  • {Western Carolinian January 27, 1994 Sports Page 9 Eagles, refs can't stop Cats from winning Derek Smolik StaffReporter Western Carolina got back on the winning track with a wild, high-scoring, foul-filled and free-throw shooting victory over the Georgia Southern Eagles Monday night in Cullowhee. WCU never trailed in the second half but nearly let a lead that strectched to as much as nine points, slip away. The officials were the verbal targets of both coaches in the game, as a total of 49 fouls were called. Free throw shooting, normally a problem for the Cats, suddenly became an important part of the offense. "It was whistle, whistle, whistle ev ery time down the floor," Head Coach Benny Dees said. "We can't win a free throw shooting contest. I'm taking applications for a free throw coach." Western (6-9,3-4) was able to hit on 24 of 34 foul shots in the game but missed four in a row late in the second half, helping the Eagles to pull to within two points with under five minutes left. The Cats then scored six straight points to go back up by six. GSU would not quit, though. Dante Gay (17 points) made three of four free throws in the last two minutes and combined with a three-pointer by Brian Wallace to help the Eagles pull within four. Then, his driving lay-up, with 1:25 left, cut the margin to two. Western's fans, sensing that the lead was slipping away, began a chant of "defense, defense," and that was just what they got. The Eagles did not score on their next possession down the floor, and B.J. Thompson went to the free throw line to try to extend the Cats' lead. He hit one of two to put the Cats up 85-82 with :16. Frankie King then made the defensive play of the game by knocking the ball out of bounds off a Georgia Southern player to give the Cats possesion. Anquell McCollum hit one of two free throws to "Cats Top Eagles" see pg. 9 Cats can't hold lead, lose by two Western drops fourth straight Derek Smolik StaffReporter WCU's women's basketball team lost its fifth straight game, including four straight in conference play, 84-70 to Marshall Monday night. Marshall jumped out to a 12-point half-time lead and never let the Cats get close enough to make a run at the lead. Alicia Brittain continued her offensive surge, leading the Cats in scoring with 20 points. She has scored in double figures in the last three games after accomplishing that once previously. Angela Rowe led the Cats with nine rebounds. As a team though, the Cats were not able to rebound as Marshall pulled down 47 boards to the Cats' 34. The game did mark an improvement over the Cats' last two games, both of which they suffered blowout losses. Last Wednesday the Cats took on ASU and lost 92-56 to the Mountaineers. Pam Owens Derek Smolik StaffReporter Once again, the Cats couldn't hold onto a big second half lead. This time it was the Citadel roaring back from a ten- point deficit to win 71-67. The Cats trailed by two at the half, but Frankie King and Tim Ford led Western back. King, who led the team with 27 points, scored eight, and Ford put in seven to lead the Cats on a 17-5 run, putting Western up 49-39 with just under 13 minutes left in the game. Citadel cut the lead back to seven, but Anquell McCollum's wide-open three-pointbasket and B.J.Thompson's three-point play put WCU back up by 11. Over the next 7:52 the Cats would only make two shots. A15-2 run put the Bulldogs in command, but Western wasn't quite dead yet. King hit a bank shot with 1:15 to go, tying the score at 67-67. The Bulldogs came down and missed their shot, and •Thompson rebounded for the Cats with :50left Western missed their shot as well, though, and Reggie Jones of the Bull "Can't Hold Lead" see pg3 led the Cats with 16 points in the game. Saturday night Western took on the Buccaneers of ETSU and were dominated on the boards (51-29) in an 86-66 loss. WCU's (3-11, 0-4) next game is tonight at the Davidson Wildcats at 7pm. Saturday the Cats return home to host the UT-C Moccasins at 3pm. The Cats will have little time to rest as they take to the court Sunday at 4:30pm to meet Georgia Southern. Tuesday the Cats will go on the road to take on Georgia State, at 7pm. , ■■:<■■■■ JAN. 28 ••:•;•.:■. 9:00PM '•'• AIL DAY CAVING TRIP JAN. 29 FRIDAY NJGHT SKIING: CATALQOCHEE .....JAN. 28-:;>> „.
