Undefeated netters play host to Furman,Yale By WILL WILSON Staff Writer One might think the UNC women's tennis team would be ripe for a letdown al ter its big win Tuesday over Duke and its Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship last week. The Tar Heels, 5-0 in dual matches this fall, host Furman at 2 p.m. today and Yale at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, both on the Country Club Road courts. A letdown could come against the Paladins, whom UNC regularly beat, but one is much less likely versus the Eli. The reason is simple Yale dealt Carolina an unexpected 6-3 loss here last spring. In that match, the Tar Heels had no prior inkling that their opponent was that strong. Most of the matches were close, with UNC dropping four three-setters in singles. Predictions based on that match are not too valid since both teams have four different faces in their starting lineups this fall. Only Susie Black and Janet Shands return for Carolina from the spring match, and Shands was the lone Tar Heel to win in singles. New UNC players are Carney Timberlake, who was injured last season, and freshmen Lloyd Hatcher, Margaret Scott and Betty Baugh Harrison. Yale's Susie Graham (at No. 2) and AnneSeidler(No. 3), both seniors, return to face Carolina. They are joined by freshmen Natalie Smith (No. I), Janice Debuno (No. 4), Lynn Garfinkel (No. 5) and Barbara Kallen (No. 6). Graham beat Black 6-3,0-6,6-4 last spring and Seidler defeated Lisa Dodson 2-6, 7-5, 7-5. The Eli are 4-0 this fall entering a match today against Duke. They have beaten Rhode Island. Smith, Williams and Southern Connecticut. The Furman team Carolina faces today had played only one match this fall, a 7-2 loss to Wake Forest, before facing the Deacons again Thursday. Carolina beat Wake 9-0 last month. The Tar Heels have had no trouble with Furman in recent matches, winning 7-2 last season and 8-1 twice the year before. Gone from the Paladin lineup this fall is Mary Ellis Nicholson, who won the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Region II Tournament here in May. Expected to start today for Furman are Kathy Moore, Becky Cox, Sue Houch, Abby Kennedy. Katheleen Sheehan and Beverly Stephens, in that order.
