UNCs Trcsa Drown defends against Duke
... averages .16.5 points and 7.6 rebounds
By ROBYN NORWOOD
' Staff Writer
Jennifer Alley has had reason for some impatient toe
tapping this season. Somewhere along the way to her Tar
Heels' 17-5 record the question began to bob to the surface
of post-game conversations: "Good enough for the Top 20,
coach?" By the time UNC defeated well-respected and
ranked N.C. State, it was almost a ritual.
But the result seemed as well rehearsed as the rehashed
question. Poll in and poll out, North Carolina was never
there. Alley in frustration: "I think you must have to start
the season in the poll to be in there. There just doesn't seem
to be anything you can do to convince them to let you in.
And once they're in, nothing they do wrong seems to knock
them out."
But the Tar Heels were outsiders then. Now, after a
74-70 upset of Maryland, North Carolina is on the inside
and hoping the padlock the Alley .saw on the rankings is as
secure as she imagined.
Enter the Virginia Cavaliers. Owners of a fair-to-middling
13-7, 4-5 in the ACQ record, Coach Debbie
Ryan's club upset UNC in overtime, 78-74, in. the teams'
last meeting. f "
Behind the strength of forwardVCathy Grimes' 25 points,
UVa. handed the Tar Heels theirnly loss of the season to
an unranked opponent. That loss to the Wahoos is the only
reason North Carolina is sitting in a second-place tie in the
ACC race instead of an outright first, ahead of Maryland
and ahead of the Pack.
So the Tar Heels have a chance to atone for all that
Saturday at 2 p.m. in Carmichael, where they have yet to
lose this season.
UNC assistant . coach Mike Peckham attributed the
earlier lost to UVa. to a lack of intensity and too many turn
novers. "We didn't start from the beginning in that game and we
never quite got it together," he said. "We would get the re
bound and the outlet pass and then turn the ball over."
Peckham also cited Virginia's scouting. "Everybody we
play knows what we're going to do. They know we're going
inside. They know we run a motion offense."
Sure, they know what to expect; UNCs offense is
relatively simple. Basically, the object is to get the ball to
Kathy Crawford, Tresa Brown or Henrietta Walls
whoever's hot. Usually, that's two of the three. Pam Leake
and Pam Hammond pop jumpers from the outside and
steer the fast break. Simple. But try stopping it. Defensive
ly, the only thing the Cavs can count on is that the Tar
Heels will mix it up. North Carolina will take advantage of
its superior quickness with a meat-and-potatoes, man-toman
defense. But UNC won't hesitate to throw out a half
court trap, 1-3-1 , or other change of pace defense to stop or
at least slow down, the Cavs' Grimes, who is thrid in ACC
scoring, and guard Lyn Anas(asio, who hit for 19 in the
upset.

Maybe it was because University
Lake was falling from the sky and
threatening to freeze. Maybe it was
because half of campus housing was
doing some star gazing the night before
from the steps of Carmichael on past
the Bell Tower. Maybe it was because it
was Wednesday. '
But probably it was because of the
team. Villanova.
There was no big rush to get tickets
for Sunday's 1 p.m. game with the
Wildcats. Dean Smith takes the season
one game at a time, and it may have
rubbed off. Everybody seems to have
been worrying about Virginia. And
that's not surprising.
But Villanova may be.
The Wildcats bring a No. 12 national
ranking into Chapel Hill for what is a
matchup between fw" of the premiere
teams from the two premiere con
ferences in college hoops.
People look at the ACC with amaze
ment. Two of the top three teams in the
nation are fromthesame conference.
That's unheard of. But those same peo
ple have but to look a bit further down
the poll for the real shocker.
Villanova plays basketball in the Big
East. So does St. John's (No. 7). So
does Georgetown (No. 14). And so
does Syracuse (No. 15). Now let's talk
about amazing.
Coach Rollie Massimino's team is
15-4 overall, and 8-2 in the conference.
The Wildcats have two All-Americas
up front in 6-foot-8 senior John Pinone
(16.5 ppg, 5.7 rpg) and Ed Pinckney
(13.7 ppg. 9.8 rpg, 38 blocked shots).
And they may have a third if point
guard Stewart Granger (13.9 ppg, 5.7
assists) finishes out the season as well as
he's started it.
But it's only Villanova.
Grapplers drop match to Pack
The North Carolina wrestling team started
strong, winning the first two matches in their
second meeting of the season with 14th-ranked
N.C. State, but the Tar Heels sputtered in the
middle-weight classes and fell to the Wolfpack
in Raleigh, 24-14.
