The Udy Bulldogs best performance in singles came from junior
Elizabeth Alexander Alexander, seeded ninth, won five matches to earn
herself a spot in the finals
In the first round, Alexander quickly disposed of Sarah Mitten from
Mississippi State 6-l, 6-4. Her next victim would be Kentucky's Helene
LeBeller by a score of 7-6, 6-0. In the third round, Alexander dropped a
set to Ann Stephenson of North Carolina before recovering to win 3-6, 6-2
6-2.
Alexander's fourth-round victory over Rita Winebarger, the third
seed from the South Carolina, looked easy as she won 6-1, 6-3 The semi
final match with Kentucky's Beckwith Archer only lasted two sets again
as Alexander routed Archer 6-4, 6-1 The finals pitted Alexander versus
Patti O'Reilly, the No 1 seed from Duke.
O'Reilly outlasted Alexander in three sets to win the singles title 3-6
6-4, 6-3.
"I was very excited with the way Elizabeth played," Georgia coach
Jeff Wallace said, "She had several good wins and I'm hoping this
showing will be strong enough for her to receive an at-large bid for the
National Indoor Tournament. ''
The National Indoors will be held February 5-7 with the tournament
site to be announced Another Georgia player with a shot of going in sin
gles is Stacey Schefflin.
Schefflin advanced to the fourth round of the singles bracket before
losing to O'Reilly. Schefflin, seeded sixth, beat Laurie Jackson of Wake
Forest in the first round 6-2, 6-2. Schefflin made it to the third round de
feating Cathy French of Duke 6-4, 7-5 Schefflin faced O'Reilly after
being extended to three sets by South Carolina's Paulette Roux 3-6, 7-5,
6-2.
The remaining five Georgia representatives in singles lost in the
second round to players from Kentucky, Duke and Alabama players. If
Alexander had managed to beat O'Reilly in the finals, all of Georgia's
singles losses would have been avenged by either Alexander or Schefflin
A sad note in singles for the Lady Bulldogs came in the second-round
match between Georgia's Laurie Friedland and Duke’s Katrina
Greenman In the second set, Friedland tore ligaments in her left knee.
Friedland. Georgia's highest seed in singles in this tournament, appears
to be finished for the season. Friedland, a senior, was voted Most Valu
able Player by her teammates last year
"The loss of Laurie is the biggest disappointment of the year for us,"
Wallace said. "There is nothing really you can do."
Both Georgia doubles entrees failed to make it to the fourth round,
Jane Cohodes and Alexander, who were unseeded, raised some eye
brows with their second-round upset of the No. 1 seed from Wake Forest
Cohodes-Alexander fought off a stong challenge from Jackie Van
Wijk and Monica Kowalewski before winning 1-6, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4). In the
third round the Georgia duo fell 6-4, 2-6, 6-2 to the Vanderbilt pair of
Kathryn Bumstead and Brittian Ellis.
Clemson’s pair of Pam Menne and Laurie Stephan stopped Georgia's
Schefflin-Lisa Apanay, seeded third, in the second round 7-5,7-5
Roux-Biljana Mirkovic captured the doubles championships for South
Carolina, beating Bumstead-Ellis 7-6,6-2.
With its preseason ranking of sixth in the nation, Georgia received an
invitation to play in the National Collegiate Tennis Classic held in Palm
Springs, Calif., from December 18-20. Wallace remains undecided as to
whether Georgia will attend
"I'm not sure if we are going to go out and play in this tournament,”
Wallace said. "This would be our last tournament of 1987. Right now, I
just want the team to stay in shape and concentrate on academics.”

Swimmers sweep Tigers
By Brooks Melchior
KnI and Black Sports Writer
Georgia swim meets are not for
the weak of heart.
Defeating Auburn in the final
yard of the last relay. Georgia's
men’s swimming team sent the
15th-ranked Auburn Tigers out on
its ear last Friday night
And before the War Eagles could
pick themselves and shake off the
dust. Georgia's women’s swimming
swept the visitors out of town on
Saturday morning 80-60. both of the
dual meets being held at Stegeman
Pool.
It was the first time a Georgia's
men’s team had ever beaten a team
in the Top 20 The Bulldogs had also
never swept the Tigers in a dual
meet.
“This is the most important dual
meet we’ve had in many a year,”
Georgia coach Jack Bauerle said.
Indeed, with Bauerle having built
the women’s team into a national
powerhouse, he has now turned his
attention to the men. Stone by stone.
Bauerle has filled out an impressive
roster, with the Auburn triumph tes
tament to the men’s improvement
Razor-close races filled Stegeman
pool air on Friday evening. With
Auburn leading for the duration
until the final freestyle relay,
Georgia swimmers took nothing for
granted.
“The meet could’ve gone either
way,” sprinter Vicktor Olsson said
“The whole thing basically came
down to the last five yards of the
last relay.’’
Georgia dominated both the short
sprints and longer freestyle events,
with Olsson claiming second in the
50-yard freestyle while Trevor
Hodges won the 100- and 200-yard
freestyles and senior transfer Brian
Kunkler the 500- and 1,000-yard free
styles.
Setting Georgia up for the kill in
the last relay were Joey Benjamin
and Peter O'Sullivan. Benjamin
won 200-yard breastroke while O’
Sullivan cruised to a second-place
finish. By having the top two fin
ishers in the race, Georgia accrued
enough points to put itself in posi
tion to overtake the visitors in the
final event
With Trevor Hodges swimming
the anchor leg of the last 400-yard
freestyle relay. Georgia kept
Bauerle on the brink
"The margin of difference the
whole race couldn't be any closer,’’
he said. “I didn't know who won
until I looked up at the scoreboard.’’
Hodges outstretched Auburn's
Kenny O’Neil at the wall to steal
away a 61-52 victory from the War
Eagles.
Following Bauerle’s blood-pres
sure test on Friday night. Georgia's
women pummeled Auburn bright
and early on Saturday morning in a
10 a.m. meet.
Knocking Auburn out of the
saddle early, Georgia rode past the
Tigers on the strength victories
from Linda Leith. Jennifer Kitins.
Peg Rothenbach and Karla Mosdell
among others.
Georgia’s diving crew also heaped
points aplenty onto Georgia's final
tally by sweeping both the one
meter and three-meter competition.
Rookies Sheila Taormina and Sue
Suwalski also continued to impress,
with Taormina grabbing two races
and Suwalski runner-up in two
Incurring serious losses to grad
uation last year, recent victories
over Florida Slate and Auburn have
glued the women’s team's splin
tered confidence hack together
again
“We’re really starting to become
more team-oriented now." Kitins
said. "We just need to build on these
wins and continue to work hard.”
