DURHAM North Carolina's Tee
Burton beat out two Duke golfers in
sudden death to take the individual
honors at the Iron Duke Classic Sunday
afternoon.
' After 54 holes of play, Burton, a
junior, wound up in a three-way tie for
first with the Blue Devils' Jason
Widener and Chris Cain. Each had a
three-round total of 215. The title was
decided on the first hole of the sudden
death playoff at the par-4 hole No. 1.
' All three players drove the ball into
fine position in the fairway off the tee.
Being farthest away from the pin,
Burton hit first and sent an iron shot to
the middle of the green. Widener fol
lowed by pushing his shot to the right of
the green, and Cain left his ball short of
the green.
On Cain's third shot, he failed to put
the ball on the putting surface after a
bad pitch. Widener pitched his ball
about 10 feet from the pin. Meanwhile,
Burton faced a 20-foot putt for birdie.
Burton hit the putt hard enough, but the
ball broke too much and stopped about
three feet to the right of the hole.
Widener, however, ran his 10-footer
past the left side of the hole. That miss
left the tournament in the hands of
Burton. The 6-foot-4 junior then firmly
rol led the ball into the middle of the cup
to card a par and win the tournament.
The victory came as a surprise to
Burton, who has been struggling as of
late.
'To tell you the truth, I shot an 8 1 out
here on Wednesday," Burton said. "I
spent all day just hitting balls with
some gUys watching me and telling me
to change some things. I changed my
set-up and that was about it. Something
just clicked."
Burton ended the first day of the
tournament on Friday with a 2-under-par
70 to take a 1 -stroke advantage over
Virginia's Chris Cupit and Tim Dun
lavey. On the second day, as Cupit and
Dunlavey faded out of the picture,
Burton managed only a 74 while Cain
recorded a 70 to move into a tie with
Burton for the lead.
'Tee just played solidly forthe whole
36 holes," UNC head coach Devon
Brouse said. "He had no major prob
'lems; he was playing very uneventful
:golf."
To begin the final round, Burton
'bogeyed the 1 0th hole. He then bounced
back to birdie the next two holes and go
.under for the day. After running into
some problems, Burton moved up to
the par-5 No. 7, the 16th hole of the
round, at 1 over par. His second shot
fell short of the green, leaving him with
a'difficult pitch on a downslope. The
pitch rolled to the back fringe after
failing to check up.
Because repair work made the con
ditions of the course extremely bad, the
rule was made that a player could
improve his lie by one club s length.
Burton did just that and then promptly
sank a 10-foot putt off the apron for a
birdie to move to even par.
. After carding a par on the par-3
eighth, Burton moved to the final hole,
the par-5 ninth. Burton crushed a drive
down the center of the fairway and then
smacked the second shot to the middle
of the green short of the pin.
Burton was left with a 25-foot putt.
He ran the ball past the right side of the
hole about one foot but then tapped in
for a birdie to finish the tournament at
1 under par.
: - After shooti ng 4 over par for the first
two rounds, Widener blazed through
the course on the last day to notch a 5-under-par
67 to make the playoff. Cain
started the tournament by going two
over on the first day. He came back to
shoot 70 and 7 1 on the last two rounds
to finish tied for first.
Despite the great performance of
Burton, the team as a whole did not play
particularly well, managing a fifth-place
finish. After the first day of competi
tion Friday, UNC was tied for third
with East Tennessee State with a total
of 299, 11 shots behind leader Virginia.
For Saturday, the Tar Heels wound up
tied for fifth with Old Dominion after a
total round of 304, falling to 19 shots
off the pace. The Cavaliers held on
Sunday to finish first with a three-day
total of 872 while North Carolina stayed
in fifth at 903.
"; For the Tar Heels, freshman Tom
' Scherrer finished with a 226 and senior
Brendan Kennedy shot a 221. Sopho
more Pat Moore and freshman Bill
Smith both totaled 223.

Virginia lax holds
off UNC comeback
By NEIL AMAT0
Stan Writer
For one shining moment, sunlight
poured onto the field at Kenan Stadium
Saturday during the North Carolina
Virginia lacrosse match. When the sun
peeked out from behind the clouds,
yielding a Carolina blue sky, UNC
started to put the heat on the Cavaliers.
But a dark cloud UVa. goalkeeper
Tom Groeninger swallowed up the
last glimmer of Tar Heel hope with two
key saves in the fast-paced game's final
30 seconds.
A sparkling UNC comeback came to
a thunderous halt when the Wahoo
netminder stopped a pair of Dennis
Goldstein shots in the contest's waning
moments to give No. 6 Virginia an
important conference win over fifth
ranked North Carolina in exciting fash
ion, 14-13.
Virginia upped its record to 7-2, 3-0
in the ACC, and took over first place in
the conference. UNC dropped to 7-3
and 1-1.
Groeninger, a 5-foot-9 junior from
Towson, Md., recorded 18 saves in the
game and was on cloud nine after beat
ing the Tar Heels.
