Senate and US. House of Representatives posts. Many high-profile races are com petitive this vear, meaning the main focus for candidates will be the May 6 primary, when party nominees will be chosen. One anticipated contest is the race for Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole's Senate seat. She is being challenged by Democrats Jim Neal and Kay Hagan, the state sena tor representing Guilford counts. “North Carolina has a very com petitive two-parts’ system," Guillory said. “We tend in this state to have very close races between Democrats and Republicans." Although filing is just a formal ity, especially at the state lesel where campaigns must begin months in advance in order to gain the neces sary recognition, candidates still treat filing as a significant step. ‘lt’s a real milestone in that it symbolizes that the election is becoming close at hand," said David Kochman, Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue's gubernatorial campaign spokesman. “As we move past that point, vot ers will start to tune in more." Contact the State (!) National Editor at stntdexk(a unc.edu.

FEBRUARY 12, 2008 Women’s tennis teem notches two top-8 victories in Wisconsin Watch for North Carolina women's terms to make a jump in the rankings this week—that's generally what happens when you knock off the No. 2 and No. 8 teams in the country in the same weekend No, 14 UNC needed every point in pulling off back-to-back 4-3 upsets at the ITA Indoor Nationals against UCLA and Southern California. Saturday in Madison, Wise, UNC finally fell 4-0 to No. 3 Northwestern. "It's an incredible accomplishment to get as far as we did," coach Brian Kalbas said. ‘But it's also a disap pointment that we didn't have a bet ter showing against Northwestern, who is a very good team." No 14 Sana? Marand, though, had straight-set victories against two pow erhouse opponent* No. 41 Tracy Un of UCLA and last year's NCAA singles runner-up, Lindsey Nelson of USC. Seeing results after playing against the toughest competition, the Tar Heels might have cemented their No. 2 and No. 3 doubles pairs for the season. Laura Reichert was paired with Katrina Tsang for all three days, as was Austin Smith with Meg Fanjoy. "We’re going to still continue to evaluate it," Kalbas said of the doubles teams. "But at a consistent level I think the teams we have out there are three good teams. It’s going to be a work in progress throughout the whole year."

Men's tennis Many members of the men's ten nis team are in uncharted territory as UNC endures its first consecutive regu lar season losses since 2005, when the team lost to Duke and Georgia Tech in the same week. The seniors on this team were just freshmen then. The Tar Heels' last defeat, a 4-2 loss Sunday at Ohio State, was not what the team was hoping for after a one-point loss to Rice a week earlier. Ohio State, meanwhile, was able to earn its eighth consecutive victory to start the season and remain unde feated against UNC all-time. The Buckeyes won the doubles play which the Tar Heels lost in their defeat against Rice, as well. Chris Kearney got the Tar Heels on the road to a comeback with a con vincing straight-set victory against Matt Allare. But fellow sophomore Stefan Hardy and senior Benjamin Carlotti fell in the next two matches to give OSU the win. COMPILED BY JORDAN MASON &EGAL CINEMAS “W W(*S . • Km IKK, -„M- Mm W.
