September 06,2000 EDITORIAL WESTERN CAROLINIAN Lady Cats Volleyball Drops First Three by Cory Habicht Staff Writer The Lady Catamount volleyball team opened its season last weekend in the Brion's Grille/Patriot Invitational hosted by George Mason University. Western Carolina played its first two matches of the tournament Friday, falling to George Mason 0-3 and to Maryland-Baltimore County 2-3. Western fell again on Saturday to Central Michigan University 1-3. Junior Christy Attebery, who leads the team in kills (5.29/game) and digs (3.82/game) through the first three matches, paced the Lady Cats (0-3) with nine of the squad's 27 kills against George Mason. Though falling short of a victory, Western's defense was strong throughout the contest. It totaled 34 digs to 38 by George Mason and out-blocked them 8- 3. Showing early promise, six- foot freshman middle blocker and outside hitter Pamela Stein from Port Charlotte, FL, marked 10 of those 34 digs and six kills in her first collegiate match. WCU's next match with Maryland-Baltimore County needed five games to be decided. The Lady Catamounts won the first game 15-13 and the fourth game 15-9 before falling 15-12 in a hard-fought final set. They also nearly stole the second game, slapping home 24 kills to 20 by UMBC before faultering to a 14-16 loss. Attebery, who also led the team in kills (5.32/game) and digs (3.73/game) last season, once again paced the squad in on both offense and defense, notching 19 kills and 11 digs for the team's only double-double. Western's talented freshman class made another immediate impact in this match with three scoring in double digits. Stein had 10 kills while freshmen middle blocker/outside hitter Sara Komosinski and setter Shari Harder tallied 13 kills and 15 digs. UMBC was led by stand-out Joanne Marshall who nearly carried her squad to victory single- handedly. Her outstanding overall performance included 22 kills and 20 digs. Western Carolina then took Central Michigan to four games before falling 12-15 in the final game. The match included a dominating performance in the second game, crushing Central Michigan 15-4 where Western notched nine kills to only four by CMU. The offense was once again paced by Attebery and Stein who combined to score 17 of the squad's 35 kills. Another member of WCU's fine freshmen class, Michelle Gorton, led the team with eight digs. The 5'10" middle blocker and outside hitter hails from Port Charlotte, FL and played high school volleyball against fellow freshman Pamela Stein. Junior Christy Attebery Hansen and Attebery Return After Busy Summer by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor Head women's volleyball coach Michelle Hansen and the leading returning player, Christy Attebery just couldn't do it-they couldn't put the volleyball down over the summer.

Deaf World Games, was held. The 18-20 prospects were narrowed down to the playing team of 12. "I knew it was going to be hard," said Hansen on coaching a team who couldn't hear her instructions. "But that trip (to nationals) was one of the best for me as far as challenging myself." She added, "It was great for me because I got to the point where I wasn't stressed about my sign language. By the seventh day of the trip, I woke up and was like 'Hey, this is fun!' I came back with a sense of accomplishment and feeling good about myself." While in Columbus, Hansen had the duty of waking the team each morning, something that isn't required with a Division I team. Hansen commented that she also had to somewhat alter her coaching styles with the hearing-impaired team. "It was a little frustrating at first for me because I can't communicate as fast as I could or needed to." Junior outside hitter Sports information Christy Attebery also had a busy and eventful summer vacation. Attebery was one of 22 collegiate volleyball players that was selected to travel to Rome, Italy to take part in the Seventh Annual Sibillini Italian Tournament. The tournament included teams from Russia, Yugoslavia, Italy, two teams from the US, and other European nations. Matches were played on open courts in the Marche mountain region. The two US under 20 teams were sponsored by About.com and Volleyhut.com, with Attebery being a member of the latter. It was also the Volleyhut team that won the gold medal, defeating 1997 and 1998 champion, Yugoslavia's Postar Belgrado 3- 1 (20-25, 25-22, 25-23, and 25-23). "(Winning the gold medal was) totally unexpected. We hadn't ever been in the finals. We just wanted to have fun. There was no pressure to win," Attebery said. She added, "Everyone was cheering for the US after Italy got knocked out. They even played 'Born in the USA' before the matches." "It was different playing with top level players," said Attebery. "Everyone was there for one reason, they love the game. So, that made it a different style of ball." The Las Vegas, Nevada native, who ranked thirteenth in the nation in kills a year ago, was also a part of a three-day, 3-on-3 beach volleyball tournament held at Porto San Giorgio. Attebery and her two teammates were the top US team, finishing second in the il Grillo 3x3 Classic. However, the trip to Italy wasn't all work and no play. The American teams took part in a VIP tour of the Cantinc de Castignano winery, hiking in the Sibillini Mountains, as well as shopping for the latest Italian fashions. . Attebery stated that each team was adopted by a Italian family. Every night they enjoyed Italian cuisine. "The food was the second best thing about the trip," said Attebery. "Winning the gold was the best."
