All seven ACC women's swimming and diving teams were present for the ACC Championships in Koury Natato rium this weekend. Six were Douse-d by a Tar Heel tidal wave, as UNC rolled to the second largest victory in the history of the meet. "You can't really ask for anything more," said UNC's Melissa Douse, the meet's Most Valuable Swimmer. 'This whole team was an inspiration in itself. We went the whole season undefeated, but that doesn't mean it was easy." Sorry, Melissa, but it sure looked easy. The Tar Heels, who held a 1 30-point lead after Thursday's events, plowed through the competition Friday and UNC bakes Wake with 1 4 vs lit' ZSK UNC's George Lynch battles Wake's Rodney No. 1 Terps muscle past 21st-rated UNC, 92-78 By David Monroe Staff Writer The best things in life are free. The top-ranked Maryland women's basketball team proved just that by making 38 free throws in its 92-78 victory versus No. 21 North Carolina Saturday in Carmichael Auditorium. "They are called free throws," said Maryland head coach Chris Weller. "They are free. They are supposed to go in." The win improved Maryland's record to 20-1, 10-0 in ACC play. UNC dropped to 16-5, 5-5. Free throws made the difference in the game. Maryland took 43 foul shots and UNC attempted 20. Of the Terra pins' 51 second-half points, 29 came from the charity stripe. Maryland did not just walk up to the line on its own, though. The Terrapins drew 3 1 fouls, compared to 18 for the Tar Heels, by pounding the ball inside the entire game. Consequently, Tar Heel front-liners Charlotte Smith and Sylvia Crawley fouled out and LeAnn Kennedy and Gwendolyn Gillingham ended up with four fouls apiece. "Look at the difference 3 1-18," said UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell. "Man alive!" When asked what made the differ ence in the game, Hatchell said, "We Douse leads dominant North Carolina squad to 253-point triumph Saturday. UNC's 884 points were 253 greater than second-place Clemson 's. N.C. State was 258 points better than UNC in the 1980 meet. North Carolina was followed by Clemson (631 points), Virginia (620), N.C. State (446), Florida State (338), Maryland (237) and Duke (160). "It's really nice to get a streak going, now that we've won two in a row," said UNC head coach Frank Comfort. "Our people came out on the first event on the first day and just never looked back. We just kept up our intensity over all six sessions. That's the key. "I don't think you ever meet every goal that you set, but we certainly met an awful lot of them this weekend." Comfort was named ACC Coach of the Year for the first time since 1985. It OTHKalhy Michel Rogers (54) and Trelonnie Owens (40) can't say, because there are rules against it." Hatchell was referring to the fact that it is a violation of NCAA rules to criticize officiating. Because of the Terps' strong inside game, they scored 40 points in the paint and attempted only one 3-pointer in the contest.

Tar Heel captain Douse notched three individual wins and participated in four victorious relays. The senior came away with wins in the 50-yard freestyle, 100 butterfly and 100 free, qualifying for the NCAA Championships in both freestyle events. Douse also anchored the 200- and 400-medley relays and the 200- and 400-free relays. Her late burst qualified the 400 free team of Douse, Jenny Huber, Shannon Allison and Ann Hart for the NCAAs. "She's a young lady who's devel oped better and better each year," Com fort said of Douse. "She's a charismatic leader, and the results were pretty char ismatic this weekend." Reese's jumper, Davis' career-high 30 spark 80-78 win By Mark Anderson Senior Writer "Had it all the way." UNC head coach Dean Smith after Saturday's game with Wake Forest. That is a pretty confident statement for a man whose Tar Heels led twice Saturday for a total of 1 1.3 seconds. It must take 3 1 years of coaching to have that kind of confidence in a team that was outshot from the field and outrebounded. For the 21,572 fans in the Smith Center, it was not that easy to be confi dent. Only after Brian Reese's double pump buzzer-beater from 1 2 feet ripped through the net could North Carolina fans relax. Reese's heroics completed another of Smith's patented comebacks and gave No. 9 UNC an 80-78 win versus Wake Forest. His floating jumper also capped a 16-3 stretch run by UNC that left the Tar Heels second in the ACC at 7-2, 1 7 3 overall. A frustrated Demon Deacon squad lost to UNC for the 10th straight time and the 22nd time in the last 23 meetings and fell to 4-6, 12-7. The Tar Heels, whoobviously caught a case of the post-Devil Blues, found themselves behind by 22 points mid way through the first half, down 20 points with 14:49 left in the game, and 1 4 in the hole with 1 0:43 left. Wake was hot from the floor, shooting 61.1 per cent in the first half, and converted a rebounding advantage into second chance points. "Usually a team comes out a little flat after a big win like we had Wednesday, but we didn't expect to come out that bad," UNC's Hubert Davis said. "They weren't scared of us. They came out and asserted themselves. They were mak ing their shots, and they made it very difficult for us to get back in the game." Davis and his career-high 30 points kept bringing UNC back all afternoon, Fencers toil and foil at home, split matches By Carter Toole Staff Writer