Ullje Saily (Ear HM Tired Tar Heels Persevere Against Tack By Kelly Lusk Assistant Sports Editor RALEIGH - Sometimes things don’t have to start off perfectly to end well. Four months ago, North Carolina’s women’s swimming and diving team lost to No. 1 Georgia in its first dual meet of-the season. The Tar Heels haven’t lost since. Women’s Swimming UNC 149 N.C. State 92 UNC overcame season-end exhaus tion and preserved its perfect conference record Friday by knocking off N.C. State 149-92 in its last dual meet of the season. “It’s a really long season,” junior Summer Mack said. “Everyone is in that WOMEN S BASKETBALL From Page 12 ond half. They finished the game with 38.6 and 33.3 marks, respectively. Meanwhile, North Carolina tied a season-high for 3-pointers made with nine, and four Tar Heels racked up impressive individual performances. Guards Juana Brown and Coretta Brown notched 20 points apiece and dished out 17 combined assists. LaQuanda Barksdale (12 points, 14 rebounds) and Candace Sutton (18 points, 11 rebounds) both recorded dou ble-doubles. Sutton’s double-double was the first of the freshman’s career. “They’re not a team that you can say, ‘OK, we’re going to do this with this person and this with that person (defen sively),” Curtis said. “They’ve got five really good players on the floor with their starting lineup, and when they sub, they’ve still got five really good players on the floor.” UNC (12-9, 6-5), loser of three of its last four games coming into Sunday, was able to put all the pieces together against WFU.

But the longevity of its regular season and the hot temperature in the pool could n’t stifle UNC. The Tar Heels (8-1,5-0 in the ACC) claimed nine victories in 11 events. “It’s not really that great of a pool, as far as its conditions,” Mack said. But Mack didn’t let the lacking Wolfpack facility get to her. Mack placed first in the 100-yard butterfly and swam the third leg of both the 200 and 400 medley relay teams. a season-low 11 turnovers while assisting on 22 of their 26 buckets. “I feel like there are some little things we’re doing one or two or three percent bet ter than we were doing two or three weeks ago,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. Hatchell said those “litde things” included defense, Senior guard Juana Brown scored 20 points and tallied eight assists in the Tar Heels' 72-60 victory. rebounding, confidence and penetra tion. Those attributes, along with the emer gence of Sutton in the middle, made the Tar Heels a notably different team than when it lost to the Deacons on Jan. 4. Said Hatchell, “Charlene said to me even before the game, ‘Man, y’all are a different team than when we played y’all earlier.’” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. “It’s not a bad facility, but compara tively speaking to what we’re going to be swimming in at ACCs, it gives us a lot to look forward to as far as our times improving,” Mack said. Co-captain Erika Acuff felt a litde off of her game as well. Despite this, the senior made sure she went out on top. In her last dual meet of her career, she was the only Tar Heel to win two individual events. “I’m pretty beat up and really tired,” Acuff said. “1 didn’t feel very good today comparative to the other meets I’ve had in the past couple weeks. So I was pret ty happy with my swims.” Acuff nailed the competition in the 500 freestyle with a time of 4 minutes, 55.32 seconds and won by a one-second margin in the 400 individual medley WRESTLING From Page 12 With 30 seconds remaining, Byers still trailed 9-7, but Alexander was gasping for air. Though his wresder trailed. North Carolina coadi Bill Lam knew Byers was prepared for this situation. “We’re in pretty good shape,” Lam said. “And if it comes down to the end, I like to think our conditioning will make a difference.” With seven seconds left, Byers pounced on Alexander, performing his third takedown of the period and tying the match 9-9. He rolled over Alexander, putting him on his back and earning two points for a near fall with four seconds left in the match. Byers won 11-9. UNC’s strong start and the perfor mance of its stalwarts, Corey Bell (174) andJohnMark Bendey (149), allowed it to overcome an injury to Jake Reynolds (165), which gave the Cavaliers six points. Bell and Bendey each won with ease, 10-1 and 10-3, respectively. “John Mark and Corey stay the same. Those guys are doing a good job,” Lam Parlez-vous francais? / France. Belgium. Switzerland.

Junior Katie Hathaway’s 100 breast stroke performance (1:03.98) drowned any Wolfpack swimmer’s hopes of chal lenging her dominance in the event Hathaway said she is confident that UNC’s undefeated conference record is telling of how they will defend its tide in the ACC Championships Feb. 15 and 16 in Virginia. “I would say our ACC performances are a pretty good indicator,” Hathaway said. “But more than that are the times everyone’s been swimming. “Everyone’s been improving at every single meet. That’s much more of an indicator than winning dual meets.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. said. The most dominant performance of the match came from redshirt freshman Chris Collins in the 125-pound weight class. He won 17-2 against Ryan Stewart, who was forced to take a long look at the ceiling of Carmichael Auditorium during the third period. Because the margin of victory exceed ed 14, the win earned the Tar Heels five points, giving them an 8-0 lead heading into Byers’ dramatic match. The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

The team swam past the Wolfpack in the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. In the 200, the men finished first and second after the N.C. State relay was dis qualified for a false start. The “A” team of Kert Johnson, Sean Quinn, Sebastien Moity and Kevin Emdl finished in 1:31.99. The “B” team of Jimmy Owens, Chris Helin, Gregjohnson and Michael Chenier touched in 1:35.16. The 400 relay members showed just as much determination, finishing first and second in the their event with times of 3:08.17 and 3:10.03, respectively. “We did a really good job coming out and just swimming our last meet, espe cially for our seniors who did really well,” Chenier said. “Our focus was to come out and do our best before ACCs.” In the diving competition, Stephen Tlki B * 620 Market St. '"iJiiiiiiia^vr Take I S/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Main St./Southern Village SAVE THE LAST DANCE bh.i 1:30-4:15-7:15-9:40 WEDDING PLANNER 1:00-4:00-7:00-9:20 CHOCOLAT OPTHQI 1:15-3:45-7:05-9:30 CAST AWAY EHS 12:30-3:30-6:45-9:35 Bargain Matinees Daily until 5:30 All seats $4.75 www.therialto.com □□(DoißyJ fTADI UM DIGITAL SEATING 1491/2 E Franklin St Chapel Hill, NC 4 . 9608688 Best known secret in Chapel Hill Offering burgers, chicken sandwiches, and specially and dinner, with a late night menu and ' 23 beers on tap.
