  • 18 WESTERN CAROLINIAN SPORTS September 13, 2000 WCU Lady Volleyball Breaks into Win Column by Daniel Hooker Sports Editor Last Thursday, the Western Carolina Lady Catamount volleyball team loaded up on buses, stopped by the new Catamount statue for luck, and traveled southward to the "Sunshine State" to take part in a Fall Invitational tournament held at the University of Central Florida. The Lady Cats lost their first and last matches of the event, but did manage their first victory, 3-2, over Florida International. The first loss came to Bowling Green, 0-3, and the Lady Cats lost to host UCF 1-3. In Saturday's finale, the Lady Cats took the early l-O lead by defeating the Golden Knights 16-14. However, Central Florida rattled off three straight game wins, 6-15, 10-15, and 12-15, to take the match. Christy Attebery led the way for Western Carolina, recording the double-double with 28 kills and 14 digs. It marked the fourth time this young season that the Las Vegas, Nevada native had tallied a double- double. Another junior, injured Bri Milan-Williams, was able to play in all four games against the Golden Knights, finishing with 49 assists and team-leading 17 digs. She also finished with five service aces. Rounding out the statistical leaders for the Lady Cats was freshman Pamela Stein. She recorded the double-double with 13 kills and 14 digs. Freshmen Sara Komosinski and Crissi Harrison both missed double-digit kills by one, finishing with nine. As a team, the Lady Cats played well in games one and three, tallying 22 and 19 kills, respectively. Western Carolina ended their five- game skid, picking up their first win of the season defeating Florida International 3-2 in five games (15-2, 10-15, 15-10, 14-16, and 15-10). The back-and-forth match was dominated in game one by the Lady Cats. FIU would keep it close, winning the fourth game 14-16 forcing the rally fifth. For the second time this season Attebery recorded 30-plus kills, knocking down 35 in the win. She added 19 digs in her double-double performance. Milan-Williams was able to play the entire match, finishing with 55 set assists and 11 digs, also with five kills.

One week later, they'd rather simply leave that tournament in the past and move on with their fall season in preparation for the Southern Conference championships. The Lady Cats finished in 28 out of 31 competing teams in the Unlimited Po- tential/Baytree Intercollegiate with a 54- hole total of 1,012. That number, even though it doesn't sound that good, ranks third in the WCU record book for lowest team 54-hole tournament score. The Lady Cats finished just two shots behind SoCon member Wofford in 27, with Appalachian State finishing seven shots in front of the youthful strikers. Kent State edged out Penn State by eight shots to take the title in soggy Myrtle Beach — soggy because the South Carolina destination city had nearly 10 inches of rain over the six days :'~-- prior to the tournament. "We were expecting better. The whole team was disappointed. They expected more, but that's just golf," said coach Lott. "The course was wet, but that's no excuse. A lot of teams played it well." The Lady Cats were led by junior Mary Faulk and sophomore Shelley Glenister, as opposed to the two that battled for the Judaculla Cup. Rebecca Twiner and Suzanne Shipley struggled a little, in the second and first rounds respectively, finishing third and fourth for WCU. However, it was positive to see two other golfers step up and take the leadership roles. Lott commented that if the two apparent top golfers could step it up with the assistance of the rest of the team, it would be beneficial for the team. This weekend, the Lady Cats are traveling to Radford for the Draper Valley Women's Intercollegiate with what Lott calls, "a real strong field." "We know how good we are — we've got the best team here ever. We've just got to go out and show it." He added, "We've got to learn how not to be scared of being good." ~T*sa, ■4- y. .—.j^—^— \X.a/J Gore: /Jumieure., £recucujre.$> £ 0?cryJ/c. o£t'n Gore: 'J-aclais, GAemi'cai' iPeeJs, ^Permanent' <Ma£eup, £ Jlia.lte.uf) Ifflafteooers.
