Tar Heel swimmers early leaders in ACCs By Stephen Higdon SUff Writer Wednesday at Koury Natatorium, UNC lacked off the 1993 ACC Swim ming and Diving Championships in fine fashion, ending the first day of the four-day meet as the leader in both the men’s and women's competitions. In the four men’s events held Wednesday,the 19th-ranked Tar Heels racked up 178 points. 22nd-ranked N.C. State, the defending ACC Cham pions, closely trails UNC with 146 points, llth-ranked Virginia is cur rently third, with 130 points. Clemson is fourth in the men’s com petition with 87 points, while 24th ranked Florida St. is fifth at 44.5 points. North Carolina only had one swim mer take first place in an event, as junior Dan Summerlin upset Virginia’s Bill Smyth in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of one minute, 48.50 seconds. However, the Tar Heels managed to forge a lead by dominating events like the 500-yard freestyle, which saw UNC’s Yann deFabrique, David Monasterio and James Hamrick finish second, third and fourth. The 17th-ranked Tar Heel women, winners of the last two ACC Champi onships, forged a 217-168.5 lead over 18th-ranked Virginia, the only squad to defeat UNC in dual meet competi tion this season. N.C.

Sarah Perroni won the 50 free with a time of 23.13 seconds, taking her third ACC title in the event Perroni also anchored the first-place Tar Heel 200-yard medley relay team, which set an ACC-meet record of 1:43.99. ‘Tm looking forward to the next few days,” Perroni said. “It’s a long meet, and I think our best meets are still to come.” UNC freshman Kari Haag, who teamed with Pemmi on the 200 med ley, also had a great day of competi tion. Haag qualified for the NCAAs in the 50 free during the morning’s pre liminaries with a time of 23.18, and then finished second to Perroni in the finals at 23.25. “I’m ecstatic over making the cut (in the 50 free),” Haag said. “As for the team, the next three days are going to be hard if s a test for our team and our ability to stay focused.” The next three days aside, North Carolina head coach Frank Comfort was impressed by the Tar Heel women’s effort Wednesday. “They’re pretty up and motivated after losing to Virginia in the dual meet in Charlottesville (on January 31). For our seniors, that was the only ACC dual meet they lost in four years. “In the next three days we’ll see what happens,” Comfort said. “But I’ll tell you, we took care of ourselves today.” Pitchers shut out Camels in softball team’s sweep Staff report BUIES CREEK North Carolina pitchers Paige Lauby and Yvette Davis hurled consecutive shutouts Wednesday as the UNC softball team swept Campbell, 3-0 and 2-0, at Eakes Athletic Complex. UNC improves to 8-2 on the season with the wins. Campbell falls to 2-2. Davis spun a two-hitter in the nightcap, striking out five Camels for her first victory of the season against two losses. The Tar Heels scored the only run it would need in the first inning when catcher Tanya Spishak singled and later scored on a double by first baseman Vicki Huff. UNC added an insurance run in the sixth on shortstop Lynnae Flynn’s RBI single. Kristy Zulka (1-1) took the loss for Campbell. Huff went a combined 5-7 on the day with a double, triple and RBI. Flynn went a combined 6-7. Lauby (4-0) allowed just five singles in the opener while striking out eight Camels to best Andrea Nardolillo (1-1). The Tar Heels scored a run in the third on Huffs triple. The senior scored on a single by rightfielder Beverly Smith. UNC added two runs to the lead in the sixth inning on singles by Lauby, Spishak, Meleata Smalls and Amy Cole.

