The Western Carolinian Page 8 Thursday, September 17, 1992 Sports Volume 58 Number 6 Lady Cats top Bucs for fourth straight win Grant Hunsucker Sports Writer The Western Carolina University Women's Volleyball Team defeated East Tennessee State University Tuesday night in breath taking manor winning 11-15,15-5, 15- 10,14-16, and 15-11 in a non-conference game. The final game of the match was very fast paced, because rally scoring was used. In rally scoring, there is a point awarded on every serve regardless of which team serves. ETSU came out strong in the final game, at one point scoring five points in a row to take an 8-3 lead. The lady Cats scored five out of the last six points to make the score 9- 8. The Cats retook the lead with two points on Katherine Thomas' serve. The next two serves went back and forth, making the score 11- 10. AnnMarie Alvarez added a point, and Kristen Baxter added the final two to win the match 15-11. "We got scores when we needed them in crucial times. We did not fall apart like we did last year, I think it has a lot to do with experience," Baxter commented. "It was an awesome match, WCU was at the bottom of the Southern Conference last year, while ETSU was 10-0, we've come a long way," Coach Trish Howell said after the game. Howell had more than one reason to be happy with the outcome, as the win marked her 200th colle giate victory. She was presented with a plaque by her players after the game. The Cats started out game fourleadingtwogamestoone. Baxter opened up with six straight points to give the Cats a quick lead 6-0. The Cats extended their lead to 9-2, until ETSU began their comeback. ETSU outscored the Cats 8-2 to close the gap to 11-10, though they never scored more than two points on any one serve. Western scored two straight points on Thomas' serve to extend the lead to 13-10. The teams traded points to make the score 14-12, putting ETSU on the brink of defeat. ETSU capped its comeback with four straight points, as Angell Kirkpatrick's attempted kill sailed out of bounds. The final score of the game was 16-14 and knoted the match at two games a piece. Game one was a see-saw batde, with each team exchanging points.

Western hung tough diough as Galloway drove the Cats 41 yards in seven plays to retake the lead. The big play of the drive was a 53 yard bomb from Galloway to Aiken to the Georgia Tech 10- yard line. But two plays later Galloway threw away another pitchout which lost 15 yards and the Cats had to settle for another field goal to make the score 9-7. Tech answered with a field goal to take the lead again at 10-9, and it looked like the half would end that way. Western came right back though, moving 80 yards in 8 plays for it's first touchdown of the half. With time running out and a third and 15 from their own 39, Galloway hit Aiken with a 22 yard pass to the Tech 39. The very next play Galloway threw up a bomb to Hayes in the end zone, which he barely oudcaped the defender for the touchdown and a 16-10 lead for the Cats at the half. The stars for the Cats on offense included Galloway, who finished with 283 yards passing, Aiken who had 133 yards receiving, and Thigpen, who had 87 yards on the ground for the Cats.
