Aim for the third tile, was the coach's di- rection to players practicing foul shots.2 Arriving on Maryland's campus for a game, Trinity's women quickly saw that the Lady Terps3 did not have much better facilities. The game took place in a cramped low-ceilinged shed along a dark side f Patricia McGuire has been president of Trinity Washington University since 1989.
