Hyder s late basket secures fifth
straight Mean Green victory
Tim Cato
Senior Staff Writer
The game went down to the wire,
but the UNT women's basketball team
extended its win streak to five games
Thursday night with a 70-68 defeat of
Florida International University.
Two of the Mean Green's freshmen,
forward Alexis Hyder and guard
Loryn Goodwin, shined for the Mean
Green (7-10,6-2). Hyder hit a layup to
take the lead with 25.2 seconds left in
the game, recording 20 points, eight
rebounds and two blocks on the night.
"We really needed this win, and
also for the next game coming up,"
Goodwin said." We are showing more
maturity and poise. We're stepping up
more. We're growing up Alexis and I
know we have to step up"
Head coach Mke Petersen said he
saw growth in the whole team, not
only in the two freshmen.
"Our team's maturing over the
course of time, which is good because
frankly, some teams never do that," he
said. "I think it's a pretty good indi-
cation that we've kind of figured out
how to keep playing and fighting."
UlMT's defense agitated the Panthers
(10-7, 4-4) all night, forcing 15 steals
while often utilizing the aggres-
sive full-court press defense, which
the coaches introduced this season.
Goodwin tallied four steals to go With
19 points and six rebounds.

Thursday night in Miami securing its fifth win in a row
limited FIU junior guard Jerica Coley
to 15 points on 33 percent shooting.
Coming into the game, she was aver-
aging 23.8 point a game, good for third
best in the NCAA.
Seeking a sixth
The Mean Green will be put to
the test again on Saturday against
another Sun Belt Conference oppo-
nent, Florida Atlantic University (9-7,
6-2). FAU was perfect against confer-
ence teams until losing consecutive
games last weekend.
"Florida Atlantic plays a little bit
like us," Petersen said. "They want to
go up and down. They want to dictate
tempo. We'll have to go on the road
and play really well."
Junior guard Laura McCoy said she
feels the team has a lot of confidence
from its winning stretch, but knows
the Owls will be yet another challenge.
"FAU pressures for the whole game
so we're going to have to care of that/*
she said.
The game tips off at 2 p.m. on
Saturday from the FAU Arena in Boca
Raton, Fla.