"I let in a few goals early that I
should have had, so I felt they (the
saves) were a little redemption," Groe
ninger said. "This is the first time we've
beaten North Carolina since our sen
iors have been here, and I was 0-3
against them, so it feels great."
Virginia head coach Jim Adams
showered his goalie with praise and
also gave credit to the Tar Heels for a
second half barrage in which they
outscored UVa. 9-4.
"I keep saying he's one of the best
around," Adams said. "Against some
fine competition he's played very well.
But Carolina was scrapping like the
devil. They put a lot of pressure on us."
UNC was in the doldrums in the first
half, trailing UVa. 10-4 at the break.
After a goal by the Wahoos Garth
Appelt 22 seconds into the third quar
women's
team included Michelle Faherty, who
won the 1,500 (4:31.22); Kelly Joyce,
who outdistanced her competitors in
the shotput with a 43 '6-12" toss; and
Penny Blackwell, who won the triple
jump with a 41'6-l2" jump. UNC also
took the 1,600-meter relay in 3:40.85.
The North Carolina men's squad did
not fare nearly as well as the women,
falling to a last-place Finish with only
27 points. Florida took the prize with
73 points, a meet high. Florida State
finished with 61 points to take second
and Kansas needed its 35 points to
avoid last place.
UNC's Reggie Harris was one of
ter, the UNC heat wave began as the
Tar Heels scored five straight goals to
cut the lead to 11-9 with one quarter to
go. Sophomore Jim Buczek paced the
Tar Heels in the third 15-minute period
with a goal and an assist.
Cavalier freshman Kevin Pehlke
ended the UNC run with a score just 15
seconds into the final quarter. But North
Carolina went on a rampage, scoring
three goals in a 1:39 span to tie the
game at 12 with 10:47 to play.
After Craig Hasslinger scored unas
sisted with 12:26 left, Joe Bedell de
posited the ball in the net just 31 sec
onds later on an assist from John
Webster.
Apparently, an assist wasn't enough.
Webster, a redshirt frosh, moved from
behind the cage to the right side of the
crease. With his back to the goal and a
defender pounding him, Webster
bounced a shot through his own legs
and through the legs of a stunned Groe
ninger to knot the score.
After a UVa. goal, Goldstein pa
tiently juked his defender and scored
unassisted with 4:47 remaining to knot
the score again at 1 3-1 3. Just 1:15 later,
the UNC redshirt junior had a chance to
give North Carolina its first lead since
early in the first quarter, but his outside
blast hit the post and ignited a UVa.
counterattack.
Appelt, who led Virginia with a hat
trick and two assists, directed a pass to
Tom Burt, who beat UNC goalie Andy
Piazza to give UVa. a 14-13 lead with
3:02 left.
Groeninger's time to shine came after
a tripping penalty by Pehlke gave UNC
an extra-man opportunity for the final
minute of regulation. The Tar Heels
worked the ball until Goldstein got a
shot off, but the Stony Brook, N.Y.,
native's seven-yard shot was stuffed by
Groeninger, and the game appeared to
be over.

Coming off a disappointing 5-4 loss
at Duke Thursday, the UNC men's
tennis squad rebounded with a solid 6
0 win over Virginia Tech Saturday
afternoon at the UNC Tennis Center.
The Tar Heels won all 12 sets in the
singles matches and finished off the
Hokies in less than two hours. All three
doubles matches were in the first set
before rain forced their cancellation.
Now North Carolina has one week to
prepare for the ACC Tournament to be
held this Friday through Sunday at Duke
University. The Tar Heels were just
two points shy of a perfect ACC season
and a No. 1 seed in the conference
tournament. Because of 5-4 losses at
Maryland and Duke, UNC finished with
a 5-2 conference record and either a
No. 2 or No. 3 seed, depending on the
outcome of Sunday's Duke-Clemson
match.
With the win over Virginia Tech,
North Carolina pushed its overall rec
ord to 16-8. The Hokies, whose only
other loss was a 5-4 decision to third
ranked Georgia, fell to 15-2.
"I thought the boys played extremely
well coming off the loss to Duke,"
UNC coach Allen Morris said. "I didn't
know how they would play after the
loss to Duke. That was probably the
best performance we've had in singles
all year against a very good VPI team."
Nq. 1 seed Bryan Jones turned in one
of his best individual performances of
the year in a 6-1, 6-1 win over Marcus
Farmer. After dropping the first set to
Julie Exum 6-3, the senior co-captain
rallied just enough to win the last two
sets, 6-4 and 7-6.
Co-captain Gina Goblirsch and fresh
man Cinda Gurney, both losers in
singles play, squeezed by Susan Sum
merville and Katrina Greenman in top
seed doubles action. Farmer and fresh
man Alisha Portnoy also won their
doubles match for the Tar Heels' third
and final win.
In the latest Intercollegiate Tennis
Coaches Association rankings, Gurney
is seeded at No. 38, and she and
Goblirsch are ranked 24th in the nation
