6 Friday, February 18, 2000 UNC Seeks to Prove Coach's Prediction True Bv Adam D. Hill Staff Writer This summer, before the fall golf season began, North Carolina women’s coach Sally Austin made a bold prediction. Austin ventured to say that if her young squad worked hard in the months leading up to the spring, it could com pete with any team in the nation. If Austin’s words prove to be true, the 2000 version of the Tar Heels should make quite a turnaround from last year, when UNC finished ninth in the NCAA East Regional. “The players have been working very hard,” said Austin, who is in her seventh year as head coach. “This team, top to bottom, is very diligent in their work. We are getting better and better, and I’m excited about that.” Senior Marcy Newton is central to Women's Golf March 10-12 Casa de Campo Ladies Intercollegiate Teeth of the Dog Course in Casa de Campo, Dom.

[ J vivnil I ” * i I __J r wi ' —] — 7 UNC’s hopes for a banner season. Newton, a two time All-ACC golfer and presea son All-American, is looking to over come a rough fall season and take her place as the leader of a squad comprised of many youngsters. “Marcy Newton is our senior leader,” Austin said. “She is very UNC sophomore Heather Angeil finished second at the Fripp Island Invitational last March. committed to the team. She works hard and is talented and has a great tempera ment on the golf course. She sets a great example for the team.” For a squad containing only three Women's Golf upperclassmen, Newton’s veteran lead ership will be crucial to the Tar Heels’ success. Newton’s role could be even more substantial if junior Shelley McKevitt, who was in an automobile accident, decides to redshirt. UNC will also rely heavily on the play of sophomores Heather Angeil and Beth I .ever and freshman Abby Spector. Angeil, a starter on last year’s team who finished as runner-up at the Fripp Island Invitational, will look to build on a successful freshman year and add con sistency to the Tar Heel lineup. “Heather has played well this year,” Austin said. “Heather works extremely hard and is very competitive. I never have to give her even a little shove to practice because she does it on her own.” All of the hard work has paid divi dends on the golf course for Angeil. “Heather had a really good fall,” Newton said. “She has really become consistent and is a great putter.” Like Angeil, Spector is a youngster who must produce for UNC to finish near the top of the ACC. Spector was highly recruited coming out of Waterville, Maine, and was impressive in the fall season. If the pieces can fall into place for UNC, it has a chance to compete with Duke, the nation’s No. 1 team and pre season favorite, for the conference title. “Duke is our best competitor, and they have a really good team,” Angeil said. “If we all get out there and work hard, then we have a good chance of going out there and challenging them.” Wake Forest and Florida State will also pose a challenge for UNC in the ACC, although the Tar Heels are also looking at the national picture. “We didn’t make it to the NCAA finals last year, and this year it’s one of our main goals," Angeil said. “We are trying to just go out there and show what we are made of.” THE WORLD S LEADING SOCCER AND LACROSSE CATALOG AND INTERNET COMPANY SEEKS PART-TIME CALL CENTER AND WAREHOUSE STAFF MEMBERS. # Eurosport- The Fabled Soccer Traders and Great Atlantic Lacrosse (soccer.com and lacrosse.com), located ten minutes from Chape!
