  • inian Lady Cats Lose at Ga. State, Beat Navy at Home by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor The Western Carolina University Lady Catamounts opened up their home schedule of their 1998-99 season with a win, but stumbled on the road last night at Georgia State. Behind junior forward Willow Russell's 15 points and seven rebounds, the Lady Cats fell to the Lady Panthers, 82-60 in Atlanta, Ga. With the loss, Western falls to 1-1 on this young season. In front of intense GSU defense, WCU could only manage 34.8 percent shooting from the floor. Western trailed by 17 at the half before falling by the final margin of 22. The Lady Cats defeated the United States Naval Academy Lady Mids, 59-56, last Friday night in front of nearly 200 in the Ramsey Center to win their home opener. For the Lady Catamounts, it was their first regular season win, as well as the first for new head coach, Jill Dunn. "I was very excited [about this first win]," commented Dunn. "I thought the girls came out and played really hard." For the second straight game, Western fQe&a & j? ] tit 8 >m !!■■■■ i was led by Willow Russell, who had a double-double performance of 17 points and 11 rebounds. Sophomore April Fleck, who was last year's Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, was the only other Catamount in double figure scoring. A good sign for Dunn's Cats was the shooting percentage at the foul line. WCU made 15 of their 21 attempts, 71 percent. From the outset of the game, the Lady Cats came out and ran a intense pressure defense that forced numerous Navy turnovers and also put the Lady Mids key player, Erica Hayes, in foul trouble early. On the night, WCU forced 24 Navy turnovers. Dunn explained, "Our defensive intensity kept us in the game. We just took it right at them all night." The Western freshmen played a vital role in the win. Jackie Stepp hit a couple crucial baskets, and Tameka Parks came in and played in place of Willow Russell and Laura Echols, who both fouled out. For Parks, it was a position that until then she wasn't accustomed to playing. Western will kick off a four-game homestand, their longest of the year, this Friday night as the Mercer Bears come to Cullowhee and the Ramsey Center. WCU FITNESS CENTER HOURS TUESDAY, NOV.24: 6am-8am <S 12n-6pm NOV.25- NOV.29: aOSED No. 5 Terrapins too Much for Young Cats Squad by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor The assignment was tough for the Catamounts - travel north to College Park, Maryland, and take on the number five team in the nation, the University of Maryland, on their home court, trying to end the Terrapins' 58 game non-conference home winnning streak. Needless to say, the only part of that scenario to come true was the trip northward. Maryland (1 -0) handily defeated the Catamounts (0-1) 113-46 in Cole Field House last Saturday. Hopkins said, "We knew we were going to be outmatched, but I had no idea how outmatched athletically we were. This [Maryland] team was as good a team that I've ever coached against." The 67-point win for Maryland was their largest ever in school history, eclipsing the previous record by one. The win resulted in extending the Terps' non-conference home victories to 59, which is the second largest in the nation. Western was led by senior Dondrell Whitmore and junior-college transfer, Michael Green, both with 10 points in the losing effort. Todd Seibert led the Cats on the boards, posting nine rebounds. # 9 Six Terrapins finished in double figures scoring, Obinna Ekezie leading the way with 19. Terrell Stokes only had two points, but he handed out a school record 15 assists. Western struggled shooting the ball all night, posting only a 25 percent field goal percentage. From behind the arc, the Cats were a miserable 5-31, an anemic 16 percent. Maryland shot a sizzling 67 percent from the floor, 35 percent from downtown. "I thought our kids played hard and gave a great effort," said Hopkins. "But it gave our guys something to build on." On a team that returns only one starter, the freshmen and transfers saw a lot of playing time. Freshman guard Casey Rogers recorded 31 minutes of playing time. "We played three freshmen a lot, and that's not meant as an excuse," explained Hopkins. "It was a pretty awakening situation for our freshmen." The road ahead for the youthful Catamounts won't get any easier, as the Cats travel to Clemson to tangle with the Tigers this Thursday. Western Carolina will open its home season against Anderson College this Saturday evening, following the WCU- ASU football game. &J£AfcJ&J£JltJatJiLajfc.fii.&v»£ it INTERESTED IN EARNING SOME CHRISTMAS $$ I WE HAVE A JOB FOR YOU DURING I THE THANKSGIVING HOLIDAYS AT THE HIGH HAMPTON INN AND COUNTRY CLUB t JOBS AVAIU\BLE IN ALL ARIEAS CHILDREN'S PROGRAM, KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, HOUSEKEEPING BELLSTAFF, GROUNDS Call the Personnel Office between S:OOAM & 4:00PM at 828-743-2411 t it it it it * *
