Nathan Wanuch's 20th-place showing in the NCAA South Region cross country meet Saturday at Tallahassee, Fla., did not get him a berth in the Division I national meet, but it did make him one of only four Southern Conference men's runners to be an all-region pick by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. Wanuch was the only All-South honoree; UNC Greensboro's Paul Chelimo and Paul Katam and Furman's Wilkerson Given earned All-Southeast Region status.

Volleyball

• UTC will be in the Southern Conference volleyball tournament for the first time in four years Saturday at Davidson College. Seeded No. 3 from the North Division, the Mocs (14-17, 8-8) will face South runner-up College of Charleston (23-7, 14-2) at 4:30 p.m. Georgia Southern (24-6, 15-1) and Samford (22-8, 14-2) are the top seeds.

• Kendall Williams from Ringgold had eight kills and three blocks as West Georgia beat nationally ranked (Division II) Christian Brothers 3-0 in volleyball Sunday. That was the Lady Wolves' school-record 10th Gulf South victory.

Soccer

• The No. 1-ranked Lee University women's soccer team begins its last NAIA tournament Saturday by hosting first-time qualifier Montreat College from the Appalachian Athletic Conference. Lee's Lady Flames have won the last four national titles and have advanced through 20 consecutive NAIA tournament matches since 2008. The 15 campus-site winners Saturday will join host Mobile from Lee's Southern States Athletic Conference for the round of 16 and beyond Nov. 26-Dec. 1 at Orange Beach, Ala. "My initial thought after looking at the bracket," Lee coach Matt Yelton said in a school release, "is that this might be the best overall tournament we have seen in the nine years we have been going to the tournament. There were not many upsets in the conference tournaments, so the pool of at-large teams was very good. ... Our side looks really tough with 11 of the top 17 ranked teams in the NAIA all on our side."

Golf

• Covenant College golfers Levi Nix and Trey Patterson are sixth and 10th individually in the Georgia Cup individual standings after the fall-semester competition involving six NCAA Division III schools in the Peach State. Nix, a freshman, had an average of 74.38 per round for the fall season, while sophomore Patterson's is 75.63. Both were invited to the National Christian College Athletic Association national tournament, where Patterson tied a school record with a first-round 68 and finished sixth and became Covenant's first golf All-American.

• The Lee University women's golf team is ranked eighth in the NAIA preseason poll released this past weekend, and the Lee men's team is ninth. Defending NAIA champion British Columbia leads the women's poll, while Texas Wesleyan is No. 1 in the men's with three returning All-Americans from a sixth-place national finish. "I think starting the spring out ranked No. 8 is a great position for the Lady Flames, because I think our best golf is ahead of us this season," Lee coach John Maupin said. Of his Flames, he said, "We had a chance to win three times this fall, and I think that experience of being in the hunt will help us moving forward."
