"We wanted revenge so badly," said the senior wing. "Before the game, I thought I'd give anything to win this game outright." It wasn't the easiest game for the Quakers to win outright, however.

The North squad set full assault throughout the second half, with Quaker halfbacks Cindy Eberly, Rhunette Smith, Sue Harrison and Lisa Adams, who played with an ankle sprain, combating the pressure. Especialy impressive was the effort of Kyle Kohler, normally an inner. Kohler, another senior, played fullback for the first time Saturday and fronted tested goalie Cathy Costello well, stopping a pair of almost-sure goals on her own. "It was the defense that kept us in the game those final 15 minutes, "said McGugan. "There's no doubt about that.

Without them, anything we (the offense) had done wouldn't have mattered." What did matter, of course, was the final irony of Deren's flick. Through- By MARY ELLEN DRISCOIX Courier-Post Staff WEST WINDSOR-Throughout this season, Barbara McGugan and Linda Love have been almost forgotten on the Moorestown High line. Both are steady, dependable and talented players. Both, as it happens, also play on the same line with Basia Deren, one of the most talented hockey players ever to pass through the halls of Moorestown High, which has seen some very talented hockey players. Deren's talent did not go unnoticed by Ramsey, the North Jersey champion.

And, with Deren double-teamed on Saturday, McGugan and Love directed the offense to lead the Quakers to a 2-1 win and the state Group 3 championship at Mercer County Park here. Love centered a stellar pass to McGugan with a shade under 20 minutes gone in the first half to tie the score at 1-1, after Ramsey's Nancy Brady spotted the North squad a 1-0 lead early.

The two-time defending state champion started this season like gangbusters, slumped mildly in the middle, only to regroup for a flashing finale. Against Butler, the four-time South Jersey champ began and ended like a team on fire, slumping a little in the middle. After a torrid beginning, which saw seven shots by Haddonfield in the first 15 minutes, the Haddons regrouped to rally for a 1-1 tie with Butler and their third straight Group 2 state title.

"When we started this game, the way we started, we thought we were going to run all over them," said Jeanne Clapp, who centered a picture-perfect pass to Martha Cave for the Haddonfield goal. "They used scoops and flicks on the free hits better than we thought, and just surprised us a little." Butler surprised everybody by taking a 1-4 lead on a beautiful goal by wing Jackie Kelly. Both Kelly and Mary DeLaosa, her replacement at wing, steered the North Jersey team's of fense, setting up with speedy passes and good stickwork.

The win was the first-ever outright North title, although Chatham shared the laurels with Bishop Eustace in last year's Group 1 game. The Woodies scored first in their quest for the title. Sandy Andrews took a terrific pass from Cynthia Groce with a shade under two minutes gone in the game and fired it In. Two minutes later, Chatham's Mary Beth Driscoll tied the score and the North squad went from there. But, nut without a fight.

"We didn't know what to expect," said Andrews. "We weren't expecting Keyport (the state semifinal) to be as easy a game as it was. I guess we thought we had it won before we got on the field. FIESTA BOWL At Tempe, Ariz. UCLA (8-3-0) vs.

We're calm, because it's a tie. We were so psyched, too. We had a couple of really nice chances in the beginning and just couldn't score." Midway through this season, suffering the midst of a slump which saw four ties in five games, the Haddons, who finish at 17-0-4, had a team meeting to air gripes and complaints. The result was a superb finish which saw the two-time Colonial Conference champion run its unbeaten streak to 3G straight games over a two-year period. "We came out of that (meeting) a better team," said the team jester.

Cave. "We were taking being a good team for granted and we were taking games for granted. We thought we had certain games won before we took the field. "Today, we came in here all rowdy on the bus and they were quiet. We were bouncing our sticks off the roof of the bus.

All we wanted todo was get out here and win." During the two five-minute overtimes, both teams played a bit tentatively, not willing to yield a bit. "They're estatic because they have the tie," pointed out Cave. "We're the better team. They know it and we know it. But we're still state champs, and that's all that matters." "When we scored so fast, I guess it threw us off.

I think it might have thrown them off, too. Then, when they came back as quickly and as surely as they did, it threw us off again." With Driscoll controlling the offense, Woodstown Coach Paula Shea put the speedy Andrews on her as a shadow. She was stopped the rest of the afternoon until her penalty flick midway through the second half wrapped up the win at 3-1 "We weren't scared until we started on the field," said Andrews, "then, we had butterflies in our stomachs, at least I did. "We had so many people here, we just wanted to play our best game possible. After all, it's the first time we ever got this far." The Woodie defense, with sweeper Cindi Foster and halfbacks Suzi Wirth, Vanessa Tunstall and Gayle Remster, who sparkled In a fine overall performance, stopped Chatham in the second half.

Kathy Ragold pushed a goal through for the North squad's second goal, but the defense tightened after that. "I still feel proud," said Andrews, who has every right to be. "When we walked off that field, I felt good, despite the loss. They were here before, we weren't. But, we gave it everything we had."
