Al Parker: No. 1 Tennis Dog
will be out up to two weeks.
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
A depleted Georgia men’s tennis
team (6-1) was defeated by Cal-
Berkeley 5-1 in the semi-finals of
the USTA/ITCA Team Indoors Sat
urday in Louisville, Ky.
Top Dog Al Parker did not play
because of an injury to his right
arm. He is currently undergoing
therapy for possible nerve damage
and may be out for up to two
weeks.
“I was hitting with Hector (Ne-
vares) before the match and my
arm just started killing,” Parker
said. “It was a shooting pain which
extended through my arm. It hurt
so bad that I couldn’t even raise my
arm.”
The loss of Parker, the nation’s
No. 1 ranked player, from the Cal-
Berkeley match Beverly hurt
Georgia’s chances as each player
had to move up one position in the
line-up.
“Our guys were ready to play at
a certain position against a certain
opponent, Georgia coach Manuel
Diaz said. ‘Then 15 minutes before
the match, we find out Al is hurt
and we have to move everyone up.
It’s like you’re ready to start a car
race and you get a flat tire.”
Cal-Berkeley coach Scott Mc
Cain believes that with Porker in
the line-up, it would have been a
completely different match.
‘The probable outcome of the
match was altered when Al
couldn’t play,” McCain said. “With
Al in there it would have been a
completely different ball game. We
had a decided advantage and we
took control under the circum
stances.”
Georgia’s two freshmen, Hector
Nevares and Patricio Arnold,
moved up to play at No. 1 and No. 2
singles, respectively. Nevares was
a three-set loser to Cal’s Doug Ei-
senmann 6-4, 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, while
Arnold was quickly disposed 6-1, 6-
1 by Bent Ove Pedersen.
Nevares saved two match points
with two aces at 5-6 in the second
set before coming back to win the
second set in a tiebreaker. Eisen-
mann eased to a 4-0 third set lead
before finishing the match out 6-3
in the third.
“I just keep going for too much
on my first serve, instead of hitting
three-quarter pace serves,” Ne
vares said.
Cal-Berkeley lost to Stanford 5-2
in the finals.

In the third game on Sunday,
right-hander Mike Rebhan struck

“1 felt pretty g<x>d today,”
Rebhan said. “I had gtx)d control of
all three of my pitches. I tried to
keep them low in the strike zone
and keep them (the batters) off bal
ance."
Wildes four-run poke came in
the first inning after first baseman
Brian Jester was hit by a pitch to
load the bases.
“It was a perfect fast ball right
down the middle.” Wildes said.
Two innings later, the Bulldogs
scored two runs. Catcher Terry
Childers doubled to drive in a run.
Georgia added another when a
runner scored from third on a
Wake Forest error.
The Bulldogs tallied two more in
the fifth to go up 8-0. After scoring
one run in the sixth, Ray Suplee
ended a big Georgia inning with a
three-run homer to left. Jester had
the hottest hand of the weekend.
In Saturday’s game, he went
four-for-five, hitting his fourth and
fifth homer for a total of three RBI.
“He’s hitting the ball as hard as
anybody we’ve ever had at
Georgia,” said coach Steve Webber.
“He’s just a tough out.”
Bruce Chick also hit two home
runs. Jeff Cooper and Ray Suplee
each added another.
Dave Fleming pitched seven in
nings and struck out eight to win
his first game of the season.
Georgia’s next game was sup
posed to be Thursday against the
Atlanta Braves, but the game was
cancelled because of the major
league’s spring training lock-out.
In lieu of the scratch, the Bulldogs
will play Western Carolina
Tuesday afternoon at 3 p.m. in Cul-
lowhee, N.C.

