Walk-on Bell keeps improving,

She was born with a silver putter in her
hands. She was raised in Southern Pines.
N.C., the golfing capital of the United
States, and her mother was a touring
professional on the LPGA circuit.
But Bonnie Bell was not interested in
golf. In high school she preferred
basketball to golf. Two years ago she was
a student at Rollins College in Florida
studying to be a teacher.
The golfer in her finally was aroused
that year during her fall semester at
Rollins. The following January she
transferred to UNC to pursue the game
seriously. She joined the golf team as a
walk-on.
Today, Bell, a senior, is the No. 1 golfer
on the UNC team that is competing in the
Tar Heel Invitational today at Finley
G olf Course. Her goal is to make it to the
pros. She has a long way to go, but she
already has come a long way in just two
years.
"A year ago it (the LPGA) seemed like
a long-shot. But I've improved a lot over
the last year," Bell said.
In her first semester at UNC, Bell
struggled with the game and qualified to
play in only a few tournaments. Last year
she broke into the starting lineup and by
June, she tied for team medalist honors
with Susan Cary in the A1AW national
tournament.
I his season Bell has improved her per
round average four strokes to 80.4. tops
on the team.
If I can keep improving at the present
pace I'll have a shot at it (the LPGA). My
goal is to make it two years from now .
Bell attributes part of her rapid
improvement to hard work, but most of it
to her involvement in the Fellowship of
Christian Athletes.
"FCA has been my most enjoyable and
beneficial experience at UNC." Bell said.
lt has helped my game more than
anything.'"
"A lot of golf is mental, more so than
any other game. Since my involvement
with FCA I've developed a lot more
confidence in my game and a lot more sell
control on the course. I don't blow up as
easily as I used to when I make a couple of
bad shots."
Bell said while collegiate golf is a team
game, it still boils down to individual
competition.
It can get pretty lonely out there on
the course sometimes, especially when
you're playing bad. It's good to know
there's always someone you can look to
for reassurance." '
Last week at the Lady Seminole
Invitational at Florida State University.
Bell's play at one point reached a level
beyond which no improvement is
possible she fired a hole in one. The
LPGA may not be as far in the future as
Bonnie Bell thinks it is.

Kevin Kane boots one out of danger
...seven shutouts in 78
By BILL FIKLDS
Staff V riter
UNC soccer coach Anson Dorrance Monday called
the Clemson Tigers "a much better team" than the far
Heels, but he and the Tar Heels are quite happy about
the outcome of Sunday's key ACC matchup.
Carolina and its stingy defense thwarted the efforts of
Clemson's speedy, talented group of foreigners and
gained a scoreless tie with the No. 2-ranked Tigers.
The tie means a number of things for the far Heels,
the most important beingthat the Heels remain tied w ith
Clemson for the ACC lead. Secondly. Carolina will
receive a boost in national prominence; the shutout was
Clemson's first in 32 games.
"The whole team played m exceptionally well."
Dorrance said, running down a list of names which
included almost the , entire squad. "This one helps
everything the ACC and NCAA chances."
"Everybody played well for the first time in awhile."
said sweeper Ed Fenimore, who was part of the defensive
"effort. ; . : 'r V':" ' "' ' "
"We ' partially dominated the first 1 5 minutes." he said.
Fenimore noted that the highly talented Clemson
offense was predictable, often running the same
patterns. ,
Fenimore played another role in the Carolina
effort: that of a strategist. Dorrance said Fenimore
suggested a new formation for Carolina to use against
the Tigers, a 4-4-2 alignment, the same which Clemson
employs.
The 4-4-2, Dorrance said, gave Carolina better
coverage across the field than its normal formation, a I-3-1-3-2.
"It was effective," Dorrance said.
Kevin Kane also was effective. Kane, a sophomore
who stepped into the goalie's position when senior
Martin Trimble developed calcium deposits, recorded
his seventh shutout.
, "The game made me feel better." Kane said. "I guess it
is something to write home about." he said alter learning "
that it was the first Clemson shutout in many moons.
Kane had nine saves, one which Dorrance called
"tremendous" when a Clemson player had an open head
shot from close in. Kane extended his body lengthwise,
knocking the ball out of the goal with his hand.
While the defense yielded nothing., the far Heels
likewise were stopped by Clemson, UNC had seven shots
on goal; Clemson fired 14 shots.
"It could have been 2-0 our way after two minutes."
said Martin Trimble, who viewed the game from the
sidelines. "It wasn't like they dominated. They are not
that far ahead of us."
Leading scorer Steve Scott and utility player David
Blum said the team wasn't awed by Clemson's
reputation. In fact, they said Clemson seemed to have its
problems on the field.
"It did seem like they had an attitude problem at
times." Blum said. "Clemson seemed lackadaisical part
of the time," Scott said. ' ; , . ,
Clemson coach I.M. Ibrahim was anything but
lackadaisical, at one point breaking a "penalty marker
across his knee when the referee whistled a foul on a key
player, two Tar Heels reported.
1 brahim called the game the best effort the Tigers have
made this year.
And while Carolina also gave its best against the
Tigers, they can't afford to relax. A conference game
with Duke in Durham on Wednesday is certain to be a
tough one.
"1 wish we didn't have to play Duke so soon after
Clemson," . Dorrance said. "They are the most
underrated team in the South."
"A tie with Clemson won't mean anything is we lose to
Duke," Kane said.
