I Tournament action begins today in women's tennis and golf Thursday, October 6, 1977 ' The Daily Tar Heel 7 ACC net play unpredictable First-time events are nearly always unpredictable. The Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Tennis Tournament, which begins today in Winston-Salem, is doubly so. This is the first ACC tourney for women, so reliance on past events is not possible. Most of the teams have played each other in dual matches or other tournaments, but never have all seven had their full lineup in a single tournament. Compounding the picture is the high number of freshmen on league teams this fall. Thus, any reliance on past unofficial play is difficult. The most that can be done, it appears, is to divide the teams into three classes. North Carolina, Duke. Virginia and Clemson could all finish on top. Wake Forest is strong, but not strong enough to win. Maryland and N.C. State will fight it out to avoid last place. The three-day tournament will follow the same format the men use. Each team fields an ordered lineup of six singles and three doubles. The No. 1 players from each team play in a mini-tourney, as do the No. 2 players and. so forth. In each category, consolation matches are played so that places one through seven can be determined. The team championship is determined by awarding seven points for a first-place finish, six for second and so on. In each category, the players were seeded by a four-person committee. Members were Wake Forest Coach Stewart Smith and women's athletic director Dot Casey, and Mildred Southern and John Peddygord, officials of the Southern Tennis Association. Unlike the men's committee, which has a complete season on which to base its seedings, this group had only three matches to use by seeding time Duke vs. State, Duke vs. Wake and UNC vs. Wake. Consequently, the committee requested the results of all participants over the past year. Armed with this, they set up the seedings. If the results were to follow the seedings exactly, Duke would win with 49 points, followed by UNC and Virginia with 48, and Clemson with 47. Wake Forest would have 29, Maryland, 20, and State 11. Wake's Smith, the tournament director, said Wednesday that Clemson and Carolina had the most talent, but the experience of Duke and Virginia would make it a four team battle. Clemson has four freshmen in its lineup, while Carolina has three. UNC Coach Kitty Harrison said her squad has a great chance, and she discounted the experience factor. f r A u - yf f ? 4.' - V ,s & 4 ST 5 . f M fcjP," f , - S - Sw , f .... - -X - - Kornegay, Cary lead Tar Heels in link crown defense By KKN KOBFRTS Stall Writer Dot Ciunnells. Coach ot the INC w omen's golf learn, is confident of a Tar Heel win in the N.C.

Also competing are teams horn Duke. Wake Forest. Appalachian State. UNC Greensboro. I'NC-Charloite. Meredith and St. Mary's. Another factor boosting Guniltflls' confidence is the early arrival she araitjted for her team. Since the team is staying ill the Volleyball rallies for sweep Lloyd Hatcher "Collegiate experience is not that important," she said. "My girls have played lots of matches before." As indicated by the closeness of the seedings, the team that gets a good performance from every player will probably win, Harrison said. "It's absolutely paramount that we win our first-round matches." she said. "We've got to get on it and pull everything out from the beginning. It's a tough field." " Play begins today at 9 a.m., with the last matches scheduled for 4:30 p.m. The Friday schedule is the same.

The triumph followed a 15-2, 15-6 smashing of Virginia Commonwealth. "That third game was really close." UNC coach Beth Miller said. "It was the type that could have gone either way. When we got behind, we got together and just decided that we were going to go out and win. We got some momentum going, and I tiling High Point got down a little. We had some really aggressive net play and had good hustle on defense." Miller said the Far Heels didn't play poorly in the opener of the best-ol-tliree match against High Point. "It's just that they played a little better." she said. UNC held a 6-3 lead in the second game when Sue Strahl served 10 straight points to finish the game.
