UNC hoopla: Men edge 9Nova;
Tar Heels continue Big East feast, upend 'Cats
By Mark Anderson
Senior Writer
Just apply pressure, then watch them
collapse.
If those are the simple instructions
for defeating Big East teams, North
Carolina has learned well. In its two
games against Big East foes this year, a
stifling UNC defense has caused shoot
ing percentages to deflate.
Sunday, it was Villanova. The then-14th-ranked
Tar Heels held the Wild
cats to 33.3-percent shooting in a 76-64
win before 21,348 at the Smith Center.
UNC (13-2) pushed its winning streak
to three, while stopping the Villanova
run at four and dropping the Wildcats to
6-7. UNC moved to 10th in the Associ
ated Press poll released Monday.
"We played a very, very good bas
ketball game," said Villanova head
coach Rollie Massimino, "other than
shooting the ball as well as we antici
pated." The Wildcats' woes were part of a
string of dominating defensive perfor
mances by UNC against B ig East teams.
Last year, Connecticut shot 37.7 per
centagainst the Tar Heels, and Villanova
managed 41.4 percent against UNC in
the NCAAs. Earlier this season, the Tar
Heels held Seton Hall to 32.8 percent.
"A lot of their offensive problems
were because we took them out of their
offensive realm," UNC guard Hubert
Davis said of Villanova. "They're a
team that runs a lot of set plays. With
our defensive pressure and traps, it put
them in a freelance offense. They're not
used to that."
It certainly showed. The Wildcats
finished the game with more turnovers
(2 1 ) than field goals ( 1 8). Lance Miller,
Villanova's leading scorer this season,
hit 2 of 14 shots and finished with 1 1
points. Chris Walker led the Wildcats
with IS, and Greg Woodard added 1 1.
UNC withstood foul trouble and blew
open a tight game with a 16-4 run mid
way through the second half. The Tar
Heels put Villanova in the bonus in four
minutes, and point guard Derrick Phelps
picked up his fourth foul at the 17:20
mark.
With Henrik Rodl filling in well at
the point and George Lynch contribut
ing seven points, the Tar Heels built a
62-44 lead with 6:43 remaining.
"George played extremely well,"
Massimino said. "In the second half, he
just went after it. He's an outstanding
basketball player and a terrific competi
tor." Two three-point plays by Walker
narrowed the margin to 64-58 with 4: 1 5
left, but UNC held off 'Nova's charge
largely due to Lynch's efforts.

"George Lynch was just tremendous
throughout the day," said UNC head
coach Dean Smith. "He did a good
defensive job on (Marc) Dowdell, in
addition to his rebounding. Certainly he
scored for us and got some important
offensive rebounds."
Lynch finished with 17 points and 1 1
rebounds and held Dowdell to nine
points. Davis led UNC in scoring with
1 9, and Brian Reese and Eric Montross
each added nine. Lynch said his recent
scoring outburst resulted from his ad
justment to his offensive role.
"I'm feeling a little more comfort
able with the type of shots I'm going to
take," Lynch said. "Taking the ball to
the basket is important to me. With my
quickness, I can take it to the basket and
try to draw the fouls."
Lynch, who scored 26 points and
grabbed nine rebounds against Wake
Forest Thursday, said his inspired play
stemmed from an attitude adjustment.
"I should have been playing a little
harder," Lynch said. "Some games, I
just sit back and let my game come to
me, and sometimes I have to make things
happen.
"Like against Wake Forest, Icouldn't
sit back and wait for someone to pass
me the ball. I had to go out there and
really call for the ball. I think that's
made a big difference in my game."
Sunday, both teams started slowly,
apparently attempting to put a national
television audience to sleep. Villanova
led 5-2 after four minutes of a half that
featured more turnovers (21) than field
goals (20).
A Woodard 3-pointer gave Villanova
its biggest lead of the game at 12-8.
UNC answered with an 8-2 run of its

