8The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, January 19, 1988 Spools Wilson scores 40, women wreck Tech By LANGSTON WERTZ Staff Writer The North Carolina women's basketball team slid into Sunday's game with Georgia Tech on a month-long, five-game losing streak. Obviously, the Tar Heels desperately needed a victory and some big performances. Is 40 points, 17 rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots big enough for you? Those were the numbers UNC forward Kathy Wilson posted in leading the 7-6, 1-2 Tar Heels to a much-needed 82-74 victory over Georgia Tech in the Smith Center. With the loss, Tech feU to 7-5, 1 2. "When somebody's hot, get them the ball," said Wilson, a 6-foot-2 senior from Marietta, Ga. "The team saw I was hot and they got me the ball. (Tech) recruited me so I didn't want to lose to them." The Yellow Jackets, who haven't beaten the Tar Heels in 17 straight games since joining the ACC, brought in what UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell called Tech's best women's team ever and the ACC's two leading scorers. But both Marielle Walker (22.4 points per game) and Dolores Bootz (21.6) could not stop the Wilson onslaught, which ended just one point shy of Tresa Brown's all-time UNC single game scoring record of 41 points set against Virginia in 1984. Did Wilson know she was close to history? "Heck no," she said. "I wasn't paying attention to the record. I just wanted to win." While the six-foot Walker had a horrible day shooting, connect ing on just two of IS shots for a 13 percent clip, Bootz was a terror, nailing 13 of 15 shots en route to ST Iankun 2 "THE WILLIAM VMNSER FOR pc TODAY ra rjisijucs lives is- tfi : MANIRES GOLDSMITHS JEWELERS GEMOLOGISTS GOLDEN SPECIALS 14K Gold Rope Bracelets $2995 1 4K Gold Hoop Earrings 1 45 1 57 A E.

( WRESTLING vs. N.C. State a team-high 32 points. Early on, though, it appeared that neither team could score at all, much less put up the type of numbers that Bootz and Wilson did. Both teams came out cold, and it took two Bootz free throws to open the scoring at the 18:03 mark. Following a Bootz lay-in and Walker's running one-handed scoop shot to give Tech a 6-4 lead, this Family Day at the Smith Center unofficially became Kathy Wilson Day. Wilson scored eight straight points as the Tar Heels established a 14-6 lead with 15:25 left in the first half. Bootz, however, would not be outdone in this duel between two of the ACC's top players. With her running mate Walker stifled by cold shooting and foul trouble, courtesy of Wilson, Bootz took charge. She scored 18 points in the first half, including 10 straight at one point. But it was UNC's Kelli Kennedy who stole Bootz's thunder, nailing a wide open 20-footer at the buzzer to give UNC a 39-34 halftime lead. Walker started off the second half as cold as she did the first, and UNC maintained the lead as Wilson, who had been playing predominantly in the paint, moved out beyond the three-point stripe and hit two treys. Georgia Tech scrapped and fought behind Bootz and a full court press, drawing to within one point, 56-55, with 9:42 left. But Wilson unloaded again. She scored nine straight in this ons laught, and the Tar Heels bolted out to a 65-58 lead. Tech would never contest again as UNC salted away its first win since Dec. 21.

