Friday, October 2, 1981The Daily Tar Heel5 1 ; V V UNC t'onmis" player liEes-io raise a .Jbig racket f v i. DTHfile photo Heidenberger By SHARON KESTER Dili Starr Wriler With refreshing childlike exuberance, sectional tennis . champion Betsy Heidenberger described an upcoming tournament. She spoke not of strategy, but of the scheduled opening night steak dinner, Sea World trip and beer party. . -. "I just couldn't believe it when I went to the Middle Atlantic Championships this summer and found out that 1 had qualified for a trip to California," said UNC's No. 2 singles player, who will compete in the Penn National Invitational, beginning Nov. 2. But such exuberance does not belie the seriousness of this competitor and is, perhaps, the very key to her suc cess. "Do the best you can, I tell myself," Heidenberger said. "If not, too bad, Next time. I really don't try to put the pressure on at all. I try to do other things like going out at night. I run a lot. I'm involved in other sports here, and I don't just keep tennis it." When Florida Southern College became a pressure filled program and failed to meet her needs for some diversions from tennis, Heidenberger transferred to UNC last Fall. At Southern, if you lost, it was terrible.'.' she said. "The difference here at Carolina is that there's a lot of team spirit and team unity is just really great. All of us get along so well and have a good time here. If we do great, that's even better. But, if we lose a close match, we really don't get down in the dumps about it. We still pick ourselves up and decide OK, next match." That pick-yourself-up attitude was instilled at a young " age. "My parents have always said, If you lose, so what. It's just experience and you're getting the chance to travel and meet new people.' No pressure was ever put on me by them, and to this day I'm really grateful." Nor was pressure ever applied by Heidenberger's coaches. "I never had just one coach," she said. "I think that's helped me today in that if I have something wrong with my strokes, I just sort of Figure it out on my own. 1 don't feel like I have to rely on one person or past coach." In Profile: Besty Heidehberger This past summer, Heidenberger figured out how to deal with the weak part of her game - volleying'. "I switched in the early part of the summer to a large-head racket," she said. "I'm gaining the mental confidence I need to handle it." UNC's tennis coach Kitty Harrison is always available for help, she said, but her philosophy was consistent with Heidenberger's own. "Some coaches sit down with their players before a match and say, 'OK, you play this girl like that and you better do this,' " Heidenberger said. "Kitty just says, Do the best you can. You can beat her. If not, she just played better than you today.' This is definitely what a coach should do and not make it seem like the end of the world." Just as defeat is not the end of the world, victory is not the epitome of it either. "We try to keep our attitude casual," Heidenberger said. " We're not a show-off team like Clemson and some of the others. We're underesti mated a little bit, but we show that we can do it, like when we-beat Clemson at the ACC championship last year and did really well in states and regionals. But we're . modest about it." Heidenberger is modest about her individual perfor mances, preferring to talk about team spirit and depth. Having moved to the No. 2 singles position, Heidenberger is looking forward to playing up higher. "I feel I'm ready to play some tougher matches," she said, expressing confidence in her ground stokes. "What helps' I think, is doing these drills of hitting balls cross-court, down-the-line, and I'm able to pretty much run down the opponents." When Heidenberger, an industrial relations major, is, no longer running down opponents, she would like to .work in sales promotion for a company such as Nike or Adidas. But more immediate post-graduation plans in clude traveling throughout the United States and Europe, playing in qualified satellite tournaments, which are a level below the recognized professional circuit. - And similarly, Heidenberger said: "If I do get money and do really well, I'll just continue playing tennis. If I get burned out, say no more. I'll just get some business oriented job that I'll enjoy." Soccer match and cross country run highlight weekend action By LINDA ROBERTSON Assistant Sports Editor Two lopsided soccer victories Wednes day served as target practive for the real war on the field coming up this weekend. The UNC men shut out Elon College 5-0 while the women overwhelmed Duke 1 1-0. Neither team will have much time to savor the wins, however, as the men face third-ranked Clemson Sunday and the women prepare for the. expected show down with George Washington University in the North Carolina Invitational. Junior Mike Reid led the way against Elon, scoring two goals, while Robert Kelly, Tim Ensley and Adam Abronski each scored one. Billy Hartman chipped in two assists and Mike Fiocco had one. ; UNC outshot Elon 34-4 and raised its record to 9-1. The women mowed down Duke in much the same manner they have been routing opponents all season. In fact, they outshot Duke 65-0. Stephanie Zeh, Nancy Gary, Amy Machin and Chrissy Billings knocked in two goals each. Ann Klas, Wendy Green berg and Laurie Gregg had one goal apiece. Tech on delay The cable sports