  • h Thursday, September 26 19 96 Sports SII70 Mest^rn (Karnlmtan Catamounts Lose First, The Citadel Wins 28-14 BRYAN SHARPE SPORTS EDITOR It was a classic case of "too little, too late" as Western Carolina University suffered its first defeat of the season at the hands of The Citadel Bulldogs this past Saturday, 28-14. "The Citadel played a very physical game and we didn't respond until we were in a deep hole," said WCU Head Football Coach Steve Hodgin. "They deserve a lot of credit for the way they attacked us on both sides of the ball." The Citadel wasted no time putting points on the scoreboard as their quarterback, Stanley Myers, sprinted 80 yards for a Bulldogs touchdown, giving them a 7-0 lead—a lead they did not relinquish. After the Catamounts' offense went three plays and out on their next possession, The Citadel executed a nine-play drive that resulted in a Bulldog touchdown. This put the Catamounts in a 14-0 hole, with half of the first quarter yet to be played. Western did move the ball on The Citadel during the first half, particularly during the second quarter as the Cats had the ball twice inside the Bulldogs 35 yard-line. The Cats came away empty on both of those* possessions due to a crucial sack for an 11-yard loss on third down and an own fumble recovery by WCU quarterback," Josh Brooks, that resulted in a five-yard loss on third down as well. Both plays took the Cats out of field goal range. The Cats went.into half- time down 14-0 to their Southern Conference foe. Western opened the second half on offense but once again failed to put any first downs together as they went three plays and out once again. In need of a big play, the Catamounts' defense turned up the pressure, causing a Bulldog runner to cough up the football, which allowed WCU's free safety, Leonard Hawkins, to recover the ball, giving the Cats great field position on the Citadel 40 yard-line. The Cats' offensive woes continued as they could not advance the ball further than the Bulldogs' 34 yard-line. A key holding call against Western prevented them from putting points on the board forcing another WCU punt. After another critical defensive stand by the Cats, the offense finally showed signs of life. The Cats' offense mounted a drive late in the third quarter which carried over to the fourth quarter, resulting in a Tracy Biggs 17-yard touchdown run on the initial play of the final quarter. Ken Hinsley added the extra point, cutting The Citadel's lead in half, 14-7. The Citadel responded to the Cats' score by taking the ball 80 yards for another touchdown. The Bulldogs used a variety of running plays, sticking with their typical game plan of smash-mouth football before changing the play call-up a little bit with a four-yard touchdown toss. This increased The Citadel's lead to 21-7. Western displayed a never- say-die attitude by answering The Citadel's touchdown with a 14-play, 76-yard drive that resulted in WCU's tailback, Terrence Stokes, taking the ball in for a five-yard touchdown run. Hinsley added the extra point, pulling the Cats within seven points, 21-14. Western's defense held The Citadel to three plays and out, forcing the Bulldogs to punt. This gave the Catamounts the ball on The Citadel 48 yard-line with only 2:48 left in the game. Then controversy filled the air as Brooks dropped back to pass to WCU's wide receiver, Jerome Lardy. A Bulldog player made contact with Lardy, taking the intended receiver out of the play, which freed the way for an easy 58-yard interception return for a touchdown. The pass interference no call sealed the fate for the Catamounts as they suffered their first loss of the season, 28- 14. This was the first time WCU had lost an opening Southern Conference game in the last 10 seasons. "The play that iced the game for them-the pass interception returned for a touchdown- was on the game tapes exactly as how I saw it along with 10,000 others," said Hodgin on the no call. "Unfortunately, the six people who needed to see it didn't." The loss dropped the Cats to 2-1 overall and 0-1 in the Southern Conference. Western's next game will be at home, Saturday evening at 6 p.m. This will be the final event scheduled during WCU's annual Mountain Heritage Day.

ROBERTS/WC Catamount Annie Gardner races to a 13th place finish. BRIAN CLARK STAFF WRITER Every week when I sit down to write the cross-country article for the Carolinian, I try to do it from a journalistic perspective. This is a difficult task because I also run crosscountry for the Catamounts. This particular week it is especially hard for me to keep personal feelings out. This past weekend we, the cross-country team, hosted the Catamount Classic. It was a relatively small meet, as only four schools competed. To put it frankly, we were expected to winf but we lost. That's hard enough to handle, but to make it worse, it was Appalachian State University that beat us. When I first came to Western, it did not take long for me to learn the "rules of the game." They were: practice hard, race hard, study hard, put your heart into it, and never let Appalachian State beat you. Well, they beat us that year—three times, en route to winning the Southern Conference and qualifying for nationals. So my sophomore year rolled around. Once again, one of the goals was to beat App. Once again they whipped us, I thought we could win the meet, but we came up a little short. However, it was something we can build on. twice. Now it's my junior year. We've got the best team since I've been here. We are higher in the preseason polls than App-so I naturally thought I was going to finally to get the satisfaction of beating them. Well, I didn't. They defeated us 36-33. The Catamount cross country teams continued to march on towards the Southern Conference Championship meet by hosting the Catamount Classic and three other Southern Conference schools this past weekend in Cullowhee. The Catamount men fell three points short' of arch rival Appalachian State (33 to 36), but finished ahead of Davidson (77), and The Citadel (97). The Lady Cats only managed one runner in the top five, as App State won with 18 position points to WCU's 44 and Davidson's 79. The men's race was a hotly contested one. At about two miles, a pack of Catamount runners surged into the lead, alienating three ASU runners. Several wild elbows, pushes, and harsh words resulted. Once things got settled back down, the race resumed. ASU's Will Dickerson ended up winning in a time of 26:12, with The Citadel's Jaimie CaWood coming in three seconds behind him. Catamount Turner Norris placed third, five seconds off the winning time. Teammate Brian Clark was fourth in 26:26. Bill Baldwin (8th), Matt Lee (both), and Jeremiah Buechner (11th) rounded out the Catamount scoring contingency. "It was somewhat of a disappointing day for our men," said Head Cross Country Coach Danny Williamson. "I thought -j we could win the meet, but we came up a little short. However, it was something we can build on. I think we might have been a little tired running three weeks in a row," he added. This was both the men's and women's third weekend in a row to race. On the women's side senior Kristen Savery led WCU's efforts. The Florida native placed fourth, with a finishing time of 19:27 on the tough 5000 meter course (3.1 miles). Freshman Jenny Warford placed sixth and Emily Redmon was ninth to complete, the Cats top 10 finishers. Annie Gardner was 13th, and Charlotte Robson -Danny Williamson placed 14th to complete the Cats' scoring contingency "Our women showed a great deal of improvement and continued to close the gap," Williamson stated. "I am encouraged by the way we came back with a strong run after a poor performance at Clemson the previous Saturday," he added.
