Golfers complete fall swing in Lawton By Mike Gustafson

Sports Writer The UCO Golf Team completed the fall season last week with a second place finish at the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Tournament in Lawton, Okla.. Broncho stand-out Dax Johnston, junior transfer from Oklahoma University, completed the tournament with a 212 overall score, tying him, with Texas Wesleyan's Rob Lang to bring the match to a playoff. "On the second playoff hole I made a 35-foot birdie putt, but he (Lang) made a 25-foot putt to tie me," said Johnston. "Then he edged me out by one stoke in the fourth playoff hole." Since coming to UCO, Johnston has bettered his stroke average from 75.4 to 72.3. Johnson credits part of this change to UCO golf coach and athletic director, Skip Wagnon. "I'm very happy where I'm at," said Johnston. "Coach Wagnon is great. He is fun to be around and cares a lot about the team." The UCO golf team, ranked

number five in the NCAA Division II standings, finished the five fall season's tournaments, 2nd, 6th, 1st, tied for 3rd and 2nd. "We've had some very good showings this fall," said Wagnon. "We have a strong nucleus with Dax Johnston, Dustin York and Jason Freeman. Those guys are all really good players." Now that the fall season is behind the Bronchos, the team is looking forward to the spring golf season. "We did pretty well in the fall," said Wagnon. "In the upcoming spring season we should be a top contender in every tournament we play in." The players are looking forward to the spring season as well with the addition of another Oklahoma State' University transfer, David Dawley. "We have a guy transferring in from OSU which will be a great addition to the team," said Johnston. "As long as we keep firing on all cylinders there's no reason why we can't go to the national championship."

UCO preps for LSC play By Scott Moore

Sports Writer The 1995 season has been hard on the Lady Broncho volleyball squad, but Friday and Saturday they closed out the regular season by finishing up strong. Friday at Stephenville, Texas the Lady Bronchos swept Tarleton State 15-9, 15-10, 15-12 before outlasting Texas A&MKingsville Saturday 10-15, 15-9, 7-15, 15-8, 15-11 at Kingsville, Texas. The victories improve UCO's record to 16-19 overall and 8-8 in the Lone Star Conference. The Lady Bronchos finish tied for fifth in the conference but will be seeded sixth for the LSC

tournament, which the Lady Bronchos will host Nov. 9-11. The Bronchos will face thirdseeded East Texas State at Noon Friday, Nov. 10 at Hamilton Field House. Thursday at Commerce, Texas, UCO lost to East Texas St. 15-10, 15-5, 10-15, 15-12. "We played hard but lost a close one at East Texas St.," said UCO head coach Mark Herrin. "It's tough to win on the road but we turned it around and won two road games against Texas A&MKingsville and Tarleton State. "Those were big wins for this team. It would have been easy for us to get down on ourselves after we lost (starting senior middle blocker) Natalie Salmans for the season (Due to an ankle

injury). Our kids responded and showed that they can be competitive and win key games." Herrin said he used a lineup change against Kingsville that helped in the Lady Bronchos two victories. Kate O'Neill was moved from the right side to the center, while Arwin Shneider was moved from her back row defensive position to the right side. "I felt that we weren't getting enough production from the middle and I felt like we needed a change," said Herrin. "Also, this might throw a curve at the competition trying to prepare for us in the tournament."
