Tar Heel tidal wave drowns foes
By Matt Johnson
Staff Writer
It could have been easier if no one
else had shown up.
All seven ACC women's swimming
and diving teams were present for the
ACC Championships in Koury Natato
rium this weekend.
Six were Douse-d by a Tar Heel tidal
wave, as UNC rolled to the second
largest victory in the history of the meet.
"You can't really ask for anything
more," said UNC's Melissa Douse, the
meet's Most Valuable Swimmer. 'This
whole team was an inspiration in itself.
We went the whole season undefeated,
but that doesn't mean it was easy."
Sorry, Melissa, but it sure looked
easy.
The Tar Heels, who held a 1 30-point
lead after Thursday's events, plowed

21st-rated UNC, 92-78

The best things in life are free.
The top-ranked Maryland women's
basketball team proved just that by
making 38 free throws in its 92-78
victory versus No. 21 North Carolina
Saturday in Carmichael Auditorium.
"They are called free throws," said
Maryland head coach Chris Weller.
"They are free. They are supposed to
go in."
The win improved Maryland's
record to 20-1, 10-0 in ACC play.
UNC dropped to 16-5, 5-5.
Free throws made the difference in
the game. Maryland took 43 foul shots
and UNC attempted 20. Of the Terra
pins' 51 second-half points, 29 came
from the charity stripe.
Maryland did not just walk up to the
line on its own, though. The Terrapins
drew 3 1 fouls, compared to 18 for the
Tar Heels, by pounding the ball inside
the entire game. Consequently, Tar
Heel front-liners Charlotte Smith and
Sylvia Crawley fouled out and LeAnn
Kennedy and Gwendolyn Gillingham
ended up with four fouls apiece.
"Look at the difference 3 1-18,"
said UNC head coach Sylvia Hatchell.
"Man alive!"
When asked what made the differ
ence in the game, Hatchell said, "We
Douse leads dominant North Carolina squad to 253-point triumph
Saturday. UNC's 884 points were 253
greater than second-place Clemson 's.
N.C. State was 258 points better than
UNC in the 1980 meet.
North Carolina was followed by
Clemson (631 points), Virginia (620),
N.C. State (446), Florida State (338),
Maryland (237) and Duke (160).
"It's really nice to get a streak going,
now that we've won two in a row," said
UNC head coach Frank Comfort. "Our
people came out on the first event on the
first day and just never looked back. We
just kept up our intensity over all six
sessions. That's the key.
"I don't think you ever meet every
goal that you set, but we certainly met
an awful lot of them this weekend."
Comfort was named ACC Coach of
the Year for the first time since 1985. It

can't say, because there are rules
against it."
Hatchell was referring to the fact
that it is a violation of NCAA rules to
criticize officiating.
Because of the Terps' strong inside
game, they scored 40 points in the
paint and attempted only one 3-pointer
in the contest. Naismith Award candi

was his fourth such honor in 1 5 years of
coaching at UNC.
Tar Heel captain Douse notched three
individual wins and participated in four
victorious relays. The senior came away
with wins in the 50-yard freestyle, 100
butterfly and 100 free, qualifying for
the NCAA Championships in both
freestyle events.
Douse also anchored the 200- and
400-medley relays and the 200- and
400-free relays. Her late burst qualified
the 400 free team of Douse, Jenny Huber,
Shannon Allison and Ann Hart for the
NCAAs.
"She's a young lady who's devel
oped better and better each year," Com
fort said of Douse. "She's a charismatic
leader, and the results were pretty char
ismatic this weekend."
Reese's jumper, Davis' career-high 30 spark 80-78 win
By Mark Anderson
Senior Writer
"Had it all the way." UNC head
coach Dean Smith after Saturday's game
with Wake Forest.
That is a pretty confident statement
for a man whose Tar Heels led twice
Saturday for a total of 1 1.3 seconds. It
must take 3 1 years of coaching to have
that kind of confidence in a team that
was outshot from the field and
outrebounded.
For the 21,572 fans in the Smith
Center, it was not that easy to be confi
dent. Only after Brian Reese's double
pump buzzer-beater from 1 2 feet ripped
through the net could North Carolina
fans relax.
Reese's heroics completed another
of Smith's patented comebacks and gave
No. 9 UNC an 80-78 win versus Wake
Forest. His floating jumper also capped
a 16-3 stretch run by UNC that left the
Tar Heels second in the ACC at 7-2, 1 7
3 overall. A frustrated Demon Deacon
squad lost to UNC for the 10th straight
time and the 22nd time in the last 23
meetings and fell to 4-6, 12-7.
The Tar Heels, whoobviously caught
a case of the post-Devil Blues, found
themselves behind by 22 points mid
way through the first half, down 20
points with 14:49 left in the game, and
1 4 in the hole with 1 0:43 left. Wake was
hot from the floor, shooting 61.1 per
cent in the first half, and converted a
rebounding advantage into second
chance points.
"Usually a team comes out a little flat
after a big win like we had Wednesday,
but we didn't expect to come out that
bad," UNC's Hubert Davis said. "They
weren't scared of us. They came out and
asserted themselves. They were mak
ing their shots, and they made it very
difficult for us to get back in the game."

