CLEMSON, S.C. "U Can'tTouch
This."
; That was the message on the home
made buttons worn by members of the
women's track team Friday and Satur
day at the ACC Outdoor Track and
Field Championships, and the senti
ment was equally reflected by the final
point totals: UNC finished with 217
points and seven individual champi
ons. Virginia and Clemson rounded out
the top three spots with 142 and 135
tallies, respectively.
Not to be completely outdone, the
men's team turned in an impressive
performance, finishing in third place
with 100 points. Clemson finished first
with 161 points and N.C. State pulled
in 135 tallies for second place.
' "Our performance this weekend just
goes to show that we operate as a team,"
Head coach Dennis Craddock said of
the women's performance. "Every team
in the conference may have a Kendra
Mackey or a Sonya Thomas or a Kim
Austin, but when that person doesn't
perform well, the team doesn't do well.
We don't have to worry about that
because we have a balanced team."
' The women from Clemson tested
the Tar Heels' motto Friday, knotting
the score at 5 1 points after five event
finals. Going into the last event of the
day, Clemson had a two-point lead at
43-4 1 . Junior Jeanne Peterson changed
all that in 34:42.84 minutes, pulling
away from Clemson's Michelle Scholtz
in the 1,0,000-meters and sprinting the
last lap of the 25-lap race to add 10
points to the team score.
Also on Friday, Penny Blackwell
and Lynda Lipson pulled down a pair of
second-place finishes in the long jump
and the javelin, respectively. Black
well leaped a personal best of 20'3 14"
and Lipson threw the javelin 142'8".
Long jumpers Kim Austin (19' 10 14")
and Sharon Couch (19'4 14") finished
fourth and fifth, respectively, and

The inclement weather that was
promised prior to Saturday's UNC
Duke lacrosse battle never material
ized, but both the Tar Heel and the
Blue Devil goalkeepers weathered a
storm of their own. Every 32 seconds
a shot rained down on one of the five
different goalies used. All told, 113
attempts were made.
The fifth-ranked Tar Heels (8-3 , 2-
1 in the ACC) won the offensive
showcase 26-1 3 in front of 1 ,225 fans
at Kenan Stadium, in a game that the
goalies would just as soon forget.
The three Blue Devil netminders
were shelled 80 times while watching
their team's record fall to 6-6 overall
and 0-3 in the ACC.
Offensively, 1 2 different Tar Heels
scored. John Webster (five goals and
two assists), Chip Mayer (four goals),
Eric Seremet (three goals and one
assist) and Jim Buczek (three goals
and two assists) all set career highs.
Dennis Goldstein added two goals
and three assists to raise his team
leading point total to 44.
The Tar Heels fell one goal short of
tying their team record for goals scored
in an ACC game, set in 1974 in a 27-
2 victory over N.C. State.
The Blue Devils were led by Joe
Matassa and Ail-American Josh Den
nis with three goals each. Seth
McCulloch and Gregg Schmalz both
added two.
The tone for the game was set when
Duke won the opening face-off and
took the first shot of the game with
only 10 seconds off the clock. How
ever, the first tally didn't come until
3:14 of the game when Webster, a
redshirt freshman, put his first one in
the net, and then added his second
only seven seconds later off an assist
from Chip Mayer.
"My defense man fell asleep and I
cut back door," Webster said. "The
back-door cuts were open all day."
The Tar Heels were up 4-0 after
.5:36 when Duke removed starting
goalkeeper Eugene Glavin in favor of
Carter Hertzberg.
Hertzberg lasted out the first quar
ter, making two saves, but giving up
six more tallies to UNC. During the

