6The Daily Tar HeelMonday, April 4, 1988 Sports Shaffner, ECapIan end careers as Tar Heels down N.C. State By KEITH PARSONS Staff Writer Saturday night in Fetzer Gymna sium, an era came to an end. That era was the home gymnastics careers of UNC seniors Stacy Kaplan and Missy Shaffner. Both Kaplan and Shaffner, along with the entire team, have at least one more meet, the NCAA regionals this weekend in Gainesville, Fla. But Saturday night's victory over N.C. State was the conclusion of four years of greatness. "It is hard to imagine our program without Missy and Stacy," head coach Derek Galvin said. "Other girls have helped, but Stacy and Missy have taken our program to a new height. To say we are going to miss them would be a huge understatement." Kaplan and Shaffner, as well as the whole team, finished the regular season in grand style. As a team, the Tar Heels set records for total points (187.85), uneven bars score (47.45) and balance beam score (46.35). Kaplan set records on beam (9.8), vault (9.7) and all-around (38.55). In each case, Kaplan broke her own records. Shaffner, who did not compete on BEST FILM OF oesT 0LS ijJu'VMIN )K1i1 .IWII ' 2:00 7J0 m b a? vfciD (mm td wtm Armorer YfeajMMD mm n?

"I'm very excited for Missy and Stacy," Galvin said. "They both came in with a lot of thunder, and that is the way they went out." Although each team received high scores, Galvin was not convinced. "The judges got locked in with a few high scores early in the routine and then had to give even higher scores when someone bettered it," Galvin said. "Both teams had very good meets, probably the finest meet between the two schools, competitiveness wise, IVe ever seen," he added. The crowd was one of the biggest surprises of the whole meet. Even though Easter was only a day away and the Final Four was underway, the Fetzer Gymnasium bleachers were filled. Galvin had moved the meet from the Carmichael Auditorium to the cozy confines of Fetzer for several reasons, one being because he thought attendence would not be that great. He was pleasantly surprised.

"I hope the audience was pleased with the scores, because it will be a long time before they see scores like this again." Shaffner was pleased with her final home meet, even though she was not able to compete on the floor. "It felt good, being back in Fetzer," said the 5-foot-4 Roanoke, Va., native. "When Stacy and I first got here, all of the meets were held in Fetzer, so it was more like a homecoming." "It was a little weird, because the scores were so high," Shaffner added. "The scores were almost like a fantasy." Kaplan, with her record score, captured the all-around title. UNC freshman Carrie Suto finished third, continuing the ongoing battle between the two. Suto accumulated 38.00 points, also bettering Kaplan's former record. Karen Tart of the Wolfpack finished second, finishing with 38.10 points. Debbie Sigler and Kristin Bilotta also had good meets for the Tar Heels, scoring 36.8 and 36.10 points, respectively. Amy Bincarousky continued her comeback from knee surgery, receiv ing a 9.25 for her bars routine, and Stephanie Richard added a 9.25 on floor and 9.2 on vault. Michele Zafrani, who usually turns in a solid routine on beam, had a few problems and came up with an 8.4. High scores and all, the Kaplan Shaffner era came to a fitting conclusion.

