The Daily Tar HeelFriday, February 1, 19855 Tar Heels trample Cheyney State,86-47 By MICHAEL PERSINGER St(T Writer Last March, Cheyney State Uni versity brought a rag-tag collection of women to Norfolk, Va., for an NCAA quarterfinal game against North Carolina. The low-budget Lady Wolves, dressed in uniforms that were long overdue for the Goodwill bin, eked out a 73-72 win over the Tar Heels on their way to their second straight Final Four appearance. Thursday night in Carmichael Auditorium, Cheyney sported new uniforms, right down to matching navy blue Adidas warmup suits, and the Lady Wolves looked like a different basketball team. In fact, they were a different basketball team. Only one player who was in Norfolk remains, and it showed as the Tar Heels rolled to a 86-47 win over the Lady Wolves. The fact that the players were different didn't seem to matter to the Tar Heels, who turned on a relentless 2-2-1 full court zone press that Cheyney State never solved to run out to a 45-25 halftime lead. It didn't get any better for the Lady Wolves as the Tar Heels pushed the lead to as much as 42 in the second half in coasting to the win. UNC guard Pam Leake, who finished the evening with 25 points on 11 -of-17 shooting, said the loss to Cheyney in the NCAAs a year ago was a major motivating factor for the Tar Heels. "There are only five of us that are bark frm thnt t-tn rH that name was a close, emotional one for us," Leake said. "This game was to avenge that loss." That the Tar Heels did. With Lady Wolf center and star Ann Strong out with a knee injury, Cheyney State chose to bomb away from the outside, and without much success. Cheyney shot just 33 percent from the floor for the game, with the Lady Wolf guards going a combined 13-for-40. "They probably lost 20 points without Strong," said UNC head coach Jennifer Alley. "They changed their game plan and started shooting from the outside, and it seemed like none of their shots were going in and we were getting good position for the rebound." But the Cheyney State effort was futile because of the Lady Wolves' inability to stop the Tar Heels. UNC seemingly could do nothing wrong. When guards Leake and Pam Hammond, who finished with 16, weren't loose in the open court on the fast break as "the result of one of Cheyney State's 18 turnovers, UNC was setting up the halfcourt game and getting the ball inside to center Dawn Royster, who scored 27 points, most of them from inside. Paulette Bigelow led Cheyney State with 12 points, with Roxanne Asbury adding 1 1 and Panetha McGuire 10. The win raises the Tar Heels to 13-7 overall on the season, 7-2 in the ACC. Cheyney State fell to 8-1 1 on the season. SPRTS Heels try to stop skid in Charlotte this weekend From staff reports Normally the first weekend in February is a time for North Carolina to pick up two easy wins in the North-South Doubleheader. Oh, how times change. Tonight's matchup with The Citadel in the Charlotte Coliseum (7:30 p.m.) could, in fact, be the first time ever that The Citadel beats North Carolina. The time has never been riper for it. The Citadel (11-7, 5-3 in the Southern Conference) has won four games in a row, while North Carolina (14-5, 4-3 in the ACC) is struggling, having lost three of its last four. UNC defeated the Bulldogs in the last-ever North South Doubleheader last season (N.C. State is not involved this year) by a 76-60 score, but that was a long time ago. North Caorlina lost three starters to graduation, but The Citadel's big gun, 6-4 senior Regan Truesdale, will be gunning again tonight. Truesdale was the Southern Conference's Player of the Year for 1983-84, scroing 22 points a game. UNC's Michael Jordan, after last year's game, called Truesdale "awesome." Truesdale is leading the SC this season in scoring (21.9), rebounding (9) and field goal percentage (54.5), and is 30th in the NCAA in scoring. Others, such as Craig Bardo (10.9 points) and Shawn Brown, have to help if the The Citadel is to break its 0-14 skein against the Tar Heels. Furman, meanwhile, has managed two wins against North Carolina in the schools' 23 meetings, but the Paladins shouldn't pull off any upsets. Furman is struggling more than the Tar Heels, with a 4-1 5 record, 1-8 in the Southern Conference. The Tar Heels stomped the Paladins last year, 83-48. Elsewhere in the ACC, the big game of the weekend will be Saturday's Georgia Tech-Maryland game (3:30 p.m., Raycom TV). The Terrapins ( 1 7-4, 4-1 ) currently hold a 1 '2-game lead over second-place Duke ( 1 5 3, 5-3). If Georgia Tech wins, it will move into a tie with the Blue Devils for second. If Maryland wins, it will take a commanding lead in the regular-season race. Duke will play Harvard next on Monday. N.C. State (12-6, 4-3) will travel to Wake Forest (12-6, 3-3) for a 2 p.m. nationally-televised game Saturday (Channel 28 locally). .Clemson will host Delaware State. In national games, Louisville hosts DePaul Saturday at noon (Channel 11); Georgetown hosts Arkansas Sunday at I p.m. (Channel 11); Houston hosts Illinois at 1 p.m. on Channel 28; and UCLA hosts Notre Dame at 3 p.m. on Channel 28. Fencers host 5 Eastern squads The North Carolina fencing team will host five Eastern Region schools tomorrow in a meet slated to begin at 8:30 a.m. in Fetzer Gym. The visiting squads will represent Duke, N.C. State, Ohio State, Northwestern and William & Mary in the one-day event. According to UNC coach Ron Miller, an impressive finish in tomor row's meet should secure the women's squad a position in the Women's regionals, to be held later this spring. Eight teams will advance to the regionals and three of those eight will represent the Eastern Region in the national tournament. Reaching the nationals will be a more cumbersome task. "Three of the top five nationally ranked teams are in our region," Miller said. "We have to reach the regionals and then knock off one of the top three." Tomorrow's meet is divided into five rounds, with round one starting at 8:30 a.m. and subsequent rounds beginning every two hours. UNC will face Ohio State at 8:30, Northwestern at 10:30 and William & Mary (women only) at 4:30.
