wevU SPORTS Catamounts fall in SoCon opener to Georgia Southern, 50-21 @ @ By Ryan Sarda * WCnewsmagazine Coming off of their first win in more than a year to Presbyterian the week before, The Catamounts had a lot of momentum headed into Paulson Stadium when they took on the Eagles of Georgia Southern. However, their Southern Conference woes continued, and their new winning streak was quickly snapped as The Eagles handed the Catamounts their ninth consecutive conference loss, dropping Western 50-21. The win moves Georgia Southern to a 16- 2 series lead against the Catamounts, and WCU has not defeated The Eagles since 1994. We got beat by two teams today - Georgia Southern beat us and we beat ourselves. They did a great job on the things you have to do to win a football game, said Catamount head coach Kent Briggs. The difference in the game was the turnovers. The Catamounts turned the ball over four times, and The Eagles were able to capitalize, as they racked in 23 points. In the second quarter, the Catamounts fumbled the football three times on three consecutive possessions. Those fumbles turned into two touchdowns for The Eagles. Georgia Southerns Mike Hamilton scored the first of those touchdowns with a two-yard run, and Chris Teal contributed with a three-yard run of his own. The Eagles took a 27-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. In the first half, we had too many turnovers, too many mistakes, especially against a team like Georgia Southern. In the second half, | felt we came back and fought hard, said Briggs. Despite the loss, Catamount senior Eddie Cohen recorded a career day, catching eight passes and 212 yards. He also accounted for all three of the second half touchdowns for the Cats, which came from 52, 48, and 13 yards out. The senior from Hilton Head, South Carolina became the fourth Western receiver to pass the 200-yard receiving mark in a game. Eddie played with a lot of heart. He went out there and made plays and kept right on fighting until the end, said Briggs. | am very proud of his effort and very proud of his performance. He really stepped up for us today. Red-shirt freshman, Adam_ Hearns, took the majority of the snaps for the Cats, and finished the game 10-of-26 for 213 yards, marking a career high. Senior quarterback Todd Spitzer, who started the game, finished 8-of-13 for 113 yards and one lost fumble. On the ground, the Catamounts had a rough time moving the ball against the tough Eagle defense as they were held to only 27 yards on the day. Senior running back Mike Malone was held to a season low in rushing yards, as he finished with 23 yards on five carries. Georgia Southern moved the ball very well on the ground as they picked up 248 yards. Defensively, four Catamounts finished with double-digit tackle totals led by junior linebacker Quinton Phillips with 19. Sophomore Chris Collins, junior Michael Shaw, and senior Mordy Ornguze all finished with 12 tackles apiece. Sophomore Lee Stanley also contributed on the defensive end as he recorded the only takeaway of the game for Western. He recovered a fumble on Georgia Southerns final possession. Georgia Southerns quarterback, Jayson Foster, was perfect on the day finishing the game 10-for-10 with 147 yards through the air. He also accumulated 96 yards on the ground, including a first-quarter score that put The Eagles up 10-0. Elon wins thriller against WCU 38-36 and sends Catamounts to 10 straight SoCon losses By Ryan Sarda * WCnewsmagazine The Adam Hearns era kicked off with a bang on Saturday, October 6, when it was announced that the Philadelphia native would be starting at quarterback for Western in their game against Elon. Rebounding from a tough 50-21 SoCon opening loss to the Eagles of Georgia Southern, the Catamounts lost a thriller to the Elon Phoenix 38-36 at EJ Whitmire Stadium. : Three lost fumbles and a missed extra point sealed the fate for the Catamounts during the game. Still, no matter how dark it was, Adam Hearns proved to all the Catamount faithful that he is the quarterback of the future. He had a monumental day and finished 21-of-41 with 310 yards and three touchdown passes. He also led Western in rushing with 73 yards and a second quarter leaping touchdown. The loss, however, extended Westerns Southern Conference losing streak to ten, which is a school record. They move to 0-2 in SoCon play this season, and fall to 1-5 overall. | just wanted to go out there and win and play hard. | didnt feel much pressure, and | wasn't nervous about making my first start. Coach (Briggs) put the game on my shoulders and | had to be the leader tonight. | just wanted to go out and play my best, said Hearns. The Catamounts were down 38-30 when Hearns completed a 10-yard pass to senior Eddie Cohen to cut the deficit to two (38-36) with 13:38 remaining in the contest. On the two-point conversion, his pass was incomplete, keeping the score at 38-36. Cohen finished the game with 177 yards receiving and 12 receptions. (Adam) Hearns did a nice job for us and he fought hard all game long. He brought a lot of explosiveness to the offensive line, avoided the pass rush well, and made some key plays that were determining factors in the game, said Catamount Head Coach Kent Briggs. With 2:13 remaining in the first half, Hearns made an 11-yard run that was capped off by an acrobatic leap into the end zone which put Western ahead 23-21. Hearns finished the first half with 187 total yards and guided the Cats to four scores. His Superman-like performance gave him some respect from the opposition. He was like Michael Vick McNabb out there, said Elon linebacker Daronce Daniels. It looked like he had an S on his chest out there, and we didnt have the kryptonite. During the closing minutes of the game, both teams defenses stepped it up and prevented further scores. Westerns defense shut out the explosive Elon offense for the final 23 minutes of the game and helped give the Catamount offense four tries to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Im hurting for the team because they played hard and fought all game long and they also believed in one another. It was a really sad locker room after the game, but you cant be upset about their effort, said Briggs. Elon took advantage of three WCU fumbles and turned two first half back-to-back Catamount fumbles into 14 points. Western was never able to fully recover from that setback. Mistakes are part of football. We just need to work on fixing those mistakes this week at practice and we will do so, said Briggs. Elons quarterback Scott Riddle threw for 354 yards and was 30-of-45 with four touchdowns and no interceptions. Western out-gained Elon on total offense (462-404), but they were never able to rebound from the back-to-back fumbles from Malone and Willie Harper and the Parsons missed extra point. You cannot be too hard on those guys for their effort tonight. | think we really grew up from the Georgia Southern game and right now | think we're as close as we have been in a while. They left everything they had on the field, said Briggs. The Cats will do battle with the Mocs at UT-Chattanooga on October 13. Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. The Cats will look to end their 10-game conference skid and win their first road game of the year. We need to stay together as a team and keep the fire burning inside. If we can do that, then there is no doubt that we will win, said Hearns. This loss hurts, but we're going to keep fighting and we will bounce back.
