lniBii Dunn Takes Lady Cats Basketball Helm by Don Costello Managing Editor Western Carolina women's basketball will be under the tutelege of its third head coach in the last three seasons when practice starts in October. Jill Dunn, an assitant coach last season, was named head coach in May after Maria Fantanarosa departed for her alma mater, University of Miami (OH), after only one season as head coach of the Lady Cats. "I'm very excited and thrilled over the opportunity and challenge that awaits this season," said Dunn, who is in her first head coaching position. Last season, Dunn served as an assistant coach, working with the Cats' perimeter game and coordinating recruiting. Prior to WCU, she was an assistant coach at the University of South Carolina and handled opponents scouting and planning team practice. Dunn does not predict any drastic changes in the women's basketball program. "I worked with [Fantanarosa] for four years so we are similar coaches," she said. Dunn added that she will change some of the philosophies such as running a more up-tempo offensewnd a pressure defense. One philosophy that will not change will be the development of the Lady Cats program from "playing not to lose" to "playing to win." Dunn stressed that the confidence level was a problem early last season and began to come around as the season progressed. In order to continue to build on that confidence, the recruiting goal became one that aimed at players who had played for winning programs in high school. The five incoming players on Dunn's team all fit that prerequisite. "The eagerness, enthusiasm and experience of the incoming players should carry over into the program," she remarked. Dunn's first duty as head coach was to fill the assistant coaching vacancies. Vickie Henson, the other assistant coach on last year's squad, departed with Fantanarosa to Miami (OH). Dunn has filled the two coaching positions with a duo of experi enced assistants. Trevor Lampman was hired to work with the Lady Catamount guards. Lampman was an assistant at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC, for the past three seasons. "Trevor is a good people person who has a good knowledge of the game and is a great communicator to his players," said Dunn. Ann Gardner, also from Winthrop, brings six years of coaching experience and a playing career at South .Carolina to the Lady Cat program. Gardner will work with the post players and recruiting. Dunn said the addition of the two assistants along with the returning players and incoming freshmen will help to close the gap with the upper echelon of the Southern Conference. Individual workouts will begin August 31 when players will undergo eight hours a week of strength and conditioning training and two hours a week of individuals skills workout. Dunn is eargerly anticipating the beginning of regular team practice on October 15 and the, season opener November 14 versus Navy.

ACTIVITY STICKERS You still have plenty of time to get your 1998-99 activity sticker before the first home football game on September 26th. Valid activity stickers are required of all WCU students who wish to attend football, men's and women's basketball, and baseball games in the coming year. Activity stickers can be obtained at the following dates and times: Tuesday, August 18 - Ramsey Center Concourse - 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 19 - Ramsey Center Concourse - 9:00 a.m - :00 p.m. Thursday, August 20th - Ramsey Center Concourse - 9:00 a.m - :00 p.m. Thereafter - Ramsey Center ticket offfce, Monday-Friday, 9:00 a.m- 5:00 p.m. To speed up the process it is helpful to bring your paid receipt as proof of your enrollment this semester. Students who do not have the proper sticker on their ID's will not be admitted to the games. This policy is in effect to keep former stu dents who possess ID cards, but have not paid a student activity fee, from attending games for free. Students are an important part of athletic events so everyone is encouraged to get their stickers before the Catamounts take on East Tennessee State on September 26. For further information, please contact Greg Duff in the Athletics offices at 7161. BASEBALL TRYOUTS The Western Carolina baseball team will hold tryouts for walk-ons Monday, August 24, at the baseball field. For more information contact the athletic department at 227-7338. Volleyball Preparation Underway Head Coach Michelle Hansen is preparing for her second year at the helm for the Volleyball Cats. - Pnoto by T.K. Roberts By Daniel Hooker Sports Editor There have been many cliches written concerning practicing. For instance, "practice makes perfect" and "you will play like you practice." For the Western Carolina University women's volleyball team, grueling preseason practice has been a reality for the past week and a half. According to second year head coach Michelle Hansen, things are looking pretty good early. "Work ethic is high right now, and our new players are looking good," commented Hansen. "The winning attitude is strong confidence is high, and we are pretty healthy." This past week of practice has included about three sessions a day. Six hours in the gym working on mechanics, one hour in the weight room, and strategical meetings in the evening for a few hours have kept the athletes busy in preparation. Last year's team, after starting out 0-5 rallied through the season to finish 15-20. However, in the Southern Conference Championship in Statesboro, GA, the Cats stormed into the final round of the tourney and came home with a second place Finish. As if a good team wasn't enough incentive to come to the volleyball matches, the athletic department has teamed up with local businesses to offer prizes at every home match. A "serve-a-thon" between the second and third match and t- shirts thrown into the crowd when a Catamount serves an ace are just a few examples of prizes that will be offered. See next week's issue of the Western Carolinian for a preseason outlook for the 1998 Western Carolina University volleyball team.