lin (128'7"), while teammate Kelly
Joyce finished sixth (1 14'). "
Senior Kim Austin started things off
Saturday with a school and meet record-setting
performance in the triple
jump. On her fourth jump, Austin soared
43'9 14" before landing in the sandpit
as the second-best triple jumper in the
nation and an automatic qualifier for
the NCAAs. Before she broke the meet
record, her longest jump was 42'8".
Austin's record-breaking jump
wasn't the only thing that came bigger
than usual for UNC. A shower of Tar
Heel points rained down in the 100
meter hurdles and the 400-meter run, as
UNC finished 1-2-4-5 and 1-2-3, re
spectively. Sharon Couch won the
hurdles in 13.40 seconds, ahead of
teammates Austin ( 1 3.52), Tracy Cooke
(14.20) and Thomas (14.46). Thomas
won the 400-meter hurdles (59.64) and
Cammie Putman came in third (60.38).
Defending champion Kendra Mackey
won the 400 in 53.37, the third-fastest
time in school history, and Rebecca
Russell came in second (53.91). Euba
Wilkerson (54.69) sneaked past
Clemson's Angel Fleetwood for third
place.
Heptathlete Nicole Hudson added
another first-place finish, piling up
4,555 points, the third-highest point
total in school history.
The 400-meter relay team of Put
man, Wilkerson, Thomas and Mackey,
favored to win the event, streaked to the
finish line two-tenths of a second be
hind Clemson to take second place.
"They (the UNC team) were really
smoking, but Clemson had a little more
kick this time out," said Charles Foster,
sprint and hurdles coach. Most of that
kick came from Lisa Dillard, who edged
Mackey at the line in the relay and later
in the 200-meter dash.

Freshman attackman John Webster drives for one of his team-leading
quarter, Duke finally put themselves on
the board, but trailed 10-2 after 15
minutes.
"With our defensive philosophy, no
one should score 10 goals on us in three
periods, much less one," Duke head
coach Tony Cullen said.
UNC's starting keeper Andy Piazza
wasn't exactly giving a clinic either,
allowing 1 0 goals while recording eight
saves. His backup, Lars Pedersen, was
the only netminder to record more saves
than goals allowed, garnering four saves
while allowing only three tallies.
"I didn't think Piazza played any
where near his best game today," Cul
len said. "But it didn't matter."
Duke's third keeper, Mike Kolden,

Kolden "stemmed" the Tar Heel tide,

second stanza, but his teammates lost
more ground by only scoring twice
themselves. Halftime finally showed
its face with UNC up 13-4.
For the game, Kolden shot even par,
recording 16 saves while allowing 16
goals in 45 minutes of action.
Neither team dominated the score

cleared their respective benches, and

Duke scored nine more.

Cullen said. "You have to beat (UNC)

