Wahoos lead after first day off ACC meet
By CHRIS SPENCER
Staff Writer
Four meet records and a
hungiA University of Virginia
team seeking its first ACC cham
pionship highlighted the first day
of competition in the ACC Men's
Swimming and Diving Cham
pionships Thursday night at
Koury Natatorium.
The 24th-ranked Cavaliers,
who finished the regular season
undefeated in the conference,
racked up 2I9 points, while UNC
came in second with 1 78 and
Clemson finished the day third
with 1 66.
Despite a subpar performance
Duke '"""p1
and that was key." Kenny Smith
said. "In the second half we were just
weren't hitting."
That changed down the stretch,
and in fact five was as close as Duke
would gel. With the score 66-60,
Ferry went up for a three-pointer and
was stuffed by Scott Williams. Curtis
Hunter then scored on a pretty
baseline drive.
The Blue Devils gave it a run,
though, and after Ferry hit a trey
to cut the lead to 72-67, Duke had
a chance to move within three. But
the 6-K) sophomore forced up a shot
and then tossed away an inbounds
pass. From that point, it was a case
of the Tar Heels hitting their free
throws and preventing Duke from
hitting the easy three-pointer.
" I he defensive pressure down the
stretch was an advantage," Smith
said. "We were able to get the good
shots and they started falling."
Those shots did not come with
Tommy Amaker on the court,
thanks to a first-half injury. Amaker
gave way to Quin Snyder in the
second half, and Snyder took over
the point and played with remarka
ble composure.
"Quin played a great game. In the
last 18 or 19 minutes he was just
unbelievable." Ferry said. "As a team
we tried to turn it around, and we
played well in the second half. We
just came up a little short." It seems
boys will be boys, or more aptly , men
will be men.

in the morning trials, the Tar
Heels remained close due to their
strong depth, as seen in two
second-place finishes, in the 400
yard medley relay and by Tod
Schroeder in the 50-yard
freestyle.
The meet began with record
setting, conference championship
defenses in the first two events.
Rick Aronberg of Clemson
smashed his own conference
record in 4:23.34 in the 500-yard
freestyle while Mike Lambert of
Maryland set a pool record as
well as a meet record in the 200

Why not do something this wee
kend that most of you have never
done before?
Attend a University of North
Carolina gymnastics meet in the
sprawling confines of Carmichael
Auditorium Sunday afternoon at 1
p.m. Sprawling confines do not
make for peak performances as the
closeness of little Fetzer Gvms room
1 12 did.
The Tar Heels are hosting William
& Mary and Auburn. That's two
schools and this is the team's first
home meet in more than a month.
The last time the Tar Heels were at
home, they had a record of 2-0. They
have gone on to destroy that clean
record with five straight defeats due
at least in part to injuries to vital
body parts like knees and ankles.
With this being the last home meet
before the ACC tournament is held
here at the end of March, something
needs to go right for the gymnasts
to get back in the swing of things.
That's where all those fans who
have not seen a gymnastics meet, and
thus have had deprived childhoods,
come in. At the gymnastics circus
that N.C. State had two weeks ago.
about 3,500 people showed up to see,
among other things, the two teams
go at each other. Poor William &

medley relay. Todd Weaver of
Virginia bested his conference
record in 20.26 in the night's
closest race, while Virginia broke
their own record in the relay in
3:19.70. Janaka Biyanwila of
Maryland, conference three
meter champion from 1986, won
the one-meter diving competition
in a very impressive performance.
"We would have liked to have

Frank Comfort said. "Virginia

morning, but we really came back
Mary wouldn't know what to do if
3,500 screaming Tar Heel fans filled
Carmichael to see the meet. It would
be like the basketball games the
Indians' semi-team used to have
against the Tar Heels few years ago.
To help prepare for a meet, here
are a few terms that only the most
dedicated gymnast fan would recog
nize and everyone should be familiar
with before Sunday's meet:
B Bounceback: A gymnastics
move that applies to other sports
when a team has lost many compe
titions and comes back with a strong
performance and a win.
B Dean: Either freshman standout
Kelley. who has had solid perfor
mances all year, or dean Donald
Boulton's daughter, who is a senior
co-captain. Has nothing to do with
basketball's dean.
B Galvanie: How sixth-year
coach Derek Galvin hopes to streng
then the team to cut down on injuries
and crush weaker teams.

