  • Sports The Western Carolinian Page 13 (continued) Thursday, January 26,1989 WCU Tracksters Gear up for Eastman Invitational Baseball (continued) This weekend Western Carolina's men's and women's indoor track & field teams will see their first action since early December when they participate in the Kodak Eastman Invitational at Johnson City, TN. T h e Catamount teams will be included in a field of 50-60 universities from across the nation to compete this weekend. Some of the teams expected to be at the meet include Texas, UCLA, and Clemson, in addition to all eight Southern Conference schools. 'This weekend pres- UTC (contiued) kids can recover, whether I can recover....remains to be seen." Although the Cats shot well during the first half (54 percent) the Mocs shot better (56 percent) and Western hit only 3 of 9 from the free throw line, marking the third game loss due to missed free throws. Bennie Goettie and Keith Gray shared the honor of first half scoring lead with 11 each, but the Mocs were still able to go to the lockers with a one point lead at 32-31. The second half saw little change with Gray leading the way with 18 points and Goettie ending with 17. David Donerlson added 16 points including 4 of 7 from behind ents a good opportunity for us to compete against the best in the nation," commented WCU's head coach Danny Williamson. 'The Eastman is one of the biggest indoor meets in the nation, and we want to see just how we stack up against other schools in the conference as well as in the nation." The Johnson City event will be the second meet of the indoor season for Western Carolina. The Catamount teams competed in the Clemson All- Comers at Clemson, SC, on Dec. 5. In that meet, WCU's men's team broke four school records and placed first in two events, while the women's team saw five school marks fall and also placed first in two events. "We are continuing to work towards that Feb. 17-18 date at the Southern Conference Indoor Championships," said Williamson. "Hopefully we can use this meet as a stepping stone towards that goal." Following the Eastman Invitational, WCU will return to Clemson, SC to participate in the Clemson Invitational on Feb. 3. pus who did well this semester, so as a whole squad we did very well. I'mjustasproudoftheway they have performed academically as I am of their athletic accomplishments." Heading the list of 12 student athletes who hit home runs in the classrooms last semester was Gary Volpe, a senior pitcher form Harding, PA, who scored a perfect 4.0 GPA in his major of Computer Information Systems. The others named to the Dean's List with a 3.0 of better were Dwayne Bradley, a freshman catcher from Hayesville, NC (3.6); Brent Fulbright, a sophomore outfielder from Connelly Springs, NC (3.0); Brinan Hooven, a freshman catcher from Kern- ersville, NC (3.143); Brian Huie, a sophomore pitcher from Clemmons, NC (3.188); Stewart Keyes, a senior pitcher from Asheville, NC (3.2); Jack Kimel, a freshman pitcher from Clemmons, NC (3.647); Mark Poarch, a junior first baseman from Lenior, NC (3.2); Todd Raleigh, a sophomore catcher from Swanton, VT (3.4); Richie Senn, a junior catcher from Clemson, SC (3.067); Jeff Stevens, a senior pitcher from Spartanburg, SC (3.353); and Doug Uzdilla, a junior pitcher from Langhorne, PA (3.063). "I feel there is a correlation between the pride and hard work ethics that the players put into their classes and the efforts they give on the field," said Leggett. "It simply makes them more solid people. They are a lot easier to teach and coach when their priorities are good." The 1988 fall semester marked the second straight fall in which the baseball hall scored the highest GPA of any male residence hall floor at WCU. In next week's Sports section- watch for WCU Baseball preview and schedule. CAROLINIAN SPORTS STAFF Larry Gray, Sports Editor & Layout/Design Laura Goff, Writer Frank Lamm, Writer Richard Sumner, Writer the three point line. Maurice Johnson and Greg O'Connor each added a basket, and Terry Miller had one free throw. Doug Schultz, who hit 100 percent against Clemson could not manage a basket and finished with no points in three attempts. The Moccasins were lead by Donald Jenkins with 12 points, but had even scoring with 11 from Chris Behrends, 11 from Benny Green, 9 from Daren Chandler, and 8 from Vincent Robinson. The Mocs shot 54 percent from the field and 50 percent from the charity stripe. Coach Possinger praised the Western effort on defense in the second half saying, 'This was probably the best defensive second half we have played all year. They [UTC] scored 59 points, and earned every damn one of them." Possinger, who has been on the wrong side of Southern Confer ence officials all season, spoke with head official Jim Rife before the game, but would not comment on the conversation or the officiating of the contest. Overall the situations of both teams were even with Western suffering 18 personal fouls and 15 turnovers. The Mocs were whistled for 16 fouls and committed 15 turnovers as well. "I thought that Donerlson's last shot was going in, and I also thought Miller's tip was going to be good," said Possinger after the buzzer. "We did everything we possibly could and still didn't come up with the win. The team really deserves better than this. On behalf of the team and the coaching staff I would like to extend out thanks to the crowd and Poss's Pit who kept us in the ballgame. The support of the community and the students has been unbelievable, just awesome. I just wish we could give them a win back." VMI (continued) 39 seconds left to play to put the Cats ahead 72-68, and made for a missed free throw late in the UNCA game earlier this year. Lewis finished with seven points and three rebounds. Lewis' free throw was one of four hit during the last 39 seconds to seal the victory. With six minutes re- mainingin the first half the Cats had a commanding 23-12 lead, but a strong spurt by the Key- dets tied the score 26-26 on a pair of free throws by Steven Dorsey with 2:57 before the buzzer. VMI surged ahead after Goettie was called for an offensive foul and Dorsey sank two more from the line. The final four points of the half came from a follow shot by Lewis and a rebound basket by Goettie as Western went to the locker room with a 30-28 lead. WCU coach Dave Possinger seemed content with the officiating of the contest, and the only problem arose from the first six fouls being called against the Cats. After a brief delay of the game caused by Possinger's partial plate flying from his mouth and onto the court, the next seven fouls were whistled in favor of Western. The second half saw the Cats leading from the 12:15 mark and never falling behind. VMI had a chance to pull ahead with a two-on-one fast break with 11:05 remaining, but a block from WCU's Myron Lewis halted the effort. The Keydets began a full court press which lasted the rest of the game, but was not able to stall the Western offense. The game stayed within two points until the Cats pulled ahead 59-50 on a basket and a three-pointer by Keith Gray. Western continued to beat the Keydet press and furthered the lead to 63-52 with 3:40 remain ing in the contest. They Keydets staged a worrysome comeback beginning when Lennon Mings came up with a steal and assisted Ramon Williams in hitting an easy three-point basket cutting the Western lead to 68-61. A long inbounds pass from Goettie to Keith Gray resulted in Gray missing the front end of a one-on-one. A three-point play by Mings, the missing of another front end of a one-on-one by Lewis, and another basket by Mings brought the Keydets within two at 68-66. The game ended on free throws as Lewis sank two foul shots at the 39 second mark. Goettie followed with one-on- one the next possession and two more from the line in the next. VMI's Damon Williams attempted a three-point basket to" tie the game, but the shot missed the mark and sent Western to its first conference win.
