Netters defeat GT;
ailing Parker loses
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Everyone was cold at the Georgia-Georgia Tech tennis match yes
terday at Henry Feild Stadium. But A1 Parker was the coldest.
After spending the entire day at the Gilbert Health Center nursing
the flu, Parker was upset by Jens Skjoedt 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (7-4) at the No. 1
singles position as the Dogs (8-1) defeated Georgia Tech 7-2.
"Being sick made it appear that A1 had no spunk," Georgia conch
Manuel Diaz said. “(Al) gave it a good effort. Skjoedt just played very well
and made a great comeback."
Parker rolled to a 4-1 advantage in the third set and served for the
match at 5-4, but Skjoedt raised his level of play to bring the match into a
final set tie-break.
At 3-3 in the tie-break, Parker served a back-breaking double fault
which put Skjoedt up a mini-break. Skjoedt sealed the match four points
later with a forehand top-spin lob over the leaping Parker’s head.
“He wasn’t playing well from the beginning,” Skjoedt said. “He played
really bad and I took advantage of it.”
The Dogs led the Yellow Jackets 4-2 after singles play. Mike Morrison
at No. 2, Patricio Arnold at No. 3, Jim Childs at No. 5, and Murphy
Jensen at No. 6 each won singles matches.
Morrison and Arnold clinched the match for the Dogs with a 6-1, 6-3
win over Jeff Endres and Joe D’Aleo at No. 3 doubles.
“We didn’t win as easy as I would have liked to have,” Diaz said. “We
had some ups and downs and some inconsistencies but that’s what hap
pens when you have a young team. I’m proud though of the way they
came through in the clutch situations.”

Face Vanderbilt-
Florida winner
By DAVID PACE
Sports Writer
After claiming its first-ever SEC
championship, the Georgia men’s
basketball team enters this week
end’s conference tournament in Or
lando, Fla. seeded first.
The Dogs, 13-5 in the SEC and
20-7 overall, will play tonight’s
winner of the Vanderbilt-Florida
game on Friday at 7:30 p.m.
Although this marks the first
time Georgia has been seeded first,
the Dogs have had success in the
SEC tournament this decade. In
1983, the Dogs whipped Ole Miss,
Tennessee and Alabama to win the
tournament. They went on that
year to win the East Regional of
the NCAA and made the first-ever
appearance in the Final Four by a
Georgia squad. They also reached
the finals of the SEC tournament
in 1981 and in 1988 but lost.
Unlike last year, when the Dogs
were seeded ninth and fighting to
moke the National Invitational
Tournament field, Georgia heads
to Orlando on top with a virtual
lock on an NCAA tournament bid.
“Last year we were in a must-
win situation,” junior point guard
Rod Cole said. “This year, it’s a no
pressure situation. We can have
some fun.”
Cole, along with off guard Litte-
rial Green, dominated opposing
back-courts all year and will be
looked to for scoring and aggres
sive defense in the tournament.
They can expect help from junior

Jody Patton and freshman Shaun
Golden.
Patton, who leads the SEC in 3-
point field goal percentage, has
been effective from the perimeter
and Golden has been a royal pain
for opposing point guards.
In tne front-court, forwards Alec
Kessler and Marshall Wilson,
along with center Neville Austin,
look to control the boards.
A big plus for the Dogs will be
the reemergence of forward Lem
Howard. Howard has come on
strong at the end of the season
after suffering a fractured wrist in
the Mississippi State game on Jan
uary 14. Howard, along with

aid. “When 1 get in
the game I feel confident that I can
help the team out.”
If the DogB make it to the finals,
they will have played three games
in three days, which makes the
play of Howard and Rhine off the
bench more vital.
Kessler is averaging 20.5 points
and 10.2 rebounds per game this
year. He will have a chance this
weekend to break Vem Fleming’s
all-time scoring mark of 1,777
points at Georgia. The senior is
currently in second place with 1,-
732 points.
But don't expect Kessler to
worry about a scoring record. The
All-SEC forward is concentrating
on the task at hand.
“We don’t feel like the favorites
to win,” Kessler said. “But we feel
real confident. If we come in fo
cused on one game at a time and
play aggressive, then I feel that
well do well.”
Friday and Saturday’s games
