  • i man Lady Cats Split Pair in Southern Conference by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor After a loss to a conference opponent, every coach hopes to beat that opponent the second time around. For the Western Carolina University Lady Catamounts, Coach Jill Dunn wanted her team to improve on the 98-78, 20 point loss suffered in Statesboro, Ga. on January 16. And her team did that—almost. The Lady Cats fought tooth-and-nail before falling 92-83 to the Georgia Southern Lady Eagles last night in the Ramsey Center. "We played them to the buzzer," commented Head coach Jill Dunn. "Georgia Southern is a very solid team. They're good in transition, and they're hard to stop. They hurt us on the breaks." Western falls to 10-15,7-10 in the conference, while GSU improved to 13-12,12- 5 in the Southern Conference. Freshman Laura Echols led the Lady Cat attack with a career-high 28 points and 15 rebounds. It was her third double-double performance of the year and the ninth time this season she has led the team in rebounding. Another freshman, Amy Proffitt, added 10 points and swiped three steals. "Laura played outstanding for us tonight," stated Dunn. Other double-digit scorers for Dunn's Cats were Willow Russell with 12, April Fleck with 10, all scored in the second half, and senior Tamara McMahan with 11, eight of which came in the second stanza. GSU entered the game ranked number one in free throw percentage in the Southern Conference. Conversely, the Lady Cats were last. Yet, WCU out shot the Lady Eagles 71 percent to 60 percent from the charity stripe. However, their revenge came behind the three-point arc, where the Eagles completed eight of 18,44 percent, including 4- 5 in the second half, versus WCU's 14 percent (two of 14). Down 41 -29 at halftime, the Lady Cats came out and rattled off six straight unanswered points before GSU could recover. At the 14:11 mark, WCU, behind Echol's basket and foul shot, cut the GSU lead to three at 48-45. However, despite battling as hard as • they could, that was as close as WCU could come. Western looked impressive early, jumping out to a 16-8 lead before relinquishing that lead for good at the 11:17 mark of the RETIRED OR SEMI-RETIRED PERSONS WELCOME! • ^^55!5P**"-?-'**a"rd(rE « 1 » "XM ?"• t :^-i ** ^rtTV"" **""■ ******* High Hampton ton ^Country Club NOW HIRING FOR OUR 1999 SEASON Taking applications for all Positions Available: Front Desk, Kitchen Cooks, Baker and Salad apprentice, Housekeeping, and Recreation Staff for 1999 Season Limited meal privileges provided.

This past Saturday, the Lady Cats pushed their winning streak to two, and set yet another new school record in conference wins by beating the Chattanooga Lady Mocs, 59-57 in Chattanooga. The ten wins recorded by Dunn are the most by a Lady Catamount first-year head coach since the 1981-82 season when then coach Judy Stroud had 12. Freshman point guard and Cleveland, Tenn., native Amy Proffitt only managed five points on the day. Yet, none were bigger than the last two scored in the game. Proffitt nailed a shot, beating the buzzer to give WCU the win. Western put two players in double-figures, sophomore April Fleck and junior Willow Russell. Fleck added three rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes of playing tims Russell missed the double-double by on rebound by pulling down nine. The Lady Cats led 34-27 at the hal and held on down the stretch befoi Proffitt's shot. Western's Lady Cats return home thi Saturday to face the East Tennessee Stat Lady Bucs.

"It's our last home gam for our seniors and it is our momentur builder going into the Southern Conferenc Tournament. It's a big game." Baseball Drops 2 of 3 at Coastal Carolina by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor With the spring-like weather of late, one realizes that America's pastime-is just around the corner. As a matter of a fact, the Western Carolina Catamount baseball team opened up its 1999 campaign going 1 -2 with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers this past weekend. Western won the first game of the three- game series before dropping two to the Big South Conference favorite. "Basically, what it comes down to is, with the exception of a few innings, we pitched pretty well," commented second- year head coach, Rodney Hennon. "We made a few blunders in the outfield. And they did a better job of hitting with runners in scoring position." Hennon added, "But it's still early and we're going to get better as the season goes along." Sunday, the Catamounts fell behind 8- 0 over the first four innings to the Chants before rallying to fall by the count of 11 -9. Behind the bats of Chris Moore (.357, two homeruns, four RBI's), freshman Morgan Frazier, and Steve Harris's second homerun of the series, the Cats rallied to make it 9-4. Harris led WCU hitting in the series, batting .429 with six hits, two homeruns, and four RBI's. Yet, errors in the field helped Coastal push their lead to seven at 11 -4. But WCU wasn't ready to roll over. Western added five, unearned runs in the ninth inning before it was over. Frazier led the way for Hennon's freshman, connecting on a pair of doubles in his first intercollegiate series. "I was proud of the way our tear battled back from down 8-0 on Sunday, stated Hennon. "They fought back and ha a chance to win." Saturday was a busy day for the Cat. mounts. This series didn't include a double header, but someone must have forgotte to inform Mother Nature. Rain on Frida caused for the Cats and the Chants to fir ish that contest on Saturday before garr two of the series. "I don't think the weather had any a; feet on either team," commented Henno on having to finish the first game befor starting the second. In the scheduled game on Saturda^ WCU fell behind early, 5-0, and were ur able to mount a big rally, falling 5-2. Jur ior Aaron Kirby, who saved the first gamt started the second. He allowed eight hit and five runs, all earned, and surrendere a pair of CCU homeruns. The lone Cat win came on Friday (an Saturday). Western opened their seaso with a 5-2 win over Coastal Carolina. Twi back-to-back homeruns, by Chris Mooi and Eric Johnson, broke what was a 2- tie in the ninth.
