September 20, 2000 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 19 Cats Flounder in the Bulldogs' Red Zone by Mike Poston Staff Writer CHARLESTON - Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but didn't. That describes the Catamount's 17- 10 Southern Conference loss to The Citadel on Saturday. Head coach Bill Bleil was disappointed with the loss, but thought it would help the young players on his squad mature a little faster. "That's a game we should've won." said Bleil. "Wc felt we should've won it going in. I thought the guys played hard right to the end." He added, "II was not a lack of intensity or a lack of effort, il was critical mistakes that hurt us that wc couldn't overcome. [fit were a lack of talent or lack of effort, then I'd he really concerned, but it's not cither one of them." Citadel (1-2, 1-0) opened the game with a ten play, 69- yard drive that ended in a touchdown. By contrast the Catamount offense opened with an interception. However, contrary to the first drive, Citadel was unable to score off the turnover due to a tough Catamount defense. The defense led the Cats (1 - 2, 0-1) while the offense was looking for their rhythm. The offense seemed to find their rhythm as they roared back with a ten-play, 77-yard touchdown drive that was capped by a Lee Williams 17-yard touchdown run. However, the offensive success ends there for the Cats. The offense could move the ball, but couldn't punch the ball into the end /.one. They outgained Citadel 310 to 227, including nearly 200 yards on the ground. However, the Bulldogs capitalized on opportunities. Freshman Fred Boateng led the Cats in rushing, totaling 113 yards on 20 carries. Boateng currently ranks third in the nation among Division I-AA freshman rushers, averaging over 90 yards per game. The lack of scoring was compounded by a number of penalties. Western Carolina had ten penalties for 85 yards and they helped kill a last minute drive by Cats. The Cats couldn't convert a fourth down and 25 and the game was over. Bleil said, "We had ten penalties which seemed to come at critical times. That's killing us right now." Blocking was also a weak spot for the Cats' offense. Quarterback David Rivers was chased from the pocket and was given limited time to work in the backfield. Bleil and head athletics trainer Brian Franklin expect lineman Caleb Queen to return to the youthful line to help. Also expected to return to the lineup is senior wide out, and team captain, Caesar Campana. The Orlando, Fla. native missed The Citadel game because of a hip flexor. Bleil said that having his good hands and his leadership back on the field will help out offensively. Despite the inconsistent offense, the defense was anything but inconsistent. They held The Citadel to 227 yards and 17 points. They also made great plays to keep Western Carolina in the game. Bleil said of the defense, "After the first series, I thought they played well. They created turnovers and gave the ball back to the offense." After quarterback David Rivers, who completed 12 of 27 passes, threw his second interception on the night, the defense recovered a fumble that gave the Cats a last ditch chance to tie the game. Senior strong safety Lorenzo Ferguson led the defense with 14 tackles, four for losses. Larry Jones and Andre Miller compiled nine tackles each. Freshman Marqua.il Wells picked off Bulldog quarterback Joe Call on the defensive side. In addition to the fourth quarter fumble the defense also forced two other turnovers inside the red zone to deny the Bulldog offense. Bleil said, "The defense gained a lot of confidence at The Citadel." Now the Cats turn their attention toward East Tennesee State on Saturday, who handily defeated Virginia Military Institute 38-3 on Saturday in Johnson City. The defense will have to shine against ETSU quarterback Todd Wells. "Wells does a nice job," said Bleil. "He's got a great arm and an effortless throw. He's got some good receivers and he's getting it to them effectively and they're doing a nice job, playing really well." The Catamount offense will have to find what they lost in Charleston against a tough Buccaneer defense. "East Tennessee's is going to give you a lot of different looks and bring blitzes from everywhere. They very rarely bring a lot of people, five maybe six, but they're going to bring them from everywhere," said Bleil. He added, "You've really got to do a good job of \ icking up the blitzes and getting the ball out of your hand and knowing how you want to attack them with the run." Kickoff is set for 6 pm at Whitmire Stadium/Waters Field. The athletics department will have their tailgate festivities two hours prior to the kick near the field house. Tennis Falls Short to UNC-Charlotte Sports Information Western Carolina (0-1) women's tennis fell to UNC Charlotte 3-4 Saturday afternoon in the team's season opener. Juniors Shelby Fitzpatrick and Emmy King came back from 0-1 deficits in the first set to win sets two and three defeating Charlotte's Gina Craig and Bailey Gainey respectively. Fitzpatrick lost the first set 3-6 when she fought back in the second to win 7-5 and the third 6-1. King was shut out her first set (0-6) and came back to win 6-4 and 6-3. Freshman Kristin Munn also had a come from behind victory over Alice Hansen. She lost the first set 1 -6, then won the second 7- 5 after a hard fought battle and finished the match with a 6-4 third set victory. "I was very pleased with the way the entire team played," stated Head Coach Jan Stubbs. "All of the girls fought hard for the entire match. There was a lot of pressure on the newcomers to do well and they proved to be a great asset to the team. This season's team has definitely stepped up the intensity from last season." The Lady Cats will travel to East Tennessee State for the ETSU Tournament Friday and Saturday, September 22-23. RESULTS Singles #1 Kristin Munn (WCU) def.

Lady Catamount head coach Michelle Hansen saw much improvement with her team Friday night and witnessed qualities she believe will make the team a force to be reckoned with in the Southern Conference this season. "I liked that we took the lead and kept it," she said. "I thought we served pretty tough tonight (Friday). We need to keep serving tough." She also pointed towards the team's youth as one of its major weaknesses in early season play, considering four of the squad's six starters are freshmen and the team has no seniors. "We have so many freshmen on the floor at one time that we're still establishing our system and getting comfortable with it," said Hansen. "There are still a couple miscommunications in the play sets." Heading into the Samford Tournament this weekend, Hansen feels the conference is still very much up in the air. "The competition is very tough," she said. "There are five or six teams in the upper echelon (of the SoCon) thrs year."
