latly ®ar MM By Any Name, UNC's Barksdale Has Plenty By Bret Strelow Assistant Sports Editor At the beginning of North Carolina women’s basketball games, she’s intro duced as a forward. Opposing coaches say she’s a guard. Many of her teammates and friends simply call her “Q.” No matter how people identify her, most of the titles don’t hold that much weight with 5-foot-11 LaQuanda Barksdale. “With the set we’re going with now, like a four-around-one, there’s only real ly one post there anyway, and the rest are guards,” said Barksdale, who plays power forward. “I think they put too much on naming positions.” But Barksdale has recently acquired another title that she won’t mind hold ing on to: first-team All-ACC performer. She averaged 17.4 points and 8.5 rebounds a game in the regular season to lead the ACC in both categories. Each of the last three seasons, the player who has led the ACC in scoring and rebounding has earned ACC Player of the Year honors. N.C.

Freshman, bophomore with strong GPA preferred, foil Chris @ 960-3556 Summer Erb did it last year, and former UNC power forward Tracy Reid accom plished the feat the season before that. But Barksdale did not win ACC Player of the Year. That honor went to Duke guard Georgia Schweitzer, who averaged 15.7 points and 4.0 boards. In fact, Barksdale received the lowest vote total of any of the first-team performers. Lack of respect is nothing new to Barksdale, who entered UNC in the fall of 1997 without the same acclaim that fellow juniors Juana Brown and Nikki Teasley received. Both were members of the USA Basketball Junior National team that won a gold medal at the World Championships in the summer of 1997. Barksdale, on the other hand, quietly came to UNC from West Forsyth High School in Clemmons, where she earned Central-Piedmont All-Conference hon ors all four years as a center. “A lot of people hadn’t heard of her outside North Carolina,” Brown said. “I know I didn’t, and I was totally shocked. I was like, ‘Why haven’t 1 heard of this girl before?”’ In her first season, a year that Teasley thought this. Our players have done a good job. I give them all the credit. “This is quite an accomplishment - it may never happen again.” The UNC trek to greatness wasn’t guided by a seasoned veteran but instead was led by a pair of freshmen: Sean Farrell and Scott Autrey. Farrell, a recruited walk-on third base man, went 3-for-4 on the day and ham mered home runs in the second and sev enth innings. Farrell’s five RBI were a game high and gave plenty of cushion to Autrey, the starting pitcher. Autrey got the nod on the mound and hurled six strong innings.

Barksdale did n’t start a single game and aver aged 4.8 points a game. “I had no prob lem playing behind her,” Barksdale said. “I knew that I was going to have to play behind some- body when I came in, whether it be at the 3 position or at the 4 position.” When Barksdale got her opportuni ties - she averaged 10.6 minutes a game - she played well. Had she played the 32.0 minutes a contest she averaged dur ing this regular season, Barksdale’s num bers would have projected to 14.5 points and 7.2 rebounds a game. “Even though she didn’t play that much, her stats were outstanding for the number of minutes that she played,” and struck out a pair. “It was good just to go out there and give our team a chance to win,” Autrey said. “Obviously, it is cool for me to get the win, but it was still a team thing.” Tyrell Godwin belted his fourth home run of the year and posted four RBI, while first baseman Jay Madeira pound ed out three hits in five at bats. The Tar Heels posted a run in the first, then erupted in the second to score five more, bringing the tally to 6-0 at the end of two innings. From that point, UNC continued to belt away at the Catamounts (4-13), scor ing one run in the fifth inning and four more in the seventh. | For Rent | | Wheels for Sale 1986 TOYOTA CELICA GT. 113 k, S6OO. good condition, minor transmission prob lem, car drives well with it.

Hatchell recruited her to play on the wing or as a guard, but Barksdale said she struggled to learn the position. Hatchell decided to g>ve her another shot in the post at Wake Forest on Dec. 4, 1997. Barksdale responded with four points and four boards in seven minutes of play. “Coach Hatchell just kind of put me in there because I was at home,” Barksdale said. “As soon as 1 got in, I scored twice, so she had me come in and practice with the 4 players, and I did a good job.” Barksdale has been entrenched in that position since. She has started 60 games in the last two seasons and is finally being mentioned in the same breath as Brown and Teasley. But this season hasn’t always been easy. When Teasley took a leave of It took WCU five innings to post its initial run, and, although they never led, the Catamounts didn’t go down easily. WCU scored four runs in the ninth inning, bringing the final tally to 11-8. The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

She shot 33 percent from the field in the seven games Teasley missed. Barksdale didn’t deny that she pressed too hard with Teasley out of the iineup. “She gets in position to get other peo ple shots,” Barksdale said. “When she was gone, I had to try to create my own shots, and that wasn’t working too well.” Barksdale often took her game to the perimeter with Teasley out of the lineup. She had attempted 10 trifectas in UNC’s first 12 games, but she hoisted up 15 treys during the seven-game stretch. UNC lost six out of those seven games. But Barksdale shouldn’t abandon her perimeter game. Hatchell said that if she goes on to the WNBA after college, she’ll mark her mark on the wing. Barksdale has even come to that real ization. “I believe that now.
