The Daily Tar HeelFriday, March 27, 19875
Sports
UNC: To choke or not to choke
AL: Damn, I can't believe the
Heels choked again.
BILLY: Choked? A 32-win season
is hardly made or broken by one
game.
AL: 32 wins? So what. What have
we got to show for it? N.C. State
lost twice as many games as we did,
but they have an ACC champion
ship. What good is it to sit through
the whole movie if you leave right
before the big finish?
BILLY: Yeah, right, State is a
good comparison. They lost in the
first round of the NCAA's. We won
consistently throughout the whole
season.
AL: Consistency! The only thing
we have done consistently is find a
way to lose the ACC and NCAA
tournament every year since 1982.
My half-court jumper is more con
sistent than that.
BILLY: Good Grief, you're more
spoiled than Webster. We can't win
every so-called big game for fans like
you who think all Dean has to do
is push a button and it is an
automatic in the UW" column. We've
made the final 16 for the past seven
years and you still whine. Most
teams rejoice in just making the
tournament at all.
AL: Well, the way 1 see it, when
vou have rocks to fight with, you
should beat somebody that has water
balloons. We have had as much
talent as anybody, and we certainly
Patton McDoweD
In Your Face
have one of the best, if not the best,
coach in the land.
BILLY: Oh, so Syracuse is a water
balloon? How about Louisville last
year? 1 don't recall the Cardinals'
balloon ever bursting, or Villanova's
the year before. Losing to the
national champion two years in a
row is not exactly folding to Navy
on your home court, like Syracuse
did last year, or losing to Austin Peay
in the first round, ala Illinois a few
weeks ago.
AL: How about in 1983 when we
had Jordan and Perkins and we lost
to a tremendously less-talented
Indiana team when some guy named
Dan Dakitch shuts down Jordan? I'd
say that calls for the Heimlich
manuver or something.
BILLY: How about we had a bad
game? The guys are great players,
but they are human. Only one team
can go all the way in this day and
age, and there are quite a few, given
the right fortunes, that could go all
the way. Lets compare UNC to
Jordan for example. He can argua
bly beat anyone in the NBA in one-on-one.
But if he played 30 of the
leagues best, someone could prob
ably get him on a bad day. It might
be Dominique Wilkins, or it might
be Dave Corzine. Stranger things
have happened fn the realm of sports.
AL: Call it what you like, I still
think the Tar Heels need to take
smaller bites and chew their food
better. Dean must not motivate the
players enough. We play like we are
afraid to lose; almost like robots.
BILLY: Robots? You look like a
robot. I'd say the 70 points we scored
down at Clemson in the second half
was hardly robotic. The second game
against Notre Dame was like a
Mardi Gras when J.R. slammed
twice in the last minute. Just because
Dean does not do ballet on the
sideline and jump on the scorer's
table to lead cheers doesn't mean he
is not a. motivator.
AL: Well, I guess 1 can wait until
next year, but I don't know.
BILLY: Yeah, you probably don't
know. Like Andy Warhol said,
everybody has their 15 minutes to
be famous; I guess our quarter-hour
didn't come this year.
AL: Why don't you let Warhol stick
to soup cans. We should be in New
Orleans right now.
BILLY: I don't know where you
should be, but as Jerry Tarkanian
said, you have to be good and lucky.
Hopefully, we saved all of the
former, and will find a lot of thr latter
for next year.
AL: Yeah, next year.

