' DURHAM There's something
to be said for seeing a project through
to the end.
It's no wonder John Thoden was
tired after the UNC baseball game
against Duke Tuesday. . He pitched
the entire game on only two days rest,
leading the Tar Heels to a 4-2 win
over the Blue Devils.
As if that's not enough, Thoden
gave up just four hits, and, along with
a solid defense, held Duke scoreless
until the bottom of the ninth inning.
It was Thoden's fifth complete
game this season. He leads the ACC
in innings pitched with 71. In those

From staff reports
GREENVALE, N.Y. The
sixth-ranked UNC lacrosse team
snapped a two-game losing streak
on Tuesday afternoon, defeating
.C.W. Post, 9-5, in a tough road
.game.
Dennis Goldstein led the Tar
Heels with two goals and three
assists, while Chris Galgano added
two goals and Michael Thomas
contributed two assists. C.W.
Post's Alex Berman and Pete
French each scored two goals in
a losing cause.
After losing games to top-ranked
Johns Hopkins and ACC foe
Maryland last week, the win pushes
UNC's record to 7-3 on the season.
C.W. Post fell to 1-5, but all five
losses have 'been close losses to
nationally-ranked teams.
The lead flipped back and forth
early. Post jumped out to an early
2-1 lead in the first quarter, but
UNC nailed two straight goals to
push ahead 3-2.

Low-profile feoceirs

With little fanfare and even less fan
support, coach Ron Miller has
directed the UNC men's and women's
varsity fencing teams to national
prominence. Once again both teams
completed their difficult seasons with
winning records and high NCAA
tournament finishes.
'. A lot of people don't realize how
well we are known nationally in the
fencing world," said senior Alicia
Foster.
'. The women's team was supposed
to have a rebuilding year in 1989,
according to coach Miller. But with
seniors Foster, Cheryl Gates and
Ashley Grabs and freshman Lisa
Campi leading the way, the team
compiled a dual meet record of 22
4, went undefeated in the ACC and
finished 11th in the NCAAs.
- We were very deep," coach Miller
added. "Any of (our top four) fencers
could have started for any other team
in the country."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. Bobby
Humphrey, the all-time leading
runner in Alabama football history,
will give up his last year of eligibility
to make himself available for the NFL
supplemental draft, a published
report said Tuesday.
Alabama's director of media rela
tions, Steve Townsend, said Humph
rey will appear at a news conference
Wednesday, but that Humphrey,
recovering from a foot injury suffered
early last season, had not told him
what he has decided.
However, The Birmingham News

71 innings, he has allowed only 67
total baserunners.
"I was a little tired, but we were
able to get away with the win, and
that's what's really important,"
Thoden said. Thoden gave credit to
UNC's defensive players, who exe
cuted double plays in the third,
seventh and eighth innings, for
containing the Duke batters. "(The)
defense was just outstanding."
The first five innings were largely
defensive. UNC's first run came in
the third when Ryan Howison was
hit by a Mike Kotarski pitch, and then
batted in by Tom Nevin, who exe
cuted a perfect squeeze bunt to put
the Tar Heels ahead 1-0.
Carolina a 4-3 edge at halftime.
The Tar Heels took control in
the second half, scoring three
unanswered goals in the third
quarter two in the last 1:18 of
the quarter.
Niell Redfern gave UNC a 5-3
lead early in the quarter, setting the
stage for a last-minute shooting
spree. With 1:18 left, Craig Hass
linger put UNC up 6-3. Then, a
little more than a minute later, with
only three seconds left in the third
quarter, Chip Mayer fired in an
extra-man goal off a Thomas assist
to give UNC a seemingly insur
mountable 7-3 advantage.
UNC coasted the rest of the way,
easily holding off every Post rally
for the win. The two teams traded
two goals in the final period to
account for the final 9-5 score.
C.W. Post goalie Lou Gannotte
made 21 saves, while UNC's Pat
Olmert deflected just eight shots.
Olmert bounced back from a sub
par performance against Johns
Hopkins with a superb showing in
the crease.
UNC attacked the goal with 49
ment. Miller said the key to getting
the bid was beating a lot of tough
competition from outside the region.
"We're in the Mid-Atlantic South
Region, which is the strongest region
nationally," said coach Miller. "It has
the most teams (31) and the most
good teams."
The men's team, meanwhile, ended
the season with an 18-7 dual meet
record and won both the ACC regular
season and conference tournament.
"We had an outstanding year, but
it couldVe been more outstanding,"
commented Miller. "We had some
bad luck early in the season and some
inconsistency late in the season."
In fact the men's dual meet record
could have just as easily been 23-2.
Five of the Tar Heel losses were by
14-13 scores.
The sabre team, spurred by the
one-two finishes of Paul LeBlanc and
Chris Haga, led the men to the
conference tournament champion
ship. Coach Miller praised the sabre
team as having the best season of the
three weapons.
He called the foil the most
coverage to make it worthwhile
should he suffer a career-ending
injury.
Although he was insured for $1
million through Lloyd's of London,
he wanted to purchase at least twice
that amount.
"It would be unprecedented to
increase his coverage in the $2 million
or more range at this stage," an
unidentified Lloyd's of London
representative told the newspaper. "It
might have been possible to get
perhaps another $500,000, but that's
about it."
Humphrey had gained 3,240 career
yards for a 5.6-yard average before
re-injuring his left foot last season.
The paper said Humphrey told
Coach Bill Curry and some team
mates that he will enter either the July
Scoring came to a standstill until
the top of the sixth, when UNC's bats
heated up. With one out, Dave
Arendas led off with a single. After
a long fly-out for the second out, the
stage was set for a two-out rally that
resulted in three more runs for the
Tar Heels.
UNC designated hitter Bobby
Honeycutt sparked the rally when he
reached first base on an error. Todd
Nichols then came to the plate and
connected for the biggest hit of the
game, a line drive double to deep left
field that sent Arendas and Honey
cutt home, and increased UNC's lead
to three.

