Sports Western Carolinian/February 10, 1983 7 Lady Cats Win Again Pat Sharp is this week's Western Carolinian/FM 90.5 Player Of The Week. (Photo by Mark Haskett) Defeated Western Carolina's Southern Conference basketball championship hopes were dealt a blow last night as the Catamounts fell to Marshall's Thundering Herd by a 93- 88 count. The defeat knocked the Cats out of second place in the conference standings as Marshall moved up from third to second behind league leading UT-Chattanooga. UTC is now 9-1, followed by Marshall at 8-2 and Western Carolina with a 5-2 conference record. Both of the Catamounts' losses in conference play have come at the hands of the Thundering Herd. The Cats got off to a slow start before a crowd of nearly 4,000 in Reid Gymnasium as they missed their first 7 shots and trailed 8-0. The Cats fought back behind the scoring of forward Kenny Trimier to tie the game 40-40 with 1:21 left in the half. However, that was the last successful rally the Catamounts could pull off as Marshall led by 5 at halftime and stretched its leads to as much as 14 in the second half. Western made a late run at the Herd but could get no closer than 4 points in the closing moments. The Catamounts had one of their poorer shooting nights as they hit on only 45% of their shots from the floor to Marshall's 56% and missed a potential 15 points on the free throw line. Western outscored Marshall from the floor by three points, but Marshall canned 30 of 45 free throws to Western's 22 of 33 performance from the line. The Catamounts attempted to bounce back last night when they traveled to Greenville, South Carolina to face Furman's Paladins in an 8:00 P.M. game in the Greenville Auditorium. 6'6" Sophomore Kenny Trimier, who scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in Monday night's game, is WCU's leading scorer right now with a 14.9-points-a - game average. He is followed by Quinton Lytle (12.6) and Pat Sharp (10.6). The Cats are now 11-6 overall. Tennessee-Chattanooga, the defending champion, has once again laid claim to first place in the 1983 Southern Conference basketball race. By virtue of three consecutive league victories, one of which avenged an earlier loss to Marshall University-its closest challenger- earlier loss to Marshall University—its closest challenger—the Moccasins are perched in the top spot with a 9-1 record. _ . . splitting a two-game road swing this past weekend by dropping an 88-71 match at Chattanooga then outrunning Western Carolina. 93-88. Monday n.ght. The Catamounts fell to third, sporting 5-2 loop record, and East Tennessee State, at 6-4, rounds out the first division As the Southern braces for the stretch run of 33 league games that will determine the seeding positions for the league's post-season and NCAA-qual.fy.ng tournament, in Charleston, W. Va. on March 10. 11 and 12, Western Carolina has the longest road to travel, and Marshall may have the easiest. Fashioning a somewhat surprising 11-6 record, the Catamounts are real contenders for the Southerns championship nag. However, they have nine league games remaining, including a home-and-home set left with Chattanooga. The other first div.s.on residents each have six league games to play and most of them come against second division teams. Chattanooga's remaining |eague games are evenly split between home and road, and four of the six are against the second division. Marshall has four of its remaining six contests at home, and five of the six are vs. the lower division. East Tennessee's remaining games are equally split between home and road, and four of the six are against the second division.

Unfortunately for the Lady Mountaineers the Lady Cats were in the middle of playing some of their best basketball of this season. Appalachian fell to WCU 99- 75. The attack cm the Lady Mountaineers was led by Judy Green, scoring a total of 22 points and Emily Holiday contributing 18. Other double figure scorers for the evening were Sands Kruse, who is averaging over 5095 from the floor, with 16 total points and Anna Wike and Serena Sunatt with Contributions of 12 points each. Campbell University traveled to WCU on Saturday, February 5 to take on the lady Cats in the men's preliminary game between the Cats of WCU and VMI. Campbell's scoring attack was led by Sharon Williams,with 18, Penny Dickens' contribution of 17, and Antoinette Matthews with a total of 14. However, the WCU attack led by Green's effort of 21, Surratt's contribution of 12, and Kruse and Ginger Eichhorn's 10 points each, was too much for Campbell. The final outcome was a close 67-64, with the Lady Cat winning streak now at 5 games straight. The Lady Cats shot over 639? from the floor, compared to Campbell's 579? shooting from the floor. On Monday, February 7, the Lady Cats took on Marshall University in a home game. Holiday took charge of WCU's winning effort with a contribution of 15, following close behind were Surratt, and Teresa Bras well each with contributions of 12, and Eichhorn and Kruse each shooting a total of 10 points. The Lady Cats were really excited about the Marshall game and in heated action the Lady Cats were victorious 77-61. This win brought the Lady Cat's winning streak to 6, which is the longest since the eleven- game streak in 1977-78, when Western took 21 of 27 games. According to Coach Judy Stroud, the Lady Cats are "getting a lot of play from the team, we are dependent upon one another. There is not a particular outstanding individual but a positive contribution coming from each member of the team. We arc really pleased with our performance in the NCAA Division I this year." The Marshall Coach commented to Stroud upon her surprise "at finding WCU's Lady Cats as strong as they were." However, the Lady Cats will be facing tough competition in their upcoming games and they are asking for as much support as possible from the students and faculty of WCU. February 12 the Lady Cats travel to Mars Hill then a match-up with Lenoir-Rhyne here in Cullowhee at 7:00 p.m. The Lady Cats of WCU have not beaten Lenoir- Rhyne in 4 years. Then on to Boiling Springs to take on Gardner Webb on February 16. Presently the Lady Cats are on cloud nine and the Western Carolinian wishes Coach Stroud and her Lady Cats much success as they take on more challengers. Ladies Gymnastics Western Carolina's women's gymnastics team lost a dual meet decision at Radford University last Saturday, 162.15 to 148.4. Radford, now 10-1 in dual meets and a nationally ranked NCAA Division II power, used a good a|l-around performance to record the win. Maureen Flynn was the best all-around individual performer with a 32.95 score. Western's Alice Craven gave Western its best score (31.4). The Lady Cats are now 2-7 in dual meets.
