V C The Dsily Tar Heel Monday. March 26. 1979 S'iicEiirsieii Ibeat W&L isu SioinnLe opener, 13-6 Dy DILL FIELDS Assistant Sports Editor UNC lacrosse coach Willie Scroggs got two presents Saturday afternoon. One was very sweet a 13-6 victory over Washington & Lee for his first win as a Tar Heel. The second present came from one of his small daughters a handful of weeds gathered during the game. Scroggs was so happy with the first present he put his daughter's gift right in his jacket pocket. He'd have probably accepted any kind of accolade after this win, and after all, it's the thought that counts. The thoughts of winning one for the Carolina Blue have been in Scroggs mind since he took over for Paul Doty, who left the program last year amid a host of problems and dissension. Saturday's win moved Carolina lacrosse forward one notch the first notch in the win column, an important step for any coach and team. "The team played real well, Scroggs said. "The win is great. The boys believe in themselves now." Scroggs meant nothing demeaning in referring to his team as boys because the Tar Heels resembled anything but a bunch of kids on the field. Their enthusiasm on the bench, though, was youthful all the way. The Tar Heels got six goals in the first period to put them ahead to stay. After adding three more goals in the second period, UNC took a 9-4 lead in at halftime on the slippery Astroturf. Carolina added four more in the second half for security and relied on the goal play of Larry Myers to stop the W&L offense. Washington & Lee scored two quick goals in the fourth period, but the Carolina lead was too large. "We knew we had to keep pressure on them defensively and get more shots than we had against Virginia," Scroggs said. "Myers played his normal game, which is very good." With Myers and the defensemen applying pressure, attackmen Bob Volker and Monte Hill combined for seven goals to lead an aggressive offensive attack, which Scroggs had stressed during the week's practice sessions. Volker tallied four goals, with Hill scoring three. "We were really psyched up," Hill said. "It was a matter of putting it together. We tried to go for the goals more. In practice ! had been scoring and I knew it would come sometime." Midfielder Mark Stangl scored twice for Carolina. Vern Geddy, Tim Voelkel and Craig Rogers scored once. Defenseman Rip Davy scored one goal. John Black led Washington & Lee scoring with three goals apiece. George Santos and Jeff Fritz also scored. "This win will surely keep us in the national picture," Scroggs said. The Tar Heels are 1-1. "They don't get any easier, but it's nice to have the first one." -1, 1 1 1 in i iinui miiiiiipiiii"iwii'i'iii"iuii' ' imnvir" i i - s .. r $ V- ) . ::.:.? v ' r. 1 ' 5. 5 4. uTM Kim Snooks Weekend roundup Maim muddies golf Tar Heel's Brett Steidle ...in 13-6 win Saturday From Staff Reports Heavy weekend rains shortened the UNC men golfer's play in the Furman Invitational Tournament in Greenville, S.C. The rain forced cancellation of Saturday's round in the scheduled 54 hole tourney. Coach Devon B rouse's squad finished seventh in the tourney after having won its previous two tournaments. Florida took first with a 572 team score. Carolina finished at 592. Team scores were closely bunched together as UNC finished just four strokes out of third place. Phil Bland paced the Tar Heel's individual scoring with a 147. John McGough followed at 148, Mike West finished at 149, Kevin King shot 150 and Frank Fuhrer a 151. "It (rain) made things a mess," Brouse said. "We didn't really play well, and we didn't play poorly." The UNC women's golf team placed third in the rain-shortened Duke Women's Invitational Golf Tournament held Friday in Durham. Georgia led the 18-team tournament at the end of Friday's play with a 313 team score. Carolina finished at 331. Stephanie Kornegay and Kathy Graham led the Tar Heel's at 82. Page Kennedy shot 83, and Carla Daniel and Jill Nesbitt both carded 86. The, tournament was originally scheduled for Friday and Saturday, but due to heavy rains Friday night, Saturday's final round was canceled. UNCs men's track team