Tennis Dogs defeat
N.C. State at home
By RANOY WALKER
Sports Writer
The second-ranked Georgia
men's tennis team 0-0) defeated
N.C. State 6-3 Saturday at the
Linsey Hopkins Indoor Tennis
Center.
It might not have if Mike Mor
rison had lost his third-set tie
breaker at No. 2 singles.
Morrison's 2-6, 6-0, 7-6 (7-4) vic
tory at No. 2 singles over N.C.
State's Mike Herb prevented the
Dogs from entering doubles ac
tion tied 3-3 with the inferior
Wolfpack squad.
Georgia coach Manuel Dias de
cided to rest from singles his No.
1 player, A1 Parker, and Jack
Frierson from singles and dou
bles action.
“Overall, with two players out
of the line-up we did pretty well,"
Diaz said. “The attitude that it’s
N.C. State, they’re unranked and
that it’s early in the season cost
us a few matches. I hope we can
do better next time."
“I'm really thought we’d be 3-3
after the singles," N.C. State
coach Crawford Henry said. "We
would have put a little pressure
on them in doubles. I thought we
had a chance to win the team
match. *
Herb's big serves in the faster
conditions of the indoor environ
ment, enabled him to capture the
first set from Morrison 6-2.
1 had a very slow start,” Mor
rison said. "He hit some big
and was holding serve
easily."

second set with improved
groundstrokes, the two battled to
a final set tie-break before the

Lady Dogs inch past Kentucky, 78-75
By ERIC GARBER
Sports Writer
Trying to inch its way to the top
of the SEC, the fourth-ranked
Georgia women’s basketball team
defeated a stubborn Kentucky
squad 78-75 before a Saturday
night Coliseum crowd of 1,589.
Not until Georgia sophomore
guard Lady Hardmon gave her
team a 71-70 advantage by con
verting on a three-point play with
1:06 left did the Dogs take the lead
for good.
“I didn’t think the game would
go exactly like it did,” Georgia
coach Andy Landers said. “Ken
tucky almost played as well as we
did and I think that says a lot
about how they were prepared.”
For a while, Kentucky did play
better than the Lady Dogs as it
forced Georgia to shoot just 44 per
cent from the field and commit 20
turnovers. Kentucky did this with
only 13 minutes from its leading
scorer, center Lisa Ellis (13 points
per game), who was shaken up in
the first half and was used spar
ingly during the remainder of the
game.
Taking advantage of Georgia’s
errant passing, Kentucky guard
Tracye Davis stole a pass and hit
for two of her 23 points to give the
Lady Kats a ten-point lead midway
through the second half.
“At that point, I have to admit
that I was surprised to be down by
so many points," Georgia forward
Stacey Ford said. "It finally got to a
point where 1 just needed to play
my game and not worry about it.
Ford was a big reason for
Georgia’s comeback as she earned
her team possession on a jump ball
and proceeded to tie the game 64-
64 with n jumper in the paint late
in the game. The SEC’s leader in
field goal percentage (64.6 percent
before Saturday’s match) finished
with 12 points.
Georgia’s flash of glory was
short-lived however as Kentucky
forward Josh Mills hit on three
consecutive Lady Kat possessions
to give UK a 70-66 lead with just
1:48 remaining. Mills finished with
16 points and six rebounds.
Along with its inaccurate
shooting, Georgia committed 30
fouls to Kentucky’s 20, enabling
UK to score 22 points on freeth-
rows.
Jenkins traded baskets with
Mills late to give Georgia a fighting
chance down the stretch.
“Any good team is eventually
going to have to come together if
you want to win,” Jenkins said. “I
just tried to do everything within
my power to help us. The SEC is
very unpredictable and you can’t
be selfish in these games.”
Jenkins traded baskets
with Mills late to give
Georgia a fighting
chance down the
stretch.
Jenkins led all scorers with
24.The Dogs’ ability to find scoring
while shooting miserably —
Georgia shot just 40 percent and
lost in a similar situation against
Vanderbilt earlier in the season —
has given Landers confidence that
his team is growing.
The Lady Dogs are now 19-2
overall and 4-2 in the SEC, just one
game behind conference-leading
Auburn, and next play at Clemson
Wednesday. Kentucky drops to 14-
6 (1-5 in the SEC).

The Georgia men’s basketball
team, 6-4 in the SEC after losing
88-77 to Kentucky on the road Sat
urday, face the Florida Gators to
night in the Coliseum.
The game will be nationally tele
vised on ESPN, with a late start at
9:30 p.m.
The Dogs were unable to post
back-to-back road victories after
beating LSU for their first SEC
road triumph. Georgia played very
sloppy, 32 turnovers in all, but
were in a position to win with less
than two minutes remaining in the
ballgnme and down by only four
points.
But the Dogs were unable to get
over the hump, watching the Wild
cats hit their last 19 free throws.
Another glaring statistic from the
loss was Kentucky’s rebounding
advantage. After ruling the boards
in a win last month against the
Wildcats in Athens, the Dogs man
aged only 27 rebounds to the out-
sized Wildcats’ 34.
“I wasn’t real pleased with my
rebounding,” center Neville Austin
said. “There’s always room for im
provement."
Austin, who is averaging 6.8 re
bounds per game, had three re
bounds and eight points.
The Gators come into Athens to
night as the SEC doormat with a 2-
7 conference record. Florida was
picked to finish among the SEC’s
top three, but have been waylaid
by unforseen circumstances.
Its head coach, Norm Sloan, was
forced to resign in the wake of an
NCAA investigation.
Florida’s starting center and
probable first-round draft pick in
the NBA, Dwayne Schintzius, was
suspended for disclipinary reasons
by interim head coach Don Devoe
Inst month and then later quit alto
gether. Schintzius was one of col
lege basketball’s most influential
players when he wanted to be. Un
fortunately for the Gators, he spent
most of his time sulking about one
thing or another and it affected his
play.
Livingston Chatman also left
the Gators last month, after de
ciding he was burned out on bas
ketball.
As a result of losing their top two
scorers, Florida has lost its last six
straight games.

The Dogs are unbeaten
and have won their last
nine straight games in
the Coliseum. But with
the SEC race so tight
this year, Georgia’s
loss to Kentucky forces
a must-win situation for
tonight and each game
hereafter.
“Right now we’re not a very
strong team,” Devoe said. “If you
lose key players it’s tough to win.”
Georgia has a streak going itself.
The Dogs are unbeaten and have
won their last nine straight games
in the Coliseum.
But with the SEC race so tight
this year, Georgia’s I06S to Ken
tucky forces a must-win situation
for tonight and each game here
after.
“I think it would be a must-win
situation whether we had beaten
Kentucky or not,” Alec Kessler
said. “Although, it would have been
great to win. It’s going to be tough.”
The Gator’s new top-guns are
forward Dwayne Davis, 12.6 points
per game, and guard Renaldo
Garcia, who is averaging 11.2
points per game.
Florida’s newest rising star is
freshman Stacey Poole, who tallied
24 points in a losing effort against
Mississippi Saturday.
