Eric Str eater seems like the typical
freshman athlete. He's excited about the
football team's chances and he is working
hard to earn an important role on the
squad.
He still manages to squeeze in his
favorite pastimes (art and fishing) between
practices, and he's coping with his
academic load very well.
Streater, the son of a maintenance
worker from Sylva-Webster, N.C., attend
ed a typically small 2A high school, where
he received widespread recognition in.
other sports besides football.
Streater has had his share of ups and
downs, of joy and tragedy. So why is Eric
Streater not just any freshman athlete?
He is part of a legacy chapter three in
the story of a trio of outstanding athletes
linked by a sibling bond.
First there was the eldest brother,
James, 23, who finished a four-year career
at Tennessee in 1980 before moving on to
professional football as a quarterback in
the Canadian Football League.
One year behind James was Steve, an
All-Conference punter and safety, whose
years at Carolina also prepared him for
greater things. If hot for a tragic accident
in 1981, Steve would also be a pro.
Now it's Eric's turn. At 5-feet-ll-inches
tall, 143 pounds, Streater is not exactly one
of the Tar Heels' biggest men. In fact, he's
the smallest.
But then, neither of his brothers was'
big.
"When Jimmy was first starting at Ten
nessee," Streater said, "he told me that
you didn't really have to be big to play
ball. What you don't have in weight, you
have to use to outsmart the other players.'
A. wide receiver for the Tar Heels,
Streater hopes to fill out some more
through the weight training program he is
on.
"You have to work at it," Streater said.
Eric never had trouble dealing with hav
ing to play in the shadow of his brothers.
In fact, his brothers' fame has helped him
progress.
"I always looked up to thera because of
wht they were and what they didyVi
Streater said. -

For the first time in four years the UNC volleyball team
defeated'N.C. State in Raleigh in a regular season game, and
Carolina did it with a 3-1 victory.
The first game demonstrated die strong rivalry between the two
schools as the score remained, close throughout. UNC finally
came out on top 15-12. Donna Meier contributed five kills to the
team's total of 17, with Laura Held and Kim Rose slamming four
a piece.
Yet State got revenge in the second game by cruising to a 7-0
lead, and an eventual 15-3 blowout.
"We lost our concentration," UNC Coach Beth Miller said.
"It was a combination of mental errors and physical errors."
The next two games showed a complete reversal as Sandy
Schmidt had four spikes and Rose, Schmidt and Linda Kantz ac
ed one serve each for a 15-4 win in the third contest. Meier and
Held chipped in nine slams in the fourth game for a 15-7 defeat
and the match. -
v "The last two games we played better and played better
together," said Miller. "We had the mental edge in both games,
and used more of a variety of shots."
Senior Katie Howard, who was injured with a sprained ankle in
Friday's match against Clemson, saw limited action Tuesday,
but should be at full strength this weekend for the Lamar Tour
nament in Beaumont, Texas, Miller said.
The 12-team tournament is divided into two six-team pools.
Carolina is pitted against 18th-ranked New Mexico in the first
round Friday morning, and plays a total of five games Friday and
early Saturday morning. The top four teams in each pool will then
go into single elimination play ranked according to how well they
have played in their pool.
Although UNC has never competed against any of the tourna
ment's teams, Miller expects Louisiana State, New Mexico State,
and Lamar to be strong opponents.
"In Texas," -she said, "a lot of the high school teams are as
good as many college teams."

From Staff Reports
Eric Streater (I) takes time to talk to his brother Steve
... like his brother, he will play football for the Tar Heels
"We always played as best we could; we
never played against each other. Being in
their shadow actually helped me because I
could ask them for advice. They told me to
never quit."
Even now' Streater feels no pressure to
match or better his brothers. "I play up to
my own potential and try not to keep up
with what they did," he said.
Eric was a versatile athlete while attend
ing Sylva-Webster High School. His first
love was, and still is, baseball.
"I played both pitcher and shortstop,
but preferred shortstop because that's
where the action was."

ilpnSrCWLthe offense, defense and specialty
teams. He was voted North Carolina

Back-of-the-Year in 1980, and
Centenary All-American in 1981.
Clemson, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech
and others . wanted his services,, but
Streater had his mind set on Carolina.
life hasn't always been kind to Streater,
however. When Steve's accident last year
ended the dreams of a pro career, the
tragedy hit Eric hard.
"We've always been a close family. I
didn't know how to cope with it at first,
knowing Steve would never walk again,"
he said. "Lots of things went through my
mind. Since Steve could not fulfill his
goals, I decided to work harder to make
my goals higher."
Eric is now more determined than ever
to fulfill the dream that Steve never
realized.
North Carolina's two-time defending
NCAA champion lacrosse team will travel

Despite possessing a 26-game regular
season winning streak, Coach Willie
Scroggs' Tar Heels have never won a fall

golf team will begin play Sunday in the
three-day, 54-hole Taylor Made's Mem
phis Intercollegiate hosted by Memphis
State University. Carolina finished fourth
a year ago in the same tournament.
Coach Dot Gunnells has juggled her
lineup since the ASU tournament and is
looking for at least a Top Five finish in
Memphis. Senior Cathy Reynolds,
sophomore Page Marsh and freshman
Kelly Beck are holdovers from the ASU
lineup. Freshman Cathy Johnston and
sophomore Kathy Evans will be playing in
their first tournaments of the year.
Following a disappointing fourth-place
finish in last week's Blue Ridge Mountain

more nationally ranked opponents this
week. On Saturday, the Tar Heels travel to
Penn State; the 1 98 1 AIAW national cham
pions and this fall's third ranked team with
a 5-1 record. Carolina faces 1981 AIAW
runner-up and the nation's fifth-ranked
team, Temple, on Sunday.
But the 4-2 Tar Heels, who battled nth
ranked Virginia Wednesday night, should
be used to competition by now. They have
already played five teams ranked in the top
20 this year. ?
