The Daily Tar HeelFriday, September 22, 19895 Sports UNC hopes to have Carter By JAMIE ROSENBERG Assistant Sports Editor : The Stones have rolled out of Carter Finley Stadium, and fans in Raleigh will hear music of a different sort this weekend when UNC takes on N.C. State at 1 p.m. Saturday. ' Tar Heel coach Mack Brown and his suad hope to have Wolfpack fans singing the blues, but going up against the country's 1 8th-ranked team, Brown may have trouble just getting satisfac tion. : State had UNC under its thumb last year in a 48-3 drubbing of the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill, and the Pack has jumped to a 3-0 start this season, with all three victories against Atlantic Coast Con ference foes. ! 'The question is, 'Is State as good as they were in the past?"' Brown said in his weekly press conference. iThe answer, apparently, is yes. Volleyball. msy three-match weekenc By NATALIE SEKICKY Staff Writer ; What, besides lots of sleep, are the keys to success when you're playing three volleyball matches in 24 hours? ; '.Focus, relaxation and aggressive play, according to head coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes. ; The North Carolina volleyball team will have ample opporunity to prove that hypothesis this weekend. The Tar Heels host Furman at 7:30 Friday, Ball State at noon Saturday and Wyoming at 7:30 Saturday. All matches will be in Charmichael Auditorium. ! The Tar Heels (6-1) have lost only to 12th-ranked Kentucky this season, but the, youthful team is still stuggling to find its identity, said Doppes. "We're improving each match," she said, "but because we're such a young team, we're fighting to establish our court personal ity. Sometimes we play unbelievably (well. We're very aggressive. We take advantage of our height and quickness. - "But sometimes the inexperience gives us a hesitant, quiet, tentative personality." I .The team is overcoming that incon sistency by simulating games in prac tice, Bradley-Doppes said. But this 'weekend's matches will prove even hiore useful in solving the identity cri sis, because the competition runs the gamut. . Field Hockey gears forOBU Unbeaten Heels look to topple nation's best By NEIL AMATO Staff Writer '' "The scene: Norfolk, Va., November 13, 1988. The game: NCAA field hockey quarterfinals No. 1 Old Dominion versus second-ranked UNC. ODU freshman Marije Jurriens flips a penalty stroke past UNC goalkeeper Evelien Spee with less than 18 minutes remaining. Jurriens' goal gives the Monarchs a 2-1 lead and a trip to the Final Four, where they'll be crowned national champion. '-' This weekend, however, the 4-0 Tar Heels are looking to crown the Mon archs themselves in Norfolk as they take on still-No. 1 and still-undefeated ODU Saturday night at 7 p.m. Sunday, the Tar Heels tangle with another tough squad, sixth-ranked Northeastern. North Carolina coach Karen Shelton said her squad is up for the key contest, but it's not exactly an item of revenge for UNC, whose only two losses last Season came at the sticks of ODU. "I don't know that it's so much re venge," Shelton said. "I think they're just excited about the challenge. It's not the biggest game of the season, but it's the biggest game of the moment. ODU definitely has a mystique." Shelton got to view the Monarchs fh a preseason scrimmage when her squad was very young, especially at the backline. but defensive inexperi i Come ride with us. 4503 Chapel Hill Blvd., Durham 489-7478 "They're moving the ball so much better right now offensively than we felt they did last year at any time," Brown said, "and they're still playing the same dominant defense." So, for the first time this season, UNC (1-1) will face a completely bal anced football team. Kentucky was strong defensively and could run the ball, but the Wildcats lacked a signifi cant passing attack. VMI was, well, VMI. Now, in North Carolina's first ACC matchup of the season, N.C. State will come at the Tar Heels from all sides with a veteran defensive crew, a consistent running game and one of the best quarterbacks around in Shane Montgomery. 