North Carolina junior George Lynch slams
Colonials
North Carolina head coach Derek
Galvin said he was pleased with UNC's
performance on the floor exercise, the
only event the Tar Heels won, and with
the team's balance beam performance.
"I felt the overall quality of routines
was better than last week," Galvin said.
Last week, UNC defeated Maryland
184.85-183.60.
In the individual all-around competi
tion, North Carolina's Tracy Knowles,
Shannon Stacy and Alisa Musser fin
ished third, fifth and sixth. Colonials
Nancy Plaskett and Kathy Goonan tied
for first place, edging Knowles by two
tenths of a point.
Plaskett garnered the highest mark of
the meet, a 9.80 for her balance beam
routine. Knowles tied Plaskett for first
on the floor exercise with a 9.55.
Galvin said Longwood was included
in the meet at its request. "They do a lot
with the resources they have, but they
just don't have a program that can be
competitive with a program like ours."
UNC's head coach did not echo that
sentiment when discussing the
Colonials. "George Washington Uni
versity has a very good program," Galvin
said.
Galvin said this year's Colonial squad
was an experienced one. "They returned
their entire team from last year, plus
they have some freshmen who did re
ally well today," Galvin said. "We knew
that going into this meet, we were going
to have to have a really good meet to
stay with GW."
Fatigue may have factored into the
Tar Heels' defeat, Galvin said. "I think
part of it is that they're a little bit tired.
We've been working hard. We got
through that first meet well, and part of
that was emotional. Now, this isn't the
first meet anymore.
"They're getting stronger, but I don't
think they were as fresh today."

Grapplers buck Bison
in home-opening meet
By Matt Johnson
Staff Writer
; The Bucknell wrestling team came
to Carmichael Auditorium Saturday
evening in search of an upset victory
against 11 th-ranked North Carolina,
but it was the Tar Heels who stam
peded to victory against the Bison,
coming away with a 26-16 victory.
The Tar Heels (5-3) entered the
meet riding the momentum of their
showing at the Virginia Duals the pre
vious weekend. In that tourney. North
Carolina went undefeated in four
matches, notching three victoriesover
ranked opponents, to capture its first
Virginia Duals crown since 1983.
Bucknell (2-5) entered the meet
having lost to several nationally ranked
teams, includingN.CState.Penn State
and Lock Haven.
The Tar Heels' recent victory march
had not been without its casualties,
however. Sophomore Ty Moore,
ranked fifth in thenation at 1 1 8 pounds,
twisted his knee in UNC's victory
against Navy. Moore returned to prac
tice Saturday, but was held out of
action in anticipation of Thursday's
contest against N.C. State.
Moore's injury, coupled with the
sidelining of Dave Leooardis to mono
nucleosis, left UNC head coach Bill
Lam with two glaring gaps in his
lineup.
"We had (Moore) at 126 and Jody
(Staylor) at 1 34, which makes us a lot
different," Lam said. "Then we lost
Leonardis, so that makes a lot of dif
ference." UNC sophomore Ross Iaci opened

Staff reports
BALTIMORE The North Caro
lina women's basketball team earned
its first Associated Press Top 25 rank
ing in 5 12 years by splitting a pair of
away games last weekend.
UNC, ranked 25th in the latest poll,
lost Saturday to then-No. 3 and now
No. 1 Maryland, 72-68, in College Park.
The Tar Heels rebounded Sunday to
crush Loyola (Md.), 84-49.
The last time the Tar Heels were in
the AP poll was at the close of the 1 985
86 season, when Jennifer Alley coached
UNC to a No. 16 ranking.
North Carolina ( 1 3-2, 3-2 in the ACC)
forced Loyola (4-9) into 31 turnovers
on its way to a rout which gave UNC
head coach Sylvia Hatchell her 350th
career win in the collegiate ranks.
Freshman guard Stephanie Lawrence
scored a season-high 20 points and hit 4
of 10 3-pointers. Sophomore Tonya
Sampson added 18 for the Tar Heels.
The Tar Heels scored the last eight
points of the first half to lead 41-24 at
the break. North Carolina continued its
surge by scoring the first 14 points of
the second half. All 13 UNC players
scored.
Versus the Terrapins, UNC got 17
points and 1 1 rebounds from freshman
Charlotte Smith and 16 from Sampson.
Maryland (14-1, 4-0 in the ACC) was
paced by Limor Mizrachi (18 points,
nine rebounds), Melissa Boles (16
points, seven boards) and Dafne Lee
(12 points, seven rebounds).

strong showings from the Tar Heels at
