The Daily Tar HeelThursday, April 5, 19907 UNC 'lox' up easy 9-0 win over Ivlonarctis By ERIC WAGNON Staff Writer The North Carolina women's tennis team served up a late breakfast to Old Dominion Wednesday afternoon at the UNC Tennis Center. The match left ODU scrambling for lox and cream cheese as the Tar Heels dished out seven "bagels" tennis slang for a 6 0 set en route to a big bagel, a 9-0 victory. Old Dominion, coached by former UNC player Billy Brock, fell to 7-8 on the year. North Carolina upped its rec ord to 14-4. Playing under windy conditions, Tar Heel freshman Alisha Portnoy raced by Jane Strbic, 6-0, 6-0, at the No. 3 singles spot. Sophomore Gigi Neely won her match at No. 6 singles over Lori Morris by the same score. Valerie Farmer, senior UNC co captain, dropped just one game in a 6 1 , 6-0 win over Pernille Buch Pederson in the fourth slot. Gina Goblirsch, also a senior co-captain, picked up a simi larly easy 6-1 , 6-2 victory against Kelly Evans in the No. 2 match. The Lady Monarchs' only real hope for a win came in the No. 1 match. After losing her serve in the first game of the match, Debbie Karlen won four straight games over Tar Heel freshman Cinda Gurney. The momentum of the set, however, shifted in the sixth game. With the game score at 30-all, Gurney won two straight points with some pinpoint groundstrokes to make the score 4-2. Gurney, showing some outstanding net play on several points, broke Karlen's serve in the next game and then held serve to knot the score at 4-4. Karlen could not bounce back at that Baseball clobbers Davidson 12-6 From staff and wire reports GREENVILLE, S.C. North Carolina's semi-slumping baseball team broke out of a two-game losing streak w ith a 1 2-6 v ictory over Dav idson yesterday afternoon at Davidson. UNC had lost its last two games, falling to Wake Forest and East Carolina Univer sity. Scott Hughes had a career day for the Tar Heels, knocking in seven runs with his second and third homeruns of the year, including a grandslam in the fourth inning with two ftuts. The slam was the third by a Tar Heel batter this season, with Chris Cox and Steve Estroff bang ing the first two. Down 2-0 after solo homers by Davidson in the first two slates, UNC grabbed a 4-2 lead in the third on two two-run dingers, one each by Darren Villani(l) and Estroff (11).

Gurney held serve to close out the set, 6-4. "She's a good player who can jump out on you," Gurney said. "But a lot of times with that kind of player, she'll break down when it gets close." After staying on serve for the first four games of the second set, neither player was able to hold her serve in the next five games. Gurney was finally able to hold serve to close out the 6-4, 6-4 match. "You had to change your game completely for the wind," Gurney said. "The serve really couldn't do much today because of the wind." Unlike her teammate Gurney, Dana Kanell started fast by jumping out to a 4-1 lead over Tami Riehm. The Richmond native responded by closing the-gap to 5-4, but Kanell coasted from there by winning the next seven games to win the match, 6-4, 6-0. "In the first set, the wind threw me off," Kanell said. "I didn't get my first serve in. When I get my first serve in, my whole game just kind of falls into place." The Tar Heels lost only seven games in the three doubles matches. Gurney and Gobi irsch topped Karlen and Evan s, 6-1, 6-0, at No. 1 doubles. Dianna McCarthy and Neely defeated Riehm and Morris, 6-1 , 6-2, in the No. 3 doubles match. Old Dominion's No. 2 doubles team, Strbic and Peterson, proved that the whole is sometimes greater than the sum of its parts. In singles matches against Portnoy and Farmer, respec tively, the two ODU players won a combined total of one game. As a tan dem playing against Portnoy and Kingston doubled and scored on an error. In the sixth, Hughes added a two run double to his already miraculous day. Shortstop Ron Maurer extended his hitting streak to 1 8 games with a single in the seventh. Davidson scored three runs in the fifth on a three-run shot by Mikio Aoki, the first batter that UNC reliever Rich Fernandez faced. Following the homer, though, Fernandez settled down, fin ished the game and garnered the vic tory. All told, the southpaw pitched four innings, striking out six batters and raising his record to 4-1. UNC's record now stands at 27-6. Davidson's fell to 16-19-1.
