  • jgmsc^f^m. w • s t e r n ■ • • ^Carolinian Golf Teams Place Fifth by Donald Costello The Western Carolina men's and women's golf teams both placed fifth in the Appalachian State Golf Invitational last week held at the Graysburg Golf Course in Chuckey, Tenn. The men's team was led by sophomore Brad Hawkins, who had the outright lead after the first round, shooting an even-par 72. Hawkins was unable to build on his success the second day, shooting a disappointing 81 for a two-day total of 153, placing him in ninth place individually. The second best round for the Cats was posted by junior Jason Thomas who shotia 75 in the first round and a 79 in the second. Western was tied for the tournament lead with a 301 with UT-Martin following the first round, and shot a 317 in the second round to place the Cats just ahead of Appalachian by 10 strokes. The combined score for Western totaled 618 in the two-day event. That score placed the Cats only nine shots off the pace set by tournament winner Elon College, which won in a one-hole sudden death playoff with Winthrop. Winthrop golfer Chris Chamberlain was the medalist, with a two-round total of 146. The women's team continued to show improvement, with a fifth place finish out of nine teams. Summer Brannock was WCU's top performer with an 83 and 88 for a total of 171— 16 shots off the pace set by medalist Janice Roberts from Winthrop who shot a 155. Carrie Shaffer was second for Western with a two-day score of 174. She shot an 81 on day one, her best round in a collegiate event. East Tennessee State won the event with a score of 650,49 shots ahead of Western and 14 strokes better than second-place Appalachian. The women's team competed this week in the WCU-Cleghorn Invitational held at Cleghorn Plantation in Rutherfordton. Results were unavailable at press time. The men will compete in the UTC Fall Invitational this upcoming Monday and Tuesday at the Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club in Signal Mountain, Tenn. Breaks Finally Find Cats by Daniel Hooker In the game this past Saturday on Parent's Weekend, the Western Carolina Catamounts football team capitalized on the few breaks they have had this year. Senior linebacker Marcus Bradley commented, "We've been fighting this whole season. We've had some unlucky breaks in the East Tennessee game and the Liberty game, and that's what lost them for us." Breaks have, for the most part, gone against the Catamounts this season. Late in the game against Liberty, a Josh Brooks pass was deflected but caught by Kenya Crooks. Unfortunately for the Cats, they were short on the crucial fourth-down play. The next week, opportunities presented themselves to kill the Cats' chances against The Citadel, With time dwindling in the second quarter, Marcus Johnson ofthe Bulldogs blocked a punt and returned it 33 yards for a touchdown. Yet, the Catamounts were able to overcome and survive for Bleil's first victory. "This whole season, up to this point, the ball had been bouncing the wrong way," noted senior receiver Kenya Crooks. "I'm just happy that it finally bounced in the right direction today." The second quarter this year has spelled trouble for the Catamounts. In the first three games, Western had given up 42-points. Half of those given up came two weeks ago in Johnson City, Tenn., against East Tennessee State. Three touch downs, one a 72-yard pass and another a 62- yard run, broke what had been a close game into a blow-out. Adding to the Cats' unlucky woes, two interceptions stopped offensive drives. This past Saturday, the breaks finally fell for the Catamounts. With time dwindling and the Paladins needing the ball, Brooks fumbled the ball into the air after he ran out of the pocket. "Oh no! Here we go again," was the thought that ran through Brook's mind as he watched the ball sail through the air. Yet, as if by fate, Kenya Crooks grabbed the ball out of the air and fell forward for the first down. Brooks added, "I'm just glad that Kenya was there." Another break fell for the Catamounts Saturday. With 52 seconds left on the clock, the Paladins attempted a 42-yard field-goal that would have won the game. However, the ball went about a yard left ofthe intended path, giving the Cats the one point upset victory. "We got breaks today. The last couple of games, we've been getting the wrong breaks. Everybody else was getting them, but I knew that if we kept on fighting and struggling that we could get the breaks," said Bradley, who had the second interception of the year and returned it for a touchdown. The good breaks helped the Catamounts upset the 18th-ranked Paladins. Next week, Western will also need to capitalize on any breaks offered as they will look for upset number two against the 17th-ranked Georgia Southern Eagles. Volleyball Hopes for Rebound from Weekend Losses by Donald Costello The Catamount volleyball team returns home to Reid Gym this week after dropping two weekend matches to Davidson and UNC- Greensboro. Western rolled into Greensboro on Saturday looking to stay in contention for the lead in the Southern Conference but saw that effort halted by losses in straight games, 15-10, 15-2, and 15-4. The Cats saw their attack percentage tumble to an season low of .000 while Greens boro countered with a .301 attack percentage. Sophomore transfer Shannon Sweeney led Western with nine kills but had eight attack errors. Fellow teammate Ramsey Herron had seven kills, seven digs, and three blocks in the UNC-G match. The night before saw Davidson rout the Cats in straight games again, 15-8, 15-5, and 15-5. The Wildcats rolled up an attack percentage of .273 while Western countered with another poor percentage of .061. Sweeney again led the Catamounts with 12 kills but again had eight attack errors. Junior Keeya McManus has eight kills, while both Jessica Madden and Holly Poff were in double figures in the dig department with 11. The losses dropped Western to 7-10 overall and 3-3 in the Southern Conference, three matches behind first place Chattanooga, which is 6-0 in conference play. Appalachian State will roll into Cullowhee on Friday night for a 7 p.m. match. App is currently in third place in the Southern Conference with a 4-2 record and has a 13 game winning streak against WCU. It will be the first of a four-match homestand for the Cats that will see ETSU, Charleston Southern and Georgia Southern come to Reid Gym in the next two weeks. These four matches will be key before Western's final stretch that will include only three home matches out of the final eleven. by Greg Iredell The wrestling world suffered a loss when Brian Pillman was found dead in his hotel room on Sunday. No word as to the cause of death. The WWF's "Badd Blood" on Sunday night was a less-than-stellar pay per view. The Godwins defeated the Headbangers to win the tag team championship. Wrestling legends, which included Terry Funk and Harley Race, were honored for their achievements. Steve Austin hit Faruoq with the belt to help Owen Hart win the Intercontinental Championship tournament. Austin handed over his belt by throwing it in the ring. The Undertaker/Shawn Micheals cage match was worth the price of the show. This was the best match I've ever seen. Micheals abused a cameraman, got cut wide open, and fell 10 feet onto a broadcast table after the combatants were on top of the cage. The Undertaker's brother, Cain, made his debut by ripping the door off of the cage and "Tombstoning" him, giving Micheals the match. On Raw, Austin said he would only sign a liability waiver if he gets a title shot against Owen Hart. Vince McMahon agreed. On WCW Nitro, after Dallas Page performed the Diamond Cutter on Disco Inferno, he was attacked by The Macho Man. Macho received a Cutter on the concrete for his efforts and was removed by stretcher. Couldn't happen to a better guy. Commissioner Piper announced that the Outsiders must defend the tag team belts next week on Nitro or they will be stripped. Piper and Hogan brawled to hype their upcoming cage match at Halloween Havoc, which should be a good one. Ric Flair returned to help Benoit who was being attacked by the NWO. He chased Hennig out of the building. He then came back to the ring to declare war on the entire NWO. Whooooooo! Good to see the Natureboy back. NCW stars Surge and his brother wrestled on Raw as the Hardy Boys. Along with the Punisher that's three local wrestlers in the WWF. Next week I'll have a preview of Halloween Havoc and hopefully something on the ECW.
