With the victory, the Lady Cats improve to 9-11 on the year, while the Bucs fall to 2-20. The Catamounts took the advantage by winning the first game 15-3, and utterly dominated the stunned Bucs. However, the Buccaneers regained their composure to take Western to the wire in game two before the Cats blocked their way to a win. WCU Head Coach Michele Hansen was pleased with the team performance and happy with the win. "I think we played great in game one. We let up a little in game two," commented Hansen. She also added, "We stopped making things happen and gave them some momentum." Against the Bucs, Western Carolina was led by a familiar face, Maggie Valley native Shannon Sweeney, who was one of the dominating players for Hansen's squad early in the year. Sweeney felt her performance had tapered off. She ended that skid, leading the team with 18 kills. "[Sweeney] hit her jump serve hard tonight. She wasn't being so careful and she let her arms fly in the front row. Hopefully, she is back for good," said Michele Hansen. In the first match, junior Elizabeth Smith led the Catamount servers with 8 service points, including an ace. Western Coach Michelle Hansen talks to Lady Cats. Photo by T.K. Roberts. jumped out to a 8-0 lead before CSU could recover. The Cats' play in the game was outstanding. Greensboro native Ramsey Herron scored 8 service points, including the winning point, to stop the Bucs' challenge in game two where Charleston Southern threatened to jump right back into the match. Herron also finished second in kills, with 11 and 13 digs. Sweeney scored many of her timely kills in that close, hard-fought second set. The final game saw the Catamounts, behind the combined serves of Sweeney, Smith, and sophomore Jessi Fick, catapult to a 7-0 working margin. Charleston Southern offered some stout play, but fell to the Cats 15-5. Junior Keeya McManus was voted by the fans as the favorite Lady Cats Volleyball player. In this match, McManus had several acrobatic swats to give her 10 kills. Also, Fick, of New Bern, N.C, played extremely well. This sophomore setter is like a on-court leader. She had 49 sets and 9 digs against the Bucs of Charleston Southern. Hansen was pleased to get the win on Homecoming Weekend. Yet, she still sees areas for improvement. "We're still waiting to get all six players fully functioning at their best," commented Hansen. Cross Country Runs Well at States by Daniel Hooker In their final tune-up meet before the Southern Conference Championships, the Western Carolina Catamount Cross Country teams placed third and tenth against some of the better teams in the state on a rainy Saturday in Charlotte. Head Coach Danny Williamson commented that the cross country course in Charlotte was good. However, the amount of rain that they had in the state's mid-section left the course muddy and torn up. On the men's side, the field was dominated by North Carolina State University. They placed the top seven runners, all of whom had times of 25 minutes or faster, or better. With the top seven being from State, the Wolfpack literally paced the field in a pack. They won the meet with a perfect score of 15 points. Senior Bill Baldwin led the Catamount charge, finishing 12th with a time of 25:20, closely followed by teammate Brian Clark with a time of 25:22. Danny Williamson stated that Baldwin and Clark had good runs. They worked to the front together through the 123-man field. Williamson also commented that most of Western's men had their best runs of the year. Western finished third out of 14 teams. "It was a pretty good meet with a pretty good showing. The only two teams that beat us were nationally ranked; N.C. State (7) and UNC (14)," stated Williamson. Senior Collin Webster and juniors Matt Lee and Robert Stephens finished 20th, 30th, and 43rd, respectively, to wrap out the men's scoring. The women's team, led by sophomore Jenny Warfford, performed well, finishing 10th out of 12 teams. Warfford's time of 18:40 placed her 29th out of 120 runners. 'The final outcome doesn't look really good, but I am pleased with their performance," remarked Williamson. 'They are still a really young team that is steadily improving." NCSU won the women's meet, and was followed by the Wake Forest team that bettered the WCU women in Greensboro. Southern Conference competitors, Davidson and UNC-Greensboro, finished 9th and 12th respectively. Williamson also commented that eight of their runners had their personal season-best runs. Joining Warfford in the scoring for the Catamounts were freshmen Jessica Kirkland (38) and Jessa Brown (53), followed by junior EricaTheimann (56) and sophomore Charlotte Robson (57). The teams will have this weekend off to prepare for the Southern Conference Championships in Statesboro, Ga., on Nov. 1. Catamounts Struggle Against Tough Fields Sports Information Western Carolina's women's golf team, playing against perhaps the toughest field it has faced since the program's inception five years ago, placed 21st in the Lady Paladin Invitational, held this past Friday through Sunday at the Furman University Golf Course in Greenville, S.C. Included in the field were six teams that were ranked among the top 15 in the nation. Furman, ranked seventh coming into the event, won the title with scores of 301- 300-293—894. Other nationally ranked teams present included #6 Georgia, #8 Wake Forest, #11 Texas Christian, #14 North Carolina, and #15 Tennessee. It was only the sixth 54-hole tournament that Western's women have played in during the program's short history, and only the second outside of Southern Conference Championship play. Jessica Blake, a sophomore, led the Lady Catamounts with scores of 85-86-83— 254 to finish 87th in the field of 111 golfers. Junior Carrie Shaffer was WCU's next highest finisher, in 99th place, at 90-85-89—264, and sophomore Sarah Parris was close behind at 85-94-86—265. "Golf" continued on 10
