So far, the No. 18 Georgia men’s
golf team has stood tall amongst a
strong field at the SEC
Championships in St. Francisville,
La.
And they’re being led by two of
their least experienced players.
Georgia took the first round
lead by one over the Arkansas
Razorbacks on Sunday. The
Bulldogs shot a five-under-par 283
at The Bluffs Golf Course.
Georgia took the first
round lead by one over
the Razorbacks
Sunday. The Bulldogs
shot a five-under-par
283 at The Bluffs Golf
Course.
Five teams are within 10 shots
of Dick Copas’ squad, including
Arkansas at 284, Auburn at 285,
Alabama and host LSU at 290 and
defending champions Florida at
293.
Bulldog freshman Brian Slevin,
shooting a round of 68 (-4), also
held a one stroke advantage in the
individual race over Brian Craig of
Florida and Alabama’s David
Kirkpatrick. Junior Matt Street
tied for fourth place after carding a
two-under-par 70.
Both Slevin and Street are play
ing in their first SEC
Championship tournament.
Along with senior Bill Brown,
Slevin, an Arnold, Md. native, has
played in all 10 previous Georgia
tournaments this season and has
placed in the top 10 three times.
His scoring average in 73.97, third
on the team.
Slevin’s 68 Sunday was his low
est score for a round in 1992.
Street, from Carrollton, Ga, is
second in scoring at 73.44, playing
in nine events. He had only played
in three events in his first two sea
sons as a Bulldog.
Rounding out Georgia’s scores
are Brown’s even par 72, Neal
Hendee’s one-over-par 73 and Rob
Butler’s three-over-par 75.
The second-ranked women’s golf
team didn’t experience similar for
tunes in their first round effort
Monday at the SEC women’s golf
tournament at the Santa Maria
Golf Course in Baton Rouge, La.
The Lady Bulldogs are stuck in
fourth place in the team standings
with a total of 305 (+17), ten shots
behind first place LSU’s score of
295 (+7). The Lady Tigers are the
host team.
Beans Kelly’s group is only one
shot behind two teams for second
place, defending champions
Florida and South Carolina. Both
teams shot 304 (+16).
Individual scores for the Lady
Bulldogs are Sara Miley at 73 (+1),
Luciana Bemvenuti and Kelly
Kluska at 76 (+4), Vicki Goetze at
80 (+8) and Tina Patemostro at 83
(+11).
Georgia came into the SEC
Championships as a heavy fa
vorite, being the only top 20 team
in the tournament.

the governing body for world track and field upheld his sus

Webber hopeful about NCAA bid
Says team
must win at
least twice.
By ERIK SCHMIDT
Staff Writer
With the Diamond Dogs hold
ing the fifth-best record in the
conference, Coach Steve Webber
feels a strong showing in the up
coming SEC tournament could
ensure Georgia an NCAA bid.
“I would say we need at least
two wins," said Webber. “With
the strength of our schedule and

GEORGIA vs. THE FIELD
Following are game-by-game results of UGA vs. the
SEC tournament field. UGA finished third