The Catamount newcomers


GETTING TO KNOW KAREN MIDDLETON

GETTING TO KNOW HEAD COACH KAREN MIDDLETON

Why WCU?: It is a perfect FIT for me. Western has a special combination of academics and basketball. We can truly offer a student-athlete the total package. We have tremendous support from the administration. But what really separates us is the people. We have loyal fans and a family atmosphere within a safe community. Family is very important to me. It feels like home to me here and my family is only four hours away and able to visit and come support our team. The players make every single day enjoyable and that is what makes for a great experience.

What do you like most about Western Carolina?: The people. That is what makes a place really special. I felt it with the administration and the team. I love our staff, co-workers in the athletic department and team.

Describe this year’s team?: This year’s team is just so much fun

to be around. We have had a year of getting to know each other, learning new expectations, and you can really feel a difference. Everyone is on the When you are not on the court.... I enjoy working out, reading, same page, TRUST each other, and focused on the same goals. going to movies, spending time with my family, and traveling (IF POSWhy did you become a college coach?: I was given an oppor- SIBLE WITH OUR SCHEDULE). tunity by Coach Nancy Wilson when at South Carolina to become the restricted earnings coach after I received my undergraduate degree.

I enjoy teaching, the day to day with the players, and the level of competition. It is rewarding to know you are making a difference and Where did you learn the game?: My family is very athletic. My helping young women while coaching the game you have a passion for. brother taught me to shoot and was very instrumental in my development as a player. I have been fortunate to have played and worked for several very good coaches and teachers of the game: Laurie Roberts in high school, Nancy Wilson at South Carolina, Heidi VanDerveer at Eastern Washington, Tara VanDerveer at Stanford, and Jolette Law at Illinois. And I have a great staff at Western with Tre’ka McMillian, Jonelle Streed and Hillary Beck. We challenge each other and work hard to grow each year. Plus I watch game tapes and teaching videos constantly to learn and get better. You can ALWAYS learn something that will help your team.

What is the one snack you cannot live without?: It would have to be chips and salsa and a Diet Pepsi. But I really would have a hard time without Reese’s peanut butter cups too.

Why #22? After my second knee surgery in high school, I received a lot of negativity from those around me. People said I was going to be a step slow, that I was going to be less explosive, and that my game was going to go downhill. At that time I wore the number 11. The season after I fully recovered, I changed my number to #22 because I was determined to be twice as quick, twice as explosive, and twice as hungry as I was prior to my injury.

Tournament ... Earned First Team All-Conference honors as a junior and helped lead her team to a 26-2 record and a conference championship - averaging 13.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game.

HEAD COACH KAREN MIDDLETON 25

Jolette Law, Illinois Head Coach “The administrators at Western Carolina have a keen eye for talent and for selecting winners. Like the coaches who’ve come before her, Karen will quickly earn the respect of the players and fan base. Karen patiently waited for the right opportunity to return to the Carolinas, landing at Western is like a homecoming of sorts. Without a doubt I can say that Karen’s knowledge, experience and respect for how the game should be played is certain to keep Western Carolina at the top of the Southern Conference. Great hire!” Tara VanDerveer, Stanford Head Coach “Karen Middleton is very knowledgeable, hardworking and caring coach. Karen will be an exceptional mentor for her players. The women on the team will grow, improve and thoroughly enjoy playing for her. Karen will continue the outstanding tradition of women’s basketball excellence and will be a great representative of Western Carolina.” Debbie Antonelli, Women’s Basketball Analyst “Karen’s career path to becoming a head coach has been a diligent and detailed process. She has worked and prepared through each experience with some of the best coaches in the game. She will bring a well prepared game plan and will run a first-class program at Western Carolina.” Nancy Wilson, College of Charleston Head Coach “Karen is one of the nicest people and one of the most dedicated players that I have coached. Because of this I chose her to be on my staff at South Carolina when she was just out of college. I have followed her career with interest because I knew she had the traits to be one of the best. Western Carolina has made a great hire and I am thrilled that she is back in the south.”

points and 13 rebounds, to help lead Western Carolina women’s basketball, and new Head Coach Karen Middleton, to a 69-48 win over Tusculum in its lone exhibition game Saturday. The Catamounts dominated the first 10 minutes of the game outscoring Tusculum 24-6. The score was 8-6 with 14:11 left to play when WCU went on a 16-0 run to build its lead. A pair of lay-ups by freshman forward Richelle Price and a 4-of-5 performance at the free throw line, by the team, helped push the points for the Catamounts. Tusculum did battle back in the final 10 minutes of the half, as the team was nearly evenly matched in the points department. Western Carolina scored 13 points to close out the half and Tusculum had 12 to make the score 36-20 at the break. Up by 18 to start the second half, Western Carolina held Tusculum scoreless for the first three minutes. Heather Swayne’s bucket to start the final 20 minutes jump-started Western Carolina to build a 26 point lead with 17:11 remaining. The Catamounts also forced five Tusculum turnovers in that span. The scrappy Tusculum squad battled back and cut the Western Carolina lead to 19 twice, the second time at the 9:44 mark off a jumper by Catherine Hintz. Catamount senior guard Jessica Jackson answered by draining a three-pointer at the top of the key, her only three of the night, to push the lead back to 22. Western Carolina scored just nine points in the final seven minutes of the game while Tuscu-

lum scored 10. Overall, Western Carolina shot 36.5 percent from the field and was outrebounded 42 to 41 by Tusculum. The Catamounts went to the free throw line 23 times connecting on 19 for 82.6 percent.

Junior Emily Clarke added 12 points while Kaila’Shea Menendez and Richelle Price each had eight points.

RICHMOND, Va. - Western Carolina women’s basketball opened the 2009-10 campaign with a 65-42 loss at Richmond Friday at the Robbins Center. The Catamounts drop to 0-1 to start the Karen Middleton era while the Spiders open the season 1-0. The game began with both teams feeling each other out and doing a nip and tuck in the scoring department. Richmond built a 16-10 lead before the Catamounts scratched back within two points, going on an 8-2 run to pull within two points, 18-16. Junior guard Kendra Carroll’s fast break jumper, scoring two of her team-high 10 points, shaved the Spider lead to two. With 7:20 left in the first half, Western Carolina had a chance to tie the game when senior forward Kristen Feemster was fouled and earned a trip to the free throw line. Feemster missed both free throws and the ball went back to Richmond. The Spiders closed out the first half 15-3 run to build a 33-19 advantage at the half. Senior guard Jessica Jackson nailed a three-pointer to start the second half, but the Catamounts then went four minutes without scoring allowing Richmond scored seven un-answered points The Catamounts found themselves in hole and could never dig themselves out of it. Western Carolina shot 36.4 percent from the field and hit just one three-pointer. The Catamounts were also 9-of-16 from the free throw line. Richmond won the rebound advantage by one, 34-33. Feemster paced the club in rebounds with 10, which was also a game-high, and also added six points. Sophomore Kaila’Shea Menendez also added six points in the contest.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball completed its two-game road

