23 WCnewsmagazine Gardner-Webb Outlasts WCU, 26-20, in Overtime WCU OPI RELEASE Nick Roberts hit Dan Swartz with a 20-yard touchdown pass on third down in overtime to lift Gardner-Webb to a 26-20 win over Western Carolina Saturday night in front of an electric crowd at Spangler Stadium. Roberts was pressured heavily by the Western Carolina (2-2) pass rush on the play, but stepped out of harms way and fired a strike to the back right corner of the end zone to put the Dogs in front. The extra point was missed, leaving the door open for the Catamounts, but senior cornerback Allen Davis stepped in front of a Justin Clark pass at the goal line and picked it off setting off a celebra- tion for the 6,311 fans in attendance. Gardner-Webb (2-2) needed a tough drive to pull even in the fourth quarter, after a pair of Tim Mayse field goals pushed Western Carolina's lead to 20-13 with 10:24 left in the game. The second of Mayses field goals, a 38-yarder, was set up by a Primus Glover interception in the Catamounts end zone. GWU had drive to the Cats 18-yard line, but Glover took the ball away from a Bulldog re- ceiver in the end zone and raced 63 yards to the GWU 37-yard line. Gardner-Webbs defense continued to produce pressure, however, getting a tackle for loss and a quarterback hurry from Bryan Thornburg to force the field goal attempt. The two teams traded punts before GWUs game-tying drive, which started at the Bulldogs 28. A 24-yard pass from Roberts to Vonzell Pittman got things going on first down and a 39-yard connection from Roberts to Aaron Richardson gave GWU first and goal to go at the Western five-yard line. Roberts kept on a bootleg on first down to cut the Cats lead to 20-19, and Hunter Smiths extra point was just over the cross bar to tie the game, 20-20, with 5:57 to play. GWUs defense held steady, forcing another Western Carolina punt that trav- eled 43 yards into Bulldog territory. Davis, a transfer from East Tennessee State, sidestepped a pair of Western tacklers and returned the punt to the Catamounts 43. Gardner-Webb drove to the Cats 28-yard line before stalling, and Smiths 49-yard field goal attempt was just wide right and low to leave the score tied with 2:05 to play. Western Carolina wouldn't move the ball much on its final drive of regulation and, after a 35-yard punt, Gardner-Webb ran out the clock. The Catamounts looked to be in control of the game early, sprinting to a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, going 65 yards on 14 plays to open the game. Lamont Reid converted a fourth-and-goal from the GWU two with a bruising run for a 7-0 lead, then Francis Brown took a Graham Whitlock punt and bolted 83 yards untouched for a 14-0 lead with 5:08 to play in the quarter. Gardner-Webb used some trickery to get on the board, as running back Jer- maine Boston found Richardson open on a 30-yard halfback option pass to trim the Western Carolina lead to 14-7 with 1:49 to play in the first. Mayse missed a 48-yard field goal just before the end of the quarter, and GWU would use a Cata- mounts fumble to set up a Smith field goal of 29 yards to cut the lead to 14-10 with 10:23 to play before the half. The Bulldogs went 67 yards just before the end of the half to cut the lead to one, as Smith connected on a 24-yard trifecta to leave Western in front, 14-13 with 27 seconds in the second quarter. The two Western Carolina field goals and Roberts five yard run would ac- count for all of the scoring in the second half. Roberts finished the night with 294 total yards, completing 21-of-41 passes for 259 yards and a score, and rushing 11 times for 35 yards and another touch- down to pace the offense which racked up an effective 367 total yards. Bos- ton rushed 15 times for 31 yards, completed a 30-yard pass and caught three passes for 15 yards to finish with 76 all purpose yards, while Kory Alston caught six passes for 94 yards and Richardson hauled in five passes for 84 yards and a score. Senior Ralphell Goodson gave GWU solid field position, returning four kick- offs for a total of 120 yards (30 yards per return). Gardner-Webbs defense, which had given up over 500 yards to No. 2 Fur- man last week, was strong Saturday night, holding an explosive Western Caro- lina offense to a season-low 181 yards (95 yards rushing). Mario Williams led the way again with 14 total tackles (nine solo) and two pass break ups, but the play of true freshman linebacker Brian Johnston (6-5, 243, San Diego, Calif.) and Thornburg carried the night - as GWU pressured the Western Carolina quarter- backs nine times and had three sacks. Johnston, making only his third start, had 10 total tackles, three tackles for loss (-12), two sacks (-11) and two quarterback pressures for the Dogs. Thorn- burg pitched in with six stops, two tackles for loss and a career-high four quarter- back pressures. Tavoris Horton (eight tackles), Harold Wells (seven tackles, two TFL, forced and recovered fumble, 1 sack) and Donnie Thurman (six hits) also helped key an inspired defensive surge. Davis, one of the nations best cover men early in 2004, had four tackles (three solo) three pass break ups and the game-saving interception in overtime. Western Carolina was led by running back Nicholas Wishart, who carried 20 times for 73 yards on the night. South Carolina transfer Bennett Swygert was harassed into a 7-for-20 passing performance for 34 yards and an interception before Gastonia, N.C., native Clark came on in relief. Mayse was the most valuable Catamount for much of the evening, punting six times for an average of 42.8 yards (long of 51) and booting a pair of field goals. Jada Sullivan paced the Catamounts defense with 11 tackles (seven solo), two tackles for loss and a pressure. Western Carolina will stay on the road to face second-ranked Furman next | week (Oct. 2) at 2:00 pm. NOTES: Saturday's official attendance of 6,311 is the largest crowd to see a football game in Ernest W. Spangler Stadium history. Western Carolina is 1-3 all-time in overtime games. WCU Soccer battles Charleston | | to a 0-0 tie in Double OT WCU OPI RELEASE Western Carolina women's soccer game against the College of Charles- ton ended in a 0-0 tie after two rounds of overtime play Friday evening at Schrader Field. This marks the ninth time in WCU womens soccer six-year history that the Catamounts have played past regulation, and the third time the match ended in a tie. It is also the second-consecutive year that the Catamounts and Cougars have ventured into double overtime, with the College of Charleston winning last year, 2-1. The Cougars outshot the Catamounts 13-9, with sophomore Abi Nicho- las leading the offense with three shots. Junior Casey Davis led the Catamounts on offense with four shots. Junior Natalie Turgeon and freshman Heather Dittmer each contributed two shots as well to Westerns total of nine shots for the game. Catamount keeper, sophomore Alesha Row had a game high five saves including a crucial stop in the first half on a penalty kick from the Cougars Perri Brenner. | could not be more proud of the effort and performance of our team to- day, Head Coach Debbie Hensley said. They played with the passion and heart that we have been looking for all season. Hopefully we can continue this momentum throughout the remainder of our season. The Catamounts return home this Sunday, Sept. 26 as they host the East Carolina Pirates in non-conference action. Match time is set to start at 1:00 pm at Schrader Field.
