VA A distinctly Northern flavor Take a walk down Old Mason Farm Road some afternoon and look at the license plates on the cars parked across from the lacrosse practice field. Maryland. New York. Connecticut. New Jersey. Massachusetts. North Carolina might be "First in Freedom," but it's last in this lot. Thirty-two of the 43 players on the UNC lacrosse team come from either New York or Maryland, and only four players list hometowns south of the latter. Three are from Virginia. On ly one, freshman Chris Estes, is from North Carolina. Ironically, the Rocky Mount native wasn't in troduced to lacrosse until he left the state. Estes had never played the game before attending the Loomis Chaffee School, a prep school in Wind sor, Conn. Michael DeSisti "There was just no place to play," he said. Things have changed since Estes was a kid throwing a football with his friends. There are now places to play pre-collegiate lacrosse in North Carolina. But not many especially out side the local area. Chapel Hill High is the only school, public or private, fielding a varsity lacrosse team in North Carolina. The Tigers have to look to Virginia and Maryland for competition. Consider the 161 public high school teams and 12,980 boys the state of New York put on the field last year, and draw your own conclusions. . "I think it can catch on," Estes said. "But it will definitely take a while, because a lot of the Southern schools are slow at picking it up." Ail-American defenseman Randy Cox, of Holbrook, N.Y., said he had no doubts about the sport's permanence in Chapel Hill athletic culture. But he was less certain of its chances for popularity throughout the state, much less across the South. "They're so big on football and basketball," the UNC senior said. "There's no room for lacrosse. (The kids have) got to take a break somewhere." UNC has had somewhat of an oasis effect on lacrosse within North Carolina. The game has grown tremendously in the Chapel Hill com munity, but it has yet to make inroads elsewhere in the state. The same situation exists in Virginia, where all three of the state's public high school teams are in Charlottesville. UVa., like UNC, seems to foster a tremendous amount of interest in the local community, with the ex citement decreasing in direct proportion to the miles. UNC coach Willie Scroggs, a native of Baltimore and former assistant at Johns Hopkins, said the growth of pre-collegiate lacrosse in Chapel Hill since he arrived in 1978 had amazed him. "I would have said when I first came here it could never happen," he said. "We haven't sat there and said we're going to make the community of Chapel Hill play lacrosse, but they sure are doing it." What Scroggs has done has been to donate time, equipment and his players to the Chapel Hill Parks and Recreation lacrosse program, which runs year round. Some of the fruits of this labor will be evident in late April, when a club team from Phillips Junior High School hosts an eight-team tournament, with teams traveling down from Virginia and Maryland to compete. Scroggs also noted signs of progress elsewhere in the state. He said that the superintendent of schools in Wake County was talking about starting a league in that district, and that a group of eight or nine N.C. private schools were past the talking stage and had already set up an independent conference. "Lacrosse fills a very unique need in kids," Scroggs said. "It's not only a wonderful partici pant sport, but it's a wonderful spectator sport, as well. Lacrosse is a natural." Except in the South. N.C. State dropped its program in 1982, leav ing UNC, Virginia and Maryland as the only ACC schools with varsity teams. This meant UNC had the NCAA's only first-rate lacrosse program below the 37th parallel. As a result, Scroggs hasn't had much of a problem recruiting. If his 51-12 record and two national championships can't sell itself, the amenities of Chapel Hill and Southern living provide sufficient added incentive. "When I left New York on my recruiting trip it was 20 degrees," Cox said. "When I got here people were in shorts. It was 60 degrees. To get off the plane and have it change like that I said 'Hey, let's go.' " Which is what most every other UNC lacrosse player said before trading in his "yuse guys" for "y'all" and stocking up on the Coppertone. Tennis teams win, lose against Glemson netters By SCOTT FOWLER and MIKE SANDERS Staff Writers The UNC women's tennis team upset the 12th-ranked Clem son Tigers 5-4 in a crucial ACC match Saturday at the UNC Varsity Courts. The odds against UNC securing its 10th consecutive win seemed long, for Clemson boasted a 7-1 all-time record against the Tar Heels and had won this fall's confrontation 6-3, facing essentially the same Tar Heel lineup. But UNC split the singles with the Tigers and then took two of the three doubles for the match win. Stephanie Rauch, the Tar Heels No. 5 seed, was instrumental in the victory, winning her singles match and then combining with Kathy Barton for the decisive doubles win. Xown 4-5 in the first set of her singles match, Rauch reeled off four straight games to win that set 7-5 and take a 1-0 lead in the second. Her opponent, Jane Neville, saved three match points at 5-3 and forced the second set into a tiebreaker. Neville led the tiebreaker 4-2 before Rauch made a strategy change. "I felt like I was playing not to lose," Rauch said. "So I started playing to win instead. I started trying to do something with the ball and to become more aggressive." Rauch's change in tactics produced immediate results, as she won five straight points to clinch the match. But work still re mained. The overall team score was tied at 3-3 after singles play. And after Clemson won the No. 1 doubles match in straight sets and UNC easily took the No. 3 doubles, Rauch and teammate Kathy Barton found themselves involved in the decisive final match of the day. The UNC duo lost the first set 6-4. But Barton ignited a rally that propelled them to a 4-6, 6-2, 6-2 victory and cinched UNC's biggest win of the season. The men's ACC regular season tennis title may have been decided prematurely Saturday as ninth-ranked Clemson defeated the Tar Heels, 5-4, on the Hinton James Courts. UNC won in singles only at No. 2, where Wayne Hearn downed Rick Rudeen, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 and at No. 6, where Mark DeMattheis defeated Brandon Walters 6-2, 2-6, 7-6. Following DeMattheis' victory, UNC coach Allen Morris said the Tar Heels were "hanging by a thread." "It would almost be impossible to take three doubles matches from a team as good as Clemson," Morris said. The impossible almost happened. UNC's No. 1 doubles team 'of Chambers and Hearn quickly disposed of Clemson's Krantz Cooper team 6-1,6-3. The No. 2 doubles match between the Tar Heels' DeMattheis-Erskine team and Clemson's Nido-Walters team was close, but DeMattheis and Erskine won 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. And in the match that gave the Tigers the victory, Clemson's Rudeen and Frooman defeated the Sarner-Rob Bach team, 5-7, 6-7,6-4.