The two day tournament is held every year by UNC, to commem orate the school's former longtime track coach. The tournament featured over 30 different events, and had many exciting moments. The meet was the first of the new year for the Tar Heels. "We wanted to see how aggressive and how competitive our kids were," UNC coach Dennis Craddock said. "The team looked good, we ran against some real tough competition and overall it was a great confidence builder for our athletes. " Many outstanding performances were turned in by the Tar Heels. Among them, Tim Goad's excellent performance in the shot put. The big senior from Claudeville, Va., who played defensive tackle for the foot ball Tar Heels, captured first-place honors in the shot and placed a close second in the 35-pound weight competition. In another field event, UNC sophomore Tom Rentenbach soared to victory in the pole vault. In the running events, the Tar Heel men also enjoyed great success. The most thrilling event of the meet was the 55-meter dash. The event featured an electrifying photo finish between North Carolina's Brad Sullivan and St. Augustine's Tarrell Carpentar, which went to Sullivan by one hundreths of a second. In the mile run, UNC freshman Andy Pflaum edged teammate Paul Cummings by one-half second to take first place. In the men's 880-yard run, Eric Landis sprinted to victory and John Hussy hustled to earn third-place honors. Meanwhile, in the men's 600- Moeasterio-ledl mem splash By DAVE GLENN Staff Wnter The UNC men's swimming team upset a nationally-ranked Clemson squad Saturday in Koury Natato rium, while the women's team suf fered its first loss of the season at the hands of the fifth-ranked Tigers. The men's 12914-8714 victory, led by freshman Marc Ferguson and sophomores Tony Monasterio and Tod Schroeder, improved their record to 3-0 in the ACC and 6-0 overall. The Tigers dropped to 2-2 on the season and 0-2 in conference meets. Tar Heel coach Frank Comfort said he expected his men's team to win the meet, but many of the swimmers were surprised by the margin of victory against the 20th ranked Tigers. Monasterio, a Ponce, Puerto Rico native, won the 200-yard freestyle event in 1:40.68 and placed second to Ferguson in the 500-yard freestyle. Monasterios said the Tar Heels were expecting a much closer score. "From top to bottom, everybody came through for us today," Monas terio said. "We didn't think it would be such a blowout." Schroeder, who won the 50-yard freestyle event in 20.79 and swam on two victorious relay teams, had his own explanation for the Tar Heels' impressive win. In the final tally, UNC won eight of 13 events including all six freestyle races. Comfort said that the freestyle events often separate the winners from the losers.

The young women's team also fared well. The women thoroughly dominated the high-jump competi tion. In order from first place to fifth, here's how they finished: Constance Norwood, Susan Nunn, Kendra Mackey, Hiliary Miller and Martha Thacker. Kelly Joyce hurled her way to a third-place finish in the shot put. The most outstanding woman performer of the day for the Tar Heels, though, was freshman Sharon Couch. "Sharon is definitely one of our strengths in the both the hurdles and swimming meet," Comfort said. "If you don't have good freestyle swimmers, you can be in for a long day." One of Comfort's top freestyle performers is Ferguson, a Honolulu, Hawaii native. Ferguson, who won the 500- and 1000- yard freestyle events with times of 4:36.88 and 9:25.77, said he was pleased with the team's performance for the moment. "We're not over the hump yet," Ferguson said. "This was a great win, but we still have a lot of work to do." Wresting to host Wolfpack By JIM MUSE Staff Writer When the UNC wrestling team takes to the mat against archrival N.C. State tonight at 7:30 in Carmi chael Auditorium, it will be a war. Both teams are laden with talent and tradition, and both want this win badly. The two have combined to win 1 1 of the last 12 ACC championships, and since 1977 neither has finished lower than third in the standings. UNC has taken home six champion ship trophies in that time, including the last four, and the team's "drive for number five" begins tonight against some very stiff competition. Since the biweekly National Wres tling Coaches Association (NCWA) poll last came out on Jan. 6, the 13th ranked Wolfpack has defeated third ranked Penn State, seventh-ranked Lock Haven (Pa.) State, split a pair of matches with 11 -ranked Minne sota, and lost matches to sixth-ranked Northern Iowa and the fourth-ranked defending NCAA champions, Iowa State. The 10-5 Wolfpack is now 1-0 in the conference after defeating Mary land Saturday, while the 12th-ranked Tar Heels are 7-3 following a surpris ingly easy 26-10 defeat of VMI.

