  • October 20,1999 SPORTS Carolinian 19 Hoover-less Offense Improves; Cats Fall to Wofford 35-21 Wofford 35 WCU 21 by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor It seems unlikely. It seems impossible. It seems very strange to say it, but ever since the Wofford Terriers joined the Southern Conference in 1997, the Western Carolina Catamounts haven't been able to beat them. This past Saturday night, a much improved Terrier team defeated the improving Catamounts 35-21. The loss drops the Cats to 1-5 overall, 0-4 in the conference. It also makes WCU 0-3 versus the Terriers in their time in the SoCon. "We've gone through this too many times in a row. We're making the same mistakes. That is the mark of a young team," commented head coach, Bill Bleil following the disappointing loss. "We let down and gave up some big plays ... We're getting better, but not fast enough. The offense did a better job in the second half. But we've got to do that for four quarters," he added. Bleil and cast were faced with a very difficult situation Saturday morning. Senior running back Brad Hoover, one of the most prolific rushers in the conference, reported to the coaching staff that he had passed kidney stones and that the experience had left him tender and sore. It was determined that Hoov wouldn't play against the Terriers. That left the Cats short- handed—but not down. It appeared that the ball carrying would be done by committee, so to speak, with senior Darius Hooks and sophomore Walter Gary getting the majority of the handoffs. Hooks responded with 53 yards on the ground, with Gary adding 45 yards on eight carries. Both tallied a rushing touchdown, Hooks from one yard out, Gary from 10. "I thought Hooks had a great game. Hoov was our number one, and with Hooks and Walter Gary, I don't know if we missed a beat without Hoov," said Bleil. Being Hoover-less also brought in another factor—the pass. Shawn Snyder has the capabilities of getting the ball out to receivers. And WCU has a great receiving corps with Michael Banks, Jeremy Carter, Lamont Williams, and Aaron Wright. However, it came back to Hooks and Gary. When the long passes fell incomplete, it was the short screen or swing passes that Darius Hooks (18) runs a 53-yard screen pass for a touchdown. hurt Wofford. Hooks and Gary combined for 145 yards receiving (100 and 45 yds., respectively). The longest play of the day was a 53 yard screen pass/run by Darius Hooks. That score knotted the game up at seven apiece. Gary commented, "We're playing better, but not consistent. We're making big plays, but giving up too much. We've just got to get it all together. It goes back to consistency. We need have the mindset that we can and to win every play from scrimmage." Down 28-7 in the third quarter, the Cats showed determination, battling back to within 28- 21 before the Terriers' driving of- photo by Mark Haskett/OPI fense took over, grinding out an eight play, four minute, 76-yard drive that put the Terriers up 35- 21. The Cats continue to look for conference win number one as they travel to Chattanooga to take on the Moccasins. Kickoff is slated for 7:00pm from Finley Stadium. Volleyball Cats Rolling, Sweep App Second Year by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor BOONE—It wasn't pretty, but it accomplished what they wanted. The Western Carolina University women's volleyball team completed the seasonal sweep of arch-rival Appala- —-^-t! _ chian State this past AbU 1 Sunday. Not only is that the seasonal sweep, but is also the fourth straight win over the Apps in the last two years. Last year, the Lady Cats managed to keep the Lady Goons scoreless, winning both matches 3-0. This season to date, the Lady Cats have won five of their last six, and seven of their last nine matches. Despite getting the win over rival Appalachian State 3-1 (13-15, 17-15, 15-13, 15-7) and bringing their overall record up to .500 at 10-10 (8-3 in the Southern Conference), head coach Michelle Hansen wasn't happy with the performance of her squad. "[This match] was a setback for us as far as us wanting to push to better ourselves. Good teams are consistent and we haven't been," stated Hansen following the win in Boone. In that match, the Lady Cats committed 39 attack errors, 12 service errors, and seven blocking errors. But, individually, WCU put up some pretty impressive numbers. Christy Attebery led the team with 23 kills and 13 digs. Senior Ramsey Herron also posted double-digit numbers, with 16 kills and 12 digs. These two also led the team in blocking. Herron had five solo blocks, with Attebery having three. Cindy Camp added another stellar defensive performance, tallying 13 digs and pouring in eight kills. Bri Milan-Williams led the team with 48 set assists. After going up 10-4 in game one, ASU came back to take the win before losing a very close, back-and-forth game two. The Apps looked poised to win game three, going up 12-6 on Hansen's Cats. However, the Lady Cats responded with eight straight points en route to the win before dominating game four, 15-7. Last Thursday night, the Lady Cats defeated the East Tennessee State Lady Bucs 3-1 (2-15, 15-11, 15- 11, 15-7). "The ETSU game was a huge win for us. We got it at home, which is a team goal," said Hansen. Attebery once again led the team in kills, registering 22 with 13 digs and two solo blocks. Herron was second on the team in kills and digs with 13 and 16, respectively. Milan-Williams recorded a match- high 17 digs and 46 set assists. "Atty's blocking has really helped us. She's becoming a strong blocker, and that is a major plus for us," Hansen said. She also felt that the team played solid on defense. One thing that concerns Hansen is the amount of injuries that her already smaller squad. According to Hansen, every player with the exception of freshmen Caroline Trine and Erin Hensler are suffering from some sort of injury. This weekend marks Parent's Weekend for the Lady Cat volleyball team. The parents will be in town for two important Southern Conference matches. This Friday night at 7pm, Hansen's Cats take on the UNC Greensboro Lady Spartans. Earlier this year, WCU defeated the Spartans 3-1. The Davidson Wildcats will come to Cullowhee for Saturday's opposition. The Wildcats are at the top of the Southern Conference, with Chattanooga, East Tennessee State and WCU battling for the second and third slots. Game time for Saturday's match is 5:00 pm. Both matches will be held in the Ramsey Center.
