Oth-ranked wrestlers aim
JASON BATES
Staff Writer
As winter approaches another
perennial top 10 UNC athletic team
is about to awaken.
NO! NO! NO! The basketball tab
is tomorrow. We are referring to the
1989-90 Tar Heel wrestling team,
which is ranked 1 0th in the nation for
preseason.
UNC head coach Bill Lam has
been directing the Tar Heel matmen
for 16 seasons and has a 205-66-3
record, including 16 consecutive
winning season. Of course, that
means the Tar Heels have never had
a losing season under coach Lam.
Not bad, huh?
"I'm excited about the year," Lam
said. "I think we have a real good
combination."
The combination Lam talks about
is four seniors among seven return
ing starters for the Tar Heels. These
returning starters helped last year's
team enter an 18-4-1 record into the
books, equalling the school record
for wins in a season.
"Leadership is always an impor
tant factor," Lam said. "Plus those
four seniors have some talent and
they're all starters."
Doug Wyland is the top returner
for UNC. He was ACC champion
and finished second in the nation last
year at 1 1 8 pounds, recording a 37-2
record and leading the team with 10
falls. He enters this season ranked
No. 1 in the nation at 118.

Joffs ends
By DOUG HOOGERVORST

The senior year often means the end
to an illustrious career for the college
athlete. So, that athlete wants to go out
with a bang, making an impression for
those who follow. Anyone who knows
Lisa Joffs knows she has done just that.
Joffs exemplifies what is possible if
one is truly committed. Her work ethic
sets an example for all to follow.
The 6-foot-1 senior was a basketball
player in high school when a friend
suggested that she try volleyball. Joffs
took the advice to heart, found she liked
the sport and literally played her way to
North Carolina.
"My first coach in high school said if
you play year-round, you may be able
to get a scholarship," Joffs said. "That
got me pysched, and everything was
very positive about volleyball. I was
going to play basketball, but I said
vnah' and played volleyball because I
enjoyed it so much more."
In Boulder, Colo., Joffs began her
career playing club volleyball on a team
more than an hour and a half away.
From November to July, she partici
pated on the United States Volleyball
Association (USVBA) team, and from
Saberhagen wins A.L.

Enzo Catullo ACC champion at 142
pounds and 1988-89 All-American last
year, Glen Pazinko a former ACC
champion at 190 pounds, and heavy
weight Jeff Bradley.
The battle for Catullo's spot is be
tween sophomore Guy Palker and re
dshirt freshman Carmen Catullo, Enzo's
younger brother. The 190-pound class
is up for grabs as the probable starter,
redshirt freshman Larry Harris, has left
the team for personal reasons. The
heavyweight spot is expected to be
filled by freshman Shawn Hocker, one
of the highly touted freshman on the
team this season.
'The freshmen's attitude is tremen
dous," Lam said. "They're hungry to
learn and they don't back away from
anybody."
Along with Hocker, freshmen Dean
Moscovic and Shane Camrera are also
come in with big expectations.
Moscovic made the finals of the first
preseason tournament the Tar Heels
entered, and Lam said Moscovic could
end up starting depending on how he
fares in the East Stroudsburg Open in
Pennsylvania. Camrera pulled cartilage
in his ribs and will probably be re
dshirted. Other possible starters for the Tar
Heels include junior Jay Landolfo, who
was 27-12-3 last year and qualified for
the NCAA tournament, junior Tim
Ellenburger, 11-13-0 last year, and Pete
Welch, who went 15-12-2 in 1988-89.
One goal for the Tar Heels this year
is to regain the ACC championship
from N.C. State. Face it, no matter what
career with a spike
port. They thought I was crazy for a
while there," she said. "I don't think
they thought I was going to do it."
Joffs also needed money to pay for
the trips and tournaments in which her
club team played. Fortunately, Mom
and Dad were there again.
"All the trips I went on took a lot of
money, and so my parents worked
Denver Bronco games in the conces
sion stands selling hotdogs to help fund
my club team," Joffs said.
In fact, Joffs' parents have become
so much a part of her career, they seem
to play the game vicariously.
"Now it's funny in my senior year,
sometimes I'm thinking about whose
more excited to play, them or me,"
Joffs said. "They realize how good it's
been for me, and they've never been on
me to play better or such."
The hard work paid off for Joffs in
terms of scholarship offers from many
schools. However, Joffs chose North
Carolina for its educational quality,
location and growing volleyball pro
gram. "It was a part of the country that
seemed exciting and different than
Colorado," she said. "It's a great edu
cational school and that was my main

