Volleyball will be -put to the
test in three-match weekend
By DOUG HOOGERVORST
Staff Writer
Time to put up or shut up has
arrived for the North Carolina vol
leyball team. With home matches
against two Atlantic Coast Confer
ence foes and a Top 20 team this
weekend, the Tar Heels will be put to
the test to see what kind of mettle
they're made of.
North Carolina will face the 25-4
Clemson Tigers Friday night for the
ACC regular season lead and will
follow with the 15-15 Georgia Tech
Yellow Jackets on Saturday evening.
Eighteenth-ranked Penn State, 26-4,
will pull into Carmichael Audito
rium Sunday afternoon for the
weekend' s final test for the Tar Heels.
If UNC beats Clemson and Geor
gia Tech, it will have assured itself
the regular season championship and
the top seed in the ACC tournament.
The Tar Heels seem to have put
their beginning-of-the-season, up-and-down
tendency behind them and
have settled down to win nine of their
last 10. North Carolina has a 15-6
record after Tuesday's demolition of
UNC-Charlotte and a perfect 3-0
conference record.
UNC assistant coach Eddie Mat
thews said that solid team play
sprinkled with solid individual per
formances from starters and the bench
have keyed the Tar Heels' recent
success.
"There hasn't been one person, but
it's the team as a whole," Matthews
said. "This far along in the season, a
good team has to be focused as a team
and not on one person. When we've
played together and focused as a team,
we are a very good team."
The focused team attitude of UNC
doesn't hide the fact that two of the
ACC's top offensive players are in the
Tar Heels' starting six.
North Carolina's SharonGerman and
Liz Berg are one-two in the conference
in kills per game with 5.06 and 4.55
respectively. Berg was named the con
ference player of the week last week,
and German became the ACC's all
time career kill leader with 1,713 on
Oct. 24, passing former UNC star
Andrea Wells' 1,690.
Clemson will be the main concern of
the volleyball weekend for UNC.
However, a victory over the Tigers,
who are also 3-0 in conference play,
won't come easy, Matthews said.
'They have everybody back from
last year, so the chemistry's there right
away ."Matthews said. "We worry about
Clemson, because if you let a team like
that get on a roll, it's hard to stop them,
."We have to come out, and in the
first game, establish the tempo of the
match."
Clemson is the ACC's strongest
serving team, leading the conference
with an average of 2.86 aces per game.
Annemarie Castro (0.49) and Heidi
Kahl (0.43) lead the Tigers in aces.
Kahl also happens to be Clemson's
leading offensive player with 2.77
kills per game.
The match with Georgia Tech on
Saturday figures to be rest for North
Carolina. The Yellow Jackets, 0-4 in
the ACC, play defensive-oriented
volleyball, indicated by their 1 8.44 ;
digs per game, and don't present a
tremendous threat to the Tar Heels.
Sunday's match with the Nittany
Lions will be the toughest of the
weekend for UNC. Penn State is
currently riding an 1 8-game winning
streak and is third in the nation in
hitting percentage (.314). JoAnn
Elwell and Noelle Eizentara lead
PSU's accurate hitting attack with
.39 1 and .348 percentages. Eizentara
also is a defensive stalwart, leading
the Nittany Lions with 3.13 digs per
. game.
Though a victory over nationally
ranked PSU would be nice, Mat-:
thews said the ACC matches are the
focus of the weekend, leading to the
final conference game Tuesday at
N.C. State.
"This weekend is the biggest
weekend for us in the regular sea
; son," he said. "If we can beat Clemson
and Georgia Tech, then we can go to
Raleigh focused to play instead of
being overwhelmed by the emotions
tied to that rivalry."
Women gear for NCAAs

For most women's collegiate soccer
teams, the NCAA Tournament provides
the rare opportunity to prove to the
nation that they are the best team around.
Most teams have looked forward to
this chance since the beginning of the
season. For them, this is make it or
break it time. If one of them wins the
Tournament, they own all the glory of
a national championship. Just thinking
about what winning the Tournament
would mean is enough to make most
teams nervous.
Then, of course, there is North
Carolina's women's soccer team.
The Tar Heels haVe won the last
three soccer championships.. If the
Tournament was like the Super Bowl
and gave out rings, then the five seniors
on this year's team forward Julie
Guarnotta, midfielder Shannon Hig
gins, back Carla Werden and the in
jured Tracey Bates and Ava Hyatt
would be close to running out of fin
gers. Although winning national champi
onships for UNC seems as easy as
taking out the daily trash, the team does
not lack for intensity as it heads into the
Tournament.
"It's not like it's a routine for us,"
Werden said. "Every time we play, we
want to have fun. It's still exciting for
us to win a national championship."
Last year, the Tar Heels beat N.C.
State, 4-1, in the final game to take the
crown. This season, UNC has kept up
the pace and has rolled to a 21-0-1
record. The only blemish came in a 0-
from page 1
0 tie with then 20th-ranked Stanford.
The Tar Heels are still riding high
after beating N.C. State, 5-3, last week
end to take the ACC Tournament Cham
pionship. The Tar Heels played well in
taking the ACC crown, but there are
still some improvements that could be
made.