'They have no glaring weaknesses on their football team," Brown said. "As you look at them offensively, they're balanced. They're the first team we've played that can throw it as well aimin Furman (5-4) is an up-and-coming team, Bradley-Doppes said. The Pala dins are a step behind the big time, though, and the match should give the Tar Heels a chance to experiment with their new crop of freshmen. "I think it's going to be a team that will give us an opportunity to try out a few different lineups," Bradley-Doppes said. North Carolina will have to switch gears for the Ball State match. 'To go right to Ball State from Furman is tough," Bradley-Doppes said. "They 're a good team. I think it will give us a good opportunity to see if we can turn it on." The Cardinals (8-3) are led by three sophomores. Five-foot-ten Stefanie Decker is the top hitter with 171 kills and a .203 average. Sherry Dunbar, at 6-2, is hitting .324 with 74 kills. At 6-0, Anita Lea averages four kills per game and is hitting .293. The headliner is the confrontation between North Carolina and Wyoming. The Cowboys lost their first five matches of the season but have been on a tear lately, winning four in a row. Included in those wins is an upset of Colorado, ranked 21st at the time. "It's good that Wyoming is our last match," Bradley-Doppes said. "Wyo ming is used to playing high caliber ball. They're a respected program. ence is something ODU has also had to get over. "They're very similar to our team," Shelton said. "They lost a lot in their backfield. They have a very young defense, so they're in the same boat as we are. Originally, I thought they were stronger defensively, but with the de velopment of our defense, we've come a long way and we now have a weapon in our defense." So far, the Tar Heel backs have per formed almost flawlessly. The four some of Terri Buck, Nancy Lang, Jen nifer Clark and Beth Taterosian have aided goalkeeper Evelien Spee in giv ing up only two goals in four wins. And Shelton was quick to point out that the two goals scored against UNC haven't come versus the starting backline. But Shelton didn't want to say that Old Dominion isn't deserving of its No. 1 ranking. "I do think Old Dominion and North Carolina are the two best teams in the country," Shelton said. "I don't think that's a flukey thing by any means. I really think person for person we are a stronger team, but it all comes down to how those 22 young women perform at the given time." Two of those 22 players are midfield ers Imke Lempers and Maaike Hil brand, a pair of Netherlanders on oppo site sides. The Tar Heels' Lempers, a freshman who was named ACC Player igGBGDfiQG'S on sale now with savings up to g high for as run it." From a defensive standpoint, the last person the Tar Heels need to see is Montgomery, who has completed 60 percent of his passes this season for 727 yards and five touchdowns. The 6-1, 178-pound senior may delight in pick ing apart UNC's inexperienced secon dary if the Tar Heels can't keep up. In Torin Dorn, Reggie Clark and Rondell Jones, North Carolina starts three defensive backs who are new at their positions this year. Having them face Montgomery in their third game is like going to a restaurant in Uganda and trying to order a burger. 'This will be a completely new sys tem this weekend for them," Brown said of his secondary. "It will be the first time that those guys have ever played someone that can throw the ball as well as Shane Montgomery, with the experience that he's got. Athlete-to-athlete we're pretty compa rable, but they're used to playing a North Carolina every day of the week." Fifth-year senior Darcy Cudaback tops the Cowboys with a .284 aver age, 4.6 kills per game and 142 on the year. The 6-2 Cudaback was the Western Athletic Conference offen sive player of the year in 1988. Setting Cudaback up is 5-9 senior Chris Lull , whom Wy om ing head coach Mike English calls "one of the best setters in the nation." Lull is averaging 1 1.5 assists per game. The cowboys are thin in the front line. Sophomore Judy Peck is Wyo ming's only middle blocker with col legiate experience. The Cowboys may be hard-pressed to fend off North Carolina's potent offensive attack, which will be fortified by the return of a healty Sharon German. The 1988 ACC MVP, German has been slowed by respiratory problems. Despite playing in only 10 of UNC's 25 games, German leads the team with 3.7 kils per game while hitting .269. Junior Liz Berg is tops in the ACC with .91 aces per game and fifth in the conference with 3.09 kills per game. Add the performance of freshman set terhitter Amy Peistrup to the attack and the outlook brightens for the Tar Heels. Peistrup was fifth nationally last week after hitting . 