Photo Submitted Bulldogs Too Much for Catamounts to Handle By Cory Spaugh Sports Writer Coming off a last second win against the College of Charleston, Western Carolina was looking to continue their winning ways against The Citadel on Saturday, Feb. 7. The Catamounts hosted the Citadel in the second part of a double header, which saw the Lady Catamounts take care of rival Appalachian State in the first game. The game against The Citadel was an important matchup for the Catamounts in the standings, as they were looking to continue their 6 game home winning streak. Western Carolina played hard and put up a strong fight, but in the end, the Bulldogs proved to be too much for the Cats to handle. The Citadel got a career performance from Demetrius Nelson who poured in 29 points and pulled down nine rebounds for the Bulldogs. Fifteen of Nelsons points came from the free throw line. The Bulldogs also got a strong performance from Cameron Wells who contributed 15 points and Austin Dahn who added 10 points. The. Catamounts got strong performances from some unlikely sources when Adrian Gailliard scored 13 points coming off the bench for the Catamounts. The other two Catamounts who posted double figure scoring efforts were Richie Gordon and Brandon Giles; they added 12 and 11 respectively. For Gordon, this performance marked the second straight double digit scoring game but this one was a challenge as he was in early foul trouble and only played 18 minutes in the game. Three other Catamounts, Harouna Mutombo, Jake Robinson, and Brigham Waginger, finished just short of double figures with eight points apiece. The Catamounts were able to stay in the game and take a slim lead in the second half but the Bulldogs came back. In the last four minutes of play, the Catamounts could only close the deficit to within one point before the Bulldogs pulled away. After the Cats had closed the score to 61-60, the Bulldogs drained two consecutive three pointers to expand the lead to seven. Western was outscored from the free-throw line 41-14 in the game and compounded by Westerns shooting struggles, were able to pull away from the Catamounts from the line down the stretch. Besides being outscored from the charity stripe, the Catamounts were also outrebounded 39-31, only thesecond time that Western had been beaten on the boards by a team bi as the Ramsey center. Despite the loss, Western was able to take some consolation in the fact they were still tied for first place in the Northern Division in Southern Conference play. If they had grabbed a win against the Bulldogs, Western would have moved into first place in the division by themselves; however, after the loss they needed help from Furman to remain atop the division. Earlier in the day Furman knocked off Chattanooga 72-70 on the Mocs home court. The losses by the Mocs and the Catamounts ensured that the team would remain tied for first place for a little while longer. Western was 12-11, 7-6 in the. SoCon, as of press time. the team within Catamounts Come Back to Knock Off By Jada Bratton Sports Writer The Western Carolina mens basketball team fought hard to come back and defeat the Col- lege of Charleston 70-68 in the Ramsey Center on Thursday, Feb. 2. With an early lead shortly taken away by Charleston and'15 min- utes left in the first half, the Cata- mounts would not see the lead again until late in the second half. The Catamounts were propelled by sophomore Richie Gordon who led the team in scoring with 22 points. Gordon was able to bring utumbo goes up to dunk the ball. He scored 14 points in the win against the College of Charleston. st Ee aioe hare : riot Photo by Danielle Lightner fore the close of the second half, but team fouls and a three pointer by Charlestons Donovan Monroe: took the deficit to 33-37 at halftime. A quick steal by Western Caro- linas Brigham Waginger in the opening minutes of the second half, though, led to an easy basket for Brandon Giles, and the Cata- mounts were within two points again, 35-37. Following the play, the Cougars came back with an answer to expand the lead with a three pointer from Dustin Scott. The Catamounts found them- selves down by as many as seven points, | ay with Bae of the sec- i peat : College of Charleston Gordon pushed his team back in the running for a win. Exciting the crowd with two back-to-back . Slam dunks, Gordon seemed to have started the ignition for the team to fight hard until the end. By the 6:15 mark, Wagin- ger scored a three-point shot that tied the game 62-62. The Cata- mounts had not seen the score tied since early in the first half, and the team was determined to take the lead. Gordon scored again giving the team an advantage of 64-63 with 5:25 left in the game. After a few more lead changes and another tie of 65-65, the Catamounts were trying to find it in themselves to take the final lead. The opportu- nity came for the team in the fourth quarter when Richie Gordon pulled down a rebound and was fouled on his way to the basket. Gordon made one of two foul shots and scored again off a pass from a blocked shot by Adrian Gilliard. Western Caroli- na took the lead 68-65, but the Cou- gars quickly answered with a three- pointer by Andrew Goudelcok. With less than two minutes of play remaining, the Catamounts had an answer of their own as Waginger scrambled to take the ball away from the Cougars, which led to Gordons winning lay-up to seal the win at 70-68. The team received outstand- ing teamwork and double-digit scoring in the win from four start- ers with Giles and Waginger add- ing 10 points each and Harouna Mutumbo with 14, The Charles- ton Cougars were led by Andrew Goudelocks 18 points and two other players in double figures. We came looking for a good start and a good lead, but it didnt happen, said Gordon, who alone scored seven of the last eight points for the Catamounts.

By Jada Bratton Sports Writer The Western Carolina womens basketball team could not come from behind on Wednesday, Feb. 3 to beat Clemson in their final non- conference contest of the season, falling 73-64 in the Ramsey Center. Western Carolina struggled early as it lost the inside presence of key player Brooke Johnson, who picked up two quick fouls in the first three minutes of the game. The Lady Catamounts played the remainder of the first half without Johnson, who ended the game playing just eight minutes and was held score- less for the first time this season. The Lady Catamounts were down by as much as 12 points twice in the first half, trailing 27- . 15 with 7:08 left. The Tigers kept the Lady Catamounts on their toes, as the officials allowed both teams to get away some physical con- tact: Western Carolina went on an 11-4 run in the final seven minutes to trail by five, 31-26, at the half. Despite their aggressive defense, the Lady Catamounts couldnt seem to find a way to chip away at the Clemson lead in the second half. Whenever the Lady Catamounts would hit a basket that would keep them in the game, the Tigers would answer with a basket of their own. Western Carolina came within five points after a strong pivot and turnaround shot by Kendra Ea- ton to make the score 35-30 with nearly 17 minutes left in the half. However, the Tigers seemed to have an answer every time the Lady Cats came too close to taking the lead. Trailing by 13 with 4:09 left, Western Carolina looked to be gain- ing momentum when it went on a five point swing. Eaton hit a lay-up, . Kristen Feemster picked up a defen- sive rebound and Powell drained a three-pointer from the right side to cut the Tiger lead to eight, 59-51. The Lady Catamounts came within six points again with less than three minutes of play, but an intentional foul against the team gave the Tigers the edge they needed to take the win. Western Carolina shot 36.8 percent from the field and gave up 20 points to Clem- son off 18 turnovers. Clemsons bench also scored 26 points. Senior guard Lauren Pow- ell led in scoring with 20 points, which became the second time in three games that she has scored 20 or more points. Powell moves into 10th place in the Catamount record books for scoring with 1,259. She also hit the 200 mark in made three-pointers in her career. Fellow senior Kendra Eaton notched her first double-double of the season, and the second of her ca- reer, with 15 points and 11 rebounds. ' She was 6-of-9 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free throw line. Two other Western Carolina players scored in double figures in the game as well. Sophomore Emily Clarke had 12 points, and fellow sophomore Ken- dra Carroll added 10 points. Clemson was led by LeLe Hardy, who had a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
