team's captain, and Kim Sowell.
The team also has six new players added
to the list. These players are Michelle Mor
ton, Satina Waites, Tricia Bone, Kazumi
Egusa, Britt Kuski, and Joely White. Joely
was signed last Spring to play on scholar
ship.

very inexperienced right now, with the ex
ception of the returning players from last
year."I’m not sure what the competition

The tough and scrapping Lady Tor
nadoes have been playing well lately, but
they haven’t gotten the rewards they so
surely deserve.
On Thursday, Jan. 12, Brevard challeng
ed the Lady Eagles of Reinhardt College.
Although the game was tough and well-
played by the Lady Tornadoes, the women
fell to the claws of the Lady Eagles 53-69.
Katie Trexler paced the Lady “T’s” with
18 points, five rebounds and six assists.
Daphanie Bousum controlled the boards
with eight defensive rebounds and four of
fensive rebounds for a total of 12 rebounds
for the game.
The Lady Tornadoes were supposed to
have traveled to Walter’s State in Mor
ristown, Tenn., on Saturday, Jan. 14, but
the trip was cancelled due to poor road
conditions. Decisions have been made that
this game will not be made up.
On Tuesday, Jan. 17, the Lady Tor
nadoes hit the road to play the region rival
Lady Trojans of Anderson College. The
Lady Trojans, who have received votes for
the NJCAA top 20 in the nation, defeated
our Tornadoes 86-41. Coach Tom Radford
said that the girls had a good first half but
relaxed after halftime.
Katie Trexler led the Lady Tornadoes
with 10 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Second behind Trexler was Tonja
Barksdale with 8 points and 5 rebounds.
Jennifer Presnell added 5 points and Jen
nifer Burger, Daphanie Bousum, and Tina
Welch added four points a piece. Coach
Radford said in order for the team to be
victorious, “We’ve got to execute our of
fense better.”
The next home games for the Lady Tor
nadoes will be Friday, Jan. 3, against War
ren Wilson College and Saturday, Jan. 4,
against Chowan.

Indoor soccer at BC
by K aisan Riissi
('liirii)n Reporter
Soccer? At this time of year? But of
course! For many people indoor soccer is
a more enjoyable sport than outdoor soc
cer. “Fast-paced and intense, indoor soc
cer requires much more skill and control
than outdoor. Although the indoor court is
much smaller, it can still be as physically
demanding as outdoor due to continuous
play” Michelle Morton (Mimo) says. In
door, unlike outdoor soccer, is more in
volved. In indoor soccer, the court is much
smaller then the outdoor filed. Each half of
the game lasts a total fo five minutes. In a
team of about eleven or twelve players, on
ly five actually participate at a time. This
gives all of the players a chance to play
and rest. Except for the goalie, Kristi
Foote. “It takes a lot of skill, especially for
goalie; one mistake would cost you,” she
adds.
Since the Lady Tornadoes did not do so
well at outdoor soccer, this may be their
chance to show what they know. Coach
David Taylor agrees and explains,
“Because of the size, I think we’ll do better
at indoor.”
Unfortunately there will be only two
tournaments this season. The first will be
held at Warren Wilson, on Feb. 3rd and
4th. Twelve teams will be attending this
tournament. The second tournament will
be hosted by Brevard on Feb. 17th and
18th. 16 teams have been invited from
states surrounding North Carolina, such as
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
These tournaments will be for both the
men and women teams. Such schools as
Warren Wilson, Lees-McRae, ASU club
team, the Asheville club team, and Duke
will be attending the home tournament.
The admission is free.