swing with a 70-59 loss at East Carolina Sunday in Minges Coliseum. The Catamounts fall to 0-2 to start the season while ECU improves to 2-0. The first half was a struggle for Western Carolina, as the club found itself in a 15-point (31-16) deficit with 3 minutes left. A jumper by Emily Clarke with 2:41 remaining started a 10-4 run by the Catamounts to close out the first half. Back-to-back jumpers by junior Kendra Carroll in the final 30 seconds cut the Pirate lead to single-digits, 35-26, heading into the locker room. Western Carolina continued to chip away at the ECU lead to start the second half. With 11 minutes remaining, the Catamounts forced the first tie of the game, at 42, thanks to a lay-up by senior forward Kristen Feemster. ECU answered with a jumper by Ashley Clarke to re-take the lead, but WCU answered with a bucket off a jumper by its own Clarke to tie the game for the second time at 44. Kim Gay was fouled and hit one of two free throws to allow ECU to regain the lead and the Pirates never trailed again. The East Carolina advantage in scoring was just 16-15 in the final 10 minutes of the game for the Pirates. Western Carolina had 20 turnovers in the game and ECU got 26 points off the Catamounts miscues. The Catamounts also had 20 turnovers and lost the rebounding advantage 37-29. For the second consecutive game, junior guard Carroll paced the Catamounts scoring 16 points against ECU. She was one point shy of her career-high of 17 points in which she scored against Montana State in 2008-09. Carroll was one of three Catamounts to score in double figures. Fellow junior Emily Clarke added 12 points and sophomore Kailia’Shea Menendez had 10. Clarke also led the club in rebound with eight.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball Head Coach Karen Middleton

notched the first win over her career; and junior guard Kendra Carroll career poured in a careerhigh 18 points, in the Catamounts’ 71-65 victory over Wofford Friday in the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts improve to 1-2 on the season, but more importantly get their first Southern Conference win of the year, while the Terriers fall to 1-3 and 0-1 in the SoCon. Trailing by as much as seven points to start the first half, 13-6 with 16:01 left, the Catamounts were sparked with a three-pointer by junior Emily Clarke. It was the first of two three-pointers, the second by senior guard Jessica Jackson, opening up an 8-0 run and gave Western Carolina a one point lead 14-13, with 12:07 left. Knotted twice, Western Carolina took the lead for good on one of two free-throws by sophomore Brittany Ferguson - the club never trailed again. The Catamounts had its largest lead of the half, at 10 points, twice the second time off a jumper by Carroll. WCU went into the locker room up by eight points, 36-28, after a pair of free throws by Jackson. Western Carolina built its largest lead of the game, at 14 points, early in the second half when Carroll hit one of her two three-pointers. Overall, the Catamounts connected on a season-high seven three-pointers after being shut-out from behind the arch against East Carolina. With 3:09 left to play, Western Carolina led Wofford by 11, 65-54, when the Terriers went on a mini run. Wofford outscored the Catamounts 11-6 in the final three minutes to only drop the contest by six points. The Terriers trimmed the Catamount lead to single digits after Maddie Helms hit a three-pointer with 43 seconds left to make the score 68-61. Jackson was 3-of-4 from the free throw line to close out the game and keep the Terriers at bay. For the second straight game, Western Carolina had three players in double figures. Besides Carroll’s career-high of 18 points, Clarke posted a season-high 17 points and Jackson had a season-high 11. As a team, Western Carolina had a season-low 11 turnovers and our-rebounded Wofford 4136.

ANCHORAGE, Ak. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (1-3) dropped the opening game of

the Carrs/Safeway Great Alaska Shootout on Tuesday, with a 67-54 loss to Cincinnati (3-1). The Catamounts fall to the consolation round of the tournament, facing Coastal Carolina at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time Wednesday in Sullivan Arena. Sophomore guard Kaila’Shea Menendez tied her career-high with a game-leading 20 points coming off the bench. She was one of two Catamount players who scored in double figures, as junior Emily Clarke added 14 points. The Catamounts came out on fire, scoring nine un-answered points to start the game. Cincinnati answered with 11 uncontested points of its own to take a two-point lead. The fifth tie of the first half came with 2:44 remaining as the score was knotted at 19. Clarke drained a three-pointer to give Western Carolina the lead, but a jumper and a three pointer by the Bearcats gave the Bearcats a two point lead. Menendez quickly answered with a jumper of her own, forcing the sixth tie of the first half at 24. A pair of free throws by Cincinnati’s Stephanie Stevens gave the Bearcats a two point advantage, 26-24, at the half. The Catamounts continued to contest and push Cincinnati to start the second half. Senior forward Kristen Feemster hit a lay-up in the first 30 seconds for the seventh tie of the contest at 26. The Catamounts took its final lead of the game off a jumper by Clarke, to make the score 28-26. A three-pointer by Clarke with 16:26 remaining tied the game at 33, the eighth of the game. Roudebush answered for the Bearcats with a three-pointer of her own and Cincinnati never trailed again.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball returned home, from its two-game Alaskan road trip, to drop an 80-63 decision to James Madison Sunday in the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts fall to 1-5 while JMU improves to 4-0. Junior Emily Clarke led Western Carolina with a season-high 20 points, hitting all three of the team’s three-pointers in the game. It is the third straight game the Catamounts have had a player score 20 or more points, as sophomore Kaila’Shea Menendez had 20 and 21 points against Cincinnati and Coastal Carolina. The Catamounts led just one time in the game, a 6-4 advantage with 18:04 left in the first half. There was only two ties in the game, the second at six all, before the Dukes’ Tarik Hislop drained a three-pointer to make the score 9-6 - JMU never trailed again. James Madison inflated its lead to as much as 10, 20-10, with 11:44 left, before junior Kendra Carroll hit a jumper to cut the score to 20-12. Western Carolina kept the JMU lead in single digits the rest of the half, and even shaved the Dukes’ lead to three when Clarke nailed three-pointer with 10 minutes left. A lay-up by JMU’s Dawn Evans pushed the lead back to five. Western Carolina managed to cut the JMU back down to three late in the first half, 3:42, off a pair of free throws by Jessica Jackson. However, par for the game for James Madison, the Dukes had an answer thanks to a lay-up by Nikki Newman. The Catamounts trailed by five at the half, 34-29, thanks to a last second basket from Janae’ McKinney. Western Carolina kept the game close in the second half, four times cutting the JMU lead to just four points. James Madison pulled away thanks to a 10-2 run beginning at the 11:56 mark and built a 12 point advantage, 55-45, capped off by a jumper by Nichelle Glover.

The Catamounts only led once in the game, a 6-2 advantage with 14:54 left it he first half. The game was tied at seven with 12:28 left when the Wildcats went on a 5-0 run to build a 12-7 advantage. Western Carolina cut the Davidson lead to one point, 12-11, off a jumper by Kendra Carroll, but it proved the last field goal WCU would hit in a seven minute stretch. Davidson built as much as an 11 point lead before a pair of free throws by senior Jessica Jackson trimmed the least to nine, 27-18. A lay-up by Kailia’Shea Menendez with 2:05 left in the half was the first made bucket for Western Carolina since the 9:43 mark. Three times Davidson built a 13 point advantage in the second half, leading 51-38 with 10:43 left. Western Carolina went on a 10-1 run to cut the Wildcat lead to four with 5:58 left when Emily Clarke ripped down an offensive rebound and hit the put back, to make the score 52-48. Western Carolina had a chance to cut the lead two, when Clarke was fouled with 3:34 left, but she missed both free throws. The Catamounts did cut it back to four off a jumper by Carroll but Ashley Lax answered with a jumper of her own, to push the lead back to six. The Catamounts hit just seven field goals in the first half and shot 28 percent. For the game, Western Carolina was 19-of-60 for 31.7 percent. Western Carolina did win the rebounding battle, grabbing 45 boards as compared to Davidson’s 36. Western Carolina hit just 10-of-20 from the charity stripe.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (2-7) dropped a nail-biter with Charlotte (4-5) 64-62 Tuesday in Halton Arena. The Catamounts had a chance to tie the game, with 10.8 seconds left when Charlotte’s Kendria Holmes missed both of her free throws. Emily Clarke ripped down the rebound and passed it off to Jessica Jackson. Clarke had the ball as the final seconds ticked down but she was trapped in the back court and lofted up a desperation shot as time expired. Western Carolina proved to be road warriors against the 49ers even though the score didn’t reflect a win. The Catamounts were down by 11, 33-22, at the half and had just three made field goals in the final 10 minutes of the first 20 minutes. Charlotte reached its largest lead of the game, 13 points, twice and was up 37-24 with 17:55 left in the second half. Western Carolina exploded, going on a 21-5 run, in a seven minute span that gave WCU its first lead of the second half, 43-42 with 10:55 remaining. From there it was a nip-tuck game. Tied at 47, with 9:46 left, Western Carolina took a three-point advantage off a three-pointer by Clarke - it was the largest lead of the half for WCU. Western Carolina’s final lead of the game was one point off a jumper by Kaila’Shea Menendez to make it 56-55. With 2:48 left, Charlotte’s Ashley Spriggs hit a bucket to give the 49ers the lead for good. With 56 seconds remaining, Charlotte was up by five when Jessica Jackson maneuvered around the defenders for a lay-up, to cut it to two points. Shannon McCallum hit one of two free throws, with 32 seconds left, push the lead back to four for Charlotte. Clarke led all scorers with 19 points. Kendra Carroll and Menendez followed with 15 points a piece. Western Carolina was near perfection at the free throw line, hitting 12off-14.

