Women’s soccer team loses 2
By Donna Hudgins
Staff Writer
The UNCA women’s soccer
team dropped two matches
over the weekend, as they
lost 9-0 at Radford and 10-0
to Villanova. However, Head
Soccer Coach Ivan G)hen can
see the light at the end of
the tunnel.
"I know that 9-0 sounds
like a huge defeat, but last
year Radford beat us 22-0,"
said Cohen. "We’re reducing
the deficit quicker than
Gramm-Rudman. Radford is
the only other school in our
conference with a women’s
soccer program. A sort of
rivalry is growing," he said.
Team captain April Dawn
Stocker agrees v^dth Cohen’s
assessment. "This time was a
big improvement over last
year at Radford. It looks like
we’re playing more as a var
sity team rather than a
bunch of girls running .around
on the field," said Stocker.
Senior Chrystal Cline be
lieves the team is beginning
to play up to its potential.
"We were aggressive against
Radford, yet we played more
of a controlled game than we
have in the past," said Cline.
"I asked for 90 minutes
against Radford like the first
45 minutes we played against
Berry, and I got it," said
Cohen. "I was very pleased."
Injuries hurt the Bulldogs
chances against Villanova.
"We were unlucky. Radford’s
field is one of the few that’s
worse than ours as far as
bumps and such,” said Cohen.
Women’s tennis team
improves to 3-1
By Geoff Cabe

The UNCA women’s tennis
team continued its fall season
this week by wiiming two
more matches and raising its
record to 3-1 overall.
On Friday, the Lady Bull
dogs traveled to Jefferson
City, Tenn. to take on Car-
son-Newman College. UNCA
took this one by a 6-3 score.
UNCA number two seed
Jenee Cross, fifth seed Stacy
Carter and sixth seed CancU
Earwood each won their
matches in straight sets.
Third seed Shaimon Burns
was extended to three sets
before eventually winning 6-
0, 1-6, 6-2.
In doubles action, the
teams of Burns-Leigh Ann
Caldwell and Earwood-Shipe
gathered 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 and 6-
4, 6-0 victories, respectively.
UNCA Head Coach Ron
Lague pointed out that the
UNCA depth was the key to
the victory. "They were a
tough team at the top," he
said. 'Their number one from
France was real good," he
said, referring to Carson
Newman’s Pat Rouchan.
The Lady Bulldogs contin
ued* their winning ways
against East Tennessee State
on Satxirday as they came
away with another 6-3 win.
"It was a good win for the
women," said Lague. "Any
time you play a school that
has 12,000 Idds, it’s a good
win."
In singles action, Cross,
Burns and Carter all won
their respective matches in
straight sets. Caldwell was
extended to three sets before
coming away with a 4-6, 6-2,
6-1 victory.
The doubles teams of
Burns-Caldwell and Earwood-
Christine Nichols gathered 6-
0, 6-1 and 6-2, 6-4 victories
to insure the UNCA win.
"Add to that the fact that
we played two tough matches
back—to—back and injuries
resulted."
The Bulldogs lost four
players to injuries, however,
no one will miss any action
this week.
The worst part of the
schedule is over for the lady
Bulldogs. The hardest part of
the schedule came with
games against Emory, Berry,
Radford, and Villanova on
the road.
"It will be nice to play at
home for a change," said
Stocker. On Thursday UNCA
plays at home against Guil
ford College at 4:30 p.m. The
Bulldogs play at Warren Wil
son College on Saturday at
3:30 p.m. and return home
Wednesday to play Elon.

UNCA wins first conference game
The UNCA men’s soccer
team saw its record go to 2-
8 overall this week as they
split a pair of games.
On Saturday the Bulldogs
won their first conference
game of the season as they
downed Augusta College 2-0.
Both UNCA goals came off
the foot of junior Mark Ma
gee. It was Magee’s second
and third goals of the sea
son. He was assisted on the
scores by junior Mike Eich-
ner and freshman Aaron
Glugover.
To make the conference
playoffs, UNCA needs to wir
two of its three remaining
conference games. At leas!
one of those games will havt
to be won on the road.
On Wednesday the Bulldogs
traveled to Durham, N.C. to
take on defending NCAA na
tional champion Duke Uni
versity.
UNCA ended up on the
short end of an 8-0 score.
Duke outshot the Bulldogs
31-10.
"When they had a chance
to score they did, and the
few times we had chances we
didn’t," said UNCA Head
Coach Hank Komodowski.