State in Fetzer Gym Shariretts' 3 goals help lacrosse down second-ranked Maryland By JIM MUSE Assistant Sports Editor A midfielder that got away helped the third-ranked UNC lacrosse team down the second-ranked Maryland Terrapins on Sunday afternoon, in a game that was as tough and physical as advertised. Freshman midfielder Doug Shar retts of Luthersville, Md., who was "hardly recruited" by Maryland coach Dick Edell, scored three unassisted goals in the second half, helping UNC defeat the Terrapins for the first time in the regular season since 1984. "It was a good feeling inside," Sharretts said after the game. "It was also good to get back on the coach's good side." Sharretts had been benched in the first half because of a bad week of practice. "I think Doug Sharretts had his best game ever as a Tar Heel," said UNC head coach Willie Scroggs, "after having probably his worst week of practice. Maybe he should practice poorly every week." In what has become an intense and exciting rivalry, the Tar Heels used a slow, deliberate offense to keep the score low and try to stay with the explosive Terrapins. It worked. The win, UNC's third in a row, moved the Tar Heels to 6-1 on the season. Maryland lost its first contest of this year, dropping the Terrapins to 4-1. "I told somebody (Saturday) that it could be one of those old-fashioned games," said North Carolina head coach Willie Scroggs. "With a score of 5-4 or 7-6, something like that. And Baseball drops three on road trip From staff reports The UNC baseball team had a rough weekend, getting clubbed three times on the road by the ACC's two best teams. Losses on Friday and Saturday in Clemson were followed by another setback on Sunday in Atlanta against Georgia Tech. North Carolina's three-day disaster dropped the Tar Heels to 17-12 overall, 4-4 in the ACC. On Friday in Clemson, Tiger pitcher Brian Barnes pitched a perfect game for 7 1 3 innings before settline for a three-hit, 5-2 victory over the lar Heels. Barnes, 5-0, struck out 10 in tossing his third complete game of the year. The Tar Heels broke up his perfect game with back-to-back hits in the eighth inning. Dave Arendas was the tirst to break through for UNC, singling to left. The next batter, Ryan Howison, then laced a run-sconne double off the left-field wall. The Tigers touched UNC starting pitcher Michael Hooe. 5-3. for three runs with two outs in the first inning. ECansas, Oklahoma meet in final From Associated Press reports KANSAS CITY, Mo. - The last time two teams from the same conference met for the national championship in college basketball, the underdog won and matched the mark tor most losses by a champion. tonight at 9 in Kemper Arena. Kansas and Oklahoma of the Big Eight will meet for the title with Kansas an eight-point underdoe and having enough losses to set the record lor most by an NCAA champion. When Villanova beat fellow Bie East member Georgetown in 1985, the Wildcats were 10-point underdogs and the only unranked team in the Final Four. Ditto Kansas this year. You have to be lucky, get some breaks, win a game or two you're not supposed to win," said Kansas coach Larry Brown. - U4 : As it started off like that." But it didn't last, as UNC's def ensive pressure unravelled the Ter rapins, especially in the fourth quarter, and the Tar Heels pulled away with five unanswered goals in the final period. The day began well for the Ter rapins as they scored their first goal just 18 seconds into the game on a point-blank shot by freshman Rob Wurzburger. Maryland then took a 2-0 lead with 3:13 left in the first on an unassisted goal by Daniel Gilday, and things began looking reminiscent of last year's 16-6 thumping of the Tar Heels in College Park. But a slashing call with two min utes remaining gave North Carolina its first extra man opportunity of the day, and 40 seconds later, the Tar Heels converted on a Corey Gavitt goal, getting their foot in the door. The Tar Heels then used their physical, slow-down offense to hold possession of the ball and neither team could gain much of an advan tage, as the two teams grounded out a 4-4 tie at halftime. UNC finally took the lead for good in the third quarter, when Sharretts hit the first of his three unassisted goals with 8:54 to go in the third. North Carolina never trailed again. A rebound goal by junior Mark Tummillo put North Carolina up 7 5 before a spectacular unassisted goal by Maryland's Brendan Hanley. But Sharretts hit his second goal of the day to once again put the Tar Heels up by two. Another Maryland goal, this time Hanley on a give-and-go, put the count at 7-6 and completed the Terrapin scoring for the day. Jerry Brooks singled to right and Mike Milchin followed