"We need to mark up tighter on
defense, and the organization needs to
be better," Werden said. "In the second
half against State, we really pulled
together and worked on our rhythm."
During the regular season, UNC
faced seven of the twelve teams that
will be playing in the NCAA Tourna
ment: Connecticut, George Mason, N.C.
State, UC-Santa Barbara, UC-Santa
Clara, Virginia and Colorado College.
In the eight games against these seven
teams (UNC played N.C. State twice),
the Tar Heels outscored the opposition
30-4. The fact that UNC has already
beaten so many of the teams could be
an advantage or a disadvantage.
"It can work both ways," Werden
said. "All those teams are going to be
out to get us."
Having the number one seed in the
NCAA Tournament, the Tar Heels,
playing in the New England region,
will have a bye in the first round. The
first match for UNC will come in the
second round on November 12 against
the winner of the HartfordConnecticut
match.
The Tar Heels will be able to host
the second round game, but since Fet-
zer Field cannot be used for the Tourna
ment, UNC will not be allowed to host
the semifinal and final matches even
though it owns the number one seed. '
If UNC reaches the Final Four, some
very interesting matches could occur
The Tar Heels would meet either George
Mason, N.C. State, or fourth-seeded
William and Mary, who form the South
region. -
The Wolfpack and the Tar Heels
always seem to wind up battling each
other when there is a tournament. N.C;
State won the 1988 ACC Tournament
over UNC on penalty kicks and UNC
won this year's ACC Tournament, by
beating the Wolfpack. Last yearns
NCAA finals came down to who else
but UNC and N.C. State with the Tar
Heels coming out on top. ;
The West region contains third;
seeded UC-Santa Clara, Wisconsin and
UC-Santa Barbara. Second-seeded
Colorado College, Massachusetts, and
Virginia will play in the Central region:
The Tar Heels will not face any of these
teams unless they reach the finals. , . -
The key to winning the NCAA
Tournament for the Tar Heels is how
well they are able to rotate their play
ers. The semifinals and the finals are
played on two consecutive days so that
there will not be much time for the
players to rest.
"Having depth is important," Wer
den said. "The players at the top have to
rest so that they don't burn out." ; ,
willing to listen to what I have to say.
"Problems are seldom one-sided. To
solve them, it takes a person who can
live with the uncertainty and the ten
sion." Spangler said he recognized the
Changes
importance of going along with what
the board felt was best. "I have no
tenure or contract. I serve completely at
the pleasure of those 35 board mem
bers." When appraising Spangler, some
from page 1
BOG members compare him to the last
system president, William Friday,
whom they say had excellent relations
with the board.
Spangler said he did not believe that
comparison had affected board mem
bers' feelings on the current situation.
"Mr. Friday was an exceptional presi-
ness major but didn't want to take all
the courses. Implementation of a minor
program would not only help students
concentrate on an area without major
ing in it, but would also help those who
feel weighted down by a double ma
jor. Several students agreed with the
report's suggestion for hiring a profes
sional advising staff.
"I wish the advisers would get to
know you more someone who will
advise you, not just tell you," said Sandy
Bass, a freshman from Durham. "I think
it would be wise to hire a professional
staff."
A.J. Critelli, a sophomore from
Raleigh, agreed. "It would be better to
sit down with someone who knew what
he was doing."
But students did find a few problems
with the report.
The report fails to mention how the
further development of the curriculum
will be funded, Bibbs said.
The requirement of one Capstone
course concerned some students. "The
point is valid, but the method is not
strong at all," Hall said. "There are
problems with the relevance of the
Capstone courses."
For others, the only concern was the
requirement of more writing and essay
exams, especially in perspective classes.
"They don't need to add more pa
pers," said Bill Gentile, a sophomore
from Raleigh.
In general, students seemed im
pressed and encouraged by the report.
"I'm extremely pleased," Hall said.
"The suggestions in the report are aca
demically oriented to the student."
Davis
dent, but his success does not make it
difficult for me. This is not his problem,
this is my problem."
Spangler said although he talked with
the former president regularly, Friday
had not advised him on this issue. "Mr.
Friday would not be the kind of person
that would advise me on what to do."
from page 1
"We disposed of the motion the only
way possible without voting. A vote
would have meant we were not only
voting for Gene, but also for the motion
we would have been approving votes
of confidence in the future. If we had
voted, I would have had to abstain, and
the same would have been true with
many other congress members."
John Lomax, speaker pro tempore of
congress, said he and the rest of con
gress were very shocked at Davis'
motion. "I'm surprised Gene put his
neck on the line like that. Gene brought
the motion without any warning. He
stepped down (from the speaker's chair)
because a bill he had authored was next
on the agenda. He raised his hand to be
recognized and just laid forth the mo
tion. Everyone was in shock."
Davis said he had thought about the
motion since the court found him guilty.
"I don't see it as a dangerous precedent
to vote confidence in the speaker."
Nothing will change about the way
he carries out his duties as speaker,
Davis said. "What probably got me in
trouble was thinking about what's best
for the students and not about the
(Student) Code, but I intend to keep
doing that in the future."
