  • March 29, 2000 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 23 Lady Cats Come Up On Short End of the Racquet ■s by David Bartholomew Asst. Sports Editor Western Carolina tennis lost another tough match on a windy Tuesday afternoon, 9-0 to Davidson. The loss drops the Lady Catamounts to 3-9 overall and 0-4 in the Southern Conference. "Davidson handled the elements really well and their concentration was just better than ours." Coach Jan Stubbs said. The individual matches were closer than the scores indicated. WCU #1 seed Janie Wicklund lost 2-6, 2-6 to Wildcat sophomore Forbes Thompson. Wicklund kept the match close, but was unable to finish off key points. Sophomore #2 seed Shelby Fitzpatrick was unable to get anything going against Elizabeth Moreno. The Columbus, Ga. native suffered through a frustrating day as her game just wasn't there in the 1 -6,0- 6 loss. Terryjean Youtz returned from injuries to battle hard against Katherine Helm. Youtz was unable to finish the match after losing the first set 0-6. Emmy King also struggled to get into the swing of things, dropping her match to Kelley Cantrell 1-6,0-6. Senior Micheel Munse recovered from a one-sided first set before bowing out to Anna Holland 0-6, 5-7. "Munse was definitely a bright spot for us today." Coach Stubbs commented. The closest match of the day was between the six seeds. Junior Laura Collier lost a tie break in the third set to fall 6-7, 6-4, 8-10. "Laura really fought out there, something we really need." Coach Stubbs said. In doubles play, the Lady Catamounts were unable to mount any offense. Davidson took both matches with scores of 8-1 and 8-0. The Wildcats were awarded the third doubles match by default. Davidson improved their record to 4-7. Western Carolina also dropped their conference match with College of Charleston over the weekend by a 9-0 margin. The Lady Catamounts had two defaults in the match due to an injury to Yountz. Stubbs was disappointed with the teams performance. "Today we were not focused and that has to change. We just have to fight and few of us are doing that." The Lady Catamounts return to action on the Reid Courts Sunday at 2pm against the Buccaneers from East Tennessee State. Western Carolina tennis will host their final match Tuesday, April 4, against Chattanooga. Hansen Selected Assistant for the US Deaf Women's National Volleyball Sports Information The USA Deaf Sports Federation Volleyball Ad Hoc Committee selected Western Carolina's Volleyball Head Coach, Michelle Hansen for the position of Assistant Coach for the US National Women's Volleyball Team.

The Wake Forest Demon Deacons defeated in-state rival, North Carolina State, in the final four of the National Invitational Tournament Tuesday night, advancing to Friday's final in the "Big Apple," New York. Some have laughingly called it the "Not In" or the "No Indianapolis" Tournament. Now I realize that the mass majority of basketball fans care for the NIT about as much as a drowned rat cares for water, but for those teams — and their appreciative fans — it means something. What, I'm not quite sure, but it does mean something. So all of those anti-NIT people out there, let it go. Give those teams their credit, and let those fans enjoy the successes of their teams. Besides, a NIT championship is better than a plane ticket stub home after being knocked out of the NCAA's early. I Should've Seen it Coming Speaking of appreciative fans, haven't the skies of Western North Carolina seemed a little more, I don't know, Powder Blue lately? Perhaps it is the influx of Tar Heel fans returning from the closets with all of their paraphernalia, beating their chests and singing the praises of their Final Four bound heroes. I should have expected it. It happens all of the time. Maybe that's one of the reasons UNC fans are the most resented in all of college athletics—that and their constant whining. However, it is here that I must give the boys in baby blue their credit. They have done what no one in the right state of mind had predicted. Defeating Missouri, who's tallest player was a cut from the "Wizard of Oz's" Munchkinland, really came as no surprise. But handling the trees of Stanford was a bit of a minor shock—even though the boys from northern California were a bit overrated. Then, in a battle where the lesser of the two evils would prevail—the annoying Burnt Orange or faded Duke blue—the tar- laden feet once again survived, advancing to face the Golden Hurricanes of Tulsa. Regardless of what the countless fair- weather fans want to allow, this "Road to the Final Four" was less than impressive. Quality wins? Stanford. MU, UT, and TU were overrated. However, Congrats to the Tar Heels and head coach Bill Gutheridge for making it to Indianapolis. Coach Gut took an eighth- seeded team to thefinals—face it, Dean had enough trouble taking number one's and two's that far. You Can't Handle the Truth... Sticking with college basketball, last week, a former Indiana basketball player came out and made accusations involving IU head coach Bobby Knight and physical abuse which he endured at the hands of "the General." Many players and alumni have come to Knight's defense. Guess it's the lasting influence that the Teflon One had on me, or the Indiana reminders from Features Editor, Alex Esmon, but it's my turn to throw my two cents in...anyone have change for a nickel? Bobby Knight is one of the best coaches in the game right now, ranking right up there with Duke's coach K. Knight has been criticized for his strict rules, harsh treatment of players, and his overall demeanor. People criticize his tactics—his demanding respect from his team. Oh, heaven forbid that a intercollegiate team be disciplined and have respect for the game. Sure, Knight has been known for his altercations with the officials. Who'll ever forget the "TV" Teddy Valentine incident, or the infamous chair toss. Regardless of personal opinions, it is obvious that the General is a great coach regardless of what pathetic, whining, former-players say. Rumor has it that Reid took classes in whining at the University of No Class in Chapel Hill, but those are just rumors. Musings from a Wise Man The other day, a wise man shared an epiphany that he had involving our esteemed chancellor. He said, and I quote, "Chancellor Bardo is like a bad NCAA basketball official; he annoys you for a while, but then you realize that he will have no long term effect on your life." Reflections I'll take this opportunity to reflect upon the multitude of firings-er, terminations that have taken place down in the athletic department these past weeks. First, it was the women's head basketball coach, followed closely by her assistant staff. Then, the Assistant AD for External Affairs was handed his walking papers. And each one left Cullowhee asking "Why?" Well, perhaps those in charge don't understand the pressures put on coaches for winning, or staff for raising money. Who knows the answers...I'll be the first to admit that I don't know. However, the message is clear. Win or succeed or your out—regardless of the circumstances. Guess Bardo will ignore the laundry list of injuries suffered by Coach Raleigh and the baseball team to axe him come the end of the season just as he did Jill Dunn and the basketball staff. The message is truly clear; Good luck, succeed, and if you don't, you're gone!
