It was not to be; Lenoir-Rhyne won that final game. Wrapping up with a winning season, 6-4 overall and 4-2 in the SAC, this season produced several standout moments. In the win at Wingate, receiver Brandon Bunn set school records with four touchdown catches and 247 yards receiving. The previous record for receiving yards had stood since 1968 when Ike Hill posted 215 yards against Carson-Newman. Also during the Wingate game, Bunn eclipsed the career touchdown record of Nick Means. By the end of the season, Bunn tallied a total of 30 touchdowns in his career. continued inside Mark your calendars for our Blue - White Weekend (including Ladies Night). We’ll have a very unique Ladies Night program for our women. Fall Sports April 1 st & 2nd MEN Catawba’s men will face a daunting task in 2010-11 to add a fifth straight NCAA II post-season trip to its resume. The Indians lost a combined 73% of its scoring and 62% of its rebounding with the departure of four key seniors along with top post player Stephen Coles. Dominick Reid returns to lead the offense. The point guard was fourth on the team in scoring last season at 8.9 points a game and dished out a team-leading 104 assists. Joining Reid in the backcourt from last season is Justin Huntley, Cameron Lovelace and Trey Shoemaker among those who played in 20 or more games. Huntley saw action in every game and although looked at for defense, the junior chipped in with nearly four points a game. Lee Martin and Stuart Thomson are the only two that return to the front court who saw action in over half the games. Martin had a solid freshman season as he averaged 4.7 points and 3.4 rebounds. Thomson returned after being sidelined a year with cancer to start 21 contests. The Indians will look to several newcomers to step in and fill the void left from last year’s departed players. Keon Moore will give Catawba play in the post, while Chris Watson and Chris Tyree will join the back court. Winter Outlooks! SWIMMING The Catawba swim teams look to several returners to lead them in 2010-11. On the men’s side, the Indians graduated it most decorated swimmer in Patrik Drakes, who twice advanced to the NCAA II Nationals. Returning to lead the men are Mikael Karlsson and Alex Higganbotham. Both swam NCAA “B” cut times last season and will look to improve on those times to grab a spot in the nationals. For the women, Katie Huff, Ashley Owens and Laurenn Singleton had “B” cut times. Owens swam in August representing the United States at the International Paralympic Committee World Championships in the Netherlands. The sophomore earned four medals, including three gold. She also helped the U.S. set a new world record in the 4x100 freestyle relay. More news & notes: Our Chiefs Club Board of Directors is interacting with our teams and coaches to thank them for their efforts on the field or on the court and for their strong work in the classroom. Our athletes continue to graduate at a higher rate than non-athletes. Also, Sports Hall of Fame Weekend is set for April 29th & 30th, 2011. Ashley Owens with Head Coach Betsy Graham
