The finals of the fourth Hero's
Invitational Lacrosse Tournament
turned out in storybook fashion Sunday
as the University of Maryland nipped
Carolina 10-9 in sudden death overtime
UNC Head Coach Paul Doty
summed up the Tar Heels frustration at
game's end. "We had it (the game). The
loss is brutal."
Tigers nudge
UNC thinclads
Carolina track coach Joe Hilton
Last week he said that his team would have
trouble in dual meets because of weaknesses
in the sprints. Saturday the Tar Heels"
dropped the season opener against Clemson '
73-72. From the 100-yard dash to the 440
yard relay they were outscored 19-7.
Besides being hurt in the short races the
Heels lost both relays thereby gaining no
points to Clemson's 10. Although they ran
well, Carolina could not outrun the Tigers
indoor champion mile relay team. In the 440
yard relay, a baton exchange foul-up
resulted in another Tiger win.
In spite of the loss, Hilton said that "the
performances were very good." Where they
are strong from the 880 to the three-mile
the Tar Heels dominated.
William Southerland captured the half
mile in 1:55.6 while Kevin McLee got third.
Ralph King ran a 4:31.1 to win the mile as
Henry Jones and Tommy Ward followed to
sweep the event. Co-captain Dave Hamilton '
and Kent Taylor placed one-two in the two
mile. -
Sam Beasley was the sole double winner
for Carolina as he leapt 23-6'$ to win the
long jump and 47-3! to cop the triple jump.
Carolina defensive lineman Rod Broadway
put the shot far enough to earn him a second '
place.
Reggie Brown sped 440 yards in 49.1
seconds to win that event. Dave Robinson
won the pole vault with a 14-6 listed height
but he actually cleared an impressive 16-3
later. Teammate Robert Williams was
second.
Hilton cited first-meet jitters, lack of
outdoor experience and-the field events as
contributing factors in the narrow defeat.

. At the outset of the tournament,
many were looking ahead to a UNC
Maryland rematch. Maryland, ranked
second nationally, took an earlier match
13-9. Carolina has never beaten the
Terps.
Because of wet turf at Duke, Sunday's
finals were switched to UNCs astroturf.
Fans were treated to a sunny day and
a classic encounter between two highly
rated rivals.
Maryland had a tougher time , in
reaching the finals but the Terps got the
big goals when they were needed.
Maryland defeated Air Force Thursday
and on Saturday upended defending
champion Maryland Lacrosse Club 9-8
in sudden death double overtime.
North Carolina devastated a young
Dartmouth team 10-3 and buried Ohio
State 12-0 to gain a berth in the finals.
So the stage was set,- Leading goal
scorer Bert Fett said, "We came out
strong against Ohio State. We were
really psyched up. It gave us an
opportunity to play Maryland again."
The Tar Heels had the Terps on the
ropes but let it get away.
Fluid Bert Fett, playing most of the
game with a painful hip pointer, opened
the scoring with only a minute gone on
an unassisted goal.
The tables turned, however, as
Maryland rattled in four second-period
goals to take a 4-1 lead at half time.
Maryland, playing without its first
line goalie who twisted an ankle early in
the first game, looked unbeatable with
two unanswered goals in the third
period for a 6-1 margin.
The hustling Heels, looking like a
beaten ballclub, refused to fold.
Fett, considered by many the MVP of
the tournament, started Carolina rolling
with four unanswered goals within two
minutes, scoring twice to bring UNC
back.
From then on the score see-sawed and
found Carolina ahead 9-8 on a "Paul
Worstell goal. Maryland, on the verge
.of defeat, scored with just seven seconds
left to send the battle into overtime. Bert
Caswell shattered UNCs hope of an
upset at 1:28 with an unassisted goal.
Maryland outshot UNC 49-34 and
UNC goalie Chuck Weinstein had 14
saves. Fett had three goals and three
assists, and Richard Meade had two
goals.

Baseballers take 3

Ah, for those classic moments in baseball.
Like the one yesterday at Cary Boshamer
Stadium.
The Tar Heel baseball team had just won
the first game of a doubleheader with Bill
Paschall pitching a neat 10 strikeout,
shutout game. But in game two against the
University of Massachusetts, the Carolina
team was up against the wall. U. Mass. held a
4-2 lead that looked pretty solid.
Redman pitcher John McManus was
. breezing through four innings of relief. But
two walks later, the Massachusetts righty
was in trouble and facing Early Jones, who
had homered in the first-game victory over
Western Carolina (3-0).
"1 was waiting for the first strike. The
coach gave me the sign to take until he
(McManus) threw a strike. 1 knew he was
having trouble getting the ball over."
With that Early Jones quote, the scene is
set. A beautiful spring day was slowly fading
away, as was the crowd that packed the
stadium. Long shadows pierced the right
field area.
Jones took the first pitch a ball. The
next pitch was on the outside corner a
strike. The third pitch was gone on the swing.
The ball took off like a shot on a beeline for
right field. As it cleared the fence, the crowd
"exploded, the team exploded, and the game
was over 5-4 in the' Tarheels' favor.
Early Jones said about the homer, "The
pitch was a high outside fastball. By a long
shot, it was the most exciting home run I've
ever hit. I hit two in one day down at Rollins,
but this was the best."
The Tar Heels did, indeed, sweep the
doubleheader 4-0 and 5-4, thus running their
record to nine wins against five losses.

