Women's golf Friday, September 16, 1977 The Dally Tar Heel 7 Four returnees lead Friday's opener By KEN ROBERTS Staff Writer Dot Gunnells may be one of the few people in Chapel Hill not wishing for rain. Gunnells, the UNC women's golf coach now in her third year, has a season rapidly approaching and she is unsure which of the 1 3 women trying out will be among the starting five. A match scheduled for Thursday against Appalachian State .was cancelled by the Lady Apps, giving Gunnells an extra day to decide on a starting squad. The team travels to Durham Friday to compete in the Duke Invitational. Wake Forest, UNC-Charlotte, UNC Greensboro and several other in-state schools will participate. The Heels will travel to Grandfather Mountain Thursday despite the match cancellation for an extra qualifying round for the tournament Friday and also a chance to play on the course where the North Carolina Association ' of Intercolllegiate Athletics for Women (NCAIAW) tournament will be held Oct. 6-7. "Due to the rain (last week) the girls have had just two qualifying rounds," Gunnells said early this week. "As far as physical capabilities, I've got some good golfers." Indeed she does. Four women who started most of the season are returning sophomores Stephanie Kornegay, S usan Cary and J anet H aire plus senior Bonnie Bell. Kornegay is the returning state tournament individual champion who led her team to the state team championship last year by 54 strokes Ruggers host English team The Carolina Rugby Club will host the Bristol (England) University rugby team at 4:30 p.m. Friday on Fetzer Field. The British team in on a 10-match, three week tour of the United States and Bahamas. The team has placed in the top four in the University Division of the English Rugby Union four of the last five years and features six members of the All-England Universities team the U.S. equivalent of All-America. "It's going to be quite a challenge trying to beat this team," UNC Coach Tom Ricketts said. "They've been playing rugby at Bristol University ever since it was founded in 1909. We're just starting our 12th year. 1 think we can learn a lot." The match is free to the public. Advertise in the Daily Tar Heel. over runner-up Wake Forest. On the way to the championship the team compiled an unblemished 6-0 mark. The strong year gained the Tar Heels as invitation to the national tournament held at the Hyatt Kuilimi Resort Hotel in Oahu, Hawaii where they finished 20th. Coach Gunnells and her golfers are setting higher goals for this year. "Our first goal is to win the state championship; our second goal is to make it to the nationals," G unnells said. Kornegay was a little more confident about the nationals, which are held in the spring. "1 want the team to finish in the top 10 at the nationals this year Kornegay, who also played varsity basketball last season, made it to the quarterfinals of the Women's Southern hald this summer in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. She also placed second in the Twin State Tournament this summer in Canton, N.C. Haire, from Palm Beach, Fla., also had a successful golfing summer. She defended her championship at Sakonnet Golf and Country Club in Little Compton, R.I., where she worked. In addition to the top returnees, Gunnells has high hopes for freshmen Maureen Long and Brenda Rich (the one-two finishers in the state high school tournament last year) and for junior Laura Strippel. Because of the many fine golfers, Gunnells plans to use a "blue team," which will serve as a'B' team. She hopes to provide them with a separate schedule. Two tournaments look very promising this fall for the team. The Tar Heel Invitational will be-held Oct. 24-25 with such teams as Furman, , which features returning National Amateur champion Beth Daniel, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Memphis State competing.
