Commuter Appreciation Day and the Haid Gtand Reopen- ing Celebration were just a few of the reasons to look back and smile. Even singer songwritet Chris Brady, an Abbey favorite, was impressed and decided to use the Haid for his upcoming video. ir rr it Of course, every now and then, one might have heard a student mutter that there was nothing to do on campus. But after all the long hours and hard work put in by the C.U.B., you had to figure that muttering student was muttering about someplace else. 72 P yE ififl mg e ■ .J |M fe- i 1 The Abbey Voice reporters were on the prowl again this year covering on -cam- pus events and bringing you the Abbey news.

One year earlier, Coach Kevin Eastman had led his young team, predicted to finish in the middle of the pack in District 26 play, to an outstanding 23 - 6 record and a Regular Season District Championship. Eastman was named District Coach of the Year for his efforts in only his first year at the Crusaders helm. Two players, Mike Ward and LaVar Curry, made All-District. With only Ward to replace, aspirations were high as -The Abbey approached the 1987-88 season. But, as two-time defending Regular Season Champions, BAC had now become the hunted, not the hunter. Everyone was gunning for the Crusaders beginning with Elon ,n the season opener. Elon and Lander defeated the crusaders to deal them an 0-2 start. Belmont Abbey went to Newport News, Virginia to get its first win of the season versus the Apprentice School. Returning home, BAC lost to Transylvania who hovered around the NAIA top 10 all season, in a hard fought game 66-64. The Crusaders got back on track by defeating District 26 opponents Catawba and Pfeiffer before heading to New York. To conclude the pre-holiday schedule, The Abbey won at Montclair St., then dropped a 64-62 decision to 1 ranked St. Thomas Aquinas in an absolute war. At Christmas the record stood at 4-4. The time off over the holidays enabled injured players to heal and allowed ineligible transfer players to become eligible since the second semester was now beginning. In January, Belmont Abbey went 6-3 which included wins over Mars Hill, Mt. Olive, and Elon to avenge an earlier defeat. The losses were to Lenoir Rhyne, on the road at Transylvania and Gardner- Webb. Against G- W, the top team m the District, Belmont Abbey College led 18 points with 12 minutes to play only to have the Dogs come back and win. I In February, Belmont Abbey as customary got hot and won ten straight games, including 8 district games. The most thrilling was a one point victory over Gardner- Webb in front of a huge home crowd and the local TV stations. A loss at Mt. Olive on March 1 ended the streak and left The Abbey with a 20-8 overall record and 14-4 District record. Seeded fourth for the District playoffs, the Crusaders could now only sit and wait in hopes that Elon or High Point would win the Carolinas Conference Tourney to assure Belmont Abbey College the final spot in the four team play-off format. Fortunately, High Point won the Carolinas Conference tournament to secure the fourth seed for the Abbey and set-up a third game versus arch-rival, Gardner- Webb, at Boiling Springs. In a typically exciting and hard fought contest with G- W, Belmont took the third and most important game of the season between these two teams by a score of 75- 72. This win set up a District 26 Championship game at High Point College, the same team that had knocked off the 1 seeded crusaders in the playoffs a year earlier. Belmont Abbey fell behind quickly 10-0 as High Point ' s Roy Smith dominated the inside game early. After an intense, emphatic, and timely time-out by Coach Eastman, the Crusaders re- grouped to outscore the Panthers 85-70 on their way to a District Championship. LaVar Curry as usual, led the way by scoring 20 second half points for a total of 27. This District title, the Abbey ' s first since 1962 earned them the right to go to Kansas City to play for a National Championship. Fort Hays state was the first round opponent. Fort Hays had won the National Championship in 1985 and 1986 and fielded an overpowering line-up. Unfortunately, they proved to be too much for the Abbey on that particular night and defeated them 95-63. This loss was a disappointment, but it should in no way take away from the outstanding year. With a final record of 22-9, a District Championship, and Curry and Kevin Beamer making all-District, the year, 1987-88 will go down as one of the most successful in Belmont Abbey basketball history.
