UNCA men’s soccer team
hosted Garner-Webb Sept. 16 in
a spectacular game that came
down to the wire. It ended in a 1-
1 draw after two periods of extra
The UNCA Bulldogs made a
strong start and dominated the
game for the entire first half and
most of the remainder of playing
“We played well,” said UNCA
Head Coach Steve Cornish. “We
were creative going forward,”
The Bulldogs outshot Gardner-
Webb 27-15 and hit the post five
“We just couldn’t find the net
and hit the woodwork five times,”
said Cornish.
Freshman forward Barrett
Locke opened the scoring for
UNCA in the 38th minute. It
was Locke’s first career goal,
assisted by senior midfielder
Spencer Hines.
“Our midfield was excep
tional, both from a defensive
and from
an attacking standpoint,” said
Cornish. “We were very busy
all
over the field.”
The first half ended 1-0 with
the Bulldogs maintaining their
lead over Gardner-Webb.
The Bulldogs again domi
nated the early part of the
second half, but Gardner-Webb
fought back and pressured the
UNCA defense.
Goalkeeper Andrew Heath
kept UNCA in the lead with
some amazing saves, but
Gardner-Webb finally equal
ized in the 80th minute with a goal
from Henry Fossung.
UNCA took charge in the final
minutes of regulation, and Heath
continued to be consistent in goal.
He performed an athletic
save to prevent a well-taken
Gardner-Webb free kick from
dipping under the crossbar.
The game went into extra time,
and UNCA almost claimed a
victory when junior Mike Kachan
hit the crossbar in the first over
time.
Both periods of extra time
provided excitement with several
more UNCA shot goal attempts.
However the game ended 1-1.
“We put in a new formation
which seemed to work quite well,”
said Cornish, who was pleased with
the way his team played.
The Bulldogs will play Appala
chian State at Greenwood Field
Sept. 25 at 4 p.m.
No more shirts and skins in gym

The UNCA Health and Fitness
Center established a policy requir
ing all students, faculty and staff
who enter the weightroom, to wear
shirt that covers their torso, chest,
back, abdominals and shoulders.
This policy was implemented at
the beginning of the 2002 Fall
semester.
‘We need people to wear t-shirts
that cover the majority of their
upper body,” said Assistant Direc
tor of Recreation John Bucher.
Some people expressed concern
about health issues in the gym.
People who workout in the UNCA
gym, move from machine to ma
chine, exchanging bodily fluids
with other people who are exercis
ing, according to Bucher.
Reggie Goble, the safety officer
for health and environmental is-
t UNCA, said this policy
ensures the safety of all the people
who take advantage of UNCA’s
health and fitness center.
“This policy was implemented
for safety, prevention of infectious
diseases, or any disease processes
and (out of) respect for the next
person,” said Goble.
Bucher was unsure of the policy,
but discussed it with a number of
his colleagues at other colleges and
universities.
“A colleague of mine asked other
schools about their policies and
response was amazing,” said
Bucher. “Everybody that re
sponded have a very similar rule,
most are stricter than ours.”
The University of Florida requires
all patrons of their gym to wear an
unaltered t-shirt to enter their fa
cilities. Purdue University also re
quires that t-shirts be worn in their
facilities to collect sweat and
Apparel is a broad topic and Goble
and Bucher wanted to find a me
dium most people could live with
while working out in the gym.
“We just tried to come to a me
dium to say that a plain, old white
t-shirt is all you need,” said Goble.
“It is cheap. You wash it with your
regular laundry, and it helps you
out be-
‘People sweat. They slide off these
machines, and they will hurt a hand Toth, a senior psychology major,
or a finger, and that is another
son,” said Goble.
This new policy has not been widely
Many studerits feel the policy ef
fected women more than men.

Body secretions, such as sweat,
open sores and new tattoos, may
spread infections, according to
Goble.
“One of the ways infection can be
transferred on equipment is
through body secretions, sweat be
ing one of them,” said Goble.
General safety, not just the risk of
infection, is another reason for
implementing this policy, accord

The Bulldogs are in the find week

according to Latter. The team will
