Dilweg capped the first one with an 18-yard strike to a wide-open Keith Ewell at the 12:52 mark, and Boone took care of the second Duke TD with a 14-yard burst through the attempted tackles of Terrence Fedd and Doxie Jordan. That made the score 14-0, Duke, and, as UNC safety Victor Bullock noted, the Tar Heels were, . . definitely down . . . upset with our selves because we didn't play well at all. It was a similar situation to what happened against Virginia." To their credit, rather than pack it in and resign themselves to a 1 10 fate, the Tar Heels gradually fought back, just as they had done r mm )my mlo , (li'-.H-- ..JttliV.t Student tickets are the following games: UNC vs. Stanford Monday evening, Nov. 28 UNC vs. Vanderbilt Wednesday evening, Dec. 7 HOW TO GET YOUR TICKETS: Present your student ID and athletic pass at the Smith Center Box Office between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Students may also purchase guest tickets in ad dition to their complementary student tickets. vzz We're The a ff JOIN OUR TEAM!

CHAPEL HILL, NC S v s , , DTH Brian Foley corner in Saturday's season-ending 35-29 loss at Duke the week before in wiping out an early 2 1 -point deficit against the Cavaliers. The key play in the turnaround was a rare fumbled quarterback sneak. On fourth-and-1 from the UNC 45, Dilweg took the snap and hesitated just a second before heading into the line. That allowed the surging Tar Heel line to knock the ball out of his hands, and H oilier recovered. Seven running plays cut the score " to 14-7, with Martin bulling his way in from the 4 to cap the march. Duke's next possession ended with Peterson missing a 47-yard field-goal attempt. Six more running plays, highlighted by Martin's 33-yard dash around left end and his 16-yard scoring run off right tackle, quickly tied the score with 12:28 to play in the second quarter. Apparently unsatisfied with the recent developments, Dilweg hit still available for n p One For You" V VMM ax ' ' V.J from page 12 record-setting flanker Clarkston Hines for gains of eight and 18 yards, then beat the blitz and found Ewell along the left sideline behind a toasted Clarence Carter. That was all the scoring in the first half until Boone broke off a 33-yard run down to the UNC 8. From there, Dilweg softly tossed to a lonesome Hines at the back of the end zone to regain the two-touchdown bulge 1:26 before the half. Duke nearly added to that margin when defensive back Mike Diminick intercepted Burnett and returned the miscue to the UNC 8 with 21 seconds left. But linebacker Bernard Tim mons picked off Dilweg's pass at the back of the end zone to give UNC . a measure of momentum entering the locker room. An aroused North Carolina defense then played its best half of the year, ending Duke's first three possessions with an interception, a fumble recovery and a near interception. Meanwhile, the Hall-led Tar Heel offense picked up nine points on Clint Gwaltney's 23-yard field goal and Michael Benefield's 6-yard run. UNC went for two, but Hall's1" pass was batted down, leaving the score 28-23. While Duke's offense continued to struggle, the Tar Heels later moved 76 yards in seven plays to take their first lead of the game. James Thomp son's 5-yard plunge was the capper, but Martin's off-tackle run on the two-point try came up short, leaving UNC ahead 29-28 with 10 minutes to go. But the Tar Heels wouldn't score again, leaving the door cracked for a last-minute Duke comeback. When a UNC drive stalled at the Blue Devil 39 and Scott McAlister punted just 21 yards, Duke had the ball back at its own 24 with 4:05 to play. Brown said he was proud of his team, which, after losing by 45 points to N.C. State midway through the season, won once and then dropped three of its final four contests by a total of 12 points. "Nobody can ever question these young guys' character," he said. "This football team has had some tough times, but we hung in there and we're much better than we were five weeks ago. I think we made tremendous improvement."

