(Photo by Ron Hayden) Singles Wins Allow SA Tie For First In DIAC Tennis Defending champion St. An drews got tremendous per formances from three singles players and gained the co championship of the Dixie Conference at the tourna ment in Greensboro April 23- 24, Wins by Paul Finger, Mitch Mitchell and Steve Barber en abled the Knights to tie N.C. Wesleyan for the team title. Each team had 16 points. UNC- G took third place with 13 points, followed by Lynchburg 10, Christopher Newport 3, Methodist 2, and Virginia Wesleyan 0. All three SA victories were especially sweet, for each Knight gained revenge in the final round by defeating an opponent to whom he had lost earlier in the season. Finger coasted easily to the finals in number four singles, where he defeated Ed Stiles of Wes leyan 3-6, 7-5, 6-1. Mitchell, the Knights’ excellent #5 play er, had an easier time, whip ping Dave Eisold of UNC-G 6-3, 6-4 in their champion ship match. Barber upset Wesleyan’s Jack Casey 6-4, 7-5 to win at #6. Other SAnetters also played well in the tournament. Strong freshman Tom Ager reached the finals of #3 singles, los ing in three sets to Mike Long of Wesleyan. Senior Richey Robinson, the Knights’ number two man, swept by Newport’s Gary Carter be fore falling to Walter Mc Clellan of Lynchburg, who went on to win the title at the #2 position. Another sen ior, Davis Miller, beat Mark Farriss of Lynchburg 6-3, 6-3 before falling to Albert Khamlarian of UNC-G, who won the championship as ex pected. The Knights’ doubles teams didn’t win any titles, but the one and two teams picked up a total of three points. Mill er and Robinson won their first round match, but lost in the semi-finals to UNC-G’s Khamlarian andRauthen. Lyn chburg’s team of Farris and Erwin Pitches 2nd Win; SA At Pembroke Tonight The baseball Knights opened their last home stand of the year by dropping a pair of games to Methodist, 5-2 and 4-0. The Knights played well in both contests, but couldn’t come up with the hits when they needed them. Riley Er win pitched the first game for SA, scattering eight hits. He also drove in a run with a first inning double to deep center field. Methodist’s Dennis Aderholt and Phil Mullins combined to three^it the Blue in the second game. Bill Barnes pitched very well for the Knights, allowing only one earned run. Seemingly^tarting to put it all together, the Knights were quite optimistic going into a double header with Lynchburg Monday. SA had split with the league-leading Hornets in Virginia, winning 5-1 as Erwin baffled the Hornets’ hitters and belted a two run triple, then losing 7-0, Monday, though, the Lynchburghers jumped on just about everything Riley threw, scoring six runs in the first in ning. Barnes again pitched well in relief, but the Knights could never get close and lost 10-2. SA scored twice off Steve Goff, with Ray Andrews and RUey Erwin contributing RBI singles. Coach Julian Smith elected to start Erwin again in the nightcap, but again the big SA ace was no mystery to Lyn chburg’s batters. They scored four in the first before An drews came in to pitch. An drews gave up six more tal lies in the second, and was relieved by Max Sampson, who hurled the rest of the game. SA eventually lost, 17-1. The lone SA run came in the seventh frame. Erwin led off with a hard single, his fifth hit in six attempts in the doubleheader, and went to third on Jim Lynch’s double to left center field. Walks to Curt Sawyer and Bill Barnes forced in the run. Dave Goff and Jerry Booth led the Hor nets’ attack with five RBI’s #ach in the doubleheader. SA closes out its disastrous ® twi-night doubleheader at Pembroke tonight against the hard hitting Braves. McClellan then defeated Khamlarian and Rautheninthe #1 doubles finals. Ager and Finger teamed to upset the previously unbeaten UNC-G team, Jim Costa and Rovin Platt, but fell in the finals to Ed Stiles and Jack Casey of Wesleyan, 6-3, 6-2. Tae Knights were not a factor in #3 doubles, SA’s coach Bob Chaiken cited a sharp mental attitude on the part of his players as the primary reason for their strong showing, which brought the first DIAC championship of the year to St. Andrews. The Knights closed out their regular season with a very anticlimactic win over the im proved Pembroke Braves. SA looked lackadasical in the singles, splitting the six matches, but came on strong in doubles to take a 6-3 tri umph. Robinson, Ager, and Mitchell were the victorious singles players for SA. The 2 and 3 doubles teams won in straight sets, but the Miller- Robinson team dropped their first set before bearing down to take a 1-6, 6-1, 6-4 de cision. Knight Golfers Third in DIAC N.C. Wesleyan won the Dixie Conference golf crown by capturing the conference tournament at Fayetteville April 26-27. UNC-G took second place, with St. An drews finishing third, breaking a string of three straight second place finishes for the Knights. Senior Toby Vosburgh led SA with an 80-83-163, eighth best in the conference. Dave Cox finished a stroke back at 164, followed by senior Dave Bowie at 169 and John Givens and Jim Barrick, each with 170. Cox opened with a sparkling 77, but ballooned to a second-day 87 in weather which one golfer compared to a hurricane. Under conference rules, tournament scores are coun ted as dual meets for two teams which have not previously met twice during the season. This rule allowed SA to pick up five wins at Fayetteville, to improve their record to 12-10.