sport the Tar Heels face the Wolfpack
it's going to be a hotly contested
battle.
Lam has won six ACC titles dur
ing his tenure at head coach, includ
ing four in a row from 1984-1987.
The Wolfpack stopped the run in
1 988 and repeated as champs in 1 989,
with the Tar Heels finishing second
both years.
"The two we've lost was the dif
ference of one match won or lost in
the semifinals," Lam said. "It's just
always a good rivalry. They have a
good team returning and we feel we
have a good team returning and we
definitely want to get them back."
The Tar Heels have never fin
ished lower than third in the ACC
during Lam's career, but Lam was
quick to point out that State was not
the only team to worry about in the
conference this year. He mentioned
Clemson, Maryland and Virginia as
possible threats to the top two spots
this year.
"It's going to be a tight confer
ence race this year," he said. "Last
year (the conference) had three teams
finish in the Top 20 in the nation, so
the ACC has become pretty com
petitive." "Our team goal is to be in the top
10 at the end of the year, and well
find out really quick if we're that
good," he said.
The Tar Heels have already com
peted in the Eastern Nationals, where
Wyland, Oberly and Welch all cap
tured first place.
priority.
"Also, I knew the volleyball pro
gram here was good and it was a pro
gram that wanted to go somewhere
further. I wanted to be in that kind of
environment."
In the four years Joffs has attended
UNC, the Tar Heel program has begun
to earn the reputation of perennial
power. North Carolina won the Atlan
tic Coast Conference title last season
with Joffs and is the conference's top
team again this season.
Off the volleyball court, the tall and
lanky Joffs is a mild-mannered English
major. An avid fan of music, from '40s
show tunes to Simon and Garfunkel to
James Taylor, Joffs enjoys singing, as
much of the team does. She even ad
mits to being zany on occasion.
"If you add it up, I probably have an
hour a day, just little spurts of just
wackiness," she said. "Sometimes I'm
just a little bit off the wall, and my
friends call me crazy. It's not going out
and getting drunk or anything like that,
they're little things like always having
a song in mind."
On the court, Joffs has fun but is all
business. Co-captain with Sharon Ger
man, Joffs is a vocal leader and con
stantly displays tremendous hustle,
chasing down all stray shots.
"I'm a really intense player. I think
my role on the team is to be, for myself,
a consistent player and set the block,
and, for the team, to be an emotional
force. A lot of people need to concen
trate on their own play, but I'm a better
team player if I'm talking on the floor.
North Carolina's two-year starter at
middle blocker, Joffs has won one ACC
title and hopes to duplicate that feat this
season. But no matter how successful
the team is this season, Joffs has won
the admiration of many with her never-say-die
attitude and work ethic that
have made her a success as a person.

Swimmers dive in;
vs. Florida tonight;
By NEIL AMATO
Staff Writer
UNC swimming coach Frank Com
fort is excited. That word expresses his
attitude about the already-started 1989
90 swim season and the attitude of the
women's and men's teams.
The Tar Heel men and women,
coming off recent wins over Maryland,
take on national powerhouse Florida
tonight at Koury Natatorium at 7:30
p.m. Comfort expects big things from
both squads this year.
"I think the attitude is fantastic, and
that goes back to the captains," Com
fort said. "I'm real excited about the
team's attitude."
For the women, the captains are
senior Cary native Jenny Hinshaw and
junior Karin Andren. On the men's
side, seniors Jed Guenther and Tony
Monasterio captain the unit.
Hinshaw, a backstroker who didn't
swim as a freshman, placed in three
events in the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence meet. "She's worked her way up,"
Comfort said. "It's really been an excit
ing story.".
Andren, probably North Carolina's
finest backstroker, finished sixth in the
ACC meet.
Comfort said the key to the women's
success is developing unity.
"We want to really function well
together as a team in the pool and
away from the pool," Comfort said.
"We want to bring ourselves together at
the right time. We've had the best fall
we've ever had. I'm real excited about
what they've done in training and the
limited competition they've had."
That limited competition has in
cluded the Blue-White Meet, the Tar
Heel Invitational and the meet at Mary
land, which UNC won 177-119. The
women's squad, which is coming off a
second-place ACC finish and a 9-2
dual-meet record, dives into its sched
ule with the meet versus Florida.
"Florida's one of the great programs
in the history of collegiate swimming,"
Comfort said. "Both their men and
women have won NCAA champion
ships and we're excited to have them on
our schedule."
Gone from last year' s UNC women ' s
team are three All-ACC performers:
breaststroker Wendy Powers, freesty
ler Kim Beattie and butterflier Melanie
Buddemeyer. Beattie won the ACC's
50 freestyle while Buddemeyer became
only the third swimmer in ACC history
to win an event four straight years.

Buddemeyer did it in two swims, the
100 and 200 butterflies. ;
The women return several All-ACC
performers: sprint freestylers Jill Benda
and Melissa Douse and sophomore
breaststroker Lisa Brown. Also back
for the UNC women are distance frees
tylers Hannah Turlish, Staci Sawyer
and Susan Leupold. Helping Brown in
breaststroke is junior Heather Notting
ham, who garnered ACC titles in 1988
at both 1 00 and 200 yards. Leupold will
also help out swimming butterfly, where
she placed in the top six in both dis
tances. UNC's balanced diving corps is led
by sophomore Heather Cleevely. The
Pittsburgh native finished in the ACC's
top four in both the one- and three
meter events.
The men, two-time ACC defending
champs, return a talented group ready
to win the conference. Leading the
men's squad is junior John Davis, who
last season captured ACC titles in the
100 and 200 freestyles and the 200 in
dividual medley.
Also returning for the Tar Heels is
freestyler Monasterio, Imer Guenther,
backstroker Matt Countie and junior
Tod Schroeder, who sat out last season
with an injury. In 1988, Schroeder won
the 50 free and placed fourth in the 1 00.
For the past two seasons, the divers
have been key to the men's success;
Senior Ted Hautau, juniors Nunzio
Esposto and Chris Morris and fresh
man Joel Johnson should boost UNC
