Women’s volleyball on the rise
By Carol Whitener
After losing their first three mat
ches in their own tournament held in
Justice Center, Septemer 10, the
UNCA women’s volleyball team has
won their last four matches.
One of the reasons for the drastic
turnaround could be the dip in com
petition on the ladies’ schedule. The
initial tournament posed team
threats such as Georgia, South
Carolina, and East Tennessee State
universities. The schedule since, in
all fairness, has been an easier row
to hoe.
In their first home match Sept. 14,
tjie Lady Bulldogs thrashed
Milligan 15-7 and 15-2 in straight
games. The team passing from the
back lines to the power positions on
the front of the offensive set was
much improved from the previous
encounter. The butterflies that ac
company a first college match
seemed to have disappeared.
The second match that night
proved that fact reliable as the
women coasted to their second win
over Gardner-Webb, 15-1 and 15-2.
The strong frontline play of Beth
Panwithz and the passing of Sarah
Orozco were two keys to winning.
First-year coach, Myra Sims said,
“They all played great.”
On Sept. 17 the Lady Bulldogs
traveled to the University of Ten
nessee at Chattanooga. The first
game was a barnburner with the
women losing to Alabama A & M
13-15. They fought back, however,
to win the match with 15-6 and
15-victories. Coach Sims sain, “We
got off to a slow start, but the girls
didn’t quit when they could easily
have done just that.” She at
tributed the slow start to the long
trip and a flat tire on the way to
Chattanooga.
The women put their fourth con
secutive win under their belts by
edging UT-Chattanooga 15-7 and
17-15. The twoTreturners Jackie
Bacoate and Bonnie Hipps were in
strumental in the victory while Beth
Panwithz and Pat Bembry con
tinued their consistent frontline
play.
It can also be said of the
discrepencies between the team’s
early performance and the current
success has to do with personnel.
The first matches the women played
were against NCAA Division 1
schools which offer full volleyball
scholarships. UNCA is a member of
the NAIA District 26 and only of
fers partial scholarships.
