-country teams look for solid finishes in ACCs
By SCOTT CANTERBERRY
Staff Writer
Two runners who haven't gotten publicity as their
teams leaders this fall may be the keys for the UNC
men's and women's cross country teams in Saturday's
ACC championships.
Senior Jack Morgan and sophomore Karol
Chambers could make the difference if the teams are
going to improve upon their expected finishes at the
Finley Golf Course, coach Don Lockerbie said.
The men's team, a preseason fifth-place pick in the
ACC along with N.C. State, will be fighting this
weekend for third or fourth place in the ACC, a
possible spot in the nation's Top 20, and some
confidence going into the District III championships,
Lockerbie said.
A strong team finish in the Furman Invitational
two weeks ago was just another big lift for the UNC
men in a season full of surprising success
"This could be the closest ACC meet in recent years.
Clemson and Virginia are the team favorites."
The key figure in the men's finish could be Morgan,
who had an outstanding race on the Finley course,
at the Tar Heel Invitational last month, Lockerbie
said.
Jack could be the real spark for us," he said. "He
has the ability to do well."
George Nicholas, UNC's top threat all season, has
emerged as one of the favorites for the individual
championship with an early-season win at the Western
Ontario Invitational and a third-place finish at
Furman.
Jim Farmer, who was almost redshirted because
of an injury that kept him from training until a month
ago, had an unbelievable race in his first race of the
season at Furman, Lockerbie said. Farmer finished
third for the team and should be helped this weekend
by the shorter five-mile course.
Last week's death of Clemson star Stijn Jaspers,
the preseason favorite to win the ACC title, has
changed the complexion of the race for the individual ,
title.
Jaspers, who finished second in the ACC meet last
fall and competed on the Netherlands Olympic team,
was found dead Friday in his room. Officials said
he apparently died of congestive heart failure.
"The whole psyche of the race changes (without
Jaspers)," Lockerbie said, explaining that Jaspers
would go out hard and make his competitors run
with him. No one else has consistently shown that
tendency, he said.
Hopes for the UNC women to move up into the
nation's top five this fall and challenge for the ACC
title were crushed with the loss of junior Kathy
Norcross, who was injured in an automobile accident
before the season opener.
"With Kathy, we would be fighting for that victory,"
Lockerbie said. Instead, the team is picked to finish
a very solid third behind conference favorites State
and Clemson.
But, Lockerbie said the team still has an outside
chance at winning the team title if the women run
the best race of their lives and the top two teams
falter. "We're prepared to run our best race."
That outside chance of winning will be hinged on
the performance of sophomore Chambers, Lockerbie
said. Chambers has been training with team leaders
Holly Murray and Madlyn Morreale, but has not
been able to race with them yet, he said.
With a good run from Chambers and top seven
finishes from Murray and Morreale, the team could
move up, he said.
The women's race will begin at 3 p.m. followed
by the men's race at 3:45 p.m.

Chaos in the heavens
Something was amiss. There was
disorder among the planets; chaos in
the heavens. I looked once more at the
newspaper before me.
For the second time: North Carolina
I, George Mason 1.
I was sure of it now. The end was
at hand.
The North Carolina women's soccer
team gave up a goal Saturday, allowina
George Mason to tie and ending a 26
game winning streak.
Michael DeSisti
" The hold on invincibilitywas
slipping.
It takes these things being exagger
ated into near-catastrophies to instill a
sense of vulnerability in a team that for
more than three years has proved
virtually invulnerable.
Nobody was fooled by Saturday's tie.
The International Soccer Association of
America still had North Carolina, 18-0-1,
ranked No. 1 in its weekly poll on
Tuesday. But at least one person
showed concern. I think it was more
of an obligatory concern, though.
"We have to remind ourselves why
we are the national champions," head
coach Anson Dorrance said Tuesday.
"We talked about it yesterday. We're
not national champions because we
have the best players, we're not national
champions because we've been there
before. The reason we're the national
champions is because we play with
tremendous intensity on the field. We
intimidate people."
Forget the field. North Carolina
intimidates people on paper. Three
consecutive national championships, a
75-3-1 record since 1981 and a scoring
margin of 477-29 in the process can do
that.
Dorrance recalled a tournament in
Washington last season where he was
the Western Sizzlin
TASTE makes all the

approached by a Washington Post
reporter who wanted to know why so
many opposing coaches complained
about the Tar Heels' physical play and
the number of fouls they were assessed
most games.
"I said, 'Well, we train our women
to play like men.' She didn't ask any
more questions after that."
North Carolina is so dominant at
times that after the Tar Heels get a two-or-three-goal
lead, Dorrance imposes
restrictions to keep the score respecta
ble: a maximum of one or two touches
before passing the ball, scoring only
with the head, knocking the ball around
the defensive half for as long as possible
that kind of stuff.
"We're one of the pioneers in wom
en's soccer, and the last thing we want
to do is humiliate another team,"
Dorrance said.
In 1979, UNC had the only women's
varsity soccer team east of the Missis
sippi and south of Washington. Today,
there are nearly two dozen teams in that
same region. The NCAA recognizes 155
varsity teams nationwide, as compared
to 78 in 1981.
Parity as it exists: There are first-year
teams still learning the game, and there
are third-and-fourth-year teams still
learning the game. There are teams that
know the game.
And there is North Carolina.
"If we play our best," Dorrance said,
"we can't be beat."
At the five-team North Carolina
Invitational that opened UNC's season
here in September, the Tar Heels played
back-to-back games on consecutive
days against relatively well-rested
teams. There was, however, a half-hour
interval allowed between games for the
opposing team to warm up. North
Carolina spent the time practicing.
"It was a good opportunity for us,
having just played a match, to review
some of the problems in it," he said.
You can imagine the problems.
