westerns* • arolmian Western Wins Cat Fight with Lions by Daniel Hooker The Western Carolina Catamounts overcame a sluggish start to defeat the Bryan College Lions 84-60 Tuesday night in the Ramsey Center. Western improved to 4-3 on the year, while Bryan College fell to 6-3. "We were a little sluggish to start with," commented head coach Phil Hopkins. "We were able to play a lot of people a lot of minutes. There were some good spots, and some bad spots." Dondrell Whitmore turned in a career- high performance in both scoring and rebounds to lead the Cats'. His 16 points and 14 rebounds was game high. His performances over the past two games has improved. Whitmore stated that he was disappointed in the way he played, "at the house" in his hometown of Fayetteville. He stated, "I had to pick my head up and start working the way I usually play on the court. I am feeling better about myself." "Dondrell really rebounded well, especially in the first half. He's gotten a little stronger. He's got more confidence in himself and he's really doing a good job for us," noted Hopkins Junior-college transfer Leon Davis and senior Bobby Phillips both added 11 points in the winning effort. Davis also had 11 rebounds. Brett Carey had six of the Catamounts 22 assists. "Leon is an important factor to us," said Hopkins. "He is starting to play a little bit better. We are going to need Leon Davis a lot this year." The Catamounts used tenacious defense and good transition play to put the Lions away early in the second half. The fast pace of the game was countered by head coach Phil Hopkins platoon substitutions. Western's lead was as much as 30 down the stretch, but Bryan College never gave up. Senior Stefan Jiles led the Lions with 16 points and seven rebounds. Perhaps the loudest cheers of the night came first when walk-on freshman from Roanoke, Va., Chad Wall made it into the game. Coming in, he was 0-3 from the field, 1-2 from the foul line, with only one point. Yet, he hit a three-pointer from the right corner to be his first collegiate points, and sending all smiles down the Cats' bench. Coach Hopkins said that Wall got the playing minutes because he "busted his tail" in practice preparing his teammates, which resulted him receiving a broken nose. "He tries so hard and does everything we ask him in practice," noted Hopkins. Up next for Coach Hopkins' team will be the Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minneapolis, Minn., on Friday night. The next home game will be Sunday, December 8 when the Mercer Bears come to Cullowhee for a 3 PM contest. For the game, anybody that brings a new toy will be admitted free. Walk-on freshman Chad Wall makes his first three-pointer at home. Photo by T.K. Roberts. Volleyball Makes Championship Run Sports Information Western Carolina made an exciting run at the 1997 Southern Conference Volleyball Tournament but, in the end, was unable to do what no other conference team has been able to do all season—defeat Chattanooga. The Catamounts lost to the Mocs, 15- 6. 15-6, 15-1, in the championship match of the conference tournament Sunday, November 23, after putting together back-to-back wins over Davidson in the first round and East Tennessee State in the semifinals. The Catamounts finished their season with a 15-20 record, marking the program's most wins in a season since 1992. WCU's first round win over Davidson was its first league tourney win since 1992. The Catamounts' appearance in the championship game was its first since WCU's last tournament championship in 1986. Chattanooga, which went through the conference regular season undefeated (16-0), finished with a overall record of 26-9 and received the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The Mocs were led by Southern Con- MvpCe P'ayer of ^ Year and tournament ^VP Rachel Evans, who had 11 kills and n blocks in the championship win over .... Catamounts were led by junior dle blot*er Holly Poff with nine kills and 10 digs. Junior middle blocker Keeya McManus was also a strong player for WCU with seven kills and four blocks. Western, which entered the tournament as the No. 6 seed, opened on Friday with an upset of No. 4 seeded Davidson in five games, 8-15,6-15,15-12, 15-8, 15-6. After losing the first two games, WCU came back from a seven-point deficit in the third game to start the Catamount comeback. The Catamounts were led by sophomore outside hitter Ramsey Herron with 20 kills and 15 digs. Sophomore outside hitter Shannon Sweeney had 16 kills and 15 digs while McManus added 13 kills and 22 digs. In Saturday's semifinals, the Catamounts defeated East Tennessee State, the tournament's No. 7 seed which had upset No. 2 seed Furman in the first round. WCU fell to ETSU 15-8 in the first game but bounced back to win the next three, 15-8,15-12,15-12. Sweeney led the Cats with 23 kills and 19 digs. Also posting double- doubles for WCU were Herron (15 kills, 13 digs) and Poff (10 kills, 20 digs). Sweeney and Herron were both named to the Southern Conference All-Tournament Team, marking the first time since 1992 that a WCU player has been honored with that designation and the first time since 1988 that more than one Catamount has been named to the tournament's elite six. The championship match between WCU and UTC was taped by Fox Sports South network and is scheduled to be televised on a tape-delayed basis on Christmas Eve, Wednesday, December 24, at midnight. Please check your local listings for any changes in Fox Sports South's broadcast schedule. Starting in January, the volleyball team will begin workouts, three players at a time, in preparation for spring practice and the 1998 season. Lady Cats Lose Heartbreaker by Donald Costello With her first win under the belt, Head Coach Maria Fantanarosa was trying for her first winning streak at the helm ofthe women's basketball team Monday night at USC Spartanburg. That bid fell short as the Rifles outshot the Catamounts 44 percent to 36 percent en route to a 66-64 victory. The loss moved the Catamounts' record to 1-3 with all three losses coming on the road. The road has not been good to the Cats, as they have only won one road contest since November 1996. Fantanarosa said the loss to USC Spartanburg was the most consistent effort put forth by the team this season. "The team unity is starting to click on both sides of the ball," she stated. Western had the opportunity to win the game as they pulled within one point, 65-64, with 48 seconds remaining. The next two possessions saw the Cats miss a shot and turn the ball over before Spartanburg connected on a free throw with only five seconds remaining. Junior forward Beth Currence led the Catamounts as she posted 17 points in the losing effort along with seven rebounds, two short of a career high. "Beth has been playing consistent on both sides ofthe ball," said Fantanarosa. She added that Currence has risen to the occasion to take on many tough defensive assignments. Senior Karen Mason contributed seven points in 31 minutes of play as she leads the Catamounts with 10.3 points per contest. Mason is one of the players that Fantanarosa is looking toward to step up and lead the team. "We don't have a consistent scorer yet," Fantanarosa said. Western faced off against Winthrop University in Rock Hill, S.C, Wednesday night. Next Saturday, they will travel to Chapel Hill to take on the nationally ranked Tar Heels before playing in the Lady Blazer Classic hosted by UAB in Birmingham, Ala.