UNC got victories from Al Palacio at 118
and John Aumiller at 126 in a repeat per
formance of the match in Chapel Hill hnt th
Tar Heels dropped four of the next five, and,
in the process, the match. Jan Michaels got a
victory at 177, and Tim Plott and Bob Shriner
tied their opponents , to keep it close, but
monster-heavyweight Tab Thacker pinned
Tony Lasalandra to seal the win.

Swim teams lose to S.C. Gamecocks
By TRACY YOUNG
SUff Writer
Something happened to the UNC swim teams in Col
umbia, S.C. Wednesday something that hadn't hap
pened to the women's team yet this season. Both teams
lost.
In a dual meet with South Carolina that Coach Frank
Comfort felt both of his teams could win, the women lost
75-74 and the men, 61-52. The women's team now stands
at 9-1, while the men dropped to 4-3.
"We just have to use this as a learning experience,"
Comfort said. "We have to use it as a stepping stone in
preparation for the conference."
Co-captain Sue Walsh led the Tar Heels as usual. Walsh
won the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 56.53 and the
200-yard backstroke in 2:01.91. She also was a member of
the winning 200-yard medley relay team (1:47.47). Other
members of the team were Polly Winde, Jenny Strickland
and Amy Pless.
Strickland captured the 100-yard breaststroke in 1 :06.42
and the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:24.32.
Pless won' the 100-yard individual medley in 59.07.
Winde took the 400-yard individual medley with a time of
4:21.91.
Cay Andres, the only UNC winner who had not been
on the 200 medley relay team, won the 500-yard freestyle
in 4:56.42. The time was her season best.
Comfort said he knew the men's meet would be close,
no matter what the outcome.
Co-captain Tim Sutton, Roger Vredeveld, Scott Ham
mond and Dirk Marshall won the 400-yard medley relay in
3:28.34. Marshall, Geoff Cassell, Eric Ericson and co
captain Mark Welker took the other relay, the 400-yard
freestyle relay, with a time of 3:05.34.
Ericson also won the 200-yard backstroke (1:51.23).
Chris Stevenson brought in the other UNC wins with
his first places in the 1000-yard freestyle (9:40.04) and the
200-yard butterfly (1:52.55).
Comfort said losing all of the diving events was hard for
the Tar Heel divers.
"Their divers are very good," Comfort said. "We're
diving better than we ever have before. It's just frustrating
to lose."
Gymnasts head south to Tuscaloosa
By FRANK KENNEDY
Staff Writer
North Carolina's gymnasts are averaging almost
170 points per meet. Alabama's gymnasts are averag
ing almost 180 points per meet. The Tar Heels are in
Tuscaloosa today to face that same Alabama team.
Hmm. Could be tough.
UNC coach Dick Galvin is certainly not unrealistic
about the Tar Heels' chances against one of the na
tion's top five teams.
"Sure, we'd love to win it," Galvin said. "But we
don't have to win it to accomplish our objectives.
"Alabama has some girls who excel in the high-risk
and high-difficulty routines and therefore their poten
tial to score is higher than ours. I don't think we have
the difficulty in our routines to score 180 points, but
we certainly can turn in a fine performance," Galvin
said.
Galvin knows what he's talking about, because
right now the No. 1 priority for UNC, as with any
NCAA squad, is to turn in the kind of overall scores,
not overall record, that will send the team to the
Eastern Regionals.
- "Currently, we're ranked in the top eight out of the
35 teams in our region, so we're hanging in there,"
said Galvin, noting that the top seven squads will ad
vance to postseason competition.
"We have to have a good meet, and by playing
some of the best teams in the country, we become
stronger. We may take some losses along the way, but
the girls know that scores are more important," the
coach said.
The Crimson Tide finished second in the nation last
year, and is threatening to finish even higher this year.
Last week, the Heels had their best meet of the
season, but came up three points short of 1982's No. 4
team nationally, West Virginia.
For a meet of this stature, each individual member
of the team prepares herself differently. Two UNC
gymnasts look upon this kind of match in contrasting
form.
Anne Ruppert finds herself more motivated by
.competition like Alabama. "You naturally look for
' ward to this more than a lesser match because we tend
to perform better against high-caliber teams," Ruppert
said.
"You can get a little intimidated if you watch them
(Alabama) too much, but if you do your own routines
well, they don't bother you," she said.
Junior Allison Hunter tries to keep herself on a
fairly even keel for each meet, regardless of the oppo
nent. She agrees that it is the team performance, not
just how many "ones" are placed in the win column,
that matters.