CHARLESTON, S.C. - The game against Western Carolina (2-9, 1-2 SoCon) and College Charleston (8-3, 4-0 SoCon) was billed as a rematch, a grudge-match, a chance to look back at an epic battle. Though the score reflected a 68-61 win for the Cougars, what it really turned out to be was a coming out party for sophomore transfer Catilin Hollifield, who exploded for a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds Monday in the Carolina First Arena. Hollifield, who also had two blocks in the contest, was first off the bench after the first media time-out in the opening half, and scored her first points in a purple uniform at the 15:02 mark, posting up under the basket. She is a transfer from the University of Alabama, sitting out the first 10 games of the season due to the transfer rule, and made the most of her 24 minutes on the court as a Catamount. For the team as whole, Western Carolina came out banging and shooting for the first 20 minutes of the game. Catamount junior guard Emily Clarke scored 14 of her gameleading 19 points in the first half. Tied at eight with 12:42 left, Kailia’Shea Menenez, ending the game with 12 points, hit a lay-up and was fouled to give the Catamounts a three-point lead, 11-8. Western Carolina led the remainder of the first half and was up by five, 30-25 at the break. Up by seven points, after Heather Swayne hit a jumper to start the second half, Western Carolina watched its tenuous lead slip away as College of Charleston went on a 9-2 run to take the lead 34-32. Kristen Feemster hit a pair of free throws to tie the game at 34. Western Carolina continued to battle and took the lead one final time, 43-41 when Clarke hit a pair of free throws with 12:54 left. College of Charleston answered with a three-pointer by Brooke Kotcella to give the Cougars the lead for good.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Western Carolina women’s basketball fell to No. 11 Florida State 80-47 Wednesday at the Tucker Center. The Catamounts drop to 2-10 on the season while the Seminoles improve to 12-2. The Catamounts hit just five field goals in the first 10 plus minutes of the second half, with four of the five coming from junior Emily Clarke. Senior Kristen Feemster hit an open lay-up for the fifth field goal. Clarke and Kendra Carroll each scored in double figures in the game. Clarke finished the game with 19 points while Carroll added 10. Each have now led the team in scoring five times this season. Western Carolina had two early, and short-lived, leads in the first half against Florida State. Clarke’s jumper with 17:56 on the clock gave the Catamounts a 3-2 advantage and then Carroll’s bucket with 17:14 left afforded WCU with a 5-4 advantage. Tied at seven, Florida State’s Courtney Ward nailed a three-pointer to give the Seminoles the lead for good. Western Carolina went six minutes, 7:26 to 1:35, without a field goal - hitting 4-of-6 free throws in that span. The Catamount scoring drought was halted with a three-pointer by Jessica Jackson (1:35), the only trey hit by WCU in the first half. The Catamounts shot just 31.4 percent from the field and connected on 16 field goals. In contrast, FSU shot 48.2 percent from the field and hit 27 field goals. The Seminoles also connected on nine three-pointers, while the Catamounts just three treys two were made by Clarke.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Junior Emily Clarke lit up the court with a career-high 27 points to help lead Western Carolina women’s basketball to a 66-58 win over Furman (4-11, 2-4 SoCon) Saturday in the Ramsey Center. The Catamount victory over the Paladins halts a five-game losing streak, and evens Western Carolina’s Southern Conference record to 2-2, pushing its overall record to 3-10. Clarke has led Western Carolina in scoring in five of the last six games and also hit double figure scoring in five of the last six games. Her first five field goals in the game were three-pointers and she ended the contest with a career-high six three-pointers. Her nine total field goals were also a career-high. Western Carolina led by one point, 23-22, at halftime in the nip and tuck contest. With 4:04 left in the first half, the score was tied at 20 after Kaila’Shea Menendez hit a lay-up. Furman answered with a jumper by Susan Troutman to give the Paladin’s a twopoint advantage. A three-pointer by Jessica Jackson, with 1:09 left, gave the Catamounts a slim onepoint advantage headed into the locker room. Western Carolina shot just 32.1 percent from the field in the first half. In contrast to the first half, Western Carolina shot a scorching 54.5 percent from the field in the second half. The Catamounts went on a 12-3 run in the first seven minutes of the second half to build its largest lead of the game, eight points, to make the score 35-27. It was then time for Furman to go on a run of its own, answering with a 14-4 run to re-take the lead at 41-39 with 8:35 remaining. Clarke answered, as she did all game, nailing a three-pointer to give Western Carolina a one-point lead, 42-41, with 8:15 left. Although Furman cut Western Carolina’s lead to one point four more times, in a five minute span, the Paladin’s never led again.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball was nipped by rival Appalachian State 53-52 Monday in Southern Conference action in the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts fall to 3-11 and 2-3 in the SoCon while the Mountaineers improve to 7-6 and 3-2 in conference play. The Catamounts trailed for 38 plus minutes of the game until they took a one point lead with 1:23 left to play in the contest. Senior forward Kristen Feemster hit a lay-up and was fouled, but failed to convert on the three-point play, missing the free throw. Appalachian State’s Ashlen Dewart ripped down the rebound, and after a Mountaineer timeout, Dewart locked in the win for ASU by hitting a lay-up with nine seconds remaining. Western Carolina called a time-out with seven seconds left. Junior Kendra Carroll took the ball out under the Appalachian State basket, and after making a couple of passes, the ball ended back in the hands of Carroll, who went for a 15-foot jumper, but it hit the rim and bounced off as time expired. Shooting an anemic 14.7 percent from the field in the first half, Western Carolina scored its lowest first-half output of the season, 13 points, and trailed by 12 at halftime. Appalachian State led by as much as 15 points in the second half before Western Carolina made a run late in the final frame. The Mountaineers led by 10 points, 50-40, with 5:07 left when WCU went on a 12-1 run in a four minute span. The Catamounts made their push at the free throw line, going 6-of-7 from the charity stripe. The also hit three field goals, to take the 52-51 lead, before ASU scored the bucket at the end of the game and took the win. Defensively, Western Carolina had two players record double figure rebounds for the first time this season. Sophomore Caitlin Hollifield ripped down a career-high 13 rebounds to go along with nine points and career-high three blocks. Junior Emily Clarke added 10 rebounds and a career-high four steals.

