man forward Kathryn Westbeld posted
a double-double with 10 points and
12 rebounds to go with three assists,
a steal and a block. The third fresh-
man, energetic guard Mychal Johnson,
scored nine points and handed out a
team-high seven assists with no turn-
overs and recorded four steals.
During the 6-0 start that was high-
lighted with an 81-73 victory at Michi-
gan State (ranked No. 16 in the Nov.
24 Associated Press poll), the All-
American Loyd and potential National
Freshman of the Year Turner became
established as the outside-inside tan-
dem to stretch defenses.
Loyd averaged 19.8 points and 5.5
rebounds per game, while Turner was
pouring in 16.7 points and pulling
down 6.7 rebounds per contest. That
was in just over one half's worth of
work because sophomore point guard
Lindsay Allen's 22.7 minutes per game
paced the team. Ten different Irish
players averaged a minimum of 13
minutes.
What McGraw is seeking is a con-
sistent third scorer, which she had last
year with Loyd (18.6 points per game)
and the graduated Kayla McBride
(17.6) and center Natalie Achonwa
(14.9).
On any given night it could be Re-
imer (9.3 points and a team-best 6.8 re-
bounds per game), Mabrey (8.0 points
per game), Allen (8.0 points per game)
or Westbeld (7.8 points per game), but
the Irish head coach would prefer a
constant third threat to emerge. ✦