SEC Championships
Lady swimmers finish 4th
The University of Georgia women’s swimming and diving team fin
ished fourth at the 1990 Southeastern Conference Championship Meet,
while the men finished sixth in the annual meeting of the conference
teams.
The Lady Bulldogs compiled 402.0 points in the four-day competi
tion held at the University of Alabama Aquatic Center in Tuscaloosa,
Ala. Florida and Tennessee took the top two places, by scoring 897.0
and 722.0 points, respectively, while Alabama was able to capture third
place with 456.0 points.
"On the women’s side, we gave it all we had,” head coach Jack
Bauerlc. “We gave Alabama a fairly good run, but they were able to out-
man us. We tried extremely hard and I’m proud of the effort.”
Georgia got strong performances from several women. The high
light of the meet came when senior captain Karla Mosdell captured the
SEC title in the 50-yard freestyle by swimming a time of 23.27. That
time qualified her for the NCAA Championships in the event. Mosdell
was also runner-up in the 100-yard freestyle and a consolation finalist
in. the 200-yard freestyle.
Freshmen Malin Gustnvsson and Paige Wilson also were out
standing. Guatavsson finished third in the 200-yard individual medley,
eighth in the 200-yard freestyle, and was a consolation finalist in the
100-yard freestyle. Wilson recorded a fifth-place standing in the 100-
yard butterfly, sixth-place finish in the 500-yard freestyle, and made
the consolation heat of the 200-yard butterfly.
The men scored a total of 311.0 points, placing sixth in the stand
ings. The Florida men captured the SEC crown with 820.0 points, while
Tennessee was the runner-up.
Track teams make strides
By GUTHERIE SCHAFFER
Contributing Writer
Although the final team standings do not indicate it, the University
of Georgia track teams made a good showing at the Southeastern Con
ference Track Championships this past weekend in Gainesville, Fla.
The women’s team, despite finishing seventh, headlined the
weekend with two school records and two qualifiers for the upcoming
NCAA Championships.
Trisha Carter set a school record in the 400-meters with a time of
53.61, breaking the old record by nearly three seconds. Trisha placed
fourth in the event, enabling her to qualify for the NCAA meet.
For Jolly Earle this weekend must have felt like deja vu. Two weeks
ago on the same track, Jolly set the school record in the 5000-meters.
This past weekend, with a new record of 16:11.22, she not only broke
her own record, but easily qualified for the NCAA meet by over nine sec
onds.
For the men, who placed ninth, Bill Jones high-jumped his way to a
fifth-place finish. The men’s 1600- and 3200-meter relay teams both fin
ished in the top five as well.
In the final results from the weekend, LSU won the men’s and
Florida won the women’s.
Lady Netters sweep Bama, Vandy
By MICHELLE NOBLE
Sports Writer
Talk about a clean sweep.
The Georgia women’s tennis team (6-1) did not lose
a single set in their two 9-0 dual-match victories over
SEC opponents at the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Courts
this weekend.
The Lady Netters ended Alabama’s five-match win
ning streak in a match Saturday that was never close.
Alabama tempers flared as the Lady Dogs won point
after point.
Freshman Maria Salsgard’s opponent at No. 5 sin
gles, Andi Seisel, did not take kindly to losing 6-3, 6 1.
Siesel threw her racket down twice, once drawing a vi
olation from the umpire. ButSiesel’s tantrums did not
seem to ruffle Salsgard.
“I was playing well, and what she did didn’t really
affect me,” Salsgard said. “You just have to concen
trate.”
Shannan McCarthy, Stacey Schefflin, Caryn Moss,
and Shawn McCarthy won at No. 1 through 4 singles,
respectively, and Tonya Bogdonas was also victorious
at No. 6 singles against Alabama. The Lady Dogs
were as relentless in doubles play.
Concentration was the key in Sunday’s match
against Vanderbilt, as the Lady Netters faced a
lightly-regarded Commodore squad. Shannan Mc
Carthy, Schefflin, Moss, Shawn McCarthy, Salsgard,
and Bogdonas won half of the sets in their respective
No. 1 through 6 singles matches by scores of either 6-1
or 6-0. The doubles scores were equally one-sided.
Georgia coach Jeff Wallace knew that his team’s
mentality would be an important factor over the
weekend, since the Lady Dogs were heavily favored in
both matches.
“I liked the team’s concentration effort," Wallace
said. “Alabama’s got a better team this year than
they’ve ever had when we played them, and we did
well to win every set. It was also hard to play a team
like Vanderbilt because everyone knew we were going
to beat both these teams.”
