August 20, 2009 WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 2 SPORS A Look at the 2009 Lady Catamount Soccer Team By Jada Bratton Sports Editor * A pair of in-season tournaments including one at home, road trips to two Southeastern Conference powers and an 11-match conference slate highlight the 2009 womens soccer schedule for the defending Southern Conference Champion Western Carolina Catamounts, released today by head coach Tammy DeCesare. Four teams, including the opponent in the pre- season scrimmage, all advanced to the NCAA tournament a season ago. Every year we try and compile a schedule that is challenging outside of our conference slate to better prepare our team to make a run at the league championship, I feel that this years non-conference schedule is the most challenging since my arrival, said DeCesare, who is entering her fifth season in Cullowhee. We have built upon the schedule from last season and I believe that the challenges and level _of play we will face early in the year will best prepare us. After reporting to campus in, Western will receive a true test in its lone preseason exhibition scrimmage in the middle of the month. The Catamounts will host the Charlotte 49ers, which finished ranked 25th nationally and sixth in the southeast region according to Soccer Buzz Magazine, at the Catamount Athletic | Complex ~ (CAC) on August. 18. WCU will remain at home to open the 09 season hosting both Gardner-Webb (Aug. 21) and East Tennessee State (Aug. 28) on consecutive Fridays before taking to the road for the first-time on Sunday, Aug. 30. The Catamounts will travel down 1-26 to Columbia, .C., to face the South Carolina Gamecocks, who fell victim a season ago in the WCU programs first-ever victory over a nationally- ranked squad. USC concluded last season ranked just ahead of Western in the Southeast region rankings in 13th. Four of the seven scheduled matches in September - all coming in succession and all following three-straight on the road - will be played at the friendly confines of the Catamount Athletic Complex in Cullowhee. Western will take part in a four- team set tournament in Miami By Jada Bratton Sports Editor The Campus Recreation Center of Western Carolina University, which is located beside the University Center, will have plenty to offer students, faculty, and staff this fall semester. The center houses various physical fitness programs including Intramurals, Group Xercise, Personal Training, and Club Sports.

EY as the final 11 contests of the season will all be in league play. The home slate includes visits from Davidson (Sept. 25) and Georgia Southern (Sept. 27) before hosting defending regular-season. champion, UNC Greensboro, for a special Thursday night match on Oct. 8. UNCG was ranked 10th in the final Soccer Buzz Southeast region rankings. Additional home matches include visits from the College of Charleston (Oct. 16) and The Citadel (Oct. 18) for Senior Day amidst Homecoming 2009 festivities before closing the regular season against arch-rival, Appalachian State on Friday, Oct. 80s The Catamounts will travel totwo of the teams it downed en route to the 2008 tournament championship, visiting Samford on Oct. 2 and Elon on Oct. 11. Additional league road stops include Chattanooga (Oct. 4), Furman (Oct. 23) and Wofford (Oct. 25). The Southern Conference Womens Soccer Championship will take a new look in 2009 as only the top four teams from the regular season finish will advance to post-season play. The top seed will reserve the right, if the facility permits, to host the other three qualifiers on their home field. There are realistically six-or- seven teams that could potentially contend for the top spot in the conference this year. Keeping that in mind, plus the smaller field vying for post-season play makes every match vital, said DeCesare. Add in the home-field advantage reward for winning the title during the regular season and this is perhaps going to be the most competitive season in SoCon womens soccer in a while. Western Carolina, which was ranked 58th out of the 64 teams that qualified for last years NCAA tournament - which was narrowed down from 318 NCAA Division-I programs across the nation, returns 18 letter winners and nine starters from a year ago when the Catamounts finished second in the SoCon and won the conference tournament, Among the top returning players are nine seniors, including first- team All-SoCon selection Shanna Schmoker, and junior goal keeper Caitlin Williams, the 2008 MVP.. WCU returns both of its leading scorers from a balance attack last season as both senior Bri. Cunningham and sophomore Kayla Beauduy, who was named to the inaugural All-Freshman team a season ago, are back along the front. line. With the talent and experience that we are returning to the field this season, | am hopeful that we will be able to show steady performances against every opponent. Our focus is to create a standard of play that we will perform at regardless the level of our opponent, concluded DeCesare. Golf Teams Look Forward to Up Season By Brandon Schafer WC Intern Coaches Gorham Bradley and Steve Lott of the men and womens golf teams (respectively) have released their teams 2009-2010 play schedule. Both teams will play in 11 tournaments throughout this fall and spring semester. Coach Gorham Bradley posted the mens schedule On July 23. The schedule is divided into five events in the fall and six in the spring, including the Southern Conference Championship, which WCU finished 3" in last season. WCU will host the Hummingbird Intercollegiate at Sapphire Valley in November. This will be the fifth year that the team has hosted an event at Sapphire Valley. Steve Lott released the womens schedule on June 17. The WCU women will also be playing in 11 events over two semesters, with five in the fall and six in the spring. The Southern Conference Championship, which the women placed6"inlastseason, willbe played in mid-April. Lott is optimistic about the teams prospects this year. The entire team returns, he says. Everybody stayed, nobody left. Lastseason the team finished with a 110-58 record, which Lott called the teams fourth best record ever. Lott hopes to build on that success. Last year we started two freshmen, three sophomores and a junior. This year were starting three seniors, one junior (who spent the summer playing in Sweden), and three sophomores returning...1 dont think we have any weaknesses, and for the first time ever, we have a lot of depth, said Lott. The women are set to host two events and co-host one. The team will be sole hosts of the Great Smoky Intercollegiate and the Mimosa Hills Intercollegiate, and will co-host the Low Country Intercollegiate with Wofford. The Great Smoky Intercollegiate will be played at the Waynesville Inn Golf Resort and Spa in Waynesville, N.C. This will mark the 11th year the women have hosted an event there. The mens first event will be the Raines Development Group Intercollegiate on September 13. It will be hosted by FMU. The women begin a week earlier on September 6. They will play at the Draper Valley Intercollegiate, hosted by Appalachian State. coming | i i & i: i j