Virginia at 2 p.m. on Friday.

the most steady performance for the

leading the way.
Despite these honors, the men's
season ended on a bittersweet note
as only LeBlanc was invited to
participate in the NCAA tournament.
Miller was upset that only one
UNC fencer was invited to the
NCAAs. The coach thought more
UNC fencers deserved a chance, and
he filed a formal protest over the
selection method. Miller said the
criteria for selection would be
enforced better next year.
"With one more fencer in the
tournament we wouldVc been in the
top ten," stated Miller. "Both (Haga
and Sawhney) shouIdVc been at the

Stephenson fights back from
injury, returns to action
By ERIC WAGNON
Staff Writer
Senior tennis tri-captain Ann
Stephenson can still detail the scena
rio surrounding her ankle injury. "I
was ahead in the third set when
tragedy occurred," Stephenson said,
looking back to her match at Brigham
Young on March 17.
"It was my ad, and she hit me a
wide forehand, and I hit a forehand,
so the whole court was open,"
Stephenson described. "I was ready
to move to the backhand, but I saw
her hit me another forehand. So my
body weight was going that way, but
my foot just came back this way, and
it just rolled over. It snapped three
times. It was so distinct."
Stephenson, of Columbia, Mo.,
had never before suffered a serious
injury in her career. The doctor told
her that the severity of her sprain was
a 2.9 on a scale of one to three. The
initial prognosis was that she would
be off the court for at least a month.
Stephenson said that she didn't
need a doctor to tell that her injury
was serious. "Not only was it painful,"
she said. "But a lot of things went
through my mind, like whether I was
going to get to play some more. We
hadn't gotten into the ACC yet, and
I felt like the team could do a lot.
Stephenson, a three-year letter
man, entered her senior season
ranked 38th in the national collegiate
singles poll and eighth in the Sou
theast region. Stephenson was enthu
siastic about her last year as a Tar
Heel, because she felt that her junior
year had been successful, based on
her qualifying for the NCAAs.
"It gave me a lot of confidence,"
Stephenson said. "It was a turn
maybe in college tennis for me,
because I was just kind of going
through the motions. Then, my game
turned around. I was much stronger.

11-4.
UNC Coach Mike Roberts said
that Tuesday was the first time
outside of tournament play he had
ever played a pitcher on only two days
rest. Thoden's pitch count was very
low, he said, but if he had thrown
more pitches he would have been
taken out earlier in the'game because
he pitched seven innings Saturday.

Prior to her ankle injury, Stephen
son was on track for a very successful
season with an undefeated string on
the team's trip to California over
spring break. The Tar Heels' oppo
nents on the trip, UC-Irvine, San
Diego and San Diego State, were all
highly competitive squads.
Although she played in the number
three singles position, rather than her
accustomed number one slot, Ste
phenson returned to action last
Friday against Miami to defeat Kerri
Reiter, 6-3, 6-2. After that victory,
Stephenson felt fairly confident about
a smooth return to the court. On
Saturday, Stephenson played against
Kentucky's Caroline Knudten. After
losing 6-2, 6-2, Stephenson said that
the strain of back-to-back matches
was too much for her ankle.

pitcher as if he'd had four or five days
rest," Roberts said.
Roberts said he was upset with
himself when Duke narrowed the
margin in the ninth. "I did a very poor
job of coaching in the ninth, offen
sively," he said. "We should have put
more runs on the board."
He said the team's overall hitting
is improving, but could still be better
in the clutch. "We hit the ball hard,
but we need to hit the ball more
consistently hard, with runners in
scoring position," he added.
The Tar Heels' next chance to hit
the ball harder and farther comes

6-0, 6-0, at number four singles,
Stephenson commented on her pro
gress, saying, "It's not so much that
it hurts, but it just won't get up and
go. It doesn't feel fired up and
pumped."
Although she wore a brace during
the match, Stephenson added that she
may have reinjured the ankle during
the third set. Her doctor's diagnosis
on Monday was that she may have
torn some of the scar tissue from the
old injury. Stephenson, however, is
planning to play today at 2:30 against
N.C. State at the UNC Tennis Center.
Stephenson said she is looking
forward to putting this setback
behind her and fully resuming com
petitive play. She spent more than six
weeks in Europe last summer and said
she enjoyed the experience so much
that it should figure into her post
college plans.
"Before I hang up my competitive
spirit, I'm going to try to play
tournament tennis satellites in
Europe," Stephenson said. "I've
heard so many different stories from
different players. Sometimes you last
and other times it's just mentally
exhausting."
As a journalism major at North
Carolina, Stephenson has also enter
tained the option of possibly going
into public relations, especially in a
position that would be related to
athletics. . . .
Before she goes on to pro, tennis
in Europe or another career, however,
she is concentrating on making the
most of her last collegiate season.
Considering the adversity she has
faced this season with her injury,
Stephenson has fought back courage
ously and has started back on the
competitive road of college tennis.
But such a comeback should be
expected from a young woman who
