Thursday, April 30, 1981 The Daily Tsr Heel1 1 7, 7TTi -7 t? 7? 773 777! 77 771 a t i 1 1 i i n e Dna TV rr t f I reshman year on the UNC lacrosse team was not easy lor Monty Hill. The team finished with a mediocre 6-6 record and was disrupted by ill feelings between some of the players and then-lacrosse coach Paul Doty. Now a senior on the undefeated and nationally second ranked Tar Heel team. Hill said he was glad he stuck with the lacrosse program through all its difficulties. "I was thinking about transferring in my freshman year, because of all the problems, but I stayed and I've had no regrets since," said Hill, a native of Charlottesville, Va. Hill, a three-year starter at attackman, has always been high in the team's scoring statistics. He led the 1979 team with 14 goals and was also the squad's high scorer in last year's NCAA tournament. This year, he leads the Tar Heels with 16 scores. While Hill's individual perforrnance has aiways been good, lacrosse coach Willie Scroggs has brought in young and' talented players to help make the Heels a team success. "Being part of a program that started from hardly anything and worked up to one of the best in the nation has been inspirational," Hill said: "Working with the guys is rewarding." While Hill's four years at Carolina have included the team's first trip to the NCAA semifinals and its highest ranking ever in the national pells, the bisst moment of his lacrosse career at Carolina came this year with a 13-12 overtime win over Maryland for UNC's first victory in 17 tries against the Terps, he said. Hill credits the excellence of the athletic program at Carolina for helping the lacrosse team in its rapid ascent to the top of the sport's elite. "It's just that the Carolina tradition has made everyone on the team a winner," he said. "The attitude of the team members is great." , Although 4his season has already been a successful one for Hill and the lacrosse team, which has three vic tories over Top Ten ranked teams, it is far from over. The Heels meet N.C. State at 2 p.m. Saturday on Fetzer Field, A win over the Wolfpack would give Carolina its first outright Atlantic Coast Conference lacrosse title. UNC has already clinched a tie for the crown. After the regular season, Carolina is almost guaran teed a spot in the NCAA tournament. "I see a big future for lacrosse at Carolina as long as Coach Scroggs is here," Hill said. "I see a national championship soon, maybe even this year." i- r 4 r t -1 ": tlv GEOFFREY MOCK Monty Hill v ? : V 40v 4 , V '. i.' V.- Tennis looko for Region II title vywiwpni..ytm,...

The ninth-ranked Tar Heels won their third straight NCAIAW title last Sunday by beating both N.C. State and Duke by 9-0 scores. Team captain Lloyd Hatcher won the individual championship and will com pete along with teammates Kathy Barton and Betsy Heidenberger, who rounded out the top three finishers in the individual competition in the regionals. "I'm excited about going to the tour nament,, but I can't say that I have a good chance to win, because it just de pends on how well I play," Hatcher said. "I'm pretty confident about the rest of the team." Two teams Hatcher and Katherine Hogan and Heidenberger and Margie Brown will advance in doubles com petition. Hatcher and Hogan defeated Heidenberger and Brown in the finals of the state tournament 6-1, 6-7, 6-3. "I think Lloyd and I should do well in the tournament," Hogan said. "We lost to the Kellys from Tennessee and to the Clemson team, but they were both close matches. We've been playing better to gether, so I don't see any reason why we couldn't win the doubles title." UNC will be the No. 1 seed. "Barring injury, I think we should do well enough in the regionals to advance to the nationals," Coach Kitty Harrison said. , , "Besides the team competition, 1 think we should make good showings in the in dividual competitions in both the singles and the doubles." . Only two singles players, one doubles pair and one team will advance to the na tional tournament, which will be held June 3-10 in Tempe, Ariz. There will also be nine at-Iarge bids, so if the Tar Heels make a good showing but don't win the regional tournament, they could still advance on the basis of their 20-2 regular season record and their national ranking. By GEOFFREY MOCK Ass&taal Sports Kdilor As if a game between North Carolina and N.C. State needed any extra drama, the Tar Heel and Wolfpack lacrosse teams decided to up the ante for their contest at 2 p.m. Saturday at Fetzer Field. It is not just for bragging rights. It's for the Atlantic Coast Conference and Carmichael Cup titles. . Carolina, which will enter the game with a 3-0 conference record, has clinched at last a tie for its first-ever ACC title in lacrosse. A victory over State would give the Tar Heels the championship outright, but a loss would force Carolina to settle for a tie with Virginia, which has finished its ACC schedule with a 3-1 record. - With an outright championship in la crosse, Carolina would finish in a tie with State for the Carmichael Cup. La crosse b the only sport left to be counted, and State has a three-point lead over the second-place Tar Heels. A Carolina win Saturday would give UNC eight points for the ACC crown and State five points for its fourth-place