For the first time in school history, Montreat College is ranked #1 in their Region (NAIA Region XII) and in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. Nationally, Montreat is ranked #32, though last week’s win against King College should move them closer to the top 25 in tomorrow’s national poll. According to Assistant Coach Josh Riccardi, “We’re in the driver’s seat. It’s a comforting thought to know that if we win out, we win conference. That puts us in a good position for the regional conference, which leads to the national level. Our goal from day one has been to win the national championship. We’ve got a group of guys out there that understand that 90 minutes is a game – not 89, not 87. They come out to play and they’ve always got two things on their mind – the next game, and the national championship.” Read More
Restoring native populations of Southern Appalachian strain brook trout to their native watersheds is a priority for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC). Since the mid 1990s, the NCWRC has documented over 500 isolated populations of reproducing (wild) brook trout in western North Carolina. Of that group, approximately 36% have been identified as being purely Southern Appalachian strain, 10% are purely northern strain, and 54% are mixed genetically. Since 2004, the NCWRC has been integrally involved with the Eastern Brook Trout Joint Venture (EBTJV). The EBTJV is comprised of over 50 state and federal management agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions, and represents an unprecedented attempt to protect and restore populations of wild brook trout in the eastern United States.

Amanda Solesbee, a senior on the Montreat College women’s soccer team fed her teammates well on the field last week, nearly breaking the national NAIA record for assists in a single game as Montreat pounded Toccoa Falls College in a 7 – 1 victory. Head coach Dan Woerner knew Solesbee had a great game, but it wasn’t until he verified the stats the he realized her 6 assists blasted the previous Montreat school record and put Solesbee in the NAIA record books, tying Nicole Hanlon from Indiana Tech’s second place record. Jeana French from Hope International University in California holds the current record with 8 assists. The Lady Cavaliers are currently 3-1 on the season, scoring seven goals in each of their wins.

The goal was to have 45 donors, but a total of 55 pints of blood were collected—with 17 first-time donors. Last fall, walk-in donors had to be turned away because of an overwhelming response, so for the spring drive, donations were by appointment only.