110-90 win places UNC 3rd in East

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Playing a 10 a.m.
Eastern Regional consolation game
Saturday didn't seem to present much
problem for the University of North
Carolina basketball team. The Tar Heels
jumped out to an early lead, held it, and won.
UNCs victims, Boston College (B.C.),
had the home court advantage, by virtue of
its location 50 miles away, but according to
B.C. Assistant Coach Dave Frietag, "We
had a horrible practice yesterday (last Friday
after losing to Kansas State). I was surprised
Carolina has now won their last five games in
a row.
The team continues its homestand today
against Old Dominion. The rest of the week
looks something ' like this: Tuesday
Virginia Tech, Wednesday U. Mass.
(again, and man will they be hot), Duke at
Durham on Thursday, and ACC toughie,
Clemson, on Saturday. With the exception
of the Duke game, all the others will be at
Cary Boshamer Stadium.
Last Friday the Tar Heels traveled to
Pembroke State and came away with a 3-0
win. Mike Merritt threw the shutout and in
the process, mowed down nine men via the
strikeout. Early Jones knocked in the first
and winning run with a single that drove
home Mike Wilkerson, who had doubled.
The Heels came up with the two insurance
runs in the seventh inning on a single by
Wilkerson, a double by Bill Lee, a single by
freshman shortstop Haeberle, and a ground
out by Chris Knepp.
Merritt commented on his performance in
the 3-0 win. "1 used a different style against
Pembroke. Instead of throwing hard 1
pitched a control-type game. I just didn't
throw as hard as I usually do. The best thing
is that 1 was keeping the balL low on the
corners of the plate on most every pitch."
Paschall, meanwhile, was in total control
over Western Carolina. He struck out 10 and
scattered six hits in upping his record to 4-0.

we got as close as we did to Carolina."
But UNC, after an unusual pre-game meal
of orange juice and sweet rolls, regrouped
after its Thursday loss for the 20-point win,
1 10-90. UNC fell to Syracuse 78-76.
Though disliking consolation games,
UNC Head Coach Dean Smith said in his
post-game interview, We played hard all
year long. They have bounced back from
defeat all year. This is no different. If you're
writing a script (with a consolation game),
that's the way you want it to end."
Carolina, whose three seniors, Mickey
Bell, Brad Hoffman and Ed Stahl, saw their
last collegiate action, rushed to a 20-8 lead
before B.C. called time at 13:22. B.C. closed
the gap to five, however, during the next 4'5
minutes, outshooting UNC 14 points to
seven for a 27-22 score. The gradually-filling
Civic Center, nevertheless, witnessed the Tar
Heels hit three outside buckets to key an 1 1
point lead, 37-26, with about 6lA minutes left
in the half.
After that, the game was never seriously in
doubt, though B.C. rallied to within four, 67
63. Responding quickly, Hoffman and Stahl
led the team back to a 10-point cushion, (77
67), each with two consecutive baskets.
UNC junior Mitch Kupchak then took
over the majority of scoring responsibility,
putting in 15 points in the last 9XA minutes,
mostly on lay-up-assist situations. Kupchak,
who made the All-East Tournament team,
finished with 13 rebounds and 36 points, his
career high.
Hoffman also made the sports writers'
selected team for his outstanding outside 20
foot range shooting 10 of 12 field goals and
20 points in the semifinal loss to Syracuse
and 8-15 and 16 points against B.C.
For the 5-10 guard, ending the season on a
strong note helped ease the pain of the
Syracuse upset win. "I feel a lot better. I'

dont mind (taring UNC fans), though I
thought we'd be out there," Hoffman said
pointing from the lockerroom to the
coliseum court, final game.
"People didn't expect us to be here in the
first place," the Columbus, Ohio native
continued. And if they (fans) are going to
shake my hand when we win and talk behind
my back when we lose; then I dont want to
shake their hand."
Ending the season, Hoffman said has "not
really hit me. I'll really anxious to take a rest.
I'm ready to try something else."
Ed Stahl, who against B.C. had one of his
best season performances with 1 6 points and
nine rebounds, said "We still feel we should
be somewhere else right now. But as for me.
now I feel happy about everything. 1 can't
pick out anything a game, a situation or a
championship it's just one big, good
feeling.
"This game helps a lot. But it's a lot more
than that it's those guys in there
(Iockerroom)...to see them smile and know
so many will play next year. They are going
to have one helluva team. Yes, there are
people who think we let them down...we are
not playing for those people," he said.
The consolation win put the final UNC
record at 23-8 and ended three straight
weekends of tournaments. Next year the
leadership of Stahl, Hoffman and Bell will be
missed by this close squad, but Kupchak,
sophomores Tommy LaGarde and Walter
Davis and freshman Phil Ford will also be
one year older. That's what made Stahl smile
as he walked toward the team's bus.
