Mlanta Georgia 30324 By FRANK MALLOY Assistant sports editor The Georgia Bulldogs cleared two more minor hurdles this weekend in their quest for an NCAA tournament bid. but they still find themselves confronting an even larger roadblock in the form of the Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee invades town this Friday for what promises to be a classic showdown for the right to represent Region 3 in the NCAA event to be held at Georgia in late May. The Bulldogs two weekend wins over Florida and Georgia Tech raised the team's record to an impressive 23-1 and the win over the Gators represent ed the fifth key road victory for Dan Magill's squad. "This was the worst we’ve ever beaten Florida down there." said Magill in referring to the Dogs' 7-2 triumph "Usually when we go down there, they play us a very close match.” Georgia clinched the match in the singles phase of the competition winning five of the six matches. Senior captain Wesley Cash was the only loser as he bowed to Kevin Cook 6-2, 6-3 at the no. 1 slot. "Wes is just not in top form,” remarked Magill. "He hasn't played in enough matches to be sharp." Bill Rogers. Paul Groth and John Mangan all won their contests in straight sets while Brent Crymes at no. 3 singles and Australian Peter Lloyd were extended to three sets before claiming victory. The Bulldogs other two wins came at the no.'s 1 and 3 doubles slots where Cash and Rogers and Lloyd and Stephan Maloney were winners. Cash and Rogers went three sets in subduing Cook and Chuck Davis while the "Amazing Aussies’ chalked up a straight sets victory 6-4, 6-4. Staff photo Sally Krnehnke Rogers was winner against Florida and Tech Against Georgia Tech, the Bulldogs barely succeeded in working up a sweat in posting an easy 8-1 win over the outmanned Yellow Jackets. Crymnes, playing in the no. 1 singles slot in place of Cash, roared past Peter Burrus 6-3. 6-3 in a match that typified the easy time Georgia had in disposing of Tech. The Bulldogs only loss came at no. 6 singles where Tommy Marsh defaulted in the second set due to a sprained ankle after losing the first set 6-4 to Bill Olsen, the only set Georgia lost all da\. Magill held Cash out of the Tech match in order to allow the Georgia captain to rest an ailing shoulder that has plagued him all season Georgia now faces South Alabama on Thursday at Henry Feiid Stadium in a tune-up match for the Tennes see clash the following day. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 2 p.m and will be played at the Coliseum in case of rain. Lacrosse team defeats Tech The stage was set. Georgia Tech was undefeated, needing only a victory over Georgia to finish up a perfect season and win a Southeastern championship Georgia had suffered early season losses but had won six of their last seven games. Both teams wanted to win desperately but the Bulldog lacrosse team won the game 14-13 Sunday at the intramural fields. Two late goals by Ben Aycock sparked the Georgia team, led by Terry Boudreau's five goals and Wayne Collins’ three goals and three assists. The win boosted their conference record to five wins and two losses Tech had come into the game undefeated in the conference and Georgia's only thought was to wreck the Yellow Jackets' record. "They came in undefeated." goalie Dan Mooney explained, "and we didn’t have a chance of winning the conference but we wanted to blemish their record and that was exactly what we did. That and the fact it was Tech we were playing was all we needed to beat them." Goalie Todd Jarrell whose play in the second half was described by many observers as amazing and Aycock both received game balls. Georgia outscored Tech 6-3 in their fourth quarter rally. With the score 12-12 and less than two minutes to go. Aycock beat his defender and swept in from the left side to put Georgia in the lead. Then with just 24 seconds left in the game, midfielder passed to Aycock and the little attackman bounced the ball into the net to clinch the game for the Bulldogs Tech then scored to make the game 14-13 but it was the classic case of too little, too late lor the visitors. Outstanding defensive play from Robin Shamburger and Fred Billings late in the game keyed the winning goals.
