The North Carolina women's track team won its fourth ACC outdoor championship in the past five years this weekend at the ACC Championships, running away from Virginia 171-164. For Coach Dennis Craddock's squad, the win signalled a return to the top of the league after losing the 1991 outdoor and 1992 indoor crowns to Clemson. UNC senior high-jump star Tisha Waller, paced the Tar Heels Saturday with a win in the high-jump competi tion. Her leap of 6-feet, 2 34 inches was good enough for a meet record. The win was Waller's third consecutive ACC championship in the high jump. After Saturday, the Tar Heels led Virginia 75-62. Sunday, North Carolina got wins in the heptathlon, 400-meter hurdles and discus to secure the victory. In the heptathlon, senior Nicky By Amy McCaffrey Staff Writer ADVANCE It was the greatest women's golf ACC Championship ever played. OK, the tournament at Bermuda Run this weekend was the first held in six years, and only the fourth overall, but time will uphold the excitement of the 1 992 tournament. A precedent has been set. No. 10 North Carolina won the tour nament with its final player on her final hole of what might have been her final col legiate tournament. (The bids for the NCAA Tournament won't come out until May 18th.) The team's three-day score of 921 bettered by two that of runner-up Florida State, whose inauguration into the con ference added a fourth team to the tour ney and made the renewal of the ACCs possible. Duke finished third with a 934, and a 957 left Wake Forest in last place. Conference officials will file away those scores, but the numbers don't tell the story. Numbers won't show the gallery of players, coaches, parents, roommates and interested onlookers who were perched around the 1 8th green Saturday for an agonizing 20 minutes, waiting for the final foursome to arrive. Numbers won't record the screams of relief given by the UNC golfers as senior co-captain Debbie Donigerputted out, and numbers certainly won't de scribe the tears Doniger cried after it was all over. As Doniger approached the 18th green, she was oblivious to her team's No. 2 lacrosse takes 2 Classic By Jennifer Dunlap Staff Writer The North Carolina lacrosse team showed over the weekend that, some times, quantity is just as important as quality. UNC head coach Dave Klarmann cleared his bench Sunday as UNC fin ished its regular season with an 18-7 win against Villanova in the second round of the fourth-annual Triangle Lacrosse Classic. Saturday in Durham, the Tar Heels defeated Michigan State 18-8 in the first round. Sunday's game showcased the North Carolina reserves, who were respon sible for nine of the Tar Heels' 1 8 goals. The invitational was a chance for some less-experienced Tar Heels to shine. "This weekend was the first week end where we were able to play every body, because over the course of two months we had to fight and scratch for every game," said UNC head coach Dave Klarmann. "The guys that don't get to play need a chance to play to show me why they should or shouldn't play." Klarmann said his team did not play very intensely Sunday, but won the game with talent. "It had to do with the fact that North Carolina had more physical ability than their opponents on two con secutive days," he said. "We just have more guys. We have more scholarships. We have more tradition. We're just better." SeniormidfielderDan Donnelly, who had a goal and four assists Sunday, said he enjoyed watching his younger team mates come of age. "When we play games like these, we realize that we're a more talented team Hudson took first with 5,431 points. Hudson, from Angier, also won the ACC crown in 1990. Senior Rebecca Russell, a Fancy Gap, Va. native, won the 400 hurdles in 57.03 seconds. In discus com- n " " iff Tisha Waller petition, UNC nabbed the top two spots, as junior Lynda Lipson, from Lynn, Mass., placed first with a toss of 169 feet, 10 inches. Sophomore Ingrid Hantho was second with a heave of 1 56 6. For Lipson, the win was her second ACC title in two different events. She won the javelin in 1991. In the triple jump, UNC senior Penny Blackwell finished second with a jump of 41-9 14. situation. "As a team I thought we'd won," she said. "I didn't realize it came down to that putt, and I'm glad I didn't know." Doniger had no reason to believe her team was in jeopardy UNC had led the field by 12 strokes after two days, and FSU had only picked up a stroke on the front nine Saturday. Doniger did know that she was 2-up on FSU's Mary Lee Cobick for the individual title but that she wasn't safe yet. Cobick had begun Saturday with a two-stroke edge on Doniger, but the pair were tied at the turn. Doniger added as many as three shots on her opponent on the back nine, but Cobick was persistent. Each of the pair's second shots at 1 8 landed in a bunker to the left of the green. As Doniger laid her bag down green-side, she asked her teammates how they were doing. All reassured her they were fine. Doniger later said that she was glad her teammates didn't tell her where they really stood. "I would have died," she said. "I wouldn't have putted." Doniger chipped out of the sand