Shaya Bryant led the way with 17 points and Carly Brown and Keya Byrd added 14 apiece as Lower Mer-ion crushed host Radnor, 57-37. Boys' basketball West Catholic, with the help of perfect shooting from the free-throw line and Scott Galloway's game-winning layup with four seconds remaining, sent Cardinal O'Hara home with a 46-44 setback and pulled into a three-way tie for fourth place in the Catholic League South. Galloway finished with 12 points, three steals and two blocks, while John Friel contributed 11 points and Jamal Palmer grabbed 10 rebounds.

The Burrs (9-12, 4-6), who made good on all nine free-throw attempts, survived after O'Hara threw away its last inbounds pass. Steve LaFashia had 18 points and Joe Collins 10 to lead O'Hara (7-14, 4-6), which is tied with West Catholic and St. James for fourth place. Inter-Ac. Episcopal rallied from a 4440 deficit in the final period to come away with a 56-55 win at Penn Charter.

Mike Palumbo converted a one-and-one with 35 seconds remaining to win it for the who got 22 points from Mike Abate. Steve Goodrich had 21 points to lead Penn Charter. The Quakers held for the last shot after Palumbo's free throws and missed with five seconds left. Catholic League North Jennifer Ricco proved unstoppable against Frankford yesterday, pouring in 39 points and grabbing 17 rebounds in leading host Mastbaum to a 69-54 victory in the quarterfinal round of the Public League girls' basketball playoffs. The win moved Mastbaum into a semifinal matchup with defending league champion Martin Luther King on Feb.

21 at the Civic Center. The Panthers broke out to a 21-10 lead and never looked back as Ricco, a senior swing guard, finished the first half with 24 points. Martha Lu-kasienski scored 17, Jennifer Wakefield netted 10 and Cindy Edinger pulled down a dozen rebounds to go with her three points for Mastbaum. Frankford received 19 points apiece from Kisha Thompson and Kristin Smereczynski and 10 points from KimBurski. In other Public League quarterfi-nafaction: Sharnine Stokes had a game-high 31 'points, Michele Epps contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds and Tiffany Scott had 10 points along with five assists to power King past visiting Northeast, 77-57.

Northeast got 21 points from Kim Schaffrick and 19 from Joan Efthimiou, but the Vikings saw a five-point halftime deficit mushroom in a 25-11 third-quarter burst by King. University City, ranked eighth in The Inquirer's Southeastern Pennsylvania Top 10, built a 21-6 lead and coasted from there in burying visiting Central, 72-29. Denique Graves totaled 21 points, 22 rebounds and 11 blocked shots, Shawnetta Stewart scored 18 and Lisa Briggs posted 12 points, 18 rebounds and 11 assists in the rout. Keysha Council's six points were high for Central. University City's semifinal opponent will be Franklin Learning Center, a 62-36 winner at Overbrook.

Warner, with 20 points anr tiine rebounds, led four FLC scorers in double figures. Synquala Mosley had 17 points, Ruby Felder netted 15 and Marlene Smith chipped in 10 points and five blocks to help the Bobcats avenge a 68-66 overtime loss to Overbrook in the regular season.

No matter. Shawn Trice was there for the easy follow, causing Columbia coach Rohan to throw up his arms. Penn took a 40-24 lead with that and added another basket with three seconds left as Allen drove the lane and hit freshman sparkplug Tim Krug with a diagonal pass for an easy jumper. The weirdest statistic of the first half was a testament to Penn's frenetic over-playing on defense. Columbia shot 52.6 percent but had just 24 points.

Westtown, the defending league champion, suffered its only league loss and finished in second place. Miyazaki pinned Fazte Chu in the third period of their 103-pound bout. Monach followed with a fall over Dale Lertjuntherangool at 112. The Cougars received another pivotal win by Jay Paramsothy at 125.