Couch leaped to victory in the long jump, sprinted to victory in the 55-meter hurdles, and dashed to a fifth-place finish in the 55 meters. Kim Austin captured second place in the 55-meter hurdles. In the triple jump, sophomore Tracy Cooke earned second place. Third place in the 55-meter dash went to Mackey. The mile run featured a 1-2-3 Tar Heel sweep. Leading the way was Michelle Faherty, taking second was Heather Zimmerman, and rounding out the top three was Karen Sahn. The 440-yard dash was won by Sonya Thomas, with Cammie Put man placing third. In the 880-yard dash, another top three sweep was registered. Earning first was Monica In the women's meet, the defending ACC champion Tigers scored a 164 104 victory over the previously undefeated Tar Heels, improving their record to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the ACC. The Tar Heels' record now stands at 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the ACC. The meet offered the head-to-head match-up of two All-American swimmers Clemson's Jill Bake horn and UNC's Susan O'Brien. Bakehorn and O'Brien are ranked first and second in the nation, respectively, in the 100- and 200-yard backstroke events. Ten teams Penn State, Wisconsin and Iowa State, by a combined margin of 25 points. Individually, State has a load of talent to lead them, including seniors Scott Turner, 11-2-1 and ranked second in the nation at 150 pounds, and Mike Lombardo, 20-1 at heavy weight and ranked third. The Tar Heels, led by senior All American Rob Koll, will have to rely on a young, but very talented team. Koll, looking to become UNC's first ever four-time All-American, is 23 1 with 11 pins this year at three different weight classes and is cur rently the nation's leader at 158 pounds. On Feb. 2, Koll will travel to Cedar Falls, Iowa, to participate in the NCWA All-Star meet, in which the top two wrestlers from each weight class will compete. He sat out Satur day's match with VMI, the last non conference contest before the All-Star meet, because NCAA regulations required him to make room for it on his schedule. A key for the Tar Heels could be the possible return of senior All American Lenny Bernstein, who has been out since November with a knee injury. But even if Bernstein does wrestle tonight, the two-time ACC champion will not be at full strength.

Timika Shafeek stormed to victory in the 600-yard run. "This is the first time weVe seen them in a meet this indoor season. To come back (from the holiday) in this good of shape means that I can let up on them a little bit, or at least if I don't let up I won't have to holler as much," Craddock joked. Next weekend, North Carolina will compete in the Kodak Invitational at East Tennessee State, where over 80 schools will battle. "We are jumping right into a big fire," Craddock said, "and our athletes know this weekend was a good warm-up, but next week will be entirely different." Oemsoe Bakehorn stole the show by beating O'Brien in both backstroke events and contributing to two relay victo ries for the Clemson squad. During the afternoon, the sophomore from Clemson met NCAA qualifying times on three occasions. Bakehorn took the 100-yard back stroke with a time of 56.37 to O'Brien's 57.05. The 200 was even closer, with Bakehorn at 2:01.31 and O'Brien at 2:0 1.59. "This was the first big meet for a lot of our freshmen, and I think they really swam well," Comfort said. being 100 percent," Tar Heel coach Bill Lam said. "We're going to have him back, but I don't know if well use him or not." If Bernstein does wrestle, he will face Turner, a bold task for the nation's second-ranked wrestler at 142 pounds. Other standouts include UNC junior Enzo Catullo, who is 21-2-1 at 142 pounds, and sophomore heavyweight Pat Crowley. Lam added that Jay Landolfo was impressive for the Tar Heels. "He's only a freshman, but he won against Penn State, and he lost a close one to a real good kid from Wisconsin," Lam said. "He's really coming along." Landolfo is 9-6 so far this year, and hails from one of the top prep wrestling programs in the country at Lakewood St. Ed's high school in Lakewood, Ohio. Lam, now in his 15th year in Chapel Hill, knows his team will have its hands full. "They have one of the best teams IVe seen them have in a while," he said. "They have a very well-balanced team, and they just don't have any major weaknesses. If we beat them, it would really help our confidence, but whatever happens, we're the type of team that will just get better each time out." ABORTION To 20 Weeks.