GREENSBORO, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball dropped a 75-61 decision to UNC Greensboro Monday at Flemming Gym. The Catamounts fall to 3-13 and 2-5 in the Southern Conference while the Spartans improve to 6-9 and 3-4 in the SoCon. The Catamounts hung tough early in the first half and even clung to a one-point, 15-12, lead with 12:02 left in the first half. UNCG then proceeded to go on a 32-15 run in the final 10 minutes of the half to build a 14-point lead, 44-30, at the half. In the final five minutes of the half, Western Carolina hit just three field goals and was 5-of-6 from the free throw line. Western Carolina continued to struggle in the second half, but did get a spark late in the game from sophomore Brittany Ferguson. She scored eight of her career-high 12 points in the second half and was perfect from the field and the line (4-of-4 and 4-of-4). Junior Emily Clarke continued to be the scoring bright spot for Western Carolina as she led the club with 16 points and hit two of the Catamounts three treys in the game. Trailing by 14 at the half, Western Carolina did trim the Spartan lead to 10 with 16:02 left in the game. The Catamounts looked poised to cut into the UNCG score even more but the Spartan’s Amanda Leigh drained a three-pointer to push the lead back to 13, 51-38. UNC Greensboro hit nine three-pointers in the game and shot 41.8 percent from the field. Western Carolina did win the rebounding battle grabbing 42 to UNCG’s 38. The Catamount’s 61 points is the most points scored by Western Carolina in two games when the club defeated Furman 66-58.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. - With .09 seconds left on the clock, Chattanooga’s Shanara Hollinquest drained a pair of free throws to give the Mocs at 68-66 lead, dashing Western Carolina women’s basketball’s hopes of an upset in The McKenzie Arena Saturday. The Catamounts fall to 3-14 and 2-6 in the Southern Conference while the Mocs improve to 13-6 and 8-2. Emily Clarke was stellar on the court, leading all scorers with 22 points. It is the fourth time this season Clarke has scored 20 or more points and the ninth time in the last 10 games she has led the team in scoring. The noon game proved to be a wild and wooly shoot-out between the teams, as the game went back and forth, in scoring, more then a teeter-totter. With 7:08 left in the second half, Chattanooga built its largest lead of the game, seven points (60-53) after Jenaya Wade-Fray hit a lay-up. It looked like the Mocs had all the momentum, but Clarke started the Catamounts own wave of momentum when she drained a three-pointer to cut the Chattanooga lead to three, 60-56. The trey by Clarke started a 7-0 run by the Catamounts to tie the game at 60 with 5:54 left. Wade-Fray struck again to end the Chattanooga scoring drought and give the lead back to the Mocs 62-60. Clarke answered with a jumper for the seventh tie of the game with 5:10 left. Kendra Carroll drained a 15 foot jumper to give Western Carolina the lead, 64-62, with 4:31 left. The Catamounts built a four-point advantage, 66-62, when Caitlin Hollifield drained a pair of free throws. Chattanooga cut the Catamount lead to one point, 66-65 when Hollinquest hit a lay-up and was fouled, hitting her free throw.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Samford’s (13-6, 7-3 Southern Conference) 12 first-half three pointers buried Western Carolina women’s basketball (3-15, 2-7 SoCon) in a hole it couldn’t dig out of, as the Catamounts fell to the Bulldogs 80-65 Monday in the Pete Hanna Center. The Bulldogs built a 49-28 half-time advantage thanks to their deluge of threepointers. Samford’s first three field goals were three-pointers. Western Carolina proved it still had fight, as it outscored Samford 37-31 in the second half. To Western Carolina’s credit, the Catamounts clamped down on Samford, in the second half defensively, only allowing the Bulldogs one three-pointer in the final 20 minutes. Samford tied its biggest lead of the game, 23 points, in the first 20 seconds into the second half. The Catamounts continued to scrape and claw through the second half and cut the Samford lead to 11 points, with 3:12 remaining off a jumper by Emily Clarke. The Bulldogs kept Western Carolina at bay at the free throw line, hitting 10-of-12 free throws in the final three minutes of the game. Both clubs were scorching from the field as Samford hit 49 percent and Western Carolina hit 46.4 percent. Again, the glowing stat was the Bulldogs toasty (13-of-22) 59.1 percent from behind the three-point arch. Western Carolina got a huge spark, off the bench, from sophomore guard Kaila’Shea Menendez who poured in 16 points and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line. For the first time in four games, Clarke was held below double figures in scoring as she had nine points against the Bulldogs. All but one Catamount scored in the contest. Samford was led by Emily London who had 21 points in the contest.

DAVIDSON, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (3-16, 2-8 SoCon) dropped a 75-65 decision at Davidson (10-10, 7-4 SoCon) Monday, at the John M. Belk Arena. For the fifth time this season, junior Emily Clarke scored 20 or more points with a team-leading 22 points against the Wildcats. In the second half, when the team hit a combined 17 field goals, Clarke accounted for seven of them, including three threepointers, in the final 20 minutes. Western Carolina had to battle back from a 12 point deficit in the first half, 32-20, and only hitting just six field goals in the first frame. The Catamounts shot an anemic 22.2 percent in the first half but kept the game close thanks to hitting 7-of-12 from the charity stripe. Four times Davidson held its largest lead over the Catamounts, 17 points, holding that advantage for the last time with 11:03 remaining. Western Carolina began a 10-2 run, which began with a Clarke lay-up, to cut the Wildcat lead to nine, with 7:40 left. Sophomore Kaila’Shea Menendez hit a lay-up and was fouled, and had a chance to cut the Davidson lead to eight, but missed her free throw. The Wildcats pushed the lead back to double digits when Monica Laune answered on the other end with a jumper. With 4:08 left, Western Carolina again trimmed the Wildcat lead to single digits, 6254, off pair of free throws by Caitlin Hollifield. Again Laune had an answer, nailing a three-pointer to push the Davidson lead back to 11. A Hollifield lay-up cut the game to nine, 65-56, with 1:55 remaining but Kristen Johnson hit 1-of-2 free throws to push it back to 10 points. In the final 33 seconds of the game, senior guard Jessica Jackson hit back-to-backback three-pointers and then proceeded to foul Wildcat guard Alex Thompson. All three times, Thompson was perfect at the line and ended the game 10-of-10 from the free throw line.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Braving the elements of a winter storm that hit the area Friday night, Western Carolina women’s basketball and Georgia Southern squared off in the Ramsey Center Saturday. The Eagles (12-9, 7-5 SoCon) snowed over the Catamounts (3-17, 2-9 SoCon) with a 74-61 victory. Trailing by 11 at the half, 32-21, Western Carolina weathered a 19 point Georgia Southern advantage to cut the Eagles’ lead to seven, 53-46, with 9:28 left in the game. Western Carolina chipped away at the GSU lead thanks to a 13-2 run that started with an Emily Clarke three-pointer and a pair of back-to-back jumpers by Kailia’Shea Menendez. Georgia Southern halted the Western Carolina run four straight visits to the free throw line and going 6-for-6. Western Carolina trimmed the lead to double digits three more times but the Eagles always had an answer. In the final 1:15 of the game, with the GSU lead at seven, Georgia Southern was 9-of-10 from the charity stripe to keep the Catamounts at bay. Western Carolina was lead by Menendez who had 15 points, scoring nine of those points in the second half. Clarke followed with 13, hitting three of the team’s four threepointers in the game. Georgia Southern shot 45.8 percent in the game with the Catamounts hitting 38.2. The Eagles outrebounded by seven, 37-30.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - With 5.6 seconds left, and down by three points to College of Charleston (17-6, 11-3 SoCon) on Monday, Western Carolina women’s basketball (3-18, 2-10 SoCon) had the ball in the hands of its leading scorer, Emily Clarke. She launched a three-point shot that would have tied the game, at 74, but the shot hit the rim and bounced off as time expired. It was another in a long line of tight losses for the Catamounts, falling 74-71 to the Cougars. Western Carolina got its last-second chance shot when College of Charleston’s Brooke Kotcella attempted to inbound the ball, under the Catamounts’ basket, and threw the ball out of bounds. Catamount Head Coach Karen Middleton called time out and ran a play to put the ball in the hands of Clarke, who ended the game with a game-leading 21 points. The Catamounts were down by nine points, with 1:13 left in the game, and it looked like College of Charleston would cruise to the win. Western Carolina made the game interesting down the stretch when Caitlin Hollifield was fouled and drained both free throws and then Clarke came back to hit a three-pointer, to make the score 65-69 with 49 seconds left. Down by six, with six seconds left, Hollifield hit a lay-up to cut the lead to four. The Cougars coughed up the ball and Clarke was fouled to put her at the line, hitting 1-of-2 to set up the final play of the game by the Catamounts. The Catamounts mixed up their line-up again, as redshirt-freshman Janae’ McKinney picked up the first start of her career. She responded with a career-high 13 points and six rebounds, all on the offensive end.

