SPORTS: Hot Camels, Cats meet in Cullowhee

CULLOWHEE-Western Carolina hosts Campbell tonight in a clash of two teams off to banner starts.

Western (8-1) and Campbell (5-1) both moved up to Division 1 competition in the mid-1970’s, and both are off to their best starts since that move.

Campbell, which is 0-15 in Cullowhee over the years, has beaten East Carolina and North Florida this year, and lost by 11 to Virginia Tech.

Western jumped from 31st to 23rd in the national RPI ranking after its Monday night win at Bradley, and moved to 15th in the collegeinsiders.com mid-major poll Monday afternoon. In addition to the win at Bradley, the Catamounts have topped Duquesne and SoCon foes Furman and Wofford.

Western meets Rick Pitino’s Louisville squad Saturday in Louisville.

More on tonight’s game from the Asheville Citizen-Times and the Sanford Herald.