with his seventh home run of the season. Clemson added another run in the second to go up 3-0. The Tar Heels' other run came in the ninth as Darin Campbell slammed a solo homer to extend his hitting streak to 12 games. In the Saturday afternoon rematch, UNC blew a 3-0 lead and fell 8-5 to the Tigers. Clemson fell behind 3-0 in the top of the fifth, thanks to UNC shortstop Ron Maur er's two-run homer. The Tigers then got nasty in the bottom of the sixth, scoring six times. With two outs, Henry Threadgill on second and the score tied at 3-3, Clemson's Brian Kowitz hit a one hopper back to Tar Heel freshman pitcher Kreg Gresham. Gresham fielded the ball cleanly and tossed it to UNC first baseman Chris Lauria, who simply dropped the ball. That error allowed Threadgill, running with the play, to score from second with the go-ahead run. Clemson added two more runs in Brown should know. He coached the 1980 UCLA team that reached the championship game as a heavy underdog. "That team had nine losses when we started the tournament and we were 8-6 at one time during the season and we came a layup short of winning it all. I just hope the results this time are different." Kansas, 26-1 1, and Oklahoma, 35 3, will meet for the third time this season. Oklahoma won both of the first two meetings, 73-65 and 95-87, and while the Jayhawks have changed a lot this season because of injuries and academic problems, the Sooners and their vaunted pressure defense have remained constant. "I don't know if you can compare their press to any other," said Kansas m - k -.Aywiv, The fourth quarter proved to be the Terrapins' undoing. They began making long, desperate passes which more often than not wound up in Tar Heel sticks. North Carolina began to spread out the Terrapin defense, which made scoring seem effortless. Four Tar Heels accounted for the five fourth-quarter goals, with junior attackman Neill Redfern tallying two of those five, and Chris Galgano, Michael Thomas, and Sharretts, with a beautiful unassisted goal, rounding out the scoring. The Tar Heels' domination of the final quarter showed in the number of shots they took. They outshot the Terrapins 13-7 in the fourth quarter alone, and held a 49-32 margin for the game. That's not bad considering that the second-ranked Terrapins had averaged over 52 shots a game in their four previous victories. UNC did snag 59 ground balls to Maryland's 50, but the Terrapins took 15 faceoffs to UNC's seven. The fact that UNC had so many posses sions, then, is a tribute to the . takeaway capabilities of the team's defense, which stymied Maryland's two-time All-American Tom Wor stell (0 goals, 0 assists) and to a lesser extent, Maryland's leading scorer Brendan Hanley (2 goals, 2 assists). "The final score, I don't think, was real indicative of how close a game it was," Scroggs said. "Down the stretch, we had more possessions than they did, and we started to put a little more pressure on them. We didn't give Maryland a whole lot of good stuff and you can attribute that to the way our guys were playing defense." the seventh to take an 8-3 lead. The Tar Heels then loaded the bases in the top of the eighth, but Clemson's Milchin closed the door to gain his third save of the season. UNC could manage but single runs in the eighth and ninth, the latter courtesy of a Chris DeFranco solo home run, and fell for the second straight day. With the pair of victories, Clemson improved to 27-6 on the season, including 5-0 in the ACC. On Sunday, Tech prevailed 6-2 as John Davis tossed a seven-hitter. UNC's only runs came on solo home runs by Tom Nevin and Dave Aren das, who delivered their dingers in the first and fourth innings, respectively. Tech scored three runs apiece in the fourth and sixth innings off UNC starter Jim Dougherty. Dougherty, 4 2, went the distance, giving up nine hits and two walks, while striking out four. Pat McGuire went 2-foM for the Yellow Jackets and Alan Cape went 2-for-4 with two RBIs. Tech improved to 19-13 overall, 5 3 in the ACC. point guard Kevin Pritchard. "They have the greatest press in the world and they showed that against a great ballhandling team like Arizona." Oklahoma beat the second-ranked Wildcats 86-78 in Saturday's semif inals, forcing Arizona, which had committed just 12 turnovers per game, into nine turnovers in the first half and 15 in the game. "The pace at which we play is hard for some teams to adjust to," Okla homa forward Dave Sieger said Sunday. Pritchard, who had five assists and seven rebounds in the 66-59 semifinal victory over No. 5 Duke, has seen the press twice this season, and it's tougher on him than most point guards because he began playing that position midway through the season.
