Page 7 WESTERN CAROLINIAN September 26, 2008 SPORTS New Football Turf Debuts at E.J. Whitmire/Bob Waters Field (continued from page 1) As of press time, results of how Western faired on the new turf against Samford were unavailable. ing as they are in influencing all prospective students to at- tend WCU. This is just one part of that image. No future renovations of Whitmire Stadium/Bob Wa- ters Field are planned as of right now. We constantly work to maintain and take care of our facilities as much as possible, however, there are not any major renovations planned, said Smith. Our facilities are a highly visible component of the impression people have of the university. Whitmire Sta- dium, specifically, is host to the largest groups of visitors to campus, so it is important to have a safe, functional and pleasant environment. For ex- SANS UN Me ea Ne i ample, this year, in addition to the field surface, we have replaced some fences behind one end zone. This change allows people to move from one side to the other within the stadium, which had been a problem. As of press time, results of how Western faired on the new turf against Samford were unavailable. The new turf at Whitmire Stadium/Bob Waters Field debuted in time for homecoming weekend and the football game against Samford on Oct. 4. It is the first time the playing surface has been redone since 2000.

We knew Georgia com- ing into the meet was going to be tough with them being ranked in the top 15 in the rankings, WCU head coach Danny Williamson said. On the mens side our top six ran personal bests and you cant ask for much more. The women ran in the ) ; a more, finishing seventeenth. second race of the day, fol- lowing the 5k winds aroun i the front of the university campus.

Our top five womens runners ran personal bests today, he said. The compe- tition sets us up for success later this season in the South- ern Conference. The Catamounts partici- pated in the Greater Louis- ville Classic in Louisville, Kentucky on Oct. 4, but re- sults were unavailable as of press time.

Samford running back Chris Evans rushed for 166 yards on 34 carries and a touch- down and quarterback Dustin Taliaferro threw for two scores within a minute and 51 second span in the third quarter as the Bulldogs spoiled Western Caro- linas Homecoming on Saturday, Oct. 4 with a 21-6 win in front of 9,174 fans at E. J. Whitmire Sta- dium/Bob Waters Field. The loss - Westerns fifth- straight to Samford since 1969 - extended WCUs Southern Con- ference losing skid to 17-straight games, one shy of tying for the second-longest such streak in conference history. It was also Samfords first conference tri- umph since joining the SoCon this season and the Catamounts first loss on their new turf to move WCU to 2-4 on the sea- son, 0-2 in the Southern Confer- ence. BACK-TO-BACK TOURNAMENTS By Cory Spaugh Sports Writer After kicking off the sea- mount golf team took part in two national tournaments, the Raines Development Group Intercollegiate and the Ma- son Rudolph Championship. Western put in a strong effort in both tournaments, finish- ing thirteenth and eleventh respectively. In the Raines Intercolle- giate at the Country Club of South Carolina on Sept. 15, the Catamounts wanted to get off to a hot start and see low scores all weekend. Senior Andres Cuenca got off to a very fast start shoot- ing an opening round score of 68 to find himself in a tie for the lead. Freshmen Martin Summer also carded a strong first round score of 71 which put him in a tie for seven- teenth place. Entering the second round, Western stood in tenth place out of eighteen teams. The second round of play ran into a weather delay with only four teams having completed the second round of play. At the conclusion of the second round of play, Cuenca was holding a strong lead, but in the final round of play, he shot a 77 to slip to fifth. Ju- nior Drew Miller also placed, strongly finishing in forty- fifth place overall. T The Catamounts slipped one spot over the final two days of play and wound up in eleventh place in the eighteen team field. Looking to rebound from the Raines Development Group Intercollegiate, West- ern got off to a strong start in the Mason Rudolph Cham- pionship in Nashville, Ten- nessee on the first day of the tournament on Sept. 26. Sophomore Caleb Marsh kicked off the tourney by shooting a career best score at five under par with a 66. Marsh was one of two play- gon in Chattanooga, the @ata~ ers tied for the lead after the first round. The rest of the team also shot strong scores and were in contention ; the first day of play. Cueni and senior Dustin Furnari- shot scores of 74 and 75 re- spectively; and junior Ricky Stout shot a seventy-four. As a team on the first day of play, the Catamounts shot a score of 289, which was good enough to put them in eighth place heading into weekend play. On Saturday, Sept. 27, Marsh awoke looking to con- tinue his strong play and grab the outright lead, but unfortu- nately the course was not the same for Marsh as he shot a four over 75 and slipped to tenth place in the individual standings. Saturday brought another day of solid golf, however, from Cuenca and Stout. Stout shot the lowest score of the day with one over par at 72, while the rest of the team struggled on the second day, shooting a team score of 294. After two days of play the, Catamounts stood. in. thir- teenth place. On the final day of the Ma- son Rudolph, Stout scored the low round of the day for Western again, shooting an even par 71, which pulled him into a tie for twenty- third with fellow Catamount Marsh. Marsh continued his slide in the final round, shoot- ing a five over par 76 causing him to fall thirteen spots in the standings. Western shot a final day score of 297 which solidified their finish in the tournament in thirteenth place. The Catamounts partici- pated in the Mizuno Intercol- legiate in Savannah, Georgia on Oct. 6 and 7, but results of the event were unavailable as of press time. Western will return to action with a home contest, the Hummingbird In- tercollegiate at Country Club of Sapphire Valley on Nov. 3 and 4.