network ESPN will not televise Saturday's UNC-Georgia Tech game live, but instead will show the game on tape at three different times next week: at 9 a.m. Sunday, at 3:30 p.m. Monday and at 9 p.m. Tuesday. The game can be seen on Channel 28 by Village Cable subscribers and on. Channel 23 by Alert Cable patrons. The Elon College game was a' break in the Atlantic Coast Conference gauntlet for the men, who lost 3-2 in overtime to Virginia Sunday and who must win the Clemson match to get back into the ACC title chase. Clemson won eight straight . ACC crowns before being dethroned by Duke last season. This year they are 6-0 overall and 3-0 in the conference and they have already beaten both Duke and N.C. State. ' -. "Really it's a do or die situation," midfielder Mike Fiocco said. "We've al ready lost to Virginia and somebody's got to stop Clemson." Last year's UNC-CIemson clash ended in a 2-2 tie. "If we can score early and take them by surprise, I think we can frustrate them into making some mistakes," senior Adam Abronski said. "This will be the toughest Clemson team we've faced since I've been here." Coach I.M. Ibrahim's Tigers are led by 1979 ACC Player-of-the-Year Nnamdi Nwokocha and striker Mo Tinsley. Six teen of Clemson's 22 players are foreign. "They've brought in another boatload of Africans and they have a lot of talent," UNC coach Anson Dorrance said. "This game and the women's tournament are two highlights of our season." "We have a healthy respect for Clem- son and this game should give us a good idea of how we stand in the ACC and the nation," Gerry O'Donnell said. "We en joy playing them because they play first class soccer." The women's team plays Wjlliam and Mary at 2 p.m. on Saturday, and George Washington plays Randolph-Macon at 4 - p.m. The winners advance to the finals which will be held following the men's game at 2 p.m. Sunday. The women are looking forward to the expected confrontation with George Washington, a squad that UNC nipped 1-0 last year. "It's, kind of a grudge match because their coach doesn't like our coach and they recruit from the same area as we do,"-senior Molly Current said. "They also started a full-fledged varsity program the same year we did. If we beat these Virginia schools, it's pretty indicative of our standing in the region and will help ' our national seeding." , The women are 8-0 on the season and have outscored their last four opponents I fec0K HI $1,011 ADiVilSSlOU ALL SEATS ALL TIMES - 3:00 5:00 "Under the Rainbow" 7:00-9:15 Donald Sutherland Kate Nelligan I EYE OF THE HEEDLE THE Daily Crossword By Marion Moeser ACROSS 1 Showing some temper 6 Alto 10 Lamp part 14 He wrote of Roaring Camp 15 That 16 dePinos 17 Church instrument 18 Hearty fare 20 Money for the hands 22 Hollywood vamp 23 ManyGI's 25 Pod or lateral 2S Stein's friend 29 David's religious consultant 34 Woodwind 35 Talent 3S Beverage . 37 Sea, to a Parisian 33 Baked Southern fare 40 Hide of a young animal 41 "Girl" 42 Songs 43 qua non 44 Hickory tree 48 Caraway liqueur 48 Be sick Yesterday's Puzzle Solved: MALE S f Tb 1 0 1 S I S f 'Mil IfIfI A!

The men's and women's cross country teams hope to follow up impressive per formances at Maryland with strong finishes at the Virginia Invitational Satur day in Charlottesville. The men race fifth ranked East Tennessee as well as top 20 teams Michigan State, Kentucky, Tenn essee and Auburn. "It's a field of 11 teams, so it's a real early season test, but it's necessary to know how good we are so that we don't set goals that are too ridiculous or too high," Coach Don Lockerbie said. The women face a top-ranked field, in . eluding No. 1 Virginia and powerhouses Michigan State and Auburn. They also' must contend with Virginia's exhausting roller-coaster course. '"It will-be really tough to beat Vir ginia, but the score will be much closer than last year's," Janice High said. "Their course is the roughest I've ever seen worse than State's." In other weekend action, volleyball travels to the South Carolina Invitational, baseball plays at UNC-Wilmington, field hockey plays at Virginia and women's golf competes in the Lady Tiger Invita tional in Memphis.

One official at Tech said that the North Carolina game was not viewed as an end-all game and since he had not thrown all week the best bet was that Kelley would not start. The official word from Atlanta is that Kelley is fine. That is what wire services reported Thursday but it does not seem to be the case.; Kelley, who was hurt on a sack in last year's 33-0 loss to UNC, was hurt again in Saturday's 28-15 loss to Memphis State. Then in practice Tuesday he ag gravated the shoulder. Tech coach. Bill Curry said in an interview with The Dai ly Tar Heel, and may not be able to start It is more likely that Southern Metho dist transfer Jim Bob Taylor will start for the Ramblin' Wreck. . Taylor, who was the No. 2 passer in the?Southwest conference in 1979, has! directed four drives in three games fori TechJ He. directed the team to touchdown in the season opening 24-21 shocker over Alabama.. But he hasl fumbled three times and thrown one in- terception thus far. Before Kelley was re-injured Tuesday,! Curry said that for his squad to beat UNC it would have to improve the pass ing game. Curry said that the Tar Heels were a devasting team that had been beating bet-j ter opposition than some people were! giving them credit for.