Fifty-four hours without sleep.
That's the predicament UNC fenc
ing coach Ron Miller found himself in
after his men's and women's teams
hosted a grueling, eight-team dual meet
Saturday at Fetzer Gymnasium.
To call it a long day does not do the
teams justice; the meet lasted 12 hours,
concluding at 8 p.m. The UNC men's
squad finished the day 1 -2, losing close
matches to Air Force and to New York
University, while crushing William &
Mary 2 1 -6. The women's team went 2
1, with convincing 11-5 wins against
Air Force and James Madison and a loss
to Fairleigh Dickinson.
Miller said the length of the day's
events may have caused the somewhat
mediocre performance by the men's
team.
"We fenced tough, but not quite at
the level of intensity I'm used to seeing
with these guys," he said. "It was only a
small letdown, but, frankly, we can't
afford any sort of letdown at this point
in the season."
Drew Thompson surredforthe men's
squad, dropping only one match and
finishing 11-1 overall, while Rayan
Parikh executed well in sabre competi
tion. The primary problem for the Tar
Heels was their failure to earn the fifth
touch, resulting in many 5-4 defeats.
The first fencer to strike his opponent
five times wins the match.

North Carolina senior Heather
Cleevely completed her sweep of the
diving events Saturday, scoring 521.50
points to record a victory on the three
meter board. Cleevely was named the
meet's Most Valuable Diver.
"Her wins in the one-meter and three
meter were tremendous," Comfort said.
"She's been close to it before. It was
such a thrill for her to win not one but
both boards."
North Carolina also received impor
tant contributions from two freshmen.

Wake to 36.7 percent from the field
after the break.
Spurred by a frantic Dean Dome
crowd, the Tar Heels mounted a final
attempt, trailing 75-64 with 6:17 re
maining. A Kevin Salvadori turnaround
jumper from the baseline pulled UNC
within 75-74 at the 3:27 mark. The
Deacons answered with their only bas
ket in the final 6: 1 7 a layup by Chris
King, who hit his free throw after being
fouled by UNC's Henrik R8dl.
Reese used a beautiful hesitation
move on the baseline to explode for a
dunk, pulling the Tar Heels within two.

Pat Sullivan in the post. Sullivan drained
his two free throws his only shots of
the game to tie the game at 78.
After a Wake timeout, King drove
the ball to the right baseline, but Reese
and Davis knocked it loose. UNC's
Derrick Phelps recovered and called a
timeout with 10.9 seconds left. Because
Phelps was limping, Smith set up a play
for Reese to penetrate from the top and
either shoot or pass to Davis coming off
a double screen. Smith also gave Reese
some private instructions.

-point comeback
(the huddle)," Smith said. "I told him,
'If you feel good about it, take it.'"
In a move that Wake coach Dave
Odom and forward Rogers admitted
took the Deacs by surprise, Reese went
right at Rogers, but his jumper was
short and bounced right. Reese tracked
the ball down and went up immediately,
twisted to avoid a charging Trelonnie
Owens, then watched his game-winner
set off a UNC celebration.
"It was crazy," Davis said. "That was
the longest lOsecondsofmy life. These
two wins are the most incredible wins of
my career."
Coincidentally, on UNC's first shot
of the game, it was Reese who buried a
3-pointer that gave the Tar Heels their
only other lead of the game a 3-2
margin that lasted for 10 seconds. In a
season filled with confidence-builders
for Reese, the sophomore may have
been more encouraged by Smith put
ting the game in his hands than by
actually hitting the game-winner.
"It'sagreatfeeling,"Reesesaidabout
Smith's confidence in him. "He put me
out there and put the ball in my hands at
the last minute when Hubert's so hot."
Hot is an understatement. Davis al
most single-handedly kept the Tar Heels
in the game during their early-afternoon
doze. After scoring seven points
in the first half, Davis came out of the
locker room seemingly determined not
to let UNC lose. He hit 7 of 10 second
half shots as UNC heated up to 57.7
percent from the field in the half. His 23
second-half points came on an array of
3-pointers, drives and jumpers with
Deacons in his face.
By the 14:49 mark, UNC had fallen
behind 62-42 when Davis went on a
personal 8-0 run. Wake Forest was still
holding onto a 68-54 lead with 10:43
left, so Davis pumped in the next seven
UNCpoints. Despite Davis' handiwork.
Wake built the lead to 75-66 with 6: 16
remaining. The senior answered with
V
Melissa Douse
six of the Tar Heels' next eight points,
setting the stage for Reese's final flurry.
"I wanted to assert myself," Davis
said, "but I didn't want to force bad
shots like I did at (N.C.) State when we
were behind."
