Coach; Skip Taylor, Asst. Coach; Ricky Love; Gerald McKinney; Scott Browning; Steve Bowser; Gene Corbett; Caprice Kitchen, Kim Rinko, Cheryl Stamper, Statisticians The 1984- 1985 basketball season is a season to remember indeed. Ron Mikel ' s Hornets produced a 1 5 consecutive game winning streak resulting in their first ever appearance in the NCAA Division III national tournament. It was also the third longest winning streak in the nation and the first amoung Divi- sion III schools. After a nebulous beginning including a 62-59 overtime loss at home to North Carolina Wesleyan, the Hornets were facing a 5-6 overall record. Resting 1-2 in conference play, the Hornets looked like anyting but contenders for the DIAC championship. The shaky start may have defeated many teams, but the determined Hornets refused to bow out of the conference race. This talented, hard-working team com- bined well-executed, aggressive play with cool confidence to give Greensboro College supporters something to get excited about. The Hornets never lost again in the regular season and won the regular season conference title outright with a 12-2 record following a 65-63 defeat of neigh- bor rival UNC-Greensboro. Greensboro won the first two rounds of the DIAC tour- nament starting with a 78-77 win over Averett and then beating Christopher Newport 68-65 to advance to the finals. In an emotional four overtime game, said by many to be the greatest game in conference history, Greensboro College defeated St. Andrews 85-81 to secure the South Regional berth in the NCAA national tournament. The Hornets were derailed by Centre College of Ken- tucky 66-52 in the first round of the NCAA South Regionals hosted by Greensboro. The Greensboro Hor- nets came back the next night to drop fifth ranked Augsburg of Minnesota 83-69 to finish the 1984-1985 season with 21 wins, the most victories in the school ' s history. Steve Bowser and Marcus Keith were named First Team All Conference, and Calvin Hunt was named to the Second Team. Shannon Pulliam was voted the MVP of the DIAC Tournament. Coach Ron Mikels received DIAC Coach of the Year. tri

Spikers Post Third Consecutive Twenty Win Season The Greensboro College Volleyball Team was impressive again in 1984, winning twenty-three of thirty-five matches. Coach Jean Lojko ' s team was good enough to be ranked third in the South Region by the NCAA Division III. The Hornets finished third in the Dixie Conference race, behind UNC-G and St. Andrews. There were many highlights to the volleyball team ' s season. The team participated in the prestigious Juniata College Invitational and played the number one team in the nation (Juniata) in October. Elaine Penn, a senior from Madison, N.C., had an outstanding 1984 campaign. The 5 ' 3 setter was selected as the Dixie Conference Player of the Week twice. In addition, she was one of only six players to be named to the All- Tournament Team at the Juniata Tournament. Over 1 50 players participated in that tournament. Penn was also named All-Conference (First Team) and All-Tournament. Wendy Shope (Sanford, N.C.) was selected to the first team All-Conference squad for the second consecutive year. For the third consecutive year, Lisa Prillaman (Bassett, Va.), was named to the second team All- Conference squad. Lot ' s Of Firsts For Women ' s Basketball The GC Women ' s Basketball Team had their first winning season in the school ' s history with a 1 4- 1 overall record and a third place finish in the DIAC. The Hornets also defeated cross-town rival UNC-G 76-69 for the first time. The UNC-G win was tremendous for the Hornets because it exemplified where the program has come from and where it is headed. Several Hornet players recieved individual honors: Elaine Penn was voted Second Team All Conference, DIAC All Tournament, DIAC Player of the Week, and AWSF All American; Lorraine Orr received Second Team All Conference; DIAC Freshman of the Week (three times), and AWSF All American; and Donna Christy and Pam Benton received Hon- orable Mention All Conference.
