6 The Daily Tar Heel Thursday, October 13, 1977 Tar Heel volleyball avenges early loss by smashing Pack By D1N1TA JAMES SUIT Writer "Our Six (both of them) is better than your Pack 'cause Miller makes it Right." The poster in Carmichael Auditorium emphasized Carolina's victory in the match between N.C. State and the UNC women's volleyball team Tuesday night. Coach Beth Miller's Tar Heels won in three straight games, 15-13. 15-10. 15-9. "I feel like it was three well-played games on both parts." M iller said. "I'm really proud of the team 'cause we never got down in the match, even when behind. We really stuck together and played as a team and won as a team." Reserve Ruth Hersuska added. "State gave us a good game but we were really psyched up and ready to take it." The homecourt advantage worked to UNC's favor as an enthusiastic crowd of some 500 fans gave the Heels a big lift. "The crowd was behind us and, that helped." Jackie Kimbro said, expressing (he team's consensus on the crowd's effect. , The first game of the match was perhaps" the most important in setting the style for the remaining games. The Tar Heels fell behind in the first game but came back to tie the game for the first time at 13-all. They went on to win 15-13. "Winning the first game by coming back gave the team a lot of momentum going into the next game," Miller said. Donna Gutterman echoed coach Miller's sentiments. "In the first game Sue (Strahl) dug up that ball that was inches from the floor and it rolled over the top of the net. We went on to come back and win the game, it lifted me a lot." "All the games were hard fought. We didn't win any of the games easily." Miller said. And she pointed to the thrilling final game as an example. "State had a 6-0 lead and then we tied it at 6-6. We didn't let down and went on to win 15-9. The last point was very tense, though, because the serve exchanged sides several times before we scored the 15th point." Miller said. Poor execution of basic fundamentals was one of the reasons for UNC's earlier loss to State. Tuesday night, however, Carolina showed the Wolf pack just how much it had improved as almost nothing hit the floor. "Our defense was improved over the game at State," Gutterman said. "Yeah, and we were ready to spike anything that was set to us." Heruska said. After the victory over archrival State, who had served the Tar Heels their only loss of the season, the team was ready to look ahead ,to the Florida State Invitational Tournament this weekend. "Florida will give us a good introduction of how we will do regional-wise." Heruska said of the weekend tournament. Kimbro agreed that the tournament would be a good test of their regional power but she also felt it would be a means of improvement for the team. "It will give us some good experience by playing against some good teams." she said. vis : 1 1 A u v'; , il l . f " If - m j Rein doesn't see battle of Pack offense, Heel defense Carolina's Sue Strahl (14) prepares to return a volley in UNC's win Tuesday night over N.C.

State's Coach Bo Rein said Wednesday the game Saturday between his team and the I ar Heels will not be a matter ol a Wolf pack offense versus a Tar Heel defense. "The factor ol our ollense against their defense is overplayed." he said. lo make his point. Rein showed game films of some ol State's defensive players whom he said had not received much recognition. He would show a play, run the film back and show it again. Defenders like strong safety Ralph Stringer, tackle Tom Prongay and middle guard A. W. Jenkins were shown, as an excited Rein narrated the action, including plays he called "the best defensive plays I've seen this year." "We have some great defensive players." he said. But he admitted he is worried about Carolina's defense. " I hey make great game-day adjustments." he said. "The more I look at their defense, the more I'm impressed with their linebackers and defensive ends." State relies on its tough, versatile quarterback Johnny Evans and a strong backfield to move the ball. "I'm worried more about our offensive mistakes than with our defense," he said. "One thing is that we're very, very versatile. I think we have as many guns as Texas Tech (which defeated Carolina 10-7 two weeks ago). 1 don't care who we play; our offense will win the game for us." Rein was philosophical about the game between the two biggest rivals in North Carolina, a game that could be for the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. "We work the hell out of our players," he said. "That prevents tightness. It's like having your fist balled up tight for three hours and then trying to hit someone. You can't even swing." There are three kinds of football players, Rein said. "There are players that make things happen, players that see things happen and players who wonder what happened. The men in this game are the kind that will make things happen. There'll be more players playing like cra?y men. I hope 1 don't get hurt on the sidelines." If the game is a close one, the outcome could be decided by the kicking game. State's Evans is an exceptional punter, one of the best in the nation, and is averaging 42.6 yards per punt this season. Carolina punter Johnny Elam is averaging only 34.3 yards t per punt after a good season last year. Carolina is also suffering in punt returns, with a minus-two yard return average. ft V?i'H4 fi jrVr ''' I - I t ir , . Pack tops offenses, Heels lead defenses N.C. State boasts two of the ACC's three leading rushers, with Ted Brown and Billy Ray Vickers (above) ranking behind Wake Forest's James MacDougald. State quarterback Johnny Evans leads Clemson's Steve Fuller by a fraction in total individual offense, while the Pack leads the conference in team offense. Carolina's Amos Lawrence ranks fourth in rushing. UNC still leads in team defense, but Clemson, which has won four straight games, has moved into a very close second. The Heels are allowing 239.2 yards a game, the Tigers 246.8. Carolina leads in pass defense and scoring defense while Clemson heads the rushing defense list. The Tar Heels are fourth in total offense, third in rushing, fifth in passing and third in scoring. "We don't have an advantage in the kicking game," Rein said. "Who's to say E lam's not going to average 50 yards against us. State officials said the Highway Patrol estimates that, 50,000 to 60,000 cars will be in the area of Carter Stadium Saturday because of the game and the State Fair, which opens Saturday on the fairgrounds adjacent to the stadium.
