it Women's tennis Lady netters travel to nationals looking for a little luck By JOHN FISH Carolina Coach Kitty Harrison says jt will take a lot of luck for her women's tennis squad to fare well in next week's AIAW national championship tournament in Iowa City, Iowa. "I'll be delighted to get in the top 10, but that's probably a dream," Harrison said. "We could surprise them though. It really depends on the luck of the draw." The team seeds and draws for the 26-team, single-elimination tourney will not be known until Sunday though, keeping the netters in suspense about who their first round opponent will be Monday morning. "We could be fed" to the wolves the first round and then place into the consolation bracket or we could go on a couple of rounds and advance," Harrison said. "It's very much luck." , Harrison will stay with the same lineup she used throughout the spring. Freshmen Sandy Fleischman and Jennifer Balent will occupy the top two singles positions and the No. 1 doubles spot. In singles, senior Susie Black" is in the No. 3 position, with Margaret Scott in No. 4, Nancy Davis in No. 5 and Janet Shands in No. 6. The other two doubles teams will be Scott' and Davis in the No. 2 spot and Black and Lisa Dodsen in No. 3. Harrison said she expects eight teams to be seeded in the tourney, probably including University of Southern California, Stanford University, University of Florida and University of Miami. She added there is no way Carolina will be seeded. The team play will be June 4-8 followed by the individual championships June 9-13. UNC freshman sensation Fleischman will be the squad's only participant in the individual competition. She qualified for the honor by placing in the regional tournament May 13. Since the regionals, Fleischman has been the only Tar Heel to see tournament action. She has been playing in aJ California invitational tourney during the past week. The single-elimination individual competition features 64 individual seeds and 32 doubles teams. is mm U U 2 for 1 SPECIAL i i i I OFFER EXPIRES JUNE 7 208 W.
