It was Senior Night and Victoria Dunlap had just sang the national anthem in front of 6,670 fans in her final home game at Memorial Coliseum. Please forgive her if she felt like shedding a tear or two.

Dunlap, however, said she wasn’t crying after signing the national anthem Thursday night. Turns out glossy eyes can be mistaken for a deer-in-the-headlights look.

“I was just really nervous,” Dunlap said of singing the national anthem. “I thought I was going to throw up afterwards.”

Dunlap decided to sing because it was her last night as a player at Memorial Coliseum, but she nearly backed out of it at the last minute.

“Two minutes before I was going to do it, while I was warming up, I thought I was going to pass out because I was hyperventilating,” Dunlap said.

Dunlap received a standing ovation for the rendition and Mitchell gave her an “A-plus” for her efforts.

“I think I did OK,” Dunlap said. “There were a couple of parts I was a little shaky. I was really nervous if nobody could tell. I was shaking.”
