Transcript

February 07, 2001 SPORTS WESTERN CAROLINIAN 23 Cats Drop Three to Start Season continued from back Rhoney, who went 1 -for-3 on the day, had WCU's only extra base hit. 'We had one bad inning Friday and gave up the eight-spot, and that was the difference in the game," said Raleigh. In his first action since a two-thirds of an inning performance last season at Carolina, Robbie Hoover took the loss after three innings of work in which he surrendered four runs on four hits and striking out a pair. The Cats committed three errors in the game. Western Carolina will travel east this weekend to take on the 20 ranked East Carolina Pirates. Raleigh is very familiar with the ECU squad because he helped bring a large majority of it in during his stint in Greenville. "They're a good club," said Raleigh. "They'll probably swing the bats better than Auburn, but they're beatable. We've got to play well and give ourselves a chance to win." He added, "If we get the pitching that we got this past weekend, we'll be alright. We definitely won't be able to sneak up on them after they see the scores from Auburn." "When we went down to Wofford, they got a lot of good looks and shot the lights out. Tonight, we moved the ball around and got good looks." Lady Cats Win Pair continued from back Tuesday night. She felt the team played very hard for a large portion of the game and fed off it's early lead. "We had a good effort for a good 35 minutes," she said. "We grabbed a hold of the game early and held on." She felt ball movement and overall offensive and defensive strategy was much improved from their previous meeting . with the Lady Terriers, a ten-point WCU loss. "When we went down to Wofford, they got a lot of good looks and shot the lights out," said Dunkenberger. "Tonight, we moved the ball around and got good looks." McGillivary scored a career-high 21 points, leading the Lady Cats to a 91-60 thrashing of Southern Conference rival Davidson College Saturday night at the Ramsey Center. The win was the first home triumph for Western Carolina this season. The Lady Catamounts jumped all over Davidson early, building a huge lead they would never relinquish. McGillivary buried a three-point basket with 12:01 left in the first stanza to cap a 25-4 Western run to open the game. Just as their lead slightly began to fade, Hamm hit another three-pointer, one of the Lady Cats' six for the ball game, to put the score at 36-15 with - only 6:36 left in the opening half. The Lady Wildcats fought back, however, and ended the period with a 16- . 4 run to shrink Western's seemingly insurmountable lead to single digits at 40-31. Western Carolina charged out of the halftime gates just as they had opened ■the game. Scoring the half's first nine points en route to a 21-8 run, the Lady Catamounts would stretch their lead back to 22 at 61-39. They would steadily increase this margin until the final whistle, when the score stood at 91-60. The game's statistics told much the same story as the scoreboard, as they dominated both sides of the floor. Offensively, the Lady Cats shot 53 percent from the field, including 50 percent from beyond the three-point arc. Their suffocating defense allowed the Lady Wildcats only 31 percent shooting, while Western Carolina dominated the glass with a 51-37 rebounding advantage. McGillivary led four Lady Cat hoopsters in double figures. Echols and Hamm pitched in with 18 and 17 down low, respectively. Echols also grabbed ten boards for the squad's only double double. Heggins notched 13 points to reach double digits as well. Fleck played solidly all-around, tallying eight points, nine rebounds, and three steals. She now has 221 career steals moving her to second all- time on the Lady Cats career list. This week, Western Carolina will face two difficult league road games to determine whether they can delve further into the conference standings approaching the Southern Conference tournament. These include match-ups with Chattanooga and Georgia Southern, the league's second and third place teams, respectively. "We have a chance to pull off some David attacking Goliath in the next two games," Dunkenberger said. "I think we have a good chance to pull off two wins this week." Western Carolina Announces 2001 Football Schedule WCU Media Relations Western Carolina will play six home football games, including its home opener on August 30, and travel to the University of Louisville (Sept. 8) during the 2001 season, it was announced. The schedule features three consecutive games versus teams that finished the 2000 season ranked among the nation's top 25. The Catamounts will host Furman (Sept. 29), which will coincide with Mountain Heritage Day, play at defending national champion Georgia Southern (Oct. 6), and return home to face Wofford (Oct. 13). GSU defeated the University of Montana in the championship game of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs held in Chatanooga, Tennessee. Other key dates for Western Carolina include Virginia Military Institute on Oct. 27, which will be the centerpiece of WCU's Homecoming weekend, and the regular-season finale at Appalachian State on Nov. 10 in the annual battle for the Old Mountain Jug. The Mountaineers, which reached the national semifinals this past fall, join Furman, Georgia Southern, and •#* m 2001 Catamount Football Schedule Date Opponent Aug. 30 Mars Hill Sept. 8 at Louisville Sept. 15 The Citadel * Sept. 22 at E.

The Catamounts will start the 2001 season with a Thursday night contest at home versus Mars Hill for the second time in the past three seasons. The last time WCU faced off agains MHC was in the 1999 season prior to the game at the University of Maryland. The Cats defeated Mars Hill 54-0 at Whitmire Stadium. The early start is to accommodate WCU supporters prior to the Labor Day Holiday. Western Carolina will then face its second non-conference opponent on Sept. 8 when it travels to Louisville. The Cardinals, led by returning All-American safety Anthony Floyd, are coming off a 9-3 season, winning seven of their final eight regular-season games to earn a berth in the 2000 Liberty Bowl. The Cats wilP step out of conference for a third time when they host Liberty on Nov. 3. "The Thursday opener, versus Mars Hill, is great for our fans and students," said head coach Bill Bleil. "I also like the overall layout of the schedule. 1 especially like playing our big rival, Appalachian State, in our final regular-season game again. "As it was last year, the Southern Conference will be the best in the country top-to-bottom. I am excited about the upcoming season." Western Carolina will return 10 starters on offense in 2001, which will be the school's 68 season of football. On defense, the Catamounts will be led by senior defensive tackle Jeff Chambers and junior linebacker Seth Hansen. The offense will return the Southern Conference Freshman-of-the-Year, Lamont Seward at wide receiver, and will also have the "running back by committee." Fred Boateng, Lee Williams, and Donnie Bryant will led the ground attack for Bleil and the Cats. WCU will have to reload on special teams after the loss of Josh Jones, the All-American placekicker.
