Wrestlers Drill Spartans,
Earn sth-Consecntive Win
The Tar Heels win for the
fifth time this week in their
final tune-up for No. 1
Oklahoma State on Sunday.
By Hugh Pressley
Assistant Sports Editor
GREENSBORO - On paper, the
North Carolina wrestling team’s match
against UNC- Greensboro on Tuesday
had all the makings of a Tar Heel romp.
UNC brought a four-meet win streak
into the match, while the Spartans had
yet to register
a dual-meet
under their
belts.

lost to UNC by 34 points in Carmichael
Auditorium.
This time, however, the Tar Heels -
obviously fatigued after wrestling in five
matches in the past six days - had to
grapple with UNC-G in the Spartans’
domain.
But if there is such a thing as home
court disadvantage, the inexperienced
Spartans proved it Tuesday night. The
Tar Heels thrashed UNC-G 35-3 in
front of a crowd of 300 at Fleming
Gymnasium.
Fatigue Not a Factor for Tar Heels
By Bret Strelow
Staff Writer
GREENSBORO - North Carolina’s
wrestlers have been plenty active this
week - so active that the referees could
n’t even keep up with them.
Tuesday’s match with UNC-
Greensboro was delayed while the
teams awaited the arrival of the referees,
but the delay only briefly postponed the
Tar Heels from getting their fifth-con
secutive victory in the last six days.
UNC dominated from the outset
and put to rest any ideas that it would
be sluggish.
But those ideas are the only things
that have rested since last Wednesday.
During the past week, North
Carolina defeated N.C. State, Virginia,
The Citadel, Carson-Newman and now
UNC-G.
“I wasn’t too concerned,” UNC
coach Bill Lam said. “These guys
worked hard in practice.”
UNC junior Chuckie Connor, who
pinned UNC-G’s Kevin Bradley at 125
pounds, said the Tar Heels were less

“We were big
favorites tonight,”
UNC coach Bill
Lam said. “But we
knew we couldn’t
let up, because
they weren’t going
to let up.”

tired, it didn’t

pounds) and juniorjamie Groudle (174).
Calhoun took the first match of the
night by technical fall against UNC-G’s
Chad Denton, posting three takedowns
en route to an 18-2 victory. Groudle
added to the Tar Heels’ 5-0 lead via a
pin against the Spartans’ Mike Lowry,
giving UNC an 11-0 lead.
“I think we came out pretty strong,”
said freshman heavyweight Matt Kenny,
who rallied from five down to top
UNC-G senior Cedric Moore 12-7.
“We were pretty tired, but I think we
could have come out even stronger.

“They looked a little fatigued,” said
Connor of his teammates. “But they are
bigger guys, and I guess they get tired a
little quicker.”

junior Corey Bell (184) against
UNC-G’s Dax Tecaro by a score of 8-6,
the Spartans attempted to stop the Tar
Heels’ momentum in the 197-pound
weight division.
They did.
Spartan sophomore Greg Forbes out
performed a sluggish Ty Roofher, earn
ing a 6-4 minor decision against the
UNC senior after recording two take
downs and two escapes.
But that would be the Spartans lone
win.
The Tar Heels took that match as an
insult and breezed through the rest of
the meet by means of a Chuckie
Connor’s pin against UNC-G’s Kevin
Bradley at 125 pounds.
North Carolina freshman Pat
Cadwalladers (157) then notched a 3-1
decision against the Spartans’ Terry
Garbis in what was the final match of
the evening.
UNC looked impressive against the
Spartans, but the Tar Heels will have to
wrestle like never before in their next
match against Oklahoma State on
Sunday. The Cowboys are ranked No. 1
in the country.
Connor said, “It should be a good
indicator to see where we are and where
we want to go.”
The Sports Editor can be reached
atsports@unc.edu.
The crowded scheduling has in many
respects been a positive rather than a
negative.
“It helps you get your weight under
control and to get into the whole flow of
the match,” Connor said.
With that in mind, the No. 23 Tar
Heels hope they’ve found their rhythm
at just the right time.
Top-ranked Oklahoma State travels
to Carmichael Auditorium for a show
down this Sunday.
“Hopefully, we can earn a little
respect,” Connor said.
And as for those Tar Heels who were
fatigued, the days leading up to the bat
tle against the Cowboys might provide
the rest that they need to continue their
success.
“It’s been a long week,” UNC junior
Jamie Groudle said. “Everybody’s ready
to turn it on for the rest of the season.”