540. of the Week for her seven-goal per formance in two wins, will be assigned to mark ODU's most dominant player, the imposing Hilbrand. Shelton thinks that honorable men tion All-America Laurel Hershey can take care of another Dutch player, Winnifred Sanders. With that setup, the Tar Heels will boast Leslie Lyness against a basically untested and un known Monarch middie. "If we can neutralize those players and take their effectiveness away but still maintain our effectiveness, then we're going to win the game," Shel ton said. So far this season, Shelton has had nothing bad to say aboout her squad. How can you criticize a team that's scored 29 goals in four games? Yes, the Tar Heels haven't exactly been playing top-flight competition, and that's one reason UNC is ready to take on the Monarchs. "I feel really good with the young women we have in there," Shelton said. "I really feel they'll rise to the occa sion, because they're excited about this game. I hate to say it, but winning 5-0 and 6-0 and 1 1 -0, it gets old. That's not fun. "The fun is to match wits against an opponent of equal or better ability. Everyone looks forward to playing the tough games." ft ' : : VOIXEYBAUL BAUL STATE 12:00 Moon Carmichael - Fii in ley rocEdog no moire Montgomery's favorite target will most likely be senior wide receiver Mike Kavulic. Kavulic, with 18 recep tions for 274 yards, is on a pace to break State's single season records in both categories. Complementing Montgomery and Kavulic on offense will be an adequate running game, led by sophomore tail back Anthony Barber, who leads the team in rushing with 170 yards and two touchdowns this season. Sophomore tailback Tyrone Jackson and senior fullback Todd Varn will also be carry ing the ball. State's defense, which returns All America lineman Ray Agnew and ACC Rookie of the Year Jesse Campbell at strong safety, presents even more bad news for UNC. The Tar Heels only managed six points against Kentucky, The Dodgers won the Series. The Cold War is thawing. Television shows like "Small Wonder" (with that obnox ious little red-haired girlrobot) get programmed on national TV. What more could happen in this crazy ironic world? Well, John (I did it before and I can do it again) Bland could go 10-0 to vault into a first place tie in the DTH Picks of the Week. Yep, it happened. As if that wasn't enough, we pulled off a major coup in the DTH Guest Picker of the Week. Through painstak ing effort, we corralled a gem, nay a prize worthy of greatness. We've got . . .

"Defensively, they're very much like Kentucky," Brown said. "Ray Agnew is one of the dominant defensive line men in the country right now. If you take he and Derek Debnam, two senior tackles, they can give us the same type of problems that the two senior tackles at Kentucky gave us last week in the passing game." Brown plans to stick with Jonathan Hall at quarterback, but even if Hall does manage to get the ball off, he'll still have to contend with Campbell and Fernandus Vincent, who leads the ACC with three interceptions, in the Wolfpack secondary. After Hall's less than impressive 42 yard passing effort against the Wild DTH Picks of the Week fold and Hugh Hefner's wife. Suffice to say we expect to sit back and enjoy this one awhile. We may even walk away with some free Playboy propa ganda. We'll even resist the obvious jokes that could be pulled from the fact that she picked two teams named Trojans, one named Gamecocks and every team with a Tiger-like name. Rawrrrrr. But on to more pressing matters. Bland's perfect week of picks now ties him with Head Honcho Dave (You'll never guess how I got Kim Conrad hah, we did it again) Glenn (9-1 last week) for first place with 22-8 records.

But even then, UNC will have to get by linebackers Billy Ray Hayr.es and Bobby Houston, who lead State with 33 and 25 tackles, respectively. So while on paper North Carolina may be outclassed in just about every category, consistent efforts in the Tar Heel secondary and running game could make this one close.
