®ljp Sailg (Bar Mwl Fencers Seek Gold in Land of Golden Dome BY JOSEPH ROLISON STAFF WRITER To say the North Carolina fencers are takingaunique approach to thisweekend’s NCAA Championships at Notre Dame might be an understatement. In fact, that might be an enormous un derstatement, considering the circum stances. The NCAA fencing champion ships are based on individual effort, and the trophies go to single athletes rather than teams. However, UNC head coach Ron Miller’s fencers enter the championship bouts eyeing the mythical team prize as opposed to individual accolades. At stake forthe Tar Heels, besides personal awards, is a top-four final ranking and a chance to unseat traditional powerhouses Notre Dame and Penn State. Team goals in an individual competi tion? Nothing odd about that, Miller said. “We’ve practiced with a team focus all year, so this (tournament) won’t be differ ent for them,” he said. “We are looking at this from a team objective, rather than individual objectives.” The UNC women enter their Saturday and Sunday bouts with two fencers in earh weapon, as was expected. In foil, Kristin Post and Kim Barnes will vie for the title. Jackets to Face Tar Heels In War of ACC Unbeatens BY CHAD AUSTIN ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR This year, there are more similarities than differences between the baseball teams from North Carolina and Georgia Tech. Their records are similar—UNC is 18- 8,3-0 in the ACC, while the Yellow Jack ets are 15-7,3-0. In league play, both are coming off series sweeps. The Tar Heels put away Virginia last weekend at Boshamer Sta dium. Tech took three games from Mary land earlier this week. And both lost the bulk of their offensive firepower from a year ago. So expect an interesting and close series this weekend as the Tar Heels play host to the Jackets in a three-game set at Boshamer Stadium, beginning today at 3 p.m. Last season, the Tar Heels and Yellow Jackets were worlds apart. Tech advanced all the way to the cham pionship game of the 1994 College World Series before falling to Oklahoma 13-5. UNC didn’t make the NCAA field. But the Yellow Jackets’ encore has not lived up to its advance billing. “lobe honest, Georgia Tech has got a new team,” UNC assistant coach Chad Holbrook said. “They lost a majority of their offensive contributors from last year’s College World Series team. We also lost a lot of pop and punch from our lineup. “Talent-wise, we think we’re pretty fa vorable to Georgia Tech. They’re not go ing to be able to walk on the field and just show up and beat us. We think we can win the series, and we would be extremely disappointed if we didn’t.” The Tar Heels could not say that a year ago. In 1994, Tech possessed the most po tent offensive club in the ACC. Gone from 4 that squad are All-ACC performers Jay Payton, Nomar GarciaparTa and Jason Varitek. That trio ranked 1 -2-3 in the league batting race last year with averages well over .400. But the Yellow Jacket bats are starting to heat up again this year. “We’re swinging the bats much better,” Georgia Tech head coach Danny Hall said. “I try to get the guys in the lineup who have Uproarious Tale!

The women’s brackets consist of 32 fencers in the first round, from whom 24 will be chosen to fence in round-robin bouts. “Everything is based on the seedings, and from that, Lillian Kizer has a good chance,” he said. “Melanie has also played well towards the end of the season.” Miller said this year’s field is particu larly strong. “Really, there is little difference between the top four or five fencers and the 25th and 30th fencers, ” he said. “Everybody is com ing in having played decent schedules and having decent records.” The Tar Heel men will feature three fencers in theirbouts on Monday and Tues day, despite a subpar season. Andre Walker will compete in the foil competition, while Matthew Cox and Marcus Crow will seek titles in the saber event. Badi Bradley will make the trip to Notre Dame as first national alternate, meaning that he will be allowed to fence in the epee competition in place of an absent or in jured fencer. been swinging the bats the best in games. I also like to try to match some guys against the pitchers we face.” Second baseman Ryan Ritter leads the Jackets with a .438 average and 11 home runs. Freshman J.J. Thomas has also stepped in and picked up some of Tech’s offensive slack by hitting .375 and sending seven pitches over the wall. In contrast, the Tar Heels have relied much more on their hurlers. The series could come down to a classic confronta tion between hitting and pitching. Brian Willman, Sean Murphy and closer Thad Chrismon have been the most capable on the mound this season, working with a supporting cast of youngsters. “I think our pitching has been our strength,” Holbrook said. “We had some questions with some guys and with some injuries early in the year, but our pitching has carried u 5.... Pitching has been keep ing us close and giving us a chance to score a late run or two.” Bad Company (R) Nightly at 7:00 *9:30 Sat. & Sun.