The Tar Heels are now one win away from that goal, as they advanced to the finals with victories over Georgia Tech on Saturday and Maryland on Sunday. North Carolina will face top seeded N.C. State in the ACC final for the title and the NCAA's auto matic tournament bid. The second-seeded Tar Heels opened against the Yellow Jackets. UNC showed no mercy to their hosts, beating Georgia Tech in three sets, 15-0, 15-10, 15-9. Junior Sharon German (15 kills, 1 1 digs) drilled a Sherri Vogel set into the floor on the game's first point, setting the tone that the Tar Heels meant business. UNC looked like a volleyball juggernaut and did not allow the Yellow Jackets a single point in the first game. North Carolina coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes was happy with the first-game performance. "We came out very, very strong," she said. "We' came out with a purpose, and we played very disciplined." - The Tar Heels kept it going in the second game. UNC ran out to a 7 1 lead, and it sounded like the fat lady was ready to sing. But the Yellow Jackets refused to buzz off. UNC seemed to get a bit overcon fident, and the Techsters used that, and their unorthodox style, to their advantage. Shots by UNC's Liz Berg and Vogel fell wide, thus narrowing the gap to 7-3. Tech continued the run until the Tar Heels led by a single point, 7-6, and called a timeout. "The problem with playing a team Swimmers By ERIC WAGNON Staff Writer The North Carolina women's swim team easily outdistanced second place N.C. State, while the Wolfpack men edged the Tar Heels in the third annual Carolina Pride Invitational at Koury Natatorium. Coming off dual meet wins over Florida State and Maryland and a loss to Southern" Methodist on Thursday, the UNC women's team scored 1,075 points to win the two day meet Friday and Saturday. N.C. State's women's team fol lowed far behind the Tar Heels with 776 points, while Florida State finished a close third with 774 points on the 10-team women's side. The Tar Heel men's squad didn't fare as well, though, finishing with 875.5 points, just behind N.C. State's 912 points and ahead of third-place Florida State's 742. Although Miami diver Scott Whitton won both the one- and three-meter events, the Hurricane men finished a distant fourth with 410.5 points. UNC sophomore All-American Hannah Turlish slashed her own Carolina Pride Invitational records in the 500-yard freestyle, clocking in at 4:50.41, and in the 400-yard IM with an NCAA qualifying time of 4:21.89. Turlish added an ACC-record time of 16:24.39 in the 1,650-yard freestyle, easily surpassing the NCAA qualify ing time of 16:38.09. Turlish's three paimish fast break UNC, 93-80 By NATALIE SEKICKY Staff Writer The UNC women's basketball team took a crash course in fast-break basketball Saturday night at Carmi chael Auditorium. Unfortunately, the lesson was a bit intense for the young Tar Heels, and they came out on the losing end of a 93-80 score in an exhibition contest against the National Team of Spain. The story of the game was apparent before it even started. During pre game warmups, as the Carolina players did a three- man weave, the Spanish team ran laps. While UNC did a layup drill, the Spanish players ran half-court sprints. While the Tar Heels tuned up their jumpers, the Spanish players stretched as if they were preparing for the Olympic 400 meter dash finals. Not one of them so much as touched a ball until there were just 9Vi minutes before the tip. Although very puzzling and some what humorous at the time, the mystery ceased to be amusing once the contest began. Soon, it was obvious that the Spanish players stretched because when they play hoops, they run. And they did not need to shoot much because they obviously do not need the practice. For the game, Spain shot a phenomenal 71 percent from the field, going 39 of 55, with seven of 1 1 from treyland. By comparison, UNC shot 45 percent, a respectable result for a very young team's first game. The Tar Heels were 35 of 75, 2 of 7 from three point land. moves into ACC like Georgia Tech is that they are not orthodox," Doppes said. "They don't pass, set, and spike like most of the teams we've played. They just keep the ball in play. I think that frustrated (our) kids. After (we) beat them 15 0, the kids thought 4 Okay, that's it, they're going to lay down and die.' "Georgia Tech isn't going to do that." , . The time-out regrouped UNC. Aces by Berg and Miriam Folford and a booming spike by Andrea Wells (15 kills, 8 digs) put the Tar Heels in charge again. Still, the Jackets did not die. Tech scored on three UNC mistakes and a spike by Margaret Gales to tie it at 10. Wells decided to settle matters her own way as she smashed through a Georgia Tech block for a side-out. German finished the job with kills on three of the last five points, all UNC's, and the Tar Heels prevailed, 15-10. The third game was similar in fashion: UNC led and Tech came back. Nonetheless, the Tar Heel talent was too great to overcome as UNC ended the match, 15-9. In the semifinals, UNC was given a tough go by the