Paul Claxton won for a third time this golf season, but this past
weekend at the Billy Hitchcock Invitational the Vidalia native had to go
an extra hole to capture medalist honors. Claxton birdied the 18th to tie
Cliff Kresge of Central Florida, and then went on to birdie the first
playoff hole to capture the individual title at the Hitchcock Invitational
111 Auburn The No 12 Golf Dogs also came away victorious, winning the
team title. However, the battle for the top team spot was not as tight as
the individual race. Georgia led from start to finish en route to a 22-
stroke victory The team win is the first for the Golf Dogs since their
first-place finish in the Tennessee Invitational in early October. “We fi
nally got our game completely together and that was the difference,"
coach Dick Copas said. “We’ve been close to tvinning all spring and this
time we -tally did.” Claxton, a winner at the Tennessee Invitational
and Southeastern Fall Classic, had slipped in recent tournaments fin
ishing only as high as 13th this spring But Claxton was back to old
form in the Hitchcock because of a swing correction, Copas said. “Paul
worked out a swing fault and that really has made a difference in his
game," said C.ipas “For us to have a shot at the SEC tourney, Paul will

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. —Georgia’s
chances of winning the SEC Team
Tennis Tournament this weekend
came crashing through a back-
court curtain at Cedar Bluff Indoor
Racquet Club late Saturday af
ternoon.
With Georgia’s No. 2 player, Pat
ricio Arnold, sustaining an ankle
injury in the semi-final victory over
LSU, the fifth-ranked Bulldogs
(20-4) were forced to move five of
their six players up a notch in their
line-up Sunday for the
championship match against host
Tennessee.
The change resulted in a 5-1 win
for the undefeated Volunteers (31-
0) which snapped Georgia’s three-
year grapple nold over the SEC
championship.
“When you lose your No. 2
player and you have five players
playing out of position it puts a
little more pressure on you,”
Georgia coach Manuel Diaz said.
Arnold, down 5-1 in the first set
against LSl^s Johan Milbrink in
the team semi-finals, turned over
his left ankle before falling through
a tarp at the back of the court.
After re-appearing from behind the
curtain after about a minute, Ar
nold concluded his singles match
and went on to clinch Georgia’s 5-2
win over LSU at No. 3 doubles. But
when the Buenos Aires, Argentina
native awoke the next morning,
the pain and swelling was too
much for the Bulldog freshman to
compete against the Vols.
“When we found out Patricio-
wasn’t playing, it was a big boost
for us," Tennessee co-captain Brice
Karsh said. “They had to move all
their players up one place and I
don’t think they (Georgia) were as
strong."
The Vols, who should vault into
the nation's No. 1 slot in the Volvo
Tennis Rankings set to be released
Tuesday, clinched the title at No. 1
singles where Doug Flach fought
off five match points and a 5-2 final
set deficit to defeat A1 Parker 6-4,
5-7, 7-5.
Flach, the younger brother of
former Wimbledon and U.S. Open
doubles champion Ken Flach, was
spurned to the victory by a home
town crowd of more than 2,500.
“I don’t think I could have come
back with only 50 people in the
stands,” Flach said. ‘The crowd
really picked me up when I needed
It.”
In the last five games of the'
match, Flach approached the net
12 times winning 16 points.
“I knew I had to come to net,”
Flach said. “Physically, I knew I
‘When we found out
Patricio wasn't playing,
it was a big boost for
us... I don’t think they
(Georgia) were as
strong’
-Brice Karsh
Tennessee co-captain
couldn’t stay with A1 off the
ground. I was tired.”
With a win over the Vols,
Georgia could have tied for the
SEC title because the SEC crown is
determined by points earned
during the regular season and the
team tournament. Tennessee fin
ished with 12 points while Georgia
ended with 10.

SEC co-championship for Lady Netters
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Florida’s No. 2 ranked Lady Ga
tors turned the tide on Georgia’s
fourth-ranked women’s tennis
team Sunday with a 5-2 victory in
the finals of the SEC Team Tour
nament Sunday in Starkville,
Mies.
The win for Florida (29-2)
clinched a tie with the Lady Dogs
for the conference championship.
Georgia (21-3) went into the fi
nals with 11 points, (nine from reg
ular season dual wins and two in
the tournament) while Florida had
10 points (eight from the regular
season and two from the tourna
ment). Florida’s win over the
Georgia in the finals gave the Lady
Gators their eleventh point, tying
them with Georiga.
"We played a good match but
Florida just played extremely
well,” said Georgia coach Jeff Wal
lace, who was named the 1990 SEC
Coach-of-the-Year.
All the singles matches went as
they did in Georgia’s 5-4 regular-
season victory over the Gators ex
cept during No. 2 singles. Nicole
Arendt avenged a prior three-set
loss to Stacey Schefllin, besting the
Georgia senior 7-6, 6-2 to put
Florida up 4-2 after singles.
"Stacey really fought hard,
Arendt just played about as good
as I've ever seen her play,” Wallace
said.
Arendt teamed with Julian Alex
ander to clinch the Gator victory at
No. 2 doubles with a 6-1, 6-1 vic
tory over Shawn McCarthy and
Tonya Bogdonas.
The co-championship marked
Georgia’s third ever SEC title and
second in a row.

1990 Diamond Dogs similar to Dogs in 1987
By ERIC GARBER
Sports Writer
Sooner or later the question will
be asked.
The Georgia baseball team’s 41-
10 record and first-place standing
in the SEC at 16-5 has given birth
to the inevitable comparison: How
does this team compare to the 1987
College World Series squad?
In many ways, the 1990 version
of the Diamond Dogs parallels the
group that made it all the way to
the College World Series before
losing to Arkansas and finishing
seventh in the country.
“Each of those teams were and
are successful in their own ways,”
said DH Brian Jester, who played
in 11 games in 1987. "I really don’t
think it is fair to compare the two
in terms of talent. However, the
one thing that is comparable is the
attitude on these teams. Now, like
then, these guys won’t let them
selves lose.”
As a team, Georgia’s first and
only world series squad hit .325
compared to this season’s .320.
“We compare pretty well with
that ’87 team,” said third baseman
Jeff Cooper, who played in 14
games as a freshman in 1987. “As
we did then, we are now able to hit
solidly up and down the line up.”
The one edge the ’87 team may
have had over this year’s team has
to do with pitching. The team three
years ago had three pitchers —
Derek Lilliquist, Cris Carpenter,
and Scott Broadfoot — that won at
least eight games. Lilliquist and
Carpenter now pitch in the majors.
Lately, this spring’s team has
not gotten quality performances
outside of Dave Fleming (9-2) and
Mike Rebhan (10-2). After a 4-0
start, Tom Zdanowicz, third in the
rotation, has lost his last three
starts.
However, Georgia assistant
coach Mike Hawkins, who went 1-2
as a pitcher on the world serieB
