Stanford beats UGA 6-0
By RANOY WALKER
Sports Writer
Despite soundly defeating Georgia 6-0 Friday in
the quarterfinals of the NCAA Women’s Tennis Team
Championships in Gainesville, Fla., Stanford Univer
sity coach Frank Brennan talked nothing but praise
for coach JefT Wallace’s squad.
“Georgia is among the best coached, conditioned
and competitive teams we’ve played,” Brennan said.
‘They were not intimidated by us at all and played
tough down to the wire."
But while Georgia was not intimidated by the
Stanford squad, undefeated in its last 62 matches,
the strong play of the Cardinal overcame the
thoughts in the minds of the Bulldogs.
Only two of the six matches were competitve as
Shannan McCarthy extended defending NCAA sin
gles champ Sandra Birch 6-4, 7-5 at No. 1 singles,
while at No. 3 singles Caryn Moss stayed tight with
Debbie Graham, losing 6-4, 6-4.
Stanford went on to win their fifth straight NCAA
title with a 5-1 decision of Florida in Sunday’s final.

Georgia’s Shannan McCarthy was one of three
seeded players upset in the opening day action at the
NCAA Singles Cnampionship in Gainesville, Fla.
McCarthy, the No. 8 seed, fell to Eveline Hamers of
the University of Kansas in the second round 6-3, 3-6,
6-1.
Top-seeded phenomenon from Stanford University,
Meredith McGrath, was upset in the opening round
by Lupita Novelo of the University of Southern Cali
fornia 6-3, 6-3, while fourth-seeded Tricia Laux of
USC also lost to Carla Cossa of the University of
Texas 6-4, 6-2.
“I didn’t make as many mistakes as (McCarthy)
did," said Hamers, a native of the Netherlands. “She
wasn’t too aggressive and didn’t come to net too
much.”
Georgia’s Stncey Schefflin advanced into the round
of 16 with victories over Danielle Durak of the College
of William and Mary and Holly Danforth of the Uni
versity of Florida. Schefflin will play sixth-seeded
Debbie Graham today.

in the the second round. Moss fell to Lisa Green of
Stanford while Waldman was defeated by Jean-Marie
Lozano of the University of California, Berkeley.
Golf Dogs finish 4th in Miss.
From Sports Staff Reports
The No. 12 Golf Dogs finished
fourth in this past weekend’s SEC
Golf Championships in Jackson,
Miss. Golf Dog Paul Claxton fin
ished third in the individual stand
ings.
Claxton, a junior from Vidalia,
has now finished in the top three
two of the last three years in the
SECs. In 1988 as a freshman,
Claxton surprised everyone by
tying teammate Todd Thompson
for second.
That was the last year Georgia
captured the men’s team title. Be
hind the piny of Claxton and
Thompson, the Golf Dogs fired a
854 and bent the field by 18
strokes.
This year Florida and Tennessee
battled for the top honors — past
the last hole as a matter of fact.
Tennessee defeated the de
fending champion Gators on the
first hole of sudden death after the
two had tied at 866 after regula
tion. The championship is only the
second for Tennessee, while
Georgia has captured a conference
leading 21.
Claxton became the
fourth Dog in five years
to be named to the
first-team all
conference squad.
Individually, a Golf Dog has not
captured medalist honors since
Peter Persons did it in 1985. Before
Persons, there was a 15-year
drought between winners.
Despite the five-year drought,
Claxton became the fourth Dog in
the five years to be named to the
first-team all-conference squad.
Franklin Langham was named to
the second-team.
The Golf Dogs travel to Sa
vannah for NCAA Regional Qual
ifying May 24-26 on the same
course they competed on in the
Eagle Invitational. Should Georgia
qualify for the NCAAs, they would
be making an unprecedented ninth
straight appearance under conch
Dick Co pas.

After being diagnosed with mo
nonucleosis late last week, Georgia
senior Mike Morrison was cleared
to play in the NCAA Tennis
Championships this weekend at
Palm Springs, Calif.
Morrison’s diagnosis was de
scribed as “a mild case” by Georgia
assistant trainer Steve Bryant.
“He can play and go ahead with
his regular routine," Bryant said
after learning of the test results
Morrison took at St. Mary’s Hos
pital yesterday afternoon.
“We just have to watch his en
ergy level and make sure he is
well-hydrated,” he said.
“He can play and go

Assistant Trainer
Morrison went to the Gilbert
Health Center Thursday com
plaining of clogged ears and slug
gishness, and idler a blood test,
was diagnosed with mono. How
ever, tests taken at St. Mary’s yes
terday revealed the infectious
virus to be minor.
“I feel fine,” Morrison said. “I
feel like I’ve been raised from the
dead because everybody has been
saying that I’m dead. Everybody
was telling me I was sick, but I
didn’t feel sick.”
Bryant said Morrison’s condition
will be closely monitored in the hot
conditions at the Indian Wells de
sert resort in Palm Springs, the
site of the NCAA championships.
Georgia coach Manuel Diaz was
elated by the news but is still cau
tious.
“He’s not going to be 100 percent
but we expect him to play," Diaz
said.
Morrison’s play in singles and
doubles will be vital in Georgia’s
quest for a third NCAA title as the
Georgia Tech's Dennis Scott announced yesterday that he will
forgo his senior year and enter the 1990 NBA draft. The 6-8
shooting guard from Reston, Va., said the decision was
"tough," but added that "it was time to move on.” —