STATESBORO, Ga. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (3-19, 2-11 SoCon) fell to Georgia Southern (13-9, 8-5 SoCon) 62-48 Wednesday at Hanner Fieldhouse. The Catamounts clung to a 25-24 lead at the half, after trailing by as much as 11 in the first 20 minutes. Down by eight with 4:38 left in the half, back-to-back three pointers by Western Carolina’s Emily Clarke trimmed the Georgia Southern lead to two points. Janae’ McKinney hit an old fashioned three point play, nailing a jumper and hitting a free throw after being fouled, to give WCU a one point advantage at the half. Twice Western Carolina led by three points in the second half, and held a one point advantage, 33-32, with 13:46 left. The Eagles’ Krista Tate hit a jumper with 12:46 to give Georgia Southern its first lead of the second half and GSU never trailed in the contest again.

The Eagles built its largest lead of the game, 17 points, with 1:06 left. Western Carolina hit the final three points of the game when Jessica Jackson made a lay-up and was fouled, draining her free throw with 19 seconds left.

For the second time in as many games, she hit double figures, with 11 points, and also had five rebounds and committed one turnover.

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball picked up its first road win of the season with a 6939 win over Furman Saturday at Timmons Arena. The Catamounts improve to 4-19 and 3-11 in the Southern Conference while the Paladins fall to 6-18 and 4-11 in the SoCon. The Catamounts held Furman to 39 points, the lowest scoring output of the season for a Western Carolina opponent. The Paladins’ 28 percent from the field was also a season-low for a Catamount foe. Seniors Heather Swayne and Kristen Feemster came off the bench to spark the Catamounts in the contest. The duo was part of a 40 point effort from the Western Carolina bench. Swayne led all scorers with a season-high 15 points and was 3-for-3 from behind the three point arch. Feemster recorded her first double double of the season with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Furman scored the first field goal of the game, and then took a 4-3 lead off a field goal by Lakyn Ledford. With 16:13 on the clock, Western Carolina took over with Feemster’s first field goal of the game gave the Catamounts a 5-4 advantage. Western Carolina never trailed in the contest again. Western Carolina proceeded to go on a 16-7 run to build a 10-point advantage, 21-11, with 9:05 left, capped off by a three-pointer by Swayne. Furman hit just two field goals in the final nine plus minutes of the first half with their last bucket coming with 5:26 left off a jumper by Kendra Berry. The Catamounts used Furman’s scoring woes to build a 30-17 advantage at the half. Furman hit just seven field goals in the first half and equaled that total in the second half. In the first five minutes of the second half, the Catamounts held the Paladins to just one field goal, a jumper by Ledford. Back-to-back lay-ups by Emily Clarke and a trey by Swayne pushed the Catamount lead to 20 points. A pair of free throws by Feemster allowed Western Carolina to push its lead to 22 points with 15:07 remaining. After Furman’s Ayanna Randolph hit a field goal, at the 14:53 mark, Western Carolina kept Furman from scoring a bucket for five minutes before Berry hit a jumper with 10:26 left to make the score 46-22. In the final 10 minutes Western Carolina outscored Furman 23-17 for the 30 points win. The 30 point margin of victory was the largest of the season for Western Carolina. The Catamounts shot 52 percent from the field, a season high for the club. The club also got 26 points in the paint and 14 points off the 13 Furman turnovers.

BOONE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (4-20, 3-12 Southern Conference) was swept in its series with Appalachian State (14-9, 10-4 SoCon) with a 73-59 loss to the Mountaineers Monday in the Holmes Center. Senior Kristen Feemster scored a career-high 17 points in the game, scoring 12 of her 17 points in the first half. She was one of three Catamounts to score in double figures with Caitlin Hollifield adding 14 points and Kendra Carroll pouring in 13. Down by four points at the half, 39-34, Western Carolina dug itself in a hole when it didn’t score a field goal in the first six and a half minutes of the second half. Appalachian State used the Catamount’s scoring woes to build a 52-37 advantage before Hollifield hit a field goal with 13:49 left. The Mountaineers built a 15 point lead, 54-39, with 12:41 left before Western Carolina went on a 6-0 run to cut the Appalachian State lead to nine, 54-45 with 10:35 left. It was one of four times the Catamounts cut the Appalachian State lead to single digits in the final 20 minutes. Western Carolina got to within seven points of Appalachian State twice, the last time off a pair of free throws by Hollifield with 4:03 left. The Mountaineers pulled away hitting 11-of-12 from the free throw line in the final 2:54 of the game. Appalachian State built a nine point lead, 19-10, early in the first half before Western Carolina went on a 10-0 run. The Catamounts took the lead off a pair of free throws by Carroll at the 8:56 minute mark. Western Carolina went up by three, 22-19 off a Hollifield bucket, before the Mountaineers ended their five minute scoring drought with a field goal by Ashlen Dewart to make it 22-21.

Western Carolina answered with back-to-back layups by Hollifield and Menendez to push the Catamount lead to 10, 37-27, at the half. In the second half, Elon scored the first field goal of the second 20 minutes, to cut the lead to eight, and didn’t hit another bucket for the next 10 minutes of the game. In that span, Western Carolina went on a 16-6 run to build a 20-point advantage, 53-33. A pair of field goals by Hollifield and a three-pointer by Emily Clarke helped push the lead to 20. Clarke was the third player to score in double figures for the Catamounts with 13 points. All 10 Western Carolina players saw action and got into the scoring column.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball won its second straight game with

a 57-42 win over UNC Greensboro Tuesday in the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts improve to 6-20 and 5-12 in the Southern Conference while the Spartans fall to 7-18 and 4-13 in the SoCon. Junior guard Kendra led the Catamounts in scoring with a game-high 16 points against UNC Greensboro. She was 7-of-14 from the field and 2-of-3 from the free throw line. Leading 27-19 at the half, Western Carolina built as much as an 11 point lead in the first three minutes of the second half. UNC Greensboro scored four unanswered points to cut the Catamount advantage to seven off a pair of free throws by the Spartans’ Lakiah Hyson. Kaila’Shea Menendez’s performance at the free throw line halted UNC Greensboro’s scoring spurt. She sliced to the bucket in three straight possessions, earning a free pass to the free throw line and going 6-for-6. Menendez was near perfection in the game at the free throw line, hitting a career-high 11-of-12 from the charity stripe ending the game with 13 points. The Catamounts hovered at a nine to 11 point lead for the next five minutes. Western Carolina took a double-figure advantage for good when Heather Swayne hit a jumper with 8:48 left to make the score 45-34. With 7:45 left, Western Carolina tied its largest lead of the game, 15 points, when Menendez hit two free throws to make it 49-34. In the final six plus minutes of the game, UNC Greensboro only hit two field goals. The Spartans built its largest lead of the game, 10-7, with 11:51, left off a jumper by Sarah Folwell - it would be UNC Greensboro’s last field goal for the next 10 minutes of the contest. A jumper by Kendra Carroll and a three-point bucket by Emily Clarke tied the game at 10. Western Carolina took the lead, for good it would turn out, off a pair of free throws by Clarke, who

ended the game with 11 points. Clarke’s free throws for the lead started a 15-0 run by Western Carolina to build a 27-12 advan-

tage with 1:54 left. The Spartans’ Hyson hit a lay-up to end the UNCG scoring drought and they scored the last seven points of the half, to trail by eight, 27-19, at the half.