strong and most everything we
swam tonight was a lifetime best
for us."
Comfort also noted his team's
strong depth. "We had good
consolation swimming and did
very well in the finals," he added.
"It's going to be a tooth-and-nail
meet, and even though both
Clemson and Virginia beat us in
a dual meet, we still can come
back and win the conference
title." he concluded.
The Championships start
today with trials at noon and
finals at 7:30 p.m. and conclude
Saturday at the same times.
Carmichael
SAC Syndrome: Fear of Car
michael taking away the homecourt
advantage because of its size com
pared with Fetzer. Not to be con
fused with the worry of rich alumni
taking the best seats, which is an
incurable SAC disease.
B William and Mary: A terrible
name for a university. Semi
competition for the Tar Heels.
B Missy Amy: As the Georgia
Satellites would sing about one of
the problems lately: "No Missy, no
Amy until we get rid o' these
injuries." That's Missy Shaffner and
Amy Bincarousky who went down
with injuries in the past weeks.
' With these tew terms relating to
UNC gymnastics, a student can
prepare well for an exciting meet this
weekend. You cannot get the picture
of a gymnastics meet on paper, so
go see one. YouH never know what
kind of exciting things you've been
missing if you don't.

Lax9 tenuis teams
to start '87 seasons
By LANGSTON WERTZ
Staff Writer
A relatively quiet week in sport
will blossom into a busy weekend
for the Tar Heels as six different
teams will see action.
The defending NCAA champion
UNC lacrosse team will begin
defense of the title Sunday when
North Carolina takes on the 1986
Division III runnerup, Washington
College, at 2 p.m. at Fetzer Field.
Head coach Willie Scroggs' Tar
Heels are returning 31 of 38 letter
men from last year's Cinderella team
that wrested the championship away
from Virginia in OT, 10-9. The Tar
Heels' main strength should be on
defense where they are returning four
All-America performers. "If you had
to defend a championship, you
would want to do it with the kind
of defense we have returning."
Scroggs said.
On Saturday, the men's tennis
team will look to begin a successful
1987 campaign, coming off its first
losing season in three decades,
against Georgia Tech.
UNC is returning seven lettermen
and four of the top six singles players
from last year's 14-16 squad (4-3 in
the ACC) and head coach Allen
Norris is enthused about this year's
squad.
"Practices generally have been
good and spirited," Norris said. "We
face this year with a little bit of a
different kind of situation than years
past because we have very good
depth. Quite a few people are
fighting for positions in the starting
lineup."
Only three players appear to have
starting spots locked up for the
Georgia Tech matchk scheduled for

1 :30 p.m. at the UNC Tennis Center.
Senior tri-captains Jeff Chambers.
Eddie Stewart and junior David
Pollack make up the triumvirate.
The 34th-ranked Chambers, an
All-America in 1985, had a slightly
disappointing 25-18 campaign in
1986, but still served and volleyed
his way to All-ACC honors.
Stewart must come back from a
pulled stomach muscle which kept
him on the sidelines all last spring.
Stewart was only 4-5 in the fall but
will try to regain the form that earned
him All-ACC honors in 1985. Pol
lack, ranked 60th nationally, is
returning from a 1986 campaign in
which he posted a 32-13 record.
The team will also be in action
Sunday against UNC-Asheville.
Sunday, the UNC gymnasts will
meet Auburn and William & Mary
at 1 p.m. in Carmichael Auditorium.
Also in this busy weekend, the Tar
Heel softball team will start the new
season. With much of last year's 35
13 club back, second-year coach
Donna Papa will watch the 1987
edition host UNC-Wilmington Sat
urday and South Carolina Sunday.
Both contests will begin at noon.
Sylvia Rhyne Hatchell and com
pany, better known as the women's
basketball team, will take on Georgia
Tech in the ACC tournament. UNC.
18-8 overall and 9-5 in the ACC, is
seeded third. Georgia Tech is seeded
sixth and is 14-12. 5-9.