5-3 victory

DURHAM The road to the ACC
championship could not have been more
poorly paved for the UNC men's tennis
team.
First, sophomore Bryan Jones tore
cartilage in his left ankle at practice last
Monday, relegating the UNC star to a
role as a moral supporter in the stands.
Then the Tar Heels had to win the
semifinal on Duke's home court and
the final over a Clemson team that had
owned previous ACC Tennis Tourna
ments, winning the last seven and nine
of the last 10.
But an inspired UNC bunch over
came these odds and wrapped up the
tournament Sunday afternoon with a 5
3 win over second-seeded Clemson at
Duke's West Campus Courts, giving
the Tar Heels a final mark of 1 9-8. The
title was the first for Coach Allen Morris
in his 10-year stint at the North Caro
lina helm.
"It's been an emotional roller coaster
for me the last two or three weeks," a
tearful Morris said. "Clemson has been
at the top of this thing for a long time.
(Clemson) Coach (Chuck) Kriese has
done one hell of a job down there, and
we just feel very fortunate to be the one
to take the title away from them."
The Tar Heels 5-2 ACC record earned
them the third seed in this weekend's
tournament. UNC held off a stubborn
Georgia Tech team 5-4 Friday morning
and then upset Duke 5-3 on Saturday.
The Tar Heels gained a measure of
revenge over the. Blue Devils, who
eliminated UNC from the regular-season
race on Apr. 12 with a 5-4 win.
When North Carolina senior Don
Johnson hit a passing shot past Todd
Watkins in the No. 2 doubles match
Sunday, it sealed the Tar Heels' second
win over Clemson in two weeks. UNC
had not beaten the Tigers since 1978
before a 5-4 homecourt win on April 8.
Clemson, which finished 16-17 against
a tough national schedule, has now lost
only four of its last 94 ACC matches.
Golf falls to third,
two shots behind
By H. BROCK PAGE
Staff Writer
Going into the final round with a
one-stroke lead, North Carolina's men's
golf squad came up only two shots
short of a share of the ACC Champion
ship. The tournament was played at the
Northgreen Country in Rocky Mount
this past weekend.
After the first round on Friday, UNC
was 1 1 shots off the blistering pace set
by Clemson, who finished with a 5
under 283. The Tar Heels were led by
junior Tee Burton, who shot a one
under par 7 1 , two shots behind the four
individual leaders tied at 69. Freshman
Tom Scherrer shot an even-par 72 while
sophomore Pat Moore garnered a 75
and junior John Aber finished with a 76
for UNC to put the Tar Heels at six
over. On the second day, Clemson fell
apart to total a 15-over par 303 and the
Tar Heels took advantage of the slip.
Burton and Moore burned the course
for a two-under 70 to bring UNC all the
way from fourth place to the top of the
standings with a two-day total of an
eight-over 584. Scherrer added a two
over 74 and Aber came up with a 76.
The key for UNC's successful come
back was the team's ability to handle
the rough weather conditions.
"On Saturday, the wind blew hard,"
UNC Head Coach Devon Brouse said.
"It was really a tough day but we hung
tough. I felt great about our position."
The lead for UNC was slim as five
other teams were within two strokes of
the Tar Heels. Alone in second place
was N.C. State, only one shot back.
Tied for third two strokes behind were
Clemson, Duke, Georgia Tech and
Wake Forest.
"We knew there was going to be a
real shootout on Sunday," Brouse said.
"I was surprised that one or maybe two
teams didn't bolt away from the rest of
the field. I thought we were poised to do
just that because we had not yet had a
good team round. I thought we were
going to do it."
However, the Tar Heels could not
pull away from the pack on the final
day. At the turn after nine holes, UNC
smash past;
over Tigers
"I think (the first win over Clemson)
meant a lot to us," Morris said. "You've
got to break the dam sooner or later.
We've been close to Clemson before.
Winning (at UNC) gave us a lot of
confidence going into the tournament."
As they did in the first meeting with
the Tigers, North Carolina jumped out
to an early 3-0 lead in singles play only
to see Clemson cut into that lead. This
time, however, the Tar Heels were able
to win a pivotal singles match that gave
them a 4-2 lead heading into doubles.
Johnson, named the tournament's
Most Valuable Player, lost the first set
and was on the brink of elimination in
the third-set tiebreaker before rallying
to win over Nicklas Johansson 4-6, 6-
1, 7-6 (7-5) at No. 2. Johansson broke
Johnson to take a 4-1 lead in the
tiebreaker. Johnson later aced
Johansson to tie it at 5-5, and he broke
Johansson to win the set.
"During that tiebreaker, I thought all
the way back to my freshman year and
thought, "This is what it all comes down
to, every match, every 6 a.m. prac
tice,'" Johnson said. "You couldn't ask
for a better situation in your senior
year, playing for the championship."
After Johnson's win, Morris took
the team aside for a team meeting. "I
wanted to make sure they understood
that the match was not over," he said.
"We've been up 4-2 before and lost.
Clemson is awfully good in doubles,
and they come at you."
The Tar Heels put themselves in
good shape by winning the first set in
two of the three doubles matches.
Clemson stayed alive when Greg Sei
lkop and Mike Watson defeated Tho
mas Tanner and Joe Frierson 6-3, 6-3 at
the No. 3 flight. Soon afterward,
Johnson and Chris Mumford finished
off Mike Williams and Watkins at No.
2, 6-2, 6-2.
In singles play, Thomas Tanner
defeated Mike Watson 6-3, 6-4 at No.
6. Tanner, the ACC champion at No. 6
singles, finished the season 20-5 and
did not lose a set in the tournament.
Pat Moore
was battling for the lead with the
Wolfpack while the Tigers were still
floating six or seven strokes behind.
Instead, the Tar Heels backed up, said
Brouse.
North Carolina could have made a
final move toward first place on the last
two holes, the short par-four 17th and
the 18th, a 535-yard par-five. But the
Tar Heels could not make the shots
when they desperately needed them.
"The 1 7th and 1 8th are birdie holes,"
Brouse said. "Moore played them well
but we just needed a couple of more
birdies. Tee didn't birdie No. 17 so that
we were needing him to get an eagle on
the last hole to tie."
Instead, UNC wound up tied for third
place with Duke at 14-over par with a
three-round total of 878. The champi
onship was split between Clemson and
N.C. State, who finished a mere two
strokes ahead of the Tar Heels after
three long days and 54 holes of play.
"It was hard for us to have to walk off
the 18th green with that empty feel
ing," Brouse said. 'To lose by only two
strokes after those days of battling was
tough. But I'm proud of our guys. We
did our very best in preparing but it just
wasn't there."
