Carolina's Lisa Dodson, who combined with Nina Cloaninger in doubles for one of Cavaliers defeated Carolina 5-4 last fall in Chapel Hill. Dodson, a sophomore from
the two UNC wins against Princeton Saturday, will be playing along with the rest of Chappaqua, N.Y., is the fourth-seeded player in UNC's lineup,

Slumping women's netters travel to Virginia
Heels have had tough luck winning three-setters

Carolina's women netters travel to Charlottesville, Va., today to take on the
powerful Virginia Wahoos in a 3 p.m. match and try to break a three-match losing
streak.
After an 8-1 fall season, the Tar Heels opened the spring with a surprisingly close
5-4 win over South Carolina, then lost to Yale, national-power Florida and
Princeton. The contest with Florida was an exhibition match and does not count in
UNC's record.
Carolina has been plagued by an inability to win the three-set matches. The Tar
Heels lost four three-set singles matches against Yale and three against Princeton.
Had UNC been able to take those singles contests, it would have won both matches.
Now the Tar Heels must try and get themselves together for what undoubtedly
will be a tough match. Virginia beat UNC 5-4 in the fall and the two teams have
developed an intense rivalry over the past few years.
"I don't think their (UNC) confidence is shattered at all," Carolina Coach Kitty
Harrison said. "They realize those matches would have been theirs if they had won
their splits (three-set matches). What they have to do from now on is be mentally
tough.
"I'm pleased with the way they're playing," she said. "They just have to be tough
in the pinch."
Harrison said she felt that playing strong teams early in the season will help the
Tar Heels prepare for the tourneys at the end of the season.
"In a way, 1 think this may be good for us," Harrison said. "They're being pushed
early in the game. It will help us as long as they don't get disheartened, and I don't
think they will."
Carolina's lineup against the Wahoos will have Susie Black, Nina Cloaninger,
Rebecca Garcia, Lisa Dodson, Janet Shands and Hunter Dortch in the singles.
Black teams with Jean Scott in one doubles match, while Cloaninger joins Dodson
and Garcia pairs with Dortch for the other doubles teams.
Virginia's regular lineup, according to Wahoo Coach Mary Leavell, has Barbara
Goldman, Cindy Brinker, Beth Bondurant, Kappie Clark, Cheri O'Donnell and
Keri O'Donnell playing singles. Leavell was not sure what her doubles lineup would
be.

Academic-minded netters
successful at new seeds
By WILL WILSON
Staff Writer
The pair of tenants of 227 Ehringhaus
appear to be the typical out-of-state
students attending Carolina V before
moving on to some highly-regarded
graduate school here or elsewhere.
One is a junior political science major
from Jackson, Miss., who wants to go to
law school. The other is a senior history
major from Brightwaters, N.Y., who
wants to attend dental school.
But these two have found something
to do with their spare time that makes
them a little more interesting. They play
the top positions for the Carolina men's
tennis team, the one that beat the
previously fifth-ranked Princeton
Tigers here Saturday.
Earl Hassler, the junior, is the top
player, with senior David Oberstein
playing No. 2. Together, they form the
top doubles team, except on such
occasions as Monday, when Hassler had
a big political science test.
The worlds seem far apart that of a
top player on a top-notch major college
tennis team and that of an academically
oriented student at a well-respected
university. However, Hassler. and
Oberstein fit the bill of each. -
"We came here for the academics,"
says Oberstein, who came here without
a tennis scholarship.
"What happens in tennis is strictly a
bonus," says Hassler, who came with a
scholarship. "We're probably. different
from most college players."
Hassler and Oberstein do not like
taking extended road junkets such as the
10-day junket the team went on last
year. They just miss too much class.
Academically oriented o not, they
have made a big name for themselves on
the tennis courts in the Atlantic Coast
Conference (ACC). Oberstein started
winning as a freshman, and has not
stopped, winning ACC flight
championships each year on courts six,
five and then four. Hassler hit a slump in
his first ACC Tournament, but came
back to win the third flight last season.
Winning on the lower rungs of the
ladder was tough enough, but now this
pair is trying to do the same thing to the
big boys up at the top.
"Looking ahead before the season
began," Hassler says, "I thought, '1
really shouldn't be out here these guys

are just too good.' "
Oberstein had similar qualms about
moving up.
"I used to look at No. 1 doubles and
say, 'My God, we're going to get
smoked,' but now there doesn't seem to
be that much difference."
This season's records: Hassler 11-0,
Oberstein 10-1, and Hassler-Oberstein
11-0.
But Hassler and Oberstein have not
yet passed the test, since ACC
competition" begins only today.
"Things could be much different a
week from now," Hassler said, speaking
of an upcoming stretch that includes I
matches with Clemson, N.C. State and
Miami, Fla.
That stretch is tough in another way
as well. Hassler and Oberstein will have
to miss three days of class, - -
Softball team in Greensboro
The UNC women's softball team travels to
Greensboro for games with UNC-G and
Appalachian State today. The first game gets
underway at 2 p.m.
The Tar Heels are coming off a season-
opening split of a doubleheader against N.C.
Central last Wednesday. After trouncing
Central in the first game 13-6, the Heels
dropped the second 1 1-13 when a last inning
comeback fell short.