CULLWOHEE, N.C. - Sophomore Caitlin Hollifield scored 22 of Western Carolina women’s basketball’s (6-21, 5-13 SoCon) 42 points in the Catamount’s 53-42 loss to Samford (20-8, 14-5 SoCon) on Senior Day Saturday. It was also Western Carolina’s annual Pink Zone Game. Hollifield’s 22 points was a career-high for the forward from Knoxville, Tennessee. It was the second time in three games she has bested her career-high, as she had then career mark of 19 points against Elon on February 13. She scored 10 of her points from the free throw line, hitting a career-high 10 free throws, scoring 10 of her 22 points in the second half. After giving up 12 three-pointers to Samford, and a total of 13 for the game, in the two clubs first meeting in Samford, on January 18, 2010, the Catamounts held the Bulldogs to a seasonallow four three pointers in Saturday’s meeting. The Bulldogs did not hit a three pointer in the first half, hitting all four in the final 20 minutes. It was a tight contest in the first six minutes of the first half, and Western Carolina pulled ahead for a three-point lead off a lay-up by Hollifield. Back-to-back buckets by the Bulldogs’ Savannah Hill gave Samford a one-point lead, 10-9, with 12:14 left. Western Carolina took its last lead of the game when senior Jessica Jackson hit three-pointer for an 11-10 Catamount advantage. Samford took the lead for good when Hannah Dawson hit a lay-up to make the score 12-11 Bulldogs. In the final 10 minutes of the first half, Western Carolina hit just two field goals, both by Hollifield. Samford outscored the Catamounts in that span 14-8. Trailing 26-19 at the half, Hollifield alone got the Catamounts within two points of the Bulldogs in the first minute of the second half. She opened the second 20 minutes with a jumper in the first two minutes and then proceeded to block a shot by the Bulldog’s Dawson and grabbing the rebound. Hollifield came down on Western Carolina’s end of the court, hit a bucket, was fouled and hit her freebie at the charity stripe, to cut the Samford lead to two points, 26-24. The two-point deficit would be the closest Western Carolina would get again in the game, as Samford proceeded to reel off 10 straight points to build a 36-26 lead in the next five minutes. In the second half, Western Carolina scored just four points in the paint and didn’t have any points from players coming off the bench.

CULLOWHEE, N.C. - Western Carolina women’s basketball (7-21, 6-13 SoCon) played spoiler to

Chattanooga (20-8, 15-4 SoCon), as the Lady Mocs were looking to lock in an outright claim to the Southern Conference regular season title, Monday in the Ramsey Center. The Catamounts shocked Chattanooga with a 51-49 win, in overtime, in Western Carolina’s final home game of the season. The Catamounts had to hold off Chattanooga, in the final seconds of overtime, leading by two points. The Lady Mocs had the ball with 10 seconds remaining, but Jenaya Wade-Fray, who had hit both field goals for Chattanooga in overtime, missed a jumper as time expired. Chattanooga’s Shanara Hollinquest missed a jumper, with one second remaining, that would have given the Lady Mocs a win in regulation, with the score tied at 42. It was Hollinquest that hit a field goal, and was fouled, to tie the game at 42 with 48 seconds left. In the Catamount’s first overtime game of the season, the Catamounts took the lead in the first 30 seconds when junior Emily Clarke hit a jumper to go up 44-42. Western Carolina kept Chattanooga at bay at the free throw line, in overtime, going 6-of-8 from the charity stripe. The Catamounts also got a huge boast from sophomore Kaila’Shea Menendez who hit a monster three-pointer, tipping the rim and rolling in, to give the Catamounts a 49-45 advantage with 2:39 left. Scoring was a premium in the first 20 minutes of the game.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Number 8 seed Western Carolina women’s basketball (7-23) ended its season on Thursday, with a 57-55 loss to No. 9 seed UNC Greensboro (1019) Thursday in the first round of the Southern Conference Tournament in Bojangles Coliseum. Trailing by two with eight seconds remaining, senior Jessica Jackson launched a three-pointer for the win, but it went wide and the Spartans ripped down the rebound. Western Carolina tied the game, 1:13 left, when sophomore guard Kaila’Shea Menendez drove in for a lay-up and was fouled. Down by one point, 5554, Menendez drained the free throw to tie the game at 55. UNC Greenboro missed a bucket and Western Carolina had a chance to take the lead, with less then 20 seconds, but Caitlin Hollifield missed a field goal and on the ensuing rebound attempt she fouled the Spartan’ Lakiah Hyson. With 18 seconds remaing, Hyson connected on both free throws to give UNCG the 57-55 lead and eventual win. Western Carolina trailed by 10, 30-20, at the half. In the second 20 minutes of the game, the Catamounts were down by as much as 13, 45-32, with 11:26 left. The Catamounts went on a 10-2 run, capped off by a lay-up by TT Belcher, to cut the Spartans lead to five, 47-42, with 7:14 remaining. Down by three, 47-44, with 5:24 left, UNCG pushed it back to five, 51-46, off a jumper by Monique Floyd. The Catamounts got clutch free throws by Menendez and a bucket by Emily Clarke to stay in the game and give themselves a chance to win or tie the game in the closing seconds. Clarke led the game with 20 points and was 7-of-14 from the field. She was followed by Menendez who finished the game with 12 points. After hitting just 32 percent from the field in the first half, Western Carolina hit a scorching 45.2 percent in the second half, to end the game with 39.3 percent. The Catamounts also got 26 of their points from the pain and 12 points from the bench.

TEMPLATE LISTON B. RAMSEY CENTER 63

Western Carolina women’s basketball team will play its 21st season in the Liston B. Ramsey Regional Activity Center this year. The team had the distinction of playing the first official basketball game in the Ramsey Center when they hosted Mars Hill College on December 4, 1986. The inaugural men’s / women’s doubleheader in the Ramsey Center followed two days later, December 6, when WCU’s women hosted Coastal Carolina before the men’s team hosted North Carolina State. The event attracted a standing-room-only crowd of 8,114. The Ramsey Center was completed in April 1986 and is the largest facility of its type west of Charlotte, N.C. It contains 205,000 square feet of usable space and was built at a cost of $16.3 million. In addition to housing the athletic department’s administrative offices, coaches’ offices, team locker rooms, and meeting facilities, it also contains an auxiliary gymnasium, handball and racquetball courts, a communications center, a firing range and weight rooms. The Lady Catamount’s moved into their new locker room facilities (pictured below) prior to the start of practice for the 2005-06 season. The Ramsey Center was designed to accommodate cultural, entertainment, recreational, and athletic events and can seat up to 8,556 for major concerts. During its first 11 years of operation, nearly 1.5 million people attended activities in the facility. The past several years have demonstrated the facility’s flexibility as it has hosted a rodeo, numerous theatrical performances, a Broadway musical, graduation ceremonies, Mountain Heritage Day festivities, and musical concerts from such contemporary acts as the Charlie Daniels Band, Jars of Clay, Blessed Union of Souls, Tracy Byrd, Terri Clark, Aerosmith, Tim McGraw, and the Allman Brothers Band. The facility also serves as Western Carolina’s home competition venue for volleyball and men’s and women’s basketball teams. The building was named for Liston B. Ramsey, former Speaker of the North Carolina House of Representatives and longtime representative of the 52nd House District that includes Haywood, Madison, Swain, Graham and Jackson counties. Women’s basketball moved into a new locker room facility prior to the start of 2005-06 practices. The new locker room includes wooden lockers, new carpeting, radio/CD player sound system, and a separate team video room, with terraced flooring for a stadium-type seating effect.

