Sports;
Twos top Heels in yet another ACC soccer shutout
By JASON BATES
Staff Writer
Sunday was a perfect day for the
North Carolina-Maryland men's soc
cer game at Finley Field.
There was plenty of heat (80 degrees
at game time), plenty of sunshine and
Carolina blue skies, plenty of English
accents from the Maryland players and
the world's slowest concession stand.
But a good, well-executed Tar Heel
offense wasn't around to make it a
perfect day for UNC fans.
Good offensive teamwork, crisp
passing and excellent shot selection
was the exception and not the rule for
both teams as UNC fell to the Terra
pins, 2-0, and suffered its third ACC
defeat in a row without scoring a goal.
The Tar Heels continued their roller
coaster ride through the season, follow
ing a shutout win over Elon Wednes
day, by not scoring in the next game.
Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, their
last three wins have been over non
conference opponents and the last three
losses have been in the conference.
Counting Sunday, the Tar Heels have
failed to score in their last three confer
ence games while allowing nine goals.
The Terrapin defense did not help
matters either. Maryland, which has
allowed only one goal in its last three
ACC contests, relied on a breakaway
offense and rarely had fewer than seven
players in its half of the field.
The strategy worked well as UNC
couldn't crack the tough defensive shell
and only managed 13 shots. But more
importantly, Terrapin goalkeeper Car
mine Isaaco only had to save two of the
shots.
If the goal had been about a foot
wider on both sides or about 10 feet
higher many of the Tar Heels shots
might have been on target. But most of
the UNC shots didn't stand a chance of
finding the regulation goal and more
often than not, were retrieved by the
ball boys behind the end line.
The Terrapin offense wasn't exactly
a steamroller either. But if the Terps
had a better grasp of the offside rule the
score could have been much worse, as
they were whistled for seven offsides to
UNC'sone.
"They were holding up an offside
line and it was giving us trouble," said
Maryland coach Alden Shattuck. "If
they do that we have an opportunity to
get clean through, but the timing has to
be meticulous and it's going to miss
most of the time."
Maryland did put all of its offense
skills together a few times, however.
The first score came five minutes
into the second half. Maryland brought
the ball down the left side and crossed
into the box. The Tar Heel defense
cleared the cross, but the rebound came
back into the box where Terrapin John
Garvey knocked the ball into the right
side of the goal past a diving Watson
Jennison.
As soon as the Terps took the lead, it
was an open invitation to keep even

Kentucky won North Carolina's
tournament, the Lady Tar Heel Invita
tional, one month ago, but the Tar Heels
could not return the favor this weekend
at the Lady Kat Invitational in Lexing
ton, Ky. While UNC finished seventh,
Auburn held off a final-round Ken
tucky charge to capture the team title.
Sophomore Debbie Doniger led the
Tar Heels with rounds of 76, 82 and 78
on the 5,993-yard, par-74 Spring Lake
Country Club course. Doniger's tour
nament total of 236 merited a 17th
place individual finish.
"Debbie had a real good tournament,"
UNC coach Dot Gunnells said. "Deb
bie has played number one for me the
last two tournaments. She's an excel
lent leader. It's an unusual role for a
sophomore to be the leader on the team,
but Debbie has taken that role."
Doniger's three-day total of 236 put
her 12 shots back of individual leaders,
Joal Rieder of Auburn and Jayne Lohr
of Kentucky. Lohr shot a 73 in
Saturday's final round to come from
five shots back and force a playoff with

Rieder. After shooting a disappointing
final round of 78, Reider held on to the
individual crown, winning on the third
hole of the sudden death playoff.
Lohr's round highlighted a Wildcat
team score of 307 on the final day. Even
with such a strong round, Kentucky
could not overcome Auburn's 1 5-stroke
lead going into the final day. Auburn's
victory ended Kentucky's six-year
string of Lady Kat titles. Wake Forest
finished third, 14 strokes behind Ken
tucky, with this year's Lady Tar Heel
individual champion Laura
D' Alessandro leading the Deacons with
rounds of 78, 79 and 74. D' Alessandro
placed third individually in the tourna
ment and Deacon teammate Kim Tyrer
was only another two strokes back in
fifth place.
Southern Illinois, Missouri, Alabama
and UNC finished within four strokes
of each other in the fourth through
seventh spots, respectively, in the team
standings. While UNC has used a dif
ferent lineup in each tournament this
fall, Gunnells was pleased with this
group's performance, especially a final
team round of 315.
"We're a young team this year and
some good things happened in this
tournament," Gunnells said. "We had a
couple of good scores from some of the
girls, some of my younger girls."
North Carolina's next tournament
will be October 27-29 in Destin, Fla. at
the Tiger-Tide Invitational, co-hosted
by Auburn and Alabama.
A's go two games up on Giants
From Associated Press reports
OAKLAND, Calif. Give Oakland
credit for pitching, power and proph
ecy and give the Athletics a 2-0 lead in
the World Series.
Oakland again made short work of
San Francisco, beating the Giants 5-1
Sunday night and threatening to turn
the Bay Bridge meeting into a one-way
affair.
Terry Steinbach, playing on a hunch
by Manager Tony La Russa, hit a three
run homer in the fourth inning that
made it 5-1 and ended any suspense.
Rickey Henderson went 3-for-3 with a
walk and now has reached base in 20 of
32 postseason plate appearances.
Mike Moore, Rick Honeycutt and
Dennis Eckersley held the Giants to
four hits, one day after Dave Stewart
shut them out on just five.
San Francisco's only consolation ,
came in ending a 23-inning scoreless
World Series streak that began in 1 962.
Jose Canseco again didn't hit the
ball he did walk twice but the
Athletics didn't need him. He got noth
ing in two at-bats and is hitless in 23
World Series at-bats; the record slump
is 0-for-31 by Detroit's Marvin Owen
in the 1930s.
For the Giants, a dangerous situation
has suddenly gotten, desperate.
Of the 39 teams that took a2-0 lead
in the World Series, 29 went on to win.
Bob Welch, 19-4 lifetime against the
Giants and 6-0 at Candlestick Park,
will pitch for Oakland in Game 3 Tues
day night against Don Robinson, who
has not started since Sept. 25.

