Fallon can 't be overlooked
r
By SCOTT FOWLER
Slaff Writer
She bounces on her toes, waiting for
the serve. As the ball slices into her
backhand, she curls her body and vicious
ly whips a return at her opponent, who is
rushing the net, forcing a weak volley.
She pounces on it like a cat, crisply strok
ing a crosscourt forehand winner.
That is the type of play that has firmly
entrenched Eileen Fallon at the No. 1
seed on the UNC women's tennis team.
Relying chiefly on her solid baseline
game, the 5-5 sophomore from Old
Bridge, N.J., has won six of her last seven
singles matches and has compiled a 13-3
record at No. 3 doubles with Kiki Vaan
drager, and that's a far cry from Fallon's
rather inauspicious introduction to ten
nis. "My mom and dad were playing (ten
nis) in the street once, and I just started
playing, too," Fallon said.
She progressed from dodging cars to
holding the No. 1 position at St. Mary's
High School in South Amboy, N.J., for
four consescutive years, captured the
state championship as a junior and was a
two-time All-State selection. It was dur
ing her senior year that UNC head coach
Kitty Harrison began recruting her.
"She's one of the main reasons I came
to Carolina," Fallon said of Harrison.
"She's a great coach, and one of my best
friends on and off the court."
And Harrison is very high on her star
performer, who was nearly snared by
Clemson. "Eileen's so easy to work with
and very receptive to advice," Harrison
said. "She's not here for a slide either;
she concentrates a lot on her academics.
She's really a very special girl."
Last year at No. 2 singles, Fallon
boasted a 25-8 slate, while Liz Wachter
and Nancy Boggs split time at the top
seed. This year her record at No. 1 has
hovered around .500. Although her in
dividual marks are not as impressive since
the move, Fallon doesn't seem to mind
much, preferring to talk about the team's
chances for an ACC championship.
"This is the best we've felt since I've
been here," she said. "Last year it was
hard because there were four new players
(Stephanie Rauch, Wachter, Boggs and
Fallon).
"No one really said it, but I think the
December graduation of Margie Brown
(five-time conference champion in singles
and doubles) sort of shook the team up.
There were too many ups and downs, and
we weren't really united. But now, I
really feel the team has come together.
We're preparing for each match in
dividually, and we're really confident."
Probably UNC's toughest competition
for the conference title will come from
Clemson, a team that brings fire to
Fallon's eyes. "(They are) very cocky and
abusive," she said. "Their players are not
very feminine, and they try ... anything to
win."
Fallon and company face the Tigers
Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at the Varsity
Tennis Complex on Country Club Road.
Although the match will have a large
bearing on the ACC team title, Fallon
said the team is not looking ahead of Fri-.
day's William and Mary match. "We're
just taking them one at a time. We can't
afford to overlook anyone."
And certainly, no one, can afford to
overlook Fallon.
Women's tennis crushes Terps
By SCOTT FOWLER
Staff Writer
The UNC women's tennis team smashed
Maryland 9-0 Tuesday to win its eighth
consecutive match and raise its overall
record to 16-11.
The effort was spearheaded by No. 5
seed Stephanie Rauch, who returned to
singles play for the first time since
February 12, when she was injured in a
match against Georgia. Rauch, who has
had surgery on her knees three times in
the last 15 months, moved well and dis
played a strong attacking game as she
won her singles match 7-5, 6-3, and team
ed with Kathy Barton for a 6-3, 6-0 vic
tory at No. 2 doubles.
Two UNC players were taken to three
sets before subduing their opponents.
Barton lost a second-set tiebreaker, but
rebounded for a 6-4, 6-7, 6-2 victory at
No. 2 singles in a match that took three
hours to complete, and freshman Pam
Farnsworth raised her spring singles
record to 12-2 with a come-from-behind
1-6, 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 6 singles.
Perhaps the most impressive singles
win was fashioned by No. 4 seed Nancy
Boggs, who continually frustrated her op
ponent by alternating successful forays to
the net with a cunningly disguised
forehand drop shot in a 7-5, 6-2 win.
In two baseline battles, Eileen Fallon
bested Dani Strieter 7-5, 6-3, and No. 3
seed Liz Wachter won easily, 6-3, 6-2.
In 'doubles action, Boggs teamed with
Julie Kirby at No. 1 doubles for a 7-6, 6-2
win, while Fallon and Kiki Vaandrager
whitewashed Karen Keuner and Horowitz
6-0, 6-0, at No. 3.
UNC will shoot for its ninth win in a
row Friday at home against William and
Mary, and then face Clemson at ho;ne
Saturday in a crucial ACC match.

Jordan named Eastman winner
The Associated Press
NEW YORK Michael Jordan,
North Carolina's AU-American guard,
picked up his latest award Tuesday, then
looked forward to joining the U.S. Olym
pic basketball team.
Jordan became only the second junior
to win the Eastman Award, which is
given annually to the top male collegiate
player as selected by the National
Association of Basketball Coaches.
"I feel very honored," said Jordan, a
6-6 guard who led the ACC in scoring this
year, averaging 19.6 points per game. It
shows that hard work has paid off for
me.
Ralph Sampson of Virginia was the
first junior to win the Eastman Award,
sponsored by Eastman Kodak Company
since 1975. Sampson also won the
prestigious award last year and, with Jor
dan taking the honor this year, it gives the
ACC three consecutive winners.
With North Carolina's surprise NCAA
East Regional semifinal loss to Indiana,
Jordan said he now is looking forward to
the Olympic Trials, April 16-22 in In
dianapolis. He was the leading scorer on
the U.S. Pan American team which won
the gold medal in Caracas, Venezuela,
last summer.
"It'd be a big thrill to have a shot at the
Olympics," Jordan said. "But you never
know if you're going to make it or not.
Anything can happen."