won four events and the women's team captured three in the Richmond Invitational track meet Saturday in rainy Richmond, Va. The meet, at the Richmond University track, was delayed because of the rain. High jump competition was suspended, and the pole vault was canceled because of the weather. "We had some good performances considering the bad weather conditions," Coach Hubert West said. No team scores were kept in Richmond, but Carolina came away with four new school records: The quarter-mile relay team of Skip Miller, Broderick Bennett, Wayne Miller and Delbert Powell ran a 41-6; the women's two-mile relay team of Lindy Appen, Marie Sheehan, Karen Stevenson and Karen Fishier ran a 9:35.7; Liz Crowley tossed a javelin 1 34-6; and Lauren Lewis finished second in the 400-meter hurdles with a 68.9. The UNC men's fencers found a little redemption Saturday at the NCAA fencing championships in Princeton, N.J. After finishing a disappointing third in the ACC championships, the Tar Heels rebounded by placing seventh in the national tournament. Conference champ Maryland finished sixth and Clemson ninth. The Heel scored 96 team points. Wayne State took the title with 119 points. Team members participating for Coach Ron Miller's fencers included Rich Weil in the sabre, Tom Killian in the epee and Steve Bachmann in foil I - - kMWlMWlMteiriMHaMIM gjj V Men's tennis home vs. MIT at 2 p.m. competition. The men's tennis team lost 6-3 to the Miami Hurricanes Saturday at Miami. Chris Fenichell won the only singles match for the Heels when his opponent defaulted down 2-0 in the third set. Fenichell teamed with Tom Buford for one of two doubles wins. Dek Potts and Jeff Heier won the other. "We did all right for not having any veterans on the team," coach Don Skakle said. "Tax (No. 1 singles player Gary Taxman) was out with a bad back. We didn't even take him." The women's tennis team fared better, taking a 9-0 win over Michigan State Friday afternoon. The women did not lose a set in the match. The women's softball team lost 6-3 to East Carolina Saturday in Greensboro. At the NCAA swimming and diving championships, Carolina finished far down the list as California won the team title. Southern Cal was second. :; iMMbM urn3 i&m wmm C.Anheuser-Busch. Inc. St. Louis.

'Birdman v vs. 'Magic' tonight in NCAA final From Wire Reports Indiana State tries to become the ninth team in NCAA history to win the national championship with an undefeated record as the 33-0 Sycamores meet Michigan State at 9:15 tonight. Indiana State, led by national player of the year, Larry Bird, beat DePaul 76-74 Saturday to advance to the final. Michigan State ran its record to 25-6 by blowing out Penn 101-67 in the other semifinal. In the first game of the doubleheader, Michigan State jumped out to a 13-4 lead. Penn scored to make it 13-6, but the Quakers' next basket didn't come until Michigan State had run off 19 straight points to make it 32-6. The halftime score was 50-17. Earvin "Magic" Johnson led the Spartans with 29 points hitting nine of 10 field goals and M of 12 foul shots. He also had 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Greg Kelser added 28 and nine rebounds. Tony Price led Jpn with The second game was anything but lopsided. Indiana State and DePaul played nip and tuck the first half, and 1SU managed a three-point lead after 20 minutes. The Sycamores stretched their lead to 11 with about 10 minutes to play, but DePaul came back to tie at 71 with 5:12 left. The Blue Demons took the lead 73-71 and again at 74-73 with 90 seconds left. ISU got the lead back 75-74 with 45 seconds left, and DePaul called time with 36 seconds to set up a final shot but could do not better than a fall away 15-footer with six seconds left. Indiana State's Leroy Staley grabbed the rebound and was fouled. He sunk one of two shots for the final margin. Bird scored 35 points on 16-of-19 shooting and had 16 rebounds and nine assists. Mark Aguirre and Gary Garland had 18 apiece for DePaul, which played only five men. DePaul and Penn meet at 6:30 in the consolation game. The final will be televised starting at 9 p.m. on Channel 28.
