(0. Glover explained, TI want our team to be known for its tenacity in all aspects of the game. I want to be the team that will never give up! The Lady Catamounts are a very young team this year with only two seniors and one junior - player. They have added four new players to the roster this year: a middle, two setters and one defensive specialist. We are still young, but I think we bring back a core of players that understand what it takes to be successful in the Southern Con- ference, said Glover, enthusiastic about the season. Although putting the team first is the coaches main focus, individual players have many successes. Caitlin -Piechota and Jordan. Timmermann were named to the Southern Conference All Fresh- man team from last sea- son. Abbey Scroggins _. and Morgan Cochran, . the team captains for the Lady Catamounts, are expected by coaches _ to develop and exploit their leadership abili- ties. Other Lady Cata- mounts to look out for are Leah Butler, Addy George and Nicole Ford. Freshmen Cally Pfeiffer and Christina Nazario will take over as setters. Glover has added, ~ two assistant coaches . to help her lead the Lady Cats to a winning season, Nicole McCoy and Jamie Stancliff.

With a revamped coaching staff, new players ready to excel and a winning attitude, ' the Lady Catamount team is looking forward to an exciting season. They kicked-off their 2012 campaign by host- ing the WCU Invitation- al on Aug. 24. said. As coaches we believe this schedule will prepare us to be successful in our league with some very good opponents on the road. The Catamounts host _ Albany in its home- opener on Aug. 31. Western Carolina will . travel to ETSU on Sept. 7 before hosting Ten- nessee Tech on Sept. 9. After taking 2011 off from hosting a home tournament, Western Carolina will again Cat- amount Classic Tourna- ment on Sept. 14 and 16. Campbell, UL Lafayette. and Gardner-Webb will . be participants in the tournament with WCU facing Gardner-Webb on Friday and Campbell on Sunday. After the Catamount Classic Tournament, Western Carolina kicks-off Southern Con- ference play hosting Elon on Sept. 21. The Catamounts will also welcome Davidson, Georgia Southern, Col- lege of Charleston and The Citadel to Cullo- whee. The Southern Con- ference is a very chal- lenging and demanding league, Miller said. It continues to get more competitive every year, and to be honest, the pack is very tight and every minute of every - game matters. The first round of the 2012 Southern Confer- ence Championships will be played at the higher seeds facility on Oct. 28 with the semi- finals and finals being played at UNCG on Nov. 2-4. The top eight finish- ers earn a seed in the SoCon Championships. We are excited about - next fall and look to hopefully build on our experience from last year and stay healthy, Miller said. If we can do that, I think we will have a very exciting 2012 season.
