Cavaliers topple UNC; Heels still wioless m ACC By NEIL AMATO Alter a lialf 0f subpar play and a key . kcr "ni adjustment by the coach es atf. thc ninth-ranked Virginia Cavaliers' women's basketball team shipped up on Nonh Carolina, 81-63, to hand the Tar I leels their fifth confer ence loss in five tries. In the second 20 minutes at Carmichael Auditorium Monday night, Virginia was too much for UNC, outscoring the Tar Heels 43-25 by employing a full court trap w Inch foiced nine turnovers. Virginia upped its record to 16-3, 4 1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference. North Carolina diopped to 9-8 and 0-5. Hie Tar Heels were led by Kareema Williams, who scored 12 and pulled down six rebounds befoie fouling out. Junior Kim Oden pouied in 10 points, mostly on outside shots, but was also disqualified for fouls. Heather Burge, a 6-4 freshman, led the Cavaliers with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Sophomore TammiReiss and freshman Dena Evans scored 17 apiece and combined for five three-pointers. It was defense in the second half that spelled victory. Virginia forced nine second-half turnovers and held the Tar Heels to 7-of-22 shooting (.318). Vir ginia coach Debbie Ryan credited one of her assistants with the defensive switch. "Coach (Frank) DiLeo noticed that we were playing into their hands in the first half because they were getting it into a half-court contest," Ryan said. "Putting it into a full-court game gives us back our athleticism. They turned the ball over a little bit more and we got some quick baskets." Getting quick scores was something that happened often for Virginia in the second stanza. After a 38-38 halftime score. North Carolina's offensive well ran dry. After a basket by Williams 1:10 into the half, Virginia held the Tar Heels scoreless for nearly six minutes when Oden, who hit 5 of 6 field goals, nailed a 1 6-footer to cut the lead to 5 1 -42. But then, Virginia exploded. The Cavaliers went on a 12-4 run to build a 63-47 lead with 7:26 remaining. Burge whose twin sister Heidi, also 6-4, scored four for the Cavaliers in limited action capped off the spurt with a steal at midcourt that resulted in a near dunk. Yes, a dunk. Burge grazed the rim with her hand as the ball went in off the back of the rim. Can she really dunk? "I can almost do it," the Palos Verdes, Calif, freshman said. "I just can't hold onto the ball." "She's getting there," Ryan said. i know she's not that far away." As that mystery remains unsolved, so does the question of when UNC will start playing 40 minutes of quality basketball. The Tar Heels performed almost to perfection in the fust half, shooting well from the field and the line. In the second half, however, Virginia's press got to them. "That's the first time this year we've had trouble with the press," UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "We played a great first half. If we can put together two halves like the first half, we can beat the No. 9-ranked team in the coun try." Hatchell's sentiments were correct. The Tar Heels held Burge to eight first half points and limited speedy sopho more Dawn Staley, last season's ACC Rookie of the Year, to six in the first 20 minutes and 13 for the game. But Reiss, Burge and Evans domi nated the second half, combining for 30 points. Evans, who provided an offen sive spark off the bench, hit 4 of 8 field goals, including two trifectas.. "I think the second half was typical of Dena's performance," Ryan said. "She has had many minutes and this is a normal performance for her. This is what I expect from her. She creates problems for other teams because they have to deal with another perimeter scorer." 3 irapplers set to tangle with rival State f If v & I . 4 r!y 4 By H. BROCK PAGE Staff Wiiter The North Carolina wrestling team faces rival N.C. State in its first confer ence match tonight at 7:30 p.m. in Carmichael Auditorium. After winning the ACC title five years in a row, the Tar Heels finally took second place to the Wolfpack last ear. Like every match between these two perennial conference powers, tonight's should be significant in de ciding the ACC champion. UNC goes into the meeting with a 6 5 record, but four of those losses came at the hands of schools in the Top 20. The Tar Heels have lost to Penn State and Oklahoma and twice to Iowa State.

The Tar Heels upset 8th-ranked Michigan to finish in eighth place but would have been higher if they had not lost by one point to Oklahoma. In that match, UNC won more classes but forfeited in the 150-pound weight division because of injuries, costing the Tar Heels six points. If North Carolina is going to defeat the Wolfpack, the young members of the team will have to come through again. Seven of the 10 weight classes could be filled by either pure or redshirt freshmen. Three of the freshmen have the ability to contend for national hon ors: Shane Camera in the 167177 pound class, Dean Moscovic at 1 50 and Shawn Hocker at heavyweight. With so much inexperience, the Tar Heels are lucky to have four excellent seniors to provide leadership. All American Doug Wyland, along with Deacons John Welch, Ben Oberly and Darryl Clark provide the experience UNC needs. The Wolfpack are extremely strong at the 118-pound, 142-pound, 150 pound, 177-pound and 190-pound di visions. Lam feels confident that Wyland and Welch should win in the 126-pound and 134-pound classes, respectively. Oberly will have a tough time but has a good chance at winning in the 177-pound division. The crucial individual matches will come in the 142-pound and 150-pound classes. UNC must win those two matches to have a shot at winning the meet. North Carolina must stay aggressive as it has all ear long to be able to hold on for a win against N.C. State. "We need to be an offensive team," Lam said. "We want to try to put our opponents on their backs, because it's nioie exciting that way."

The Deacs, playing without point guard Derrick McQueen, who was out w.ith a sprained ankle, continued their ball-handling follies in the second half, giving the ball up 10 more times. This time, however, the Tar Heels didn't let Wake mistakes go as unnoticed, shoot ing 60 percent from the field to slowly expand a lead they would never relin quish. "We got up on them a little better in the second half," Fox said. "We didn't give them the easy look." Wake forward Sam Ivy led all scor ers with 23 points on 9-of-1 2 shooting. His baseline jumper with 4:27 to play cut the Tar Heel lead to six and kept the alumni from taking off early to beat the traffic. But North Carolina point guard King Rice put the game away for good with a three-point bomb 30 seconds later, upping the Tar Heel lead to nine and leaving the rest up to competent UNC foul shooting. 'That shot was very important," UNC head coach Dean Smith said. "It gave us some breathing room." Rice finished the game with 12 points, six of which came on f ree throws inside the final 1 :25. 1 Ie also had seven assists and five steals. Fox, who made just one of four shots in the first period, missing all three of his three-point attempts (part of a 1 -for-12 first-half performance from the Tar Heels outside the semicircle), started to Wake up in the second 20 minutes, busting 6 of 8 attempts and 2 of 3 three pointers to finish with a team-high 19 points. For those of you wondering why Kenny Harris started in place of Rice and then never saw the court afterward. Rice missed Sunday's piactice with a soie shoulder, and Smith has a policy for that sort of thing. "We have a rule that if you don't practice the day before a game, you don't play," he said. Tor North Carolina, Monday's win was a milestone of sorts. With the vic tory, the Tar Heels moved into a tie with Kentucky for fii st place on college basketball's all-time victory list. Both teams have 1,472 wins. Mens Basketball Monday UNC 73, Wake Forest 61 Wake Forest Ivy 9-1 2 5-7 23. King 2-9 0 0 4. Medlin 1-2 0-0 2. Tucker 5-12 1-211. Cariyle 1-4 1-3 3. Kitley 3-4 0-2 6.
