  • Western Carolinian February 3, 1994 Sports Page 15 Lady Cats declawed by Eagles Derek Smolik StaffReporter WCU lost their seventh game in eight tries as they were out-muscled, out-hustled and overmatched in a 76-63 loss to conference-leading Georgia Southern. WCU (4-13, 0-6) had their best shooting day of the season (54%) and out-shot the Eagles (12-6,6-0) overall from the field, from the free throw line and from three-point territory. But GSU's bigger and stronger inside players took over in the second half. The Cats were limited to only six offensive rebounds in the game, while the Eagles pulled down 21 offensive boards, leading to many second chance shots. Despite the loss, Head Coach Gary Peters was pleased with his team's performance. "We had a lot better effort tonight (compared to the UT-C game)," Peters said. "I wish we could give this kind of effort.every game. If we play hard and play smart, we can stay in the game, Remaining Women's Games | 2/5 Appalachian State 3:00 2/9 at Duke 7:00 1 2/12 Davidson 7:00 ; 2/14 at Furman 7:00 2/19 East Tennessee State 4:00 i :■ 2/21 Marshall 7:00 ! 2/26 atUT-Chattanooga 7:00 2/28 at Georgia Southern 5:15 f 3/11-13 SC Tournament TBA I at Greenville, SC '■K ■ The Cats did indeed stay in the game in the first half turnovers.

But an 11-4 run early in the second half by the Eagles stretched the lead out to 12, and the Cats never quite recovered. Saturday's game provided few positives for WCU as they were bombed 89-46 and had their starting point guard injured. The injury occurred with 2:07 left in the game when freshman Beth Hall-Mason was knocked to the floor while defending against UT- Chattanooga's Paquita Cook. Hall- Mason came down hard on her head and later said that she "felt something pop." She lay on the floor for 16 minutes until EMS crews tookher away with her neck and head stabilized. She was later diagnosed as having only a neck sprain and is projected to miss only one game. UT-C knocked the Cats down for the count early in the second half. The Mocs turned up both the offense and defense, going on a 34-6 run during the first ten minutes of the half. That turned a 30- 21 half-time lead into a 64-27 rout. WCU shot only 25.9% in the game, their worst percentage of the year in a game.

King was also named as SC player-of-the-week earlier this season when he scored 56 points and pulled down ten rebounds in two games. He is one of only two players to be picked twice this season as player-of-the- week. The other is the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's Chad Copeland. head coach of the Tigers. Though most of the players he coached have now gone on, many present players were recruited or met the winningest coach in WCU history (302 wins in nine years). "It's definitely in our minds," said Strieker. "We want to have good outings in front of him." "We're not playing Jack Leggett; we're playing Clemson," LeClair emphasized. "I think it's a nice opportunity to coach against someone you played for."

"A lot of P,e will underestimate me because of my size; but it takes just one hit and they know. I just have.to sharpen my elbows for those times/' Unfortunately for Rowe, Brown won the war as Furman beat the Cats, an ail-too familiar scenario for the senior from Decatur, GA. Western may have hired on a new coach this year, but at this point, the results are painfully familiar. Graduation over the last two years decimated the team, and Rowe has found, at times the offensive and defensive loads on her shoulders. "Sometimes I feel like that but not at others," Rowe said "1 feel like the other girls are starting to step up now, so I'm not stressed about T have to score this many points'or something before a game." Fortunately for Rowesome of the other players have started to take some of the pressure off her as most teams will double or even triple team her. "When Alicia (Brittain) has the Opportunity, she's scoring with it," Rowe said. "They are double-teaming me, so Hike to consider myself a smart enough person to pass it out when she doesn't have anyone on her." Because of her fearless nature and her natural athletic abi lity Rowe is able to excel at rebounding. She says that she feels her quickness and agility help her, but she feels that she can usually tell where the ball is going on a rebound, so she's in the right place. But even someone who is almost fearless has some "My big worry is getting undercut when I go up for a shot or a rebound," RoWe said. "I'll frustrate people sometimes, so it'll worry me any time I go up." One thing that is unusual about Rowe's talent in basketball is the fact that she didn't start playing until mid-way through high school. A P.E. teacher was able to convince her to try out for the team, but Rowe had her own motive for staying on the team. "I was unsure about it (going out for the team)," Rowe stated. "(But) I thought about it and new that I could get out of chores at home if I played on the team. Rowe wasn't known for her basketball skills (in general) with college recruiters, though. It was her talent in track and field that attracted most schools to her. Rowe was a two-time statechampion asa discus throwes and was the fastest 400-yard runner in the state. She was approached by Florida State, Clemson and Middle Tennessee among others but turned them down in favor of Western. Why?Simple. Western was the only school she talked to that was wilting to let her play both basketball and track. At the time she said that she couldn't decide which sport she liked better. She still doesn't know. "I Still don't know," Rowe Said laughing. "1 love them both, lhave my teamand my individual competitions." Rowe still runs on Western's track and field team and has a goal in mind for track, if she stays with it. "I'd like to beon the 1996 Track and Field teamin the qua rter," Rowe sa id. "Then I cou Id get free tickets for my family."