more men in their defensive half of the
field, providing an even tougher task to
an already-sputtering UNC offense.
But the determined Maryland team
was not content to sit on their 1 -0 lead.
With 1 1 minutes remaining, junior Ron
Forline collected the ball at midfield
and sprinted down the right wing. He
reached the end line and crossed to
senior Dan Simijoski, who put in the
back of the net to account for the final
score.
The Tar Heels spent the last 10
minutes of the game firing frustration
shots at the Maryland goal.
"There is no excuse for this game,"
said UNC head coach Elmar Bolowich.
"We played poor and Maryland was the
fresher team.
"Right now we are physically Un
able to turn around a game. Some of crur
key players are worn out because we've
had to play them every Wednesday and
Sunday for almost 90 minutes. Every
body is mentally and physically tired."
The loss dropped the Tar Heels, who
haven't won a game in the ACC since
September 9 over Clemson, to 1-3-Tin
the ACC. Maryland upped its confer
ence record to 2-2-1.
"In the last two years, the (ACC)
tournament was always the option ,to
get into the playoffs, and it seems to be
the option this year," Bolowich said.
"We still can make it if we successfully
complete our season. There are four
games left, and if we win them all we
are still in."
Women's cross country takes
third at 'Furman fl invitational I
By MARK ANDERSON
Staff Writer .
In its final tuneup before the ACC
Championships, the North Carolina
women's cross country team finished
third in a field of 17 teams Saturday at
the Furman Invitational in Green
ville, S.C.
"This is the closest we've come
this year to running a complete race,"
said assistant coach Andrew Allden.
Tennessee singed the course for 40
points, topping Auburn with 53 and
the Tar Heels with 71.
"When we came out, I thought we
could win this race," Allden said. "At
about the 1 12 mile mark, I believe
we were winning. From there, Au
burn came on strong and Tennessee
just broke it open."
Allden was satisfied that his team
had been beaten by two quality pro
grams. 'Tennessee beat us up front. They
had a strong first four and their fifth
runner had the race of her life," he said.
"Last time we ran against them, we had
eight in front of her and now she ran
right with our fifth runner. Auburn just
beat us with depth."
UNC was led by fifth-year senior
Chryssa Nicholas, who finished fifth,
and junior Jane Boulter, who was 1 1th.
"Chryssa gave us an excellent per
formance," Allden said. "She ran al
most as fast as she did in last year's
Districts. She and Jane were with the
lead pack at the mile mark and Chryssa
stayed there until the two mile."
Juniors Jeanne Petersen and Karen
Sahn finished 14th and 19th, respec
tively. "Karen ran really strong," Allden
said. "She and Jeanne held back and
then picked people off."
Allden is concerned with the recov
ery of junior Michelle Faherty, who has
been sick for two weeks and finished
22nd.
"She's worked out well, but she's
just not where she wants to be yet,
he said. "We know she can be there
and our goal for the ACC's is to have
Michelle run with our top three."
Sophomore Kit Hoover finished
33rd and senior Kari Krehnbrink was
46th to round out the Tar Heels' tog
seven.
Allden and head coach Dennis
Craddock have been concerned with
the women's mental approach tS
racing this year, and Allden said they;
improved at Furman. r
"We've been running hard thii
year, but we haven't been looking
other teams in the eye," Allden said?
"In terms of aggressiveness, this ii
the best race we've had all year." r
The Tar Heels also gained somej
valuable experience by running a big
meet on the course where they wil
run the District meet next month;;
Allden said that by that time UN(3
will be ready to beat teams like Ten-s
nessee and Auburn. 3
