Lady Cavaliers
by Jonathan Bennett
On Monday night at McAlister
Gym, the Cavalier volleyball team
fell to Milligan College.
It was the first regular season
home match for the Lady Cavaliers
and proved to be a difficult defeat.
Milligan took the first game
15-4, but the Cavs scrambled back
in the second game and pulled off a
15-13 win.
However, Milligan took the
next two 15-8 and 15-9 to close out
the match.
Stephanie Cone led the Lady
Cavaliers in kills with 15 followed
by Middle Hitter, Gail

put-aways, including a nasty, cross
court spike in the third game which
blistered the Milligan defense.
Christi Waddell and Jenny
Douthit led the team in digs with
But, since neither candidate
has been at M-AC for two se
mesters, the position will be
filled at a later date.
In response to the decision,

two semester rule should be
changed. I love M-AC, and I
have no intentions of
leaving ever. Viva M-AC."
Finally, Aaron Gilchrist
was selected to be the honor
court representative.

In analyzing the key to the
game, Coach Darin Chaplain stated,
"We didn't pass the ball well and we
made too many mistakes. Our ef
fort was good, but Milligan took
advantage of our mistakes.
"Milligan College passed the
ball exceptionally well which en
abled their setter to pick and choose
her spots on the court and therefore
resulted in easy kill opportunities
for Milligan."
Rogers commented, "We played a
lot better than we did last week but
we're still not playing like we can.
" I think we can go a long way
this season if we learn to play con
sistently."
Chaplain also added, "This
team is head and shoulders above
any team we've ever had. But every
team in the conference has gotten
better as well. There are no easy
matches on our schedule."

Cavalier Baseball Team Gears Up
.. .Preparations for spring season in progress
by Chris Howard
Using fall practices, the base
ball team is shaping up to swing
away and batter up a strong spring.
The 1994 squad finished last
semester with an overall record of
seven games below 500. They won
nineteen games but lost twenty-six.
The Cavaliers qualified for
their first ever district tournament,
but the team dropped its first two
matches 4-1 and 6-4.
However, they did pull off big
regular season wins over two good
teams.
Their team held on for close
wins over NCAA II Gardner Webb,
8-6, and NCAA IUNCA, 7-6.
The M-AC sluggers are look
ing to build off last year to have a
strong season. Also, two returning
players were All-Conference from
last semester and expectations are
fueled by a third place conference
finish (12-9).
With plenty of strengths, the
biggest weakness on the field will
be the loss of Lance McCall, who is
finishing his degree this semester.
McCall was named All-Con
ference two consecutive seasons.
His 38 runs batted in was second in
the conference in 1994.
"We've got a big hole to fill at
second base", remarked Head Coach
Darin Chaplain.
Experience will be the prime
strength in 1995. In Chaplain's third
season, eighteen of this year's 38
players are returning from last year's
squad.
"We believe the seniors are our
leaders," commented Chaplain.
No official captain has been
selected, so the leadership for the
team will be expected from senior
Shawn Wills.
The offense will be led by All-
Conference and All-District team
member Joe Snyder.
From the mound, the pitching
staff will be led by Shane Hatcher
for yet another year. The All-Con
ference player finished 9-5 after lead
ing the conference in record pitches.
"They've done a real good job,"
stated Chaplain commenting about
what he's seen of the freshmen and
transfers thus far.