CHANCELLOR

Dr. John W. Bardo Western Carolina University Chancellor

During his 14 years as Western Carolina University’s chancellor, Dr. John W. Bardo has propelled Western into the national spotlight as a university that is preparing students to face the challenges of the 21st century. Since becoming the 10th chief executive officer in Western’s history, Dr. Bardo has been a driving force in the University’s growing status across North Carolina and the nation as a leader in the application of the tools of technology to teaching and learning. During his decade of leadership, student enrollment has soared 21.8 percent, the average SAT scores of entering freshmen have risen by 62 points and student retention rates are higher than ever. At Dr. Bardo’s suggestion, the university community agreed to require incoming freshmen to have networkable computers, and in 1997 Western became the first institution in the University of North Carolina system to adopt that requirement, and is now moving to increase wireless networking capabilities on campus. Similarly, it was at Dr. Bardo’s urging that Western established a residential Honors College, the first in the UNC system. The Honors College, which began in 1997 with about 70 students, now enrolls more than 900 high-achieving students who welcome the challenge of advanced academic classes and competition for national and international scholarships. More recently, Dr. Bardo has emphasized the importance of service learning, which encourages faculty and staff to incorporate service to the community in many forms as a part of students’ academic experiences at Western. A native of Cincinnati, Ohio, Dr. Bardo also has engineered a university wide effort to “raise the bar” of academic standards at Western. Faculty members have increased their expectations of student performance, and students are rising to meet those expectations. That emphasis on increased academic quality is earning the attention of some of North Carolina’s brightest young scholars, increasing the number of National Merit finalists and high school valedictorians interested in Western. Under Dr. Bardo’s leadership, the university has increasingly turned its attention toward reaching out to the citizens of Western North Carolina and promoting economic development as a means of improving the quality of life for the area’s residents. Western’s new $8 million Center for Applied Technology is designed to address critical labor force issues facing the region by providing educational programs that will support emerging high-tech, “new economy” industries. Recently developed programs include undergraduate and graduate degrees in entrepreneurship, a degree in construction management, and approval for joint programs in electrical and computer engineering with Charlotte. In addition, the university has formed strategic partnerships with several regional universities in the fields of biotechnology, bioinformatics and micro-optics. As construction is completed on Western’s new “signature” building, a $30 million Fine and Performing Arts Center, the university has taken numerous steps to boost heritage and cultural tourism in the mountain region, including the establishment of a new performance series of music and art. Prior to his appointment at WCU, Dr. Bardo had been vice president for academic affairs at Bridgewater State College in Massachusetts since 1990. He assumed the dual role of provost of the public institution in 1993. Like Western Carolina, Bridgewater State was

founded in the 19th century as a normal school for the training of teachers and today is a state-supported regional, comprehensive institution. Before moving to Massachusetts, Dr. Bardo held senior administrative posts at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, serving as assistant to the president for planning and as provost and vice president for academic affairs. A sociologist, he had previously accumulated a decade of teaching and administrative experience at Southwest Texas State University and Wichita State University. Dr. Bardo graduated from the University of Cincinnati in 1970 with a degree in economics. He holds a master’s degree in sociology from Ohio University, and earned a doctorate in the field from The Ohio State University. A graduate of the Institute for Educational Management at Harvard University, he also has been a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at Monash University in Australia and a guest visiting professor at the University College of Wales at Swansea. He has written extensively and lectured widely on urban and community sociology, higher education, organizational behavior, economic development, quantitative methods, and the educational applications of technology. Dr. Bardo is currently serving a four-term term of service on the NCAA’s Minority Opportunities and Interests Committee. The 12-member committee is charged with conducting reviews of issues related to the interests of ethnic minority student-athletes, NCAA minority programs and NCAA policies that affect ethnic minorities. In fall 2004, Dr. Bardo was appointed to serve one year as chairman of the committee on economic and work force development for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities. The committee, composed of presidents and chancellors of AASCU member institutions, is one of six established by the association’s board of directors to advance its work in the arena of public higher education. Dr. Bardo and his wife, Deborah, have one son, Christopher.

Chip Smith

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR 69

Western Carolina University Director of Athletics Western Carolina Chancellor Dr. John W. Bardo announced on August 23, 2004 the selection of Chip Smith as the Catamounts’ Director of Athletics. His first year on the job at Western was an eventful one as Western’s football team won the Old Mountain Jug with a 30-27 victory over Appalachian State in the fall of 2004, the Lady Catamount basketball team won the 2005 Southern Conference tournament championship and the WCU soccer team won the 2005 SoCon tournament title. In the spring, Western hosted the 2005 SoCon Outdoor Track & Field Championships, which was lauded for its organization and atmosphere. In 2006-07 under Smith’s watch, Western won the Women’s Golf Tournament, a share of the Women’s Basketball regular season title, Men’s Outdoor Track & Field Championship, and a share of the Baseball regular season title before garnering an at large bid to the NCAA Field of 64, advancing to the Chapel Hill Regional Final. Most recently, the men’s golf team garnered its first-ever, at-large bid to the NCAA Championship tournament while the track & field teams took three of the four titles. In addition to overseeing the start of a new program (softball and the construction of the program’s new stadium), Smith laid the foundation for the success of three sports, hiring head coaches for men’s basketball, volleyball and soccer during 2005. A review of Western Carolina’s 2005-06 athletic year shows that foundation was solid. In addition to winning Southern Conference championships in soccer, men’s indoor track & field, men’s outdoor track & field and softball, Western played for a share of the SoCon title in football, falling to eventual national champion Appalachian State in the final regular-season game, and the Catamount baseball team was the only school in the nation to have non-conference road wins over two 2006 College World Series teams (Clemson and Georgia). WCU student-athletes earned a league-best 118 All-SoCon honors on the field, not including numerous SoCon academic honors and four SoCon Coach of the Year selections. Off the field, in addition to accumulating 1,537 hours of community service, Catamount student-athletes have posted a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.01 for their careers. Smith came to Western after two years as athletics director at Morehead State. He additionally was director of athletics at Eastern Kentucky University, as well as holding positions in the athletics departments at Virginia Military Institute, UNC Charlotte and University of North Carolina. A native of Greensboro who grew up in Siler City, Smith earned his bachelor’s degree in education at North Carolina in 1978, where he played football for four years under legendary coach Bill Dooley. He earned his master’s degree in athletics administration at North Carolina in 1989. He began his career in athletics as a high school teacher and coach, first at Hickory High School and then at Garinger High School in Charlotte. He worked as ticket manager for the Durham Bulls baseball club before joining the Educational Foundation Inc., at North Carolina in 1983 as assistant to the executive director of the athletics fund-raising organization also known as the Rams Club. Smith was a member of the athletics department administration at UNC Charlotte from 1984 though 1991, first as business and ticket manager, then as assistant athletic director for development. He joined the staff of Southern Conference member VMI in 1991 as assistant athletics director, advancing to associate athletics director. He joined the administration at Eastern Kentucky University in 1999, rising to the position

of director of athletics in 2001. He has served as director of athletics at Morehead State since August 2002. Smith is married to the former Gale Thompson, who swam collegiately at North Carolina. They have two children; daughter Chesley (23), who is a 2009 graduate of UNC Greensboro, and a son, Cort (19), who graduated from Smoky Mountain High School.

