Coach Jackson has been a busy man lately. With the Lady Cavaliers preparing for their final regular season game this weekend and the AAC tournament just around the corner, Jackson has been hitting the recruiting trail rather heavily, and has come home with signed letters of intent.

Earlier this week, Jackson announced his first two signees, Caitlyn Chambers and Alicia Wallace.

Montreat women's basketball Coach Craig Jackson has made a statement this season. With only half the team as most other AAC rosters, Jackson has led his team to a 12-15, and 5-10 conference record, which is a great improvement from recent years- though he contends this is only the beginning. He is well on his way to filling his roster with the talent he believes will take the Lady Cavaliers to the top of the conference. With that goal in mind, Coach Jackson has recently announced the signing of two star players for next year's team; Caitlyn Chambers, a 5-8 senior star from Greenville Tech Charter High School, will be joining her future Lady Cavalier teammate Alicia Wallace, a 6-2 star center from North Surry High School, as Montreat's newest additions. Jackson believes both young ladies will have an immediate impact on the team and in the conference.

With star player Chazaree Wright out with a leg injury, Coach Jackson's Lady Cavaliers fell to one of the top AAC teams last night in Covenant College, 67-79. "It's really tough when you lose your top scorer who's also our top rebounder," said Jackson, "we have to continue to find ways to make up for that. We have to rely on the bench and the other players to step up. I felt we did some good things there down the stretch, cutting the lead to just one a couple of times. All in all, we played a pretty solid game against them." Picking up some of the scoring responsibility was Sophomore forward Whitney Boone (Bakersville, NC), as she dished in 20 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Boone was 7-for-16 for the night, with 2-of-5 from 3-point land.

It was one of those nights Coach Jackson wishes to put behind him. After giving the Lady Bulldogs of Union College a tough game at home earlier in the year, Montreat's Lady Cavaliers went into Saturday's game poised to make another strong showing in the AAC. Instead, the Lady Bulldogs, coming off of disappointing loss to Milligan College earlier in the week, took out their frustration against the Lady Cavaliers in a lopsided 84-55 victory. "It was one of those nights," said Coach Jackson, "they really pressed us and played with a lot of intensity. They took a big lead early on and we just couldn't get back into our game."

Within minutes of tip-off, Montreat's Lady Basketball coach Craig Jackson didn't like what he saw. The Lady Cobras of Virginia Intermont (6-15, 3-7) took a commanding 15-2 lead over Montreat. After regrouping, Montreat went into the locker room still trailing by 10 points. It was in the locker room that Jackson challenged his ladies-- and they responded. Montreat went on to win a gutsy 79-75 AAC home game. "This was a huge come-from-behind win for us," said Coach Jackson, "it was really tough going down early like we did and fighting back. This is the first time we've come back like this all season, so it was nice to do, especially at home." It was Janel Cox that led the way for the Lady Cavaliers.

Montreat dropped an important conference game to Tennessee Wesleyan (6-11, 4-3) last night, 59-71. The loss now puts Montreat four games out of the lead in the AAC race. The Lady Cavalier Player of the Game honor went to Chazaree Wright. Wright was able to contribute 15 points and pull down 13 rebounds. However, it was not enough to hold off four Lady Bulldogs in double figures. TWC was led by Lindsey Jackson's 18 points and five rebounds. "We had a hard time guarding the basketball tonight," said Head Coach Craig Jackson, "We sent Tennessee Wesleyan to the line way too many times. Hopefully, we can bounce back against Bennett on Thursday." Coach Jackson makes reference to TWC's 19-of-28 free throws, compared to Montreat's 6-of-8.

"Good things are happening on the road for us, but unfortunately we fell a little short tonight" said Head Coach Craig Jackson, "King College is a tough place to play, hopefully, the next time we face them, the outcome will be different." King College fed off the home crowd as they overcame Montreat's nearly 45% shooting from the floor compared to their 37%.

Chazaree Wright had another double-double night as she led the Lady Cavaliers past Spelman College, 72-67. The Lady Cavs are making great strides behind new head coach Craig Jackson. Montreat now has an overall 6-7 record; their 6th win surpasses their total season wins over the past few years. “This was a great win on the road. Spelman was rather physical, so we weren’t able to take the lead until the final five minutes,” said Jackson, “we will now take some time off until after the Christmas break. So all in all, it was a great win and a great first semester.” Kim Staley had another solid performance with 16 points and nine rebounds. Montreat managed to take care of the ball as they recorded only 14 turnovers, their fewest of the season.

The Lady Cavs fell last night to Covenant College, 98-85. Montreat played their typical aggressive play that Coach Craig Jackson has come to expect; however, early foul trouble gave the Lady Scot's an edge as two of Montreat's starters fouled out, and two others ended the game with four fouls. "This was a very good effort against a very good team on the road," said Coach Jackson, "obviously, our team's foul trouble made it challenging. We need to get others involved and contributing." The Cavs sent the nation's number one free throw shooting team to the line 43 times, which proved to be the deciding factor. Covenant College has been recently ranked #22 in the country; all things considered however, Montreat College played admirably against Covenant.

MONTREAT — Basketball had not been a lot of fun for Craig Jackson or the Montreat women’s team in recent years. Formerly a Division I coach at University of the Pacific, Jackson endured a 5-22 record his last complete season there and resigned after a 1-5 start in 2005-06. Meanwhile, the Montreat women have finished next-to-last in the Appalachian Athletic Conference for four straight years while averaging five wins per season. But after their first month together, Jackson and the Cavaliers look like a nice combination. They went into Tuesday’s game needing one win to tie last season’s victory total, and they’ve been competitive in two league losses. “We’re all just really excited,” sophomore Janel Cox said. “Coach tells us to trust him and good things will happen. ... Our offense is more structured, and so is our defense. We work well in his system, too.” Junior Whitney Mace, in her third season at Montreat, said: “Coach Jackson knows the game really well. We have set plays, and he makes sure we know what we’re doing. It makes the game fun.”

Montreat kept things rather interesting throughout the first half as they hovered near a single-digit deficit. The Lady Cavs went into the locker room trailing UNC-A, 37-23. “I thought we played them really well the first half… it’s tough for us to keep the big teams off the glass,” said Coach Jackson, “we had too many turnovers in the second half. All in all, it was a good effort from our women. These were two tough teams we have played, and I think they got better tonight than the Gardner-Webb game.”

Coach Jackson’s Lady Cavaliers ran out of momentum this weekend against D-I Gardner-Webb University and lost their first game of the season 98-53. But, Montreat didn’t go down without a Cavalier fight. The Lady Cavs, playing with only eight players, gave Garder-Webb all it wanted during the first half. With nearly 10 minutes remaining in the first half, Montreat led the Lady Bulldogs 21-11, and visited the locker room trailing by only eight points. “Unfortunately, we got into foul trouble early in the game, and with only eight girls on the squad, it was tough to keep up the tempo of play that we set early in the game,” said Head Coach Craig Jackson, “Though I think we played great basketball during the first half.” With Janel Cox and Chazaree Wright fouling out, Montreat’s offense became a bit more vulnerable.