Fifty-four hours without sleep. That's the predicament UNC fenc ing coach Ron Miller found himself in after his men's and women's teams hosted a grueling, eight-team dual meet Saturday at Fetzer Gymnasium. To call it a long day does not do the teams justice; the meet lasted 12 hours, concluding at 8 p.m. The UNC men's squad finished the day 1 -2, losing close matches to Air Force and to New York University, while crushing William & Mary 2 1 -6. The women's team went 2 1, with convincing 11-5 wins against Air Force and James Madison and a loss to Fairleigh Dickinson. Miller said the length of the day's events may have caused the somewhat mediocre performance by the men's team. "We fenced tough, but not quite at the level of intensity I'm used to seeing with these guys," he said. "It was only a small letdown, but, frankly, we can't afford any sort of letdown at this point in the season." Drew Thompson surredforthe men's squad, dropping only one match and finishing 11-1 overall, while Rayan Parikh executed well in sabre competi tion. The primary problem for the Tar Heels was their failure to earn the fifth touch, resulting in many 5-4 defeats. The first fencer to strike his opponent five times wins the match. Yet, Miller was impressed with the in women's North Carolina senior Heather Cleevely completed her sweep of the diving events Saturday, scoring 521.50 points to record a victory on the three meter board. Cleevely was named the meet's Most Valuable Diver. "Her wins in the one-meter and three meter were tremendous," Comfort said. "She's been close to it before. It was such a thrill for her to win not one but both boards." North Carolina also received impor tant contributions from two freshmen. Carrie Szulc turned in a strong perfor mance in her inaugural ACC meet, win ning the 200-individual medley Thurs day before obliterating the ACC meet record in the 400 IM Friday. Szulc's time of 4: 1 7.69, which quali fied her for the NCAA Championships hot but each time it got close, Wake would respond. The Tar Heels fi nally made a run in the second half, thanks to more ag gressive rebound ing and stifling defense. UNC switched between a zone and a man-to-man to hold Hubert Davis Wake to 36.7 percent from the field after the break. Spurred by a frantic Dean Dome crowd, the Tar Heels mounted a final attempt, trailing 75-64 with 6:17 re maining. A Kevin Salvadori turnaround jumper from the baseline pulled UNC within 75-74 at the 3:27 mark. The Deacons answered with their only bas ket in the final 6: 1 7 a layup by Chris King, who hit his free throw after being fouled by UNC's Henrik R8dl. Reese used a beautiful hesitation move on the baseline to explode for a dunk, pulling the Tar Heels within two. Then, Wake's Rodney Rogers and An thony Tucker sandwichedmisseson the front end of one-and-ones around a botched drive attempt by UNC's Donald Williams. With 38 seconds left. Wake's Der rick McQueen fouled out trying to stop Pat Sullivan in the post. Sullivan drained his two free throws his only shots of the game to tie the game at 78. After a Wake timeout, King drove the ball to the right baseline, but Reese and Davis knocked it loose. UNC's Derrick Phelps recovered and called a timeout with 10.9 seconds left. Because Phelps was limping, Smith set up a play for Reese to penetrate from the top and either shoot or pass to Davis coming off a double screen. Smith also gave Reese some private instructions.

In a move that Wake coach Dave Odom and forward Rogers admitted took the Deacs by surprise, Reese went right at Rogers, but his jumper was short and bounced right. Reese tracked the ball down and went up immediately, twisted to avoid a charging Trelonnie Owens, then watched his game-winner set off a UNC celebration. "It was crazy," Davis said. "That was the longest lOsecondsofmy life. These two wins are the most incredible wins of my career." Coincidentally, on UNC's first shot of the game, it was Reese who buried a 3-pointer that gave the Tar Heels their only other lead of the game a 3-2 margin that lasted for 10 seconds. In a season filled with confidence-builders for Reese, the sophomore may have been more encouraged by Smith put ting the game in his hands than by actually hitting the game-winner. "It'sagreatfeeling,"Reesesaidabout Smith's confidence in him. "He put me out there and put the ball in my hands at the last minute when Hubert's so hot." Hot is an understatement. Davis al most single-handedly kept the Tar Heels in the game during their early-afternoon doze. After scoring seven points in the first half, Davis came out of the locker room seemingly determined not to let UNC lose. He hit 7 of 10 second half shots as UNC heated up to 57.7 percent from the field in the half. His 23 second-half points came on an array of 3-pointers, drives and jumpers with Deacons in his face. By the 14:49 mark, UNC had fallen behind 62-42 when Davis went on a personal 8-0 run. Wake Forest was still holding onto a 68-54 lead with 10:43 left, so Davis pumped in the next seven UNCpoints. Despite Davis' handiwork. Wake built the lead to 75-66 with 6: 16 remaining. The senior answered with V Melissa Douse six of the Tar Heels' next eight points, setting the stage for Reese's final flurry. "I wanted to assert myself," Davis said, "but I didn't want to force bad shots like I did at (N.C.) State when we were behind."
