THE GUILFORDIAN February 12, 1990

After beating N.C. Wesleyan,
Coach Jerry Cornwell said, "We
did a good job defensively and
that let us get some easy bas
kets."
Because of their defensive
surge, the Quakers could "give
some people some rest and have
fresh people in all of the time."
Gold and Taylor teamed for 44
points and 19 rebounds. Helton
and senior Co-Captain Kelly
Bailey combined for 15 assists.
Comwell stressed, "We want
to press and try to wear [Belmont
Abbey] down because we have
depth advantage."
G uilford couldn't capitalize on
this advantage as India Adams
and the rest of the Crusaders
bolted to a 42-20 halftime lead.
Gold surprisingly fouled out
early in the second half with just
2 points after averaging 2 fouls
per game previously. Helton
tallied 23 points as Taylor scored
19 and pulled down 10 boards.
Bailey and sophomore Laura
Klingseisen had three steals
apiece for the stunned Quaker
squad as Abbey pushed its rec
ord to 21-0 (10-0).
Guilford went to St. Andrew's
Saturday and travel to Pfeiffer
Wednesday in two "must" games.

Others mentioned as assets to
the hitting game first baseman
Mike Carlson and centerfielder
Chris Redmon, both juniors.
Though the roster only allows
25 players on the team, 31 men
are currently practicing.
"We've got several positions
that are up for grabs," said Ful
ton. "I don't know who's going
to play where yet.
"We can look forward to some
of the new faces having an im
pact on the infield," Fulton con
tinued. "Those are Jeff Petty,
Scott Stier, Scott Cates, Chan
Whitson and Jerry Marshall. You
have to be strong up the middle,
the key defensive positions. If

we get people to fill these posi
tions, we'll have a chance to get
a little bit better."
With the change to the NCAA,
the baseball team is adjusting
their schedule accordingly.
"We'll be play ing more NCAA
teams, which means we're miss
ing some of the teams we've
played in the past," said Fulton.
This gives us potential if we
execute... if you don't perform,
you don't get positive results.
"I have raised my level of
expectations for my players this
year," said Fulton. "If they're
willing to do what I ask them to
do, we'll have success in itself.
Success doesn't have to be meas
ured in wins and losses, but in the
players' ability to perform."
The first game of the season is
Thursday, March 1, at Hampden-
Sydney at 3 p.m.
The first home game is Sun
day, March 4, against Shenan
doah at 2 p.m. That will be the
first chance for the campus spec
tators to come and root for the
home team.
Hopefully, the sun will con
tinue to shine and help the base
ball diamond sparkle.
Player of the Week
Tim Beckwith
Men's Basketball
Tim, a senior from Hampton, Va., contributed heavily to the
team in the last three Guilford games. Against Roanoke, he
totalled 17 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds. In a losing cause
at ML Olive, he scored 28 point and totalled 7 assist and 4
rebounds. He saved his best game of the week for Newport
News. In the 9-point victory he totalled 32 points, 7 assists and
6 rebounds. The 32 points match his season high.

will play against St. An
drew's [last Saturday].
"He is a tough player with
a heart that is bigger than his
body," Jensen continued.
"He doesn't want us to lose."
Prospects for the post
season are next to nothing
for the Quakers this year.
"As they say at the end of
baseball or football season,
we have a mathematical
chance," said Jensen. "But
it doesn't look like we will
go."
Next week, Guilford hosts
Pfeiffer on Wednesday and
Newport News Apprentice
on Saturday.
The Quakers lost to Pfeif
fer 68-64 on January 15.
"Pfeiffer has the best per
sonnel in the Carolinas Con
ference," said Jensen. "The
have last year's Rookie of
the Year, the leading re
bounder and another all-star
player. Those three are very
talented but they also have
four or five good players."
Jensen does not think that
playing Newport News af
ter playing them last week
will hurt the Quakers.
"It's just a game we have
to play in order to fulfill our
Division 111 requirements,"
said Jensen.
Jensen has not seemed too
happy his team this season.
But he has still hoped for the
best
"I hope the students will
see us in the next five home
games play a little better,"
said Jensen. "Let's hope we
play up to our capabilities."
