While freshmen settled in new homes
and upperclassmen enjoyed their last
weekend before the beginning of classes,
the North Carolina women's volleyball
team began a rigid regimen of three-a-day
practices adding up to nine-and-a-half
hours of work each day.
Hard work and a total physical and
mental commitment are the main ingre
dients in new head coach Peggy Bradlcy
Doppcs' recipe for a successful season.
Stretching for that first workout at 7
a.m. and dragging home weary muscles
after 9 p.m. may not seem the ideal way
to spend time in Chapel Hill before classes
start, but the UNC women don't seem to
mind.
"If the girls believe you Ye trying to give
them the best program possible, they'll do
anything," Bradley-Doppes said. "They
don mind because they really want it.
They know they have a reputation to live
up to."
The reputation to which Bradley
Doppes referred is that of the most
successful volleyball program in the ACC.
The UNC women have ruled ACC
volleyball for the past five years, winning
every ACC tournament since its inception
in 1980.
Under nine-year coach Beth Miller, the
Tar Heels won 170 games and lost only
63 over that five-year stretch. They were
invited to the last three national
tournaments.
Bradley-Doppes, who came to Chapel
Hill in July from the University of Miami
(Ohio), said she doesn't feel the reputation
' will be hard to protect, despite the
adjustment of a new coach to offensive

Outlook: Despite going through
transition to new defensive and
offensive systems under new head
coach Bradley-Doppes, the Tar Heels
have excellent chances to continue
their four-year domination of ACC
volleyball. Another ACC tournament

and defensive systems.
I definitely think well win it," she said.
"We have a great group of girls. Skillwise,
they're really good, and mentally, they
want it."
The team lost three seniors, two of
whom started, and has only one senior
returning.
Donna Meier, AH-ACC the past three
years and tournament MVP last fall, has
departed as has AU-ACC Sandy Schmidt,
the 1981 tournament MVP.
Bradley-Doppes said she does not fear
the Tar Heels will suffer from a lack of
star" leadership, however. "We definitely
won rely on a star system or any one
player," she said. "To win, well need
everyone we've got."
When North Carolina opens the season
against UNC Charlotte Sept. 11, it will
especially "need" the team's only senior
and only setter, Linda Kantz.
"She's the quarterback of the team,"
Bradley-Doppes said. "She's a good team
leader and shot blocker, and she's an

excellent competitor." Kantz will be
indispensable in the team's new 5 1
offense, where there are five hitters and
only one setter.
The Tar Heels will also rely heavily on
junior Kim Rose, a 5-11 middle blocker.
Bradley-Doppes called Rose the primary
source of the team's attack and praised
her aggressiveness and court sense. Rose,
who started at middle blocker as a
freshman, is from Tennessee.
Dawn Wood, a sophomore from New
York, has consistently improved and
could be a dominating force at outside
hitter, she said. "With a few more shots,
she could be unstoppable," she said.
Bradley-Doppes said Jill Berkebile,
Heather Ostrem, Krissy Ibach and Mindy
Kindy pould also play big roles.
Maryann Arends, Lynn Greenwood,
and Tammy Fenwick are all freshman
walk-ons. Bradley-Doppes said she may
pick up one more walk-on, but will hold
the squad at 1 1.
Bradley-Doppes said the Sept. 1 1
meeting with UNC-Charlotte, at Carmi
chael Auditorium, will be a good test to
open the season. "We can get used to our
new offensive and defensive systems in a
game situation, get everyone some playing
time, and still have a competitive game."
"We're going to need all the time
between now and then to get used to the
systems," she said. "First we had to accept
them, now we need to implement them."
While Bradley-Doppes does make
predictions for the 1984 Tar Heels, she
refuses to set specific goals, preferring to
take the season "one day at a time;"
"If I can just make this practice
worthwhile, build day by day, the ACC
will be ours," she said.

at 5-9, 160, was considerable one of the
most pleasant surprises of spring
practice.
Earl Winfield, a junior who has started
since late 1982, appears to have flanker
wrapped up. Winfield caught 16 passes
last year for 195 yards and two TDs.
Defensively, Micah Moon will have
the ourden of not only being the leader
of the squad, but of making things
happen on the field. Moon, who will
operate from the outside lineback spot
for the first time, has been tabbed first
team preseason All-American by some
publications.
Moon made a team-high 73 tackles,
along with 27 assists, in 1983 as an inside
linebacker. The shift outside was made
because of the confidence of the coaches
that he could handle a new position, and
to allow him more mobility to roam the
defensive backfield, Crum said.
The other defensive starters back again
are left cornerback Larry James and right
tackle Brian Johnston. Beyond that,
however, experience is at a minimum.
Sophomore Dennis Barron is the
leading candidate at nose guard, while
freshman Reuben Davis has the edge at
the other tackle. Juniors Carl Carr and
Troy Simmons, who are expected to
open at linebacker slots, have little
experience.
The same can be said for Joel Freeze
at outside linebacker and Tim Morrison
at free safety. Senior Barry James, who
played behind Willie Harris for two years
at strong safety, offers moreen the way
of experience.