WCU HOME OF STUDENT-ATHLETES

W estern C arolina U ni v ersity . . . A Home of TrUe Student-Athletes

Western Carolina University is committed to helping its student-athletes both on and off the playing field. WCU treasures its outstanding academic reputation and is equally proud of the tradition of its athletic teams. Realizing the important role that sport plays in the lives of our studentathletes, the Office of Academic Support Services for Student-Athletes, in conjunction with the Office of Academic Advising assist student-athletes with managing their athletic demands without sacrificing their academic careers. WCU Department of Athletics has always understood the primacy of academics and maintains a close working relationship with both offices of academic support. The Office of Academic Support Services for Student-Athletes reports to the Athletic Director and is committed to: (1) Ensuring that each student-athlete at WCU continues to make academic progress towards graduation as well as maintaining athletic eligibility; (2) Ensuring that every student-athlete be provided the necessary resources needed to be academically successful; (3) Striving to assist each student-athlete with reaching their fullest potential as young adults in achieving their career and life goals. The Academic Support Services staff is responsible for monitoring the academic progress and class attendance of all student-athletes and coordinating the Academic Enhancement Program. The Academic Enhancement Program (AEP) offers academic resources to its studentathletes to give them the best opportunity for continued success in the classroom. All first semester freshmen and transfers and are required to participate in the program. Catamount student-athletes are provided with tutorial services and educational and career workshops. In conjunction with AEP, the Catamount football team also employs the Academic Game Plan (AGP), which includes each first-year, and all at risk football student-athletes. The program includes organizing daily activities such as reading, tests and quizzes into a notebook that aids in managing time and prioritizing academic responsibilities. In addition, coaches, serving as mentors, hold detailed, hour-long meetings with the student-athletes included in AGP on a daily basis to monitor progress and to stay involved. The Office of Academic Advising is part of a larger academic support program known as the Office of Advising and Retention Services which has a fundamental responsibility for enhancing the educational experience for all students. All freshmen student-athletes are advised by a specific academic advisor through enrollment in USI 130, Academic and Career Planning, a one-hour elective course. Through this course, students learn about WCU academic programs and policies, NCAA academic regulations, gain a better understanding of the meaning of higher education, learn more about themselves, and make new friends. All student-athletes are advised by the athletic advisor until they formally declare a major. Exemplifying their commitment to academic excellence and emphasis across the department is apparent in the increasing number of student-athletes recognized for scholastic merit. For the 2004-05 year, 112 WCU student-athletes qualified for the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll, which honors student-athletes who have participated in at least one sport and have earned a 3.0 or better grade point average during the past academic year. In 2007-08, a school-record

143 Western Carolina student-athletes were named to the SoCon Academic Honor Roll. WCU also possessed four student-athletes who posted a 4.0 grade point average for the entire school year. In 2008-09, between the three seasons in which academic accolades are handed out by the SoCon office – fall, winter and spring – Western Carolina boasted a league-high 80 Academic All-Conference team selections including 24 in the fall, 23 in the winter and 33 this spring. Back in 2007-08, WCU led the conference with 81 student-athletes recognized across the three seasons – 25 in the fall, 22 in the winter and 34 in the Spring. Western also had a conference-leading 11 SoCon Student-Athlete of the Week honors a year ago. Since 2000, Western has produced five Academic All-America selections including Ryan Schade (baseball in 2002); Jason Whaley (football in 2003); Yoneko Allen (women’s basketball in 2004); Tyler Sexton (baseball in 2006, ‘07); and Brooke Johnson (women’s basketball in 2008, ‘09). Whaley was also the recipient of an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship from the National Football Foundation. During that same span, a trio of Catamounts (Allen, Emre Atsur, and Rans Brempong) have been recipients of the Southern Conference’s Mike Wood Postgraduate Scholarship, while track athlete Tonya Edmunds was one of 32 NCAA student-athletes to be awarded a postgraduate scholarship through its Ethnic Minority and Women’s Enhancement Postgraduate Scholarship Programs for 2005-06. In 2006, Emily Pierce (women’s soccer) was awarded the SoCon’s David Knight Graduate Scholarship and the WCU soccer team was recognized by the NCAA as the team ranked among the sport’s top 10 percent in Academic Progress Rate (APR). Off the field for the 2008-09 academic year, in addition to accumulating 3,800 hours of community service, Catamount student-athletes posted a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.01 for their careers. Bolstering that GPA were a combined 34, 4.0 GPA’s in the Fall of 2008 and Spring of 2009 semesters and a combined total of 202 Dean’s List honors between the two semesters.

Jason Whaley, the recipient of an $18,000 postggraduate scholarship, was a two-time All-SoCon selection along the offensive line, an All-American honoree and Academic All-America. He was additionally a four-time WCU Male Student-Athlete of the Year, ending his career with a 3.918 GPA.


TEMPLATE DID YOU KNOW? 71 wcu - did you know...? • The Western Carolina women’s basketball team was the Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (CIAW) National Runner-Up in the 1968-69 season and finished fourth the following year in the tournament. • In 1971, Western Carolina hosted the National Women’s Intercollegiate Basketball Tournament in Reid Gymnasium. WCU also hosted an Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Southern Region II Tournament in 1975-76, making a total of three apperances in the AIAW tournament, which was the predecessor of the NCAA for women’s collegiate athletics. • The all-time leading scorer in Western Carolina women’s basketball history is Jayne Arledge – she is the niece of the late Roone Arledge, a pioneer in the field of televison journalism and creator of Monday Night Football, 20/20, and Nightline. • Western’s Ronnie Carr made the first 3-point basket in NCAA history. To mark the event, during both of ESPN2’s college basketball games on November 29, 2004 the network featured Carr, who sank that first 3-pointer on Nov. 29, 1980. The 2005-06 season marks the 25th anniversary of the historic shot which has revolutionized the game of basketball. Carr’s historic shot came in Western’s 77-70 victory over Middle Tennessee State and the ball he used is on display at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass. The shot was made from the left corner of Reid Gym — Western’s facility at the time — with 16:09 left in the first half (7:06 pm). Ironically, Carr wore number 22 and the 3-point arc that first year was 22 feet, instead of the now 19-feet, nine-inches. Carr had the number 22 his freshman season and the 3-point shot did not debut until his sophomore year. Another interesting side note, while Carr made the first 3-pointer in NCAA history, Western Carolina actually played a game one day prior (Nov. 28), defeating the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, 88-77, in Atlanta. However, Carr’s historic shot had to wait one until the following day since the Southern Conference was the only league sanctioned by the NCAA to use the 3-point shot. Carr only took 39 3-pointers during the 1980-81 season, making 15 and earning first team All-Southern Conference honors. As a junior the following year, Carr only took 11 treys, making eight. However, the 1981-82 season, which would be his final year at Western, Carr still led the SoCon in scoring and earned first team All-SoCon honors for a second time. While Carr did not utilize the 3-point shot much, Western led the SoCon in 3-pointers made and attempted during the four-year NCAA/SoCon experiment, making 182-of-450 treys (.404) over the time span. Carr would not be able to play his senior year after having a serious car accident prior to the season’s start. However, Carr served as a student assistant coach that season and would go on to receive “Most Courageous Athlete” award, given by the United States Basketball Writers Association. Despite the accident, Carr was still selected in the 10th round of the NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks. • Western Carolina was the first predominately white university or college in the South to recruit and sign African-American athletes. Western’s Henry Logan, the basketball program’s all-time leader in points (3,290) and assists (1,037), was the first to break the color barrier in the South, starting his career in 1964-65. In the fall of 1965, Western’s Keith Elliott became the first African-American football player in the South to break the color barrier. • Western Carolina boasts several former student-athletes now playing at the professional level: NBA (Kevin Martin with Sacramento - pictured); NFL (Brad Hoover with Carolina - pictured, three-time Super Bowl winner, David Patten, now with Washington; International basketball (David Berghoefer, Corey Muirhead; Frankie King; Rans Brempong).

SOUTHERN CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS 2005 / 2009



The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.