Keys to the game: For the Quakers, making the most of the height advantages they have, especially on Parker, and, as always, running their offense. For the Big Red, doing a good job on the boards and staying with Allen and Maloney. Injuries: None reported. Penn preview: The Quakers have been able to win a lot of games recently playing well for 10- and 15-minute stretches. Penn's guards are looking for Trice setting up in the lane, and Trice is doing a good job of redistributing the ball or taking the shot himself.

Cornell preview: The Big Red will not be intimidated by this game. They have played at Syracuse, Seton Hall and North Carolina. They came into the weekend having won six of their last seven games and four straight in the Ivy League.

Injuries: No new ones reported. Keys to the game: Temple must take care of the ball and try to force the Mountaineers to turn it over. West Virginia must pressure Temple's guards to take advantage of the Owls' lack of backcourt depth. West Virginia preview: The Mountaineers, who beat Rutgers, 77-66, on Thursday, have lost seven of their eight games on the road. They are shooting 45.8 percent from the field, while allowing opponents to shoot only 40.2 percent.

Temple update: The Owls have lost four straight games for the first time since 1982-83, Chaney's first season as their coach, and have dropped six of their last seven. Mike Bruton dims Dougherty's playoff hopes PENN from C1 Five Quakers were in double figures. The team's leading scorer, Matt Maloney, had only 9, but his main job this time was distributing the ball, throwing some fancy inside passes for layups and one gorgeous alley-oop to Jerome Allen for a dunk. Allen had an alley-oop pass of his own to Pierce in the first half. That was what Rohan was talking about.

Penn's guards working on alley-oops. Scary stuff in this conference. Columbia has a pretty talented guard of its own in senior Buck Jenkins, who has won the league scoring title the last two seasons and is on his way to a third. He came in averaging 22.2 points a game. This time Jenkins had 19, the only Lions starter in double figures, and he made just one of six three-pointers.

Jenkins is used to heavy traffic. He grew up in New Jersey right where the Turnpike meets the Garden State. But Allen was giving him all he could handle. No room at all. When Jenkins made a shot, it was on his own initiative, with Allen's hand in his face.

This was the best duel of the night. "I just wanted to make him work as hard as possible for whatever he got," said Allen, who led the Quakers with 16 points on six-for-eight shooting and had 7 assists with Jenkins guarding him. "I knew that he is a great player. I didn't want to give him anything cheap." Penn had three dunks and 11 more layups in the first half. Three-pointers seemed to be outlawed.

The Quakers tried just three and weren't close with any. They also had 12 offensive rebounds; most were put-backs for easy baskets. "We'd like to see that kind of ball movement and that kind of patience every night," Dunphy said. "That's as patient as we can get." Drexel at Hartford 7:45 p.m., the Sjoorfs Center, Hartford, Conn.

Records: Drexel, 15-5 overall, 7-1 North Atlantic Conference; Hartford, 8-1 1, 3-5. Coaches: Drexel, Bill Herrion (second season, 31-19); Hartford, Paul Brazeau (first season, 8-11). Starting lineups: Drexel Matt Pearson, 6-3, 6.8 ppg. Matt Attar, 6-6, 5.5. Malik Rose, 6-7, 12.3.

Ricardo Roderick, 6-4, 9.8. GJackAyer, 6-2, 10.6. Key to the game: Drexel has to control Baker, the second-leading scorer in the nation. Injuries: For Hartford, Pritikin has a sprained right ankle, Baker has a sprained right foot and Ayer has a bruised right shin. All are probable.

Hartford preview: Baker has scored 40 percent of the Hawks' points and pulled down 29 percent of their rebounds. He averages 36 minutes a game. Like a lot of NAC teams, Hartford is built around one player who gets little support. Drexel update: The Dragons are looking to extend their win streak to nine games. The last time any Drexel team had won eight straight was under Eddie Burke in 1985-86.

Catholic i By Frank Lawlor INQUIRER STAFF WRITER I liwt-r A traditional February hunting season has opened, the one for the fourth-place playoff berths in the Catholic League's two divisions. In the North Division last night, that meant that first-place North Catholic even on its own cramped and unwelcoming floor found itself under threat from seventh-place Cardinal Dougherty, which is not yet mathematically eliminated.

North is known for the exploits of senior guards Matt Comey, Joe Harvey and Ryan Bonner, but last night two little-known senior forwards came to the rescue as the Falcons won, 74-69.

Injuries: None for either team. Villanova update: The Wildcats lost the first meeting (at the Meadowlands by 66-61) in a game that wasn't decided until the final minutes. Walker hurt the Wildcats in that game and might again. Seton Had preview: The Pirates, ranked No. 19, seem to be regrouping after a stretch during which they lost five of seven games.

Once Dehere gets untracked, this might be a dangerous team come NCAA tournament time.

Women Drexel routed as Vermont climbs to 19-0 By Mel Greenberg TOR THE INQUIRER What's it like to be run over by Vermont, the nation's only undefeated Division I women's basketball team? Just listen to Drexel coach Kristen Foley after the visiting Catamounts beat her Dragons, 80-58, in a North Atlantic Conference game at the Physical Education Athletic Center in West Philadelphia last night.

"They jump you with their press," said Foley, whose team fell to 4-16 overall and remained winless in the league at 0-8. "Then they jam you with their 2-2-1. And then they 'zam' you in the quarter-court." The Dragons, who had been blasted, 9646, at Vermont, last month, jumped to a 21-12 lead in the opening nine minutes. But the dream of an upset began to fade when Vermont (19-0 overall, 8-0 league), ranked No. 17, forced them into eight quick turnovers and took a 34-32 lead into the locker room.

Still, there was much cause for optimism on the part of Drexel at intermission. The Dragons were shooting 50 percent from the field, and Sheri Turnbull, Vermont's leading scorer, had been shut out. However, the Catamounts opened the second half with a 9-0 spurt that became a 20-8 burst through the first 10 minutes, and that quickly settled affairs. Jen Niebling led Vermont with 25 points and hit 5 of 6 shots from three- point range. Sharon Bay added 18 points.

Mark Cunningham posted his best high school effort, scoring 18 points and grabbing nine rebounds. His partner, Mike Hartzell, added 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Neither is the type to get much attention from fans or college coaches. But when the need presented itself last night, both stepped in to fill it. "It wasn't much, really," said Cunningham.

"Teams try so hard to stop Matt, Joe and Ryan that we should get easy shots. I missed a couple layups I should have made." Cunningham, who saw more crunch time after another senior forward, Joe Carter, injured his knee in the first quarter, went 3 for 4 from Butler at La Salle Civic Center. Broadcast: WSSJ-AM (1310), WNPV-AM(1440). Records: La Salle, 9-1 1, 4-4 in Midwestern Collegiate Conference; Butler, 9-1 1, 4-4. Coaches: La Salle, Speedy Morris (seventh year, 148-63); Butler, Barry Collier (fourth year, 54-53).

Starting lineups: La Salle Blitz Wooten, 6-7, 7.8 ppg. Don Shelton, 6-8, 3.8. Jeff Neubauer, 6-4, 3.5. GPaul Burke, 6-1, 13.0. Kareem Townes, 6-3, 21.3.

Butler Brian Beauford, 6-5, 12.2. Danny Allen, 6-9, 5.2. Katara Reliford, 6-5, 9.6. Tim Bowen, 5-8, 6.3. Jermaine Guice, 6-4, 18.7.

Keys to the game: For La Salle, rebounding better and showing more fire than it did in losing, 63-41, to Evansville. For Butler, relying on the slashing drives of Guice and the inside play of Reliford. Injuries: For Butler, junior forward John Taylor (knee). Butler preview: The Bulldogs won the season's first meeting, 64-59, at Indianapolis thanks to a 39-27 rebounding edge. They are coming off a 78-64 loss at Duquesne in which they shot just 37 percent.

The Bulldogs are 1-7 on the road. La Salle update: After their 71-44 home loss to Penn, the Explorers went out two nights later and defeated a fine James Madison team. So maybe they can shrug off their 22-point loss to Evansville and turn it around tonight. JoeJuliano I.