first, her shot bouncing near the pin and land ing on the back fringe of the green. Cobick's ball had more life and landed 10 feet in back of Doniger's. Cobick muffed her fourth shot, leav ing it still short of the green. Doniger putted off the fringe and brought the ball within four feet of the hole. Cobick also used her putter on the fringe, and then tapped in for a double-bogey 6. Doniger's final putt for bogey and an overall score of 220 brought the gallery rushing to the green and the tournament to a close. "Debbie didn't know how we stood than them, and as long as we play hard, we should be able to handle them," he said. "That's kind of a goal for me, anyway, and for a lot of the seniors to work real hard in the beginning so that you can give the other guys a chance. Those guys work really hard in prac tice, just as hard as anybody. I think it's great watching some of the freshmen get their first career goals I remem ber back to those days. I see a lot of potential in those guys, and I'm real glad they're here." Donnelly was one of a slew of veter ans who helped give UNC a chance to show its depth. Junior attackmen Steve Speers and John Webster scored three goals apiece and sophomore Ryan Wade drilled in two. Villanova attackman Sol Mahoney opened the scoring Sunday seven min utes into the game. But that was the only time the Wildcats had the lead. In the first half, UNC middie Steve Muir and attackman Danny Levy tal lied two each and attackman Rick Codd scored one. At the end of the first half the score was UNC 12, Villanova 5. The second half saw the UNC de fense step up its play and hold Villanova to just two goals, one in each quarter. Also in the second half, middie Steve Schattner found the net twice. His first goal, at the 11:22 mark of the third period, came off a rebound of a shot that hit the post. Schattner notched his second goal off a pass from freshman middie Scott Bulkley. The assist was Bulkley's first career point. Two other freshmen garnered their first career goals in the game's closing minutes. UNC middie Kyle Durkee UNC sports have won 8 ACC titles in 1991-92 ACC Men's tennis Staff report CHARLOTTE The North Caro lina men's tennis team used an MVP performance by senior Bryan Jones to upend Duke 5-4 Sunday and take the ACC championship at the Renaissance Park Tennis Center. The win upped UNC's record to 24 4, 1 1 -0 in league play, and avenged a 5 2 loss to Duke in last year's ACC Tour nament final. Duke fell to 19-6. The win marked the eighth ACC title North Carolina has captured this school year, encompassing all sports. That ties UNC's own ACC record, set in the 1989-90 school year. Jones, named the tournament's most outstanding player, clinched the title with an ace at No. 2 doubles, giving him and teammate Joe Frierson a 6-4, 7-6 (7-3) victory versus Duke's David Hall and Chris Pressley. Jones, 24-2 in singles this season, defeated Hall 6-4, 6-2 at No. 2 singles. In the day's most pivotal match, in ACCs or anything; she just played like a true champion," said UNC coach Dot Gunnells. "Debbie is never going to give you a high score," Gunnells later added, and Doniger's steady totals of 73-73-74 evidenced that. No other golfer in the tourney broke 75 more than once on the par-73 course. Gunnells spoke with limited author ity on Doniger's play, as she doesn't shadow hercaptain during tournaments. "Deb's a little superstitious about me following her," she said. "She says she doesn't play well when I follow her, so I usually don't follow her." Doniger was joined on the AII-ACC squad by teammate Kim Byham, Wake's Stephanie Neill, Duke's Kim Cayce and FSU's Erica Firnhaber. FSU's Debbie Miles-Dillman was voted ACC Coach of the Year. Byham's total of 229 qualified her for fourth place. Other Tar Heel finish ers were: Amber Marsh, whose 236 tied for 1 1 th place; Jessica Wood, who shot a 238 and placed 13th; and Meredith Quimby, who shot a 245 and placed 17th. But those are numbers again num bers that can't reflect the drama of the moment. Possibly it was Byham who best recognized the tradition being set in her team's victory. As she told Doniger on the way to the awards pre sentation, "How perfect is this? Senior wins the tournament, and the team wins on the last hole." How perfect indeed. The pioneering legends of ACC golf were crowned Saturday ... they just don't realize it yet. scored an unassisted goal at the 9:29 mark of the fourth quarter. Four min utes later, middie Clint Harris tallied his first career goal with a diving shot past Wildcat goalkeeper Brian Kash. Senior middie Steve Gilhuley, , who received UNC's George Browne Most Valuable Player Award Sunday, said the team's younger players deserved the chance to play in games like these. "I think it's a big thing for the fresh men," he said. "They're a big part of our team. This is a reward for them." Klarmann said he thought his team had room for more improvement. "I still think we have a long way to go as far as how well we can play," he said. "I don't think we've gotten to that game where we played it very well for 60 Tar Heel attackman Danny Levy looks for i " i If f : lN i & f )ai!
