Dee Liles, UM escape FSU with win

Josh Weinfuss — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 23:15:09 +0000

Former Gulf Coast Lady Commodore Dee Liles paid a visit to north Florida last night, along with her University of Maryland teammates.

The Lady Terrapins won 72-71 on a last-second shot by Kristi Toliver. Liles, a junior, played 36 minutes, second only to Toliver’s 40, and scored 10 points.

She’s established herself as one of the top newcomers in the country. For the season, she’s averaging 11.5 points per game and a team-high 8.9 rebounds.

Last season at Gulf Coast, Liles was named the player of the year after she helped the Lady Commodores to the national championship.

Once again, Gulf Coast was the highest ranked Panhandle Conference team in this week’s women’s NJCAA national Top 25.

The Lady Commodores were ranked sixth, followed by Chipola at No. 7 and Pensacola at No. 8. Northwest Florida State is ranked 16th.

Check out the NJCAA women’s poll here.

Men
Chipola remained on top of this week’s men’s NJCAA Top 25 after it stayed perfect in Panhandle Conference play.

The only other Panhandle team ranked is Northwest Florida State, which has lost three in a row and four of its five conference games. The voters must have missed that.