Maryland Terrap ins. The Tar Heels came out victor ious with another three-set win 15 12, 15-10, 15-8. Maryland made their way to the semifinals with a five-set upset of third-seeded Duke the night before, 15-10, 16-14, 9-15, 5-15, 15 12. All three games showcased the finest of ACC volleyball as each employed great defense and strong hitting. The differences in the match were the potentcy of UNC's one-two punch of German and Wells and the middle blocking of Ali Sommerstad. "I thought Ali played very well," Bradley-Doppes said. "She stopped their middle attack, which was a great splash to individual wins highlighted the Tar Heel women's performance of tally ing six meet records in winning 10 of the 20 women's events. Senior Wendy Powers, a Baltimore native, set a pool record in the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 1:04.53 and a meet record of 2:05.16 in the 200-yard , individual medley. Freshman teammate Lisa Brown finished just behind Powers in the 200 IM with a time of 2:08.41. In the women's 100-yard butterfly, UNC added 52 points to their team score. Senior Melanie Buddemeyer, the pool record holder in the event, and freshman Susan Leupold finished in first and second place, clocking NCAA qualifying times of 55.30 and 55.85, respectively. Another freshman, Dawn Davies, captured 15 more points for UNC's team score with a fourth-place finish in the same event, behind Budde meyer, Leupold, and Kathy Isackson of FSU. In addition to her 100-yard fly win, Buddemeyer won the 200-yard frees tyle with a time of 1:52.24 - less than a quarter of a second in front of N.C. State's Sabina Hulett. Senior Kim Beattie's win in the 100-yard freestyle and first-place finishes in the 200-yard freestyle relay and 400- yard medley relay rounded out the UNC women's individual Victories. ' "That's the difference in the game right there," UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. The game started in a blur of bodies as both teams pushed their transition games. UNC stayed close until 12:42, when Spain ran off a series of five unanswered buckets to up their lead to 22-10. That series proved just how devastating the fastbreak can be. Spain's Patricia Hernandez took an outlet pass near her ownthree point line after a teammate stole the ball in the paint. Hernandez took off and left the entire UNC team choking on the smoke from her heels. Not one Tar Heel player made it past half court before Hernandez had laid it in to put Spain up by 10 and turned to make the trip back upcourt. That's fast: After Carolina freshman Kareema Williams hit from 15 feet to make the score 22-12, Spain retaliated with two consecutive treys, the first by point guard Ana Alvaro, the second by Hernandez at 10:40. UNC could come no closer than nine points for the remainder of the half. And, under the capable direction of Alvaro, the Spanish fast break took them to a commanding 52-31 lead at intermission. The second half was another game entirely. The tempo slowed noticably as UNC picked up the defensive intensity. Forced into the half-court game, Spain was much less potent offensively. In fact, the Tar Heels outscored the Spanish 49-41 in the second stanza, improving their field goal accuracy from 33 to 59 percent help to us." -'' The turning point in the match came late in the first game. Maryland ' led 12-11 when all three of the Tar J Heel keys were demonstrated. The Terps were on a four-point " run, but German (19 kills, 13 digs) " shut it down when she knocked a .. Vogel set to where no one could get , it for the side-out. Wells (20 kills, 12 V digs) followed, destroying two Mary-,s land blocks with powerful spikes. . Sommmerstad joined in with a block-' for 14-12, and a Wells slam endedv' it; After that, the Terps never seemed I to get control of the game. As strong -, as they were defensively, they didn't.-; have the fire-power on offense? -r UNC's German and Wells kept;-: pounding, and the Maryland defense could riot hold out forever. '! "I'm real pleased with how the kids v played," Bradley-Doppes said. "They played intense for three games in a row. "(Maryland) is a very, very strong defensive team possibly the best ';' defensive team weVe played all year... They kept a lot of balls in play. J think what hurt us is that we didn -: stay with what was working." - Indeed, that kept Maryland irt match. The Tar Heels only ran oT7 two or three points at a time before , the Terps would side out. However, J those short point spurts added up to- UNC's victory.

From I that point on, UNC chipped away -diligently at the margin, aided by the absence of Alvaro, who left the game with an ankle injury at 12:20. With seven minutes to go, Williams executed a nice imitation of J.R. Reid, going the length of the floor for a lay-in after she made a steal. This cut Spain's lead to 13 points, and it forced Spanish coach Jose Buceta to call a timeout.

When the majority of shots you take are two- foot bunnies, your shooting percent tage is bound to be ridiculously high.., "They grew up a lot tonight," Hatchell said. "They were very nervous."