The sea son will begin a week early with the Disneyland Pigskin Classic in Anaheim, Calif., and will end late with a Thanks giving-Friday nationally covered game against conference foe Duke. The team was invited to play in the Pigskin Classic against the University of Southern California. “Obviously we’re very excited,” head coach Mack Brown said. “It’s a tremendous chal lenge to play a team like Southern Cal.” The game is sponsored by Raycom and will be televised nationally. “The most rewarding thing to the players is the national recognition,” Brown said. “(Playing on national TV is) fun for (the players) and it’s fun for the coaches.” The players plan on having more fun than just during the game: Friday is going to be the players’ day at Disneyland. When Brown mentioned the invitation to the players, he got a shout of “Yes” from the team before he even gave the details about the game or the opponent. “I’m not sure (our players) have seen the film, because (USC is) very good,” he said. But Brown isn ’ t looking to this game as a loss before it is played. “We sure don’t want to play in any football game without feeling that we’re going to win,” he said. Brown went on to say that the Classic pitted the two teams with the most 1,000- SPORTS yard backs in college history UNC with 21 and Southern Cal with 19. The game will be played at Anaheim Stadium, which, although specified as a “neutral” field, will be somewhat of a home advantage for the Trojans, Brown said. “The Trojan Horse will be geared up and ready to go,” he said.

When that freshman expects to play quality min utes in his first season under head bas ketball coach Dean Smith, that list be comes much longer. UNC’s Dante Calabria, a 6-foot-4 guard from Beaver Falls, Pa., has com pleted his list of things to learn and is rewarded by more playing time than any other freshman on the team. Calabria is quick to point out, how ever, that he is no different from his classmates. “All of us just work hard just trying to learn right now. I’m in there tiying to do the best I can just like Larry (Davis), Ed (Geth) and Serge (Zwikker).” But an athlete’s hard work shows up in game statistics. In the 24 games he’s played, Calabria has snared 20 rebounds, contributed 22 assists and scored 59 points on 52.5 percent shooting from the field, including 9 of 19 from the three-point line. Granted, a prep player of Calabria’s caliber is accustomed to averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds, five steals and four assists per game as he did at Blackhawk High School. But the road on this level is of a much rougher terrain. “The biggest difference is that you have to be ready to play at your top level every game (in college) because you’re going against guys that are exceptional players every time,” Calabria said. “If you relax for just a little bit, you’re going to be going down hill. So you have to be ready to play at all times.” At UNC, freshmen spend a lot of time being ready and not a lot of time playing. For Calabria, it’s been time well spent, both on and off the court. “I think he adjusted well to learning the system,” sophomore guard Donald Williams said. “He picked up a lot of things before the other freshmen. He has a lot of potential.” Offensively, Calabria’s shooting bril liance was never in question coining into UNC. It was the defensive philoso phy of Smith that challenged this fresh man the. most. Going against Derrick Phelps has afforded Calabria the oppor tunity to hone these skills to perfection. “In practice I have to play against him every day,” Calabria said. “He’s one of the better defensive players in the league—in the country, actually. That’s helping me greatly.” Calabria’s overall talents do not go unnoticed by his predecessor, either. “Dante’s been doing a good job since the beginning of the season,” Phelps said. “He’s doing a great job just keep ing his composure and not getting down with his freshman season.” Phelps will not takecredit for Calabria’s rapid development, however. “I’m just trying to do my part as an • In Motion Neon Lighting • Spoilers • Sunroofs (pop-up & electric) • Alarm Systems Front & Rear Blackout Kits • Driving lights y (ESESHSfc Laserset Resumes slsl page •One day service •Kept on file for 2 years • Rushes possible C.O.

The University is guaranteed $550,000 to play in the Classic. The game will be aired at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. USC finished the season with a record of 6-5-1, and finished off its season with a Dec. 29 loss to Fresno State in the Freedom Bowl, 24-7. The Tar Heels lead the series 1-0. The last time the two teams met was in 1958, with the Tar Heels winning, 8-7. Along with an early start to the sea son, the Tar Heels will finish off the regular season a bit later than usual. The Duke game, a much-heralded rivalry, will be shoved up a ways. John Swofford, UNC athletic director, said ABC asked to move the game to Thanks giving Friday to be aired on national television. The game will be in Kenan Stadium, with a tentative kickoff sched uled for 11:00. “The most important thing I’ve learned is to play hard,” Calabria said. “If you’re working hard, the coaches will see that. All they ask from you is 100 percent. If you give 100 percent, you’re going to be all right.” DTH/Debbie Stengel 7