finish in the sport, leaving both teams tied for the title with 60 points. A State win would give it the cup outright. Win or lose, State has already become the first ACC school other than UNC or Maryland to take at least a share of the crown. The game also will be instrumental in determining seeding for the NCAA tour nament. UNC coach Willie Scroggs said both teams had a good chance of being extended bids to the tournament but that a win by the Tar Heels should clinch a seed high enough to provide a home field advantage for their Opening game. "We're very pleased that we went un defeated on the road this season," Scroggs said. "That's a great accom plishment. But you never know what will happen on the road, and I feel good about playing at home and getting good fan support." Only eight teams are invited to the tournament, and the game may make the difference for whether State, ranked ninth in the nation with a 7-3 record, re ceives a bid. However, Scroggs said the game was just as important to the Heels as it was for the Wolfpack. "This game at this late time in the year always has some impact on the post season picture because of the caliber of the teams. The last couple of regular season games are always important." Although Carolina has won five of the eight games between the two learns. State has won the last three games, in cluding a 20-15 triumph over the Heels last year in Raleigh. State's All-America attackman Stan Cockerton has graduated, but the Wolfpack still boast a strong offense led by seniors Scott Nelson and Jon Swerdloff, who have combined for 62 goals in 10 games. "State has a very sound attack unit," Scroggs said. -"They're very explosive.' The key is just like when we beat the ' University of Maryland-Baltimore County, It will be our defense against their of fense. We have to control the ball and put the pressure on the State defense to stop us." Carolina is coming off a 20-13 victory over Roanoke Tuesday in Salem, Va. Carolina jumped to an 11-3 and nearly made a rout of it in the first half, but a second-half Roanoke rally made the game close. "We got out to that big first-half lead, and maybe we let down some," Scroggs said. "But Roanoke came out fired up in the second half and scored two quick goals. They had some emotion and zip and they scored twice more to make it , 1 1-7. From there the game evened out." Roanoke is ranked fourth in Division III, but Scroggs said he was not sur prised by the cb!lfp?e FvOoVe pave the Heels. "I h.vi skii?. tfHp?$bcli&( Roanoke," he said. "They d.dn t step when they were down, but they came back and fought hard. "We lost some intensity in the third period, but that's to be expected with the lead, and we played well. It never got to a point that I thought Roanoke would take the lead." , Oirolina completes its regular-season schedule against Washington & Lee at 2 p.m, May 10 at Fetzer Field. The opening round of the eight-team NCAA tourna ment will be held May 20. urates By LINDA ROBERTSON Staff Writer Skip Miller loves to hurdle. "Put a row of hurdles in front of me and I can run them all day long," the senior co-captain of the track team said. "On the other hand, when it comes to intervals or hills, I've really got to reach down for self-motivation." Miller's specialty during his four-year varsity career at UNC has been the high" hurdlesv1 His5 best lirne 'in' th 60-tnetern hurdles indoors is 7.1 and he holds a per- ' sonal record of 13.9 for the 110 hurdles outdoors. Miller has also been an outstanding performer on Carolina's relay teams. He was lead-off man when the 1,600-meter relay and the 400-meter relay set school records of 3:10.5 and 40.6, respectively. But Miller prefers the hurdles. "Some people will say you're a hurdler because you're not fast enough to run anything else, but to be a hurdler you have to be extremely quick," Miller said. Miller was Carolina Relays champion in the 1 10 hurdles and has finished third in the ACC in that event two years in a row. This year he qualified for the NCAA National Indoor meet in the hur dles and mile relay. He has been All-ACC and an ACC finalist every season and this year was chosen co-captain along with middle-distance man Kevin Lockerbie. "Being picked co-captain, qualifying for nationals indoors, winning the Carolina Relays and placing in the ACC outdoors as a freshman are big highlights," Miller said. "In that race as a freshman, I can say I was in one of the races when Renaldo (Nehemiah) got beat. I can't say I remem ber it tod ell "because wheri the'giin went' t Off,. they ; were. gone...;.. f . Miller started hurdling as a junior in high school in Charlotte after giving up high jumping. "You really have to be a perfectionist," the psychology major said. "Those hur dles are 42 inches tall and you have to put in a lot of time refining your tech nique and doing weights." Miller plans to continue running after graduate with his goal being the 1934 Olympic Trials. "All-America Jeff Howscr, Olympian Charles Foster, Olympic coach Leroy Walker and Coach Joe Hilton have help ed me the most," Miller said. "But the memories of the guys on the team make it really special. It's all been part of a grqwing-up process." y n n no n WWCU ?f(2 W(S(S no , no S -m m " f j ' !!) ( iil'i'i'Jl '! I m.4 i;:s --.
