Volleyball team wins 2
The UNCA volleyball team
visited Augusta, Ga. on Sat
urday and returned with two
hard fought wins. The Bull
dogs knocked off conference
foe Augusta College in the
first match 3-1. Mercer Uni
versity fell next by a 3-0
count.
The Bulldogs warmed up
for their match at 12 p.m.,
only to wait until 3:20 p.m.
to play. The officials were
late in arriving. "We played
really well," said Volleyball
Coach Suzanne Patterson.
'Especially after we had to
sit around and wait to play."
Augusta pushed the Lady
Bulldogs in the first game
before falling 16-14. UNCA
lost game two 7-15. The
Bulldogs recovered to win the
next two games 15-13 and
15-8.
"We hit really well," said
Patterson. "Kim Wieters
played well off the bench.
She served six straight points
in game four to get us going
again. Our serving was the
difference in the match," said
Patterson.
The Lady Bulldogs took the
match with Mercer in an
easy fashion, winning 15-4
15-2, 15-10.
"We played a very good
fundamental match against
Mercer," said Patterson. "We
played our tempo and main
tained our game. We didn’t
go down to their level of
play."
On Thursday at 6 p.m. the
Lady Bulldogs will host Rad
ford University. This is a
conference match which
coach Patterson feels is im
portant.
"Radford finished second in
the conference last year,"
said Patterson. "They beat us
twice last year. This year we
have a shot to beat them."

the game at goal and played
very well," he added.
It is definitely an easier
part of our schedule," said
Head Coach Hank Komodow-
ski. "We’ve had excellent
efforts against tougher oppo
nents, now, with that same
effort, we can get some wins
to show for it," said Komo-
dowski.
On Wednesday the Bulldogs
traveled to Swarmanoa to
take on local rival Warren
Wilson. The Bulldogs took
this one by a score of 4-1.
Junior Mike Nielsen got
the Bulldogs off to a good
start as he scored two goals
midway through the first half

However, only one minute
later, Warren Wilson’s Carlos
Benavente scored to cut the
margin to 2-L

minutes remaining in the
first, junior Mark Magee
answered the Warren Wilson
challenge by scoring to put
UNCA up 3-0 at intermission.
Magee then put the game
out of reach by scoring his
second goal of the game and
fifth of the year with 15
minutes remaining to close
out the scoring.
"This was a fine win," said
Komodowski. "We played very
well the first half. Now we
have to concentrate on Bap
tist this Saturday. It’s a big
game for us."
The Bulldogs game against
conference foe Baptist is
important in that the Bull
dogs need to win two of
their t^ree remaining confer
ence games to get into the
playoffs. If we win the Bap
tist game, we could get a
conference berth," said Kom
odowski.
