8The Daily Tar HeelThursday, October 20, 1988 Sports I with hau l do race Freshman Wachsman makin im on men s soccer big pact By JAMIE ROSENBERG StaffWriter At first sight, Richard Wachsman may look as if, mildly put, he has not quite gotten the hang of the soccer throw-in. When Wachsman, a freshman sweeper on the men's team, throws the ball in, he takes a running start, lets go a mighty heave and promptly falls flat on his face every time. But the funny thing is the ball sails halfway across the field and right in front of the goal every time. "1 don't care if he falls on his nose as long as the ball goes in the goal mouth,' UNC assistant coach Elmar Bolowich said. In fact, Wachsman's combination of slapstick and remarkable distance actually earned him a reputation of sorts at Jesuit College Prep School in Dallas. , "Girls would come to the games just to watch him throw the ball in," said midfielder Matt Morgan, a fellow Texan and club soccer teammate. Sophomore forward Derek Mis simo, who has been the grateful recipient of some of Wachsman's bombs, likened him to a football quarterback. "When he throws it in it's like John Elway throwing to the Three Ami gos," he said. Wachsman, 5-foot-ll and 160 pounds, developed his act innocently enough. "Two years ago a friend and I were just messing around and he said, 'Why dont you fall?' I tried it and ever since then it's worked," he said. "I guess it keeps your momentum going." Wachsman has some momentum going within the sidelines, too. As a steady force at one of the game's most important positions, he has been a major factor in the Tar Heel turna round. That turnaround has seen the team win four straight games, going from a dismal 4-6-1 to a respectable 8-6-1.

' But at the start of the season, Wachsman's place on the team was about as awkward as his throwing motion. A self-described "game player" who has trouble looking good in practice, he played so inconsist ently in the preseason that, in late September, Bolowich and head coach Anson Dorrance even decided to redshirt him. "I had a meeting with Anson and he said, 'I think it would be the best thing for you to redshirt so you can gain some weight and put on some muscle.' " Wachsman said. "I was really frustrated, but at the time I thought it probably was the best thing, too, because in practice I was inconsistent." So Wachsman rode the bench and did not travel . with the team for its first eight games, during which North Carolina went 3-5 and 0-2 in the ACC. If it weren't for a concussion suffered by midfielder Donald Cogs ville in a 2-1 loss to Duke, he might still be there. Cogsville's injury, however, forced Dorrance to move midfielder Chad Ashton, who was then playing sweeper, back to his familiar position and take a chance on Wachsman in the team's next game against the College of Charleston. "That was the chance for him to step in," Bolowich said, "and he played pretty convincing." So convincing, in fact, that Wachs man has started every game since and the Tar Heels have gone 5-1-1 with him in there. "It seemed like I was the missing link," he said. "But it's not just me. People were getting back into the positions that they were used to. Chad got to go back to his regular position and Donald got to go back up front." Wachsman, who played sweeper in high school and club ball, did seem to solve one of the team's biggest problems. "Basically, we tried a couple of players in the sweeper position and CARE practice offers " care includina: TRIANGLE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER Dr., Suite 402, Chapel Hill, NO 0011 or 942-0824 Across from University Mall : : -n Game on Oct. 29, f rt u u w , : " ... : ti i v si . - - !:::: Before all were a disappointment," Bolowich said. "But Richard is the sort of player that stabilizes the back. He's strong in the air, he's technically really good and he's reading the game well." Squash? No thanks, this writer already ate I have the freshman woes. It has nothing to do with being homesick or overburdened with classes or even social rejection. It's not really a problem most of you could relate to, and I don't think anything could have been done to prevent it. After all, we freshmen have been well-coddled to face the traumas of. college life. With stimulating programs like C-TOPS and orienta tion week, how could we not be? But still I have the woes. Woes, actually, is an acronym. It stands for Western Orientation to Eastern Sports. Being from California, I had heard all the stories back home about what a culture shock coming to the South would be. I would have to get used to people saying "bah" instead of "bye," and Yd have to learn to eat Southern cooking (it actually did take On Tap TODAY WOMEN'S SOCCER vs. .

But nobody warned me in the least that Yd have to learn about and adjust to a whole messof sports that have yet to make it past the Rockies. Take, for example, this uncom fortable situation: I'm walking past Woollen- Gym, minding my own business, when I bump into one of my New Englander friends. "Hey, how Tout some squash?" he says. "No thanks, I'm not hungry," I reply and then wait patiently while he convulses with laughter. ' But is this ignorance really my fault? I mean, to most Californians, field hockey is croquet, crew is sailing without wind and lacrosse is some French religious symbol. If it weren't for ESPN, we may never have even heard these terms. And if it weren't for Wayne Gretzky's arrival in L. A., hockey would just be a blur.