The final weekend in March is annually a busy
sports weekend and 1987 is no exception. From hoops
to lacrosse this sporting weekend will provide variety
and spice enough for even the most demanding sports
enthusiast.
You know all about the Final Four. Back on the
homefront, the UNC men's tennis team takes to the
court against Presbyterian College on Saturday and
the Cavaliers of Virginia Sunday at the UNC Tennis
Center. Match times are 1:30 p.m. both days.
The Tar Heel baseball team opened its grueling
ACC schedule this week and continues this weekend
against Duke in Durham on Saturday. On Sunday
arch-rival N.C. State will be at Boshamer to try to
put a stop to the hot Tar Heels. The Tar Heels have
won nine straight contests.
Just as the baseball team is on a streak, so is the
UNC softball team. The 1987 team has avoided
injuries and won its way to a 13-3 record.
Following Monday's 5-0, 9-7 double-dip sweep
over Ohio, second-year coach Donna Papa has the
Tar Heels in high gear. This weekend Papa would
like to see the Tar Heels go into overdrive when they
face East Carolina in a double-header Saturday.
Tar Heel tracksters will be in action this weekend
in the ACC Relays in Raleigh. The UNC gymnasts
will host N.C. State and Maryland at the ACC
Invitational Saturday at 7 p.m. in Carmichael
Auditorium. The Tar Heel golfers will be participating
in the Iron Duke Classic in Durham this weekend
and the UNC Water Polo squad will host the 1987
Spring Tar Heel Invitational in Koury Natatorium.
Finally, the top two lacrosse teams in the land
will square off Saturday as UNC's defending
champion takes on Maryland. Both the Tar Heels
and the Terrapins are 5-0 and UNC coach Willie
Scroggs is wary of the Terps. "I think Maryland may
be the best team in the country right now. . . . They're
big, strong and very deep," he said. The showdown
will start at 2 p.m. at Maryland's Byrd Stadium.
Hoog sparkles in baseball's 5-3 win
NCAAs end season for UNC fencers
By LAURA GRIMMER
Staff Writer
Cris Kaiser and Nhi Lan Le, both
foil fencers, led the Tar Heels as they
finished 15th and 16th, respectively,
at the NCAA Fencing Champion
ships at Notre Dame this past
weekend.
Sabre fencer Karl Elmore finshed
21st and fellow sabremen Mike
Vecchiolla was 30th. Epee fencer
Pete Farquhar finshed 21st.
Although both the men's and
women's teams were represented at
the tournament, neither of the teams
earned berths as a whole.
"The women had beaten six of the
teams that competed at Notre Dame
in the regular season," Miller said.
"The problem is that only two teams
from the East got to go, and we have
a very strong conference.
"The NCAA has finally changed
that rule, and so I'm certain the
women will be going next year,
without a doubt."
Elmore is the only North Carolina
fencer who has competed in the
nationals before, in 1985 and 1986.
He finished 23rd and 20th then.
As far as NCAA team results go,
the men finished 14th and the UNC
women were 13th. According to the
coaches' poll from En Garde mag
azine, the men were ranked 7th
nationally and the women 8th.
"Wc will be losing three starters
on the men's team Karl, Mike,
and Felix (Dover) but we have
some good depth coming back,
especially in epee," Miller said.

"The women won't be as hurt by
graduation," he said.
Le is the only UNC starter that
will leave, but an absence will be felt
by departing seniors Tracy Trout
man and Lisa Lambert, who con
tributed strongly to the Tar Heel
reserves, Miller said.
"I think the team fulfilled its
expectations for the season," he said.
Tm very proud of the way we fenced
at the nationals, and I think weVe
got an even better chance next year.
Well be returning with more expe
rience, which is invaluable in a sport
like fencing."

Forget the Police. After the UNC
baseball team played Duke Thurs
day at Boshamer Stadium, the Tar
Heels were driven not to tears, but
to smiles. Sparked by three solo
home runs and a sparkling perfor
mance on the mound by freshman
Michael Hoog, UNC picked up its
tenth win in a row by knocking off
the Blue Devils, 5-3.
The Tar Heels upped their record
to 14-6 overall, 2-0 in the ACC, while
Duke fell to 12-8-1 and 0-1.
This was the first time since the
Dixie Classic that UNC was tested
by a close game. The Tar Heels
banged out just four hits on the day,
but three of those were homers, and
they then manufactured two runs out
of the raw materials of speed and
some sloppy Duke fielding.
The five runs were enough for
Hoog, who went seven and 23
strong innings en route to his third
win of the year, against no losses.
Hoog threw 103 pitches, nearly all
of them fastballs and curves, and if
his tosses broke rto speed records,
they kept the Blue Devils off stride
all afternoon.
I was pleased with the fact that
I got a lot of ground balls," the husky
southpaw said. "But I could have
spotted the ball a little better. Ill
remember this one for a long time."
Hoog's memory of his first ACC
win will no doubt include the terrific
performance by his mound oppo
nent, righthander Kent Hetrick.
Hetrick looked, if anything, better
than Hoog, at least after the first
three innings. He went the distance,
striking out seven and giving up only
the aforementioned four hits. But the
trouble he got into early was still
around, an omnipresent spectre, late.
In the first inning, Hetrick gave
up back-to-back homers to shortstop
Darin Campbell and first baseman
Howard Freiling. CampbeLTs blow,
his seventh of the season, was a fluke,
as it glanced off the left fielder's glove
and over the fence. But there was
nothing fluky about Freiling's shot,
his ninth on the year, which was a
simply awesome bomb to right
center.
Chris DeFranco followed Freil
ing's sky steps in the second inning
with his first homer of the year. Steve
Mrowka turned a walk into a run
in the third. And although Hetrick
seized control of the game after that,
the damage was done.
Duke made a run at the Tar Heels
and scored two runs in the third
when freshman Doug Eastman
trickled a single down the right field
line. In the eighth, the Blue Devils
scored once and had men on first
and third with two outs when UNC
coach Mike Roberts called on
- fireman Doug Torborg. Torborg
doused the rally by getting Bob
Calamari to ground to second, and
closed out the ninth to garner his
second save of the year.
So Thursday, at least, the Tar
Heels could sing a song of victory.
And with Hoog on the mound, it
probably sounded something like we
can't, we can't, we can't stand losing.
