wanted to see
if they could handle Rossland if
they put their minds to it, and I
think they handled it with no
problems,” stated coach Pezzin.

Rossland seldom saw
Castlegar’s end, except when
they had the power play, but
Steve Bozek and Bruno Tas-
sone shortened their attempt,
scoring shorthanded goals 17
seconds apart.

Brian Verigin scored three
more Castlegar goals, with
singles by John Makaroff, Bru-

on a pair of breakaways by

Friday's game in. Creston
was possibly the most exciting
game of the season, played
before 700 Clipper fans.

Coach Pezzin stated “This
game gives me more reason to
believe that’ our fans get
cheated in some good hockey by
cutting down the games against
the eastern division. It was the
best game of 60-minute hockey
that our team has played this

After being benched for a
couple of games, John Makaroff
responded positively Friday
night by registering a hat-trick
—all the goals coming off the
wing with hard slap shots,

The most exciting minutes
of the game were during the 2-2
tie score. Dave Kirby scored
the go-ahead with the referee
nulifying the goal. The ensuing
arguments led to two minor
penalties and a bench to toss;
18 seconds later, Bozek.went to

“Overall, the -team's im.

provement has come with new
enthusiasm in practices carried
over to the games, according to
Pezzin.”

He feels the three lines of

TesFone-Kirby; Pace
Martin-Makaroff; Sherstobi-
toff-Bozek-Sorenson have given
them hard work with scoring
balance. Inserting Jeff Town-
send in a defensive spot has
given them more stability on
defence,

For the playoffs, Pezzin
hopes to insert Tim Paul into
the lineup to bolster the
defence, if he recovers from his
back injury. He also hopes to
have Ed Smith when his school
is over.

_ Pezzin says if the attitude
change continues, the Rebels
should prove to give Trail a
tough time, since they have too
many players who know what it
takes to win.

The Rebels have three
games left in the regular
season; they host Grand Forks
tonight, then play in Trail
tomorrow, and host Spokane on
