McCarthy loses bid to qualify
By RANDY WALKER
Sports Writer
Georgia junior Shawn McCarthy
failed in her bid to qualify for the
Riviera All-American Tennis
Championships Wednesday, losing
to Paloma Coilantes of Ole Miss 6-
1, 7-6 (8-6) in the final round of
main qualifying.
McCarthy, who held a 4-1 lead in
the second set, had a set point at 6-
6 in the tie-break, but double
faulted.
After playing a tentative first
set, the Alpharetta native began to
pick up the tempo and force the ac
tion.
"In the second set, I played more
aggressive, and came to net," Mc
Carthy said. "When I made her
(Collates) run, I hit the ball on the
rise, and that was effective."
After posting the 4-1 advantage,
McCarthy began to play tentative
again, allowing the freshman from
Peru to inch back into the set.
“I should have kept moving the
ball around and stayed aggres
sive,” McCarthy said. “I played
tentative again and hit my balls
shorter. I should have kept at
tacking.”
"Shawn did well to come back

Jeff Wallace said. "She just didn’t
stay aggressive enough in the
second set."
To advance to the finals of main
qualifying, McCarthy defeated
Linda Allred of Southern Cal and
Erica Adams of Purdue.
While Shawn McCarthy will not
be playing championship flight of
the the All-American, her twin
sister Shannan will be. Shannan,
ranked No. 6 by Volvo Tennis,
takes on Stephanie London of
Southern Cal in Thursday’s
opening round. Georgia’s Caryn
Moss, ranked No. 13 by Volvo
Tennis, plays Tonya Fuller of San
Diego. Defending NCAA Champion
Debbie Graham of Stanford is the
tournament’s top-seeded player.
In doubles, Shannan and Shawn
McCarthy will play top-seeded
Sandra Birch and Graham. The
Bulldog twins will be looking to
knock the top-ranked duo out of
the same tournament for the
second straight year. Last year,
Birch and Graham were upset in
the opening round of the All-
Ameican by Karen Bergan and
Jennifer Rojohn of Arizona State.

Mitchell: Play stuns coaches
By THERESA FLYNN
Sports Writer
Among the 1990 Georgia
freshman class, one pleasant sur
prise for the Bulldogs has been
the play of tight end Shannon
Mitcnelf.
Mitchell started his first game
for Georgia against Southern
Miss on Sept. 15 when senior
Chris Broom injured his throat.
Mitchell is currently fourth on
the team in receiving, with seven
catches for 73 yards — an av
erage of 10.4 yards per grab. His
longest reception of the year was
for 17 yards against East Caro
lina on Sept. 29.
According to tight end coach
Charles Whittemore, Mitchell
has been impressive since the be
ginning.
"He started off the first day of
practice with great effort. He’s
got great enthusiasm, and plays
tougn,” Whittemore said.
The 6-3, 230 pound Mitchell is
also a versatile player. At Alcoa
High School in Alcoa, Tenn., he
played both tight end and middle
linebacker. His senior year, he
Shannon Mitchell
had two interceptions, five sacks
and led his team with 101 total
tackles. In his last two years of
high school, he led Alcoa to a re
cord of 29-1.
Although he liked playing de
fense in high school, he says he
likes his current position on of
fense.
“On this level, I feel I can con
tribute better on the offensive
side of the ball,” Mitchell said.
As for blocking, Whittemore
feels that Mitchell needs time to
make the most of his untapped
capabilities.
“He has to make a lot of im
provements like all the tight ends
do,” Whittemore said. "He’s not a
finished product. He’s got a ways
to go, like they all do."
Adjusting to college football,
though, is not what Mitchell
thought it would be.
"It’s a little harder than I
thought," Mitchell said. "I’ve got
a lot more learning to do. I’m still
young. I’ve got a lot of time to
grow. The older players help out
a lot. They help pep me up when
I’m down.
This rebuilding season for the
Bulldogs has also been an adjust
ment for the Street and Smith
pre-season blue-chip All-Amer
ican.
"At first, it was hard. We’ve
lost more this year than I did in
high school,” Mitchell said. "My
parents tell me to keep a good
head on my shoulders. We’ve got
a chance to get better."
Hackley’s play speaks louder than her words
By LYA WODRASKA
Sports Writer
Volleyball captain Kristin
Hackley likes to let her actions
speak louder than her words.
"I’m not much of a talker on the
court," she said. “I try to lead with
my play instead."
Tne 5-8 senior from Endicott,
N.Y. will play outside hitter this
weekend as Georgia (18-7) travels
to take on Florida (10-11) and
Florida State (17-7) this weekend.
"Earlier this year I had hoped
she would have a more of a scream
and yell personality but it just isn’t
in Kristin’s personality,” Georgia
coach Jim lams said. “She is a
great leader, but I’ve realized
Kristin is better off leading with
the way she plays.”
“Her strength is that she is a
good solid performer in all areas,”
lams said. "She serves well, she’s
one of our best blockers, and she’s
unstoppable when she explodes as
a hitter."
Hackley, who started playing
volleyball with a local club when
‘I’m not much of a talker on the court. I try to
lead with my play instead.’

volleyball captain
she was in the eighth grade, almost
chose bowling over volleyball at
her high school.
“I almost joined the bowling
team because bowling is in my
family,” she said. “No one in mv
family plays volleyball. They all
live in bowling alleys. I decided to
get out of that so I tried out for the
volleyball team because it’s much
more fun.”
Hackley became a four-year
starter for Union Endicott High
School where she led her team to a
50-1 record her junior and senior
years and a regional title in 1986.
She was also a three-time All-Con
ference selection and was rated one
of the nation’s "Fabulous 50” re-

While in high school, Hackley
made time for her other favorite
hobby, softball. As a pitcher, she
led Union Endicott to two state
championships her junior and se
nior years.
“I love softball,” she said. “I al
most played softball in college. Vol
leyball was still just a side thing
for me. I’d really like to start
pitching again, but right now I
don’t have time for other hobbies.”
Hackley, a telecommunications
major, signed with the Bulldogs in
1987 ana made an immediate im
pact as a freshman playing in 90
games — more than any other
freshman on the team.
'There was an incredible differ
ence between high school and col
lege volleyball,” she said. “ I didn’t
play any club ball while in high
school and I was amazed at how
good everyone is in college. 1 really
had to work hard.”
During the 1989 season Hackley
averaged 2.27 kills per game and
started in the SEC Tournament.
She was named Academic All-SEC
the same year for her 3.44 GPA.
This year she is fourth on the
team in kills per game averaging
2.32 kills and second on the team
in aces with 44. She had her best
match of the season against
Clemson where she hammered the
Tiger defense for 18 kills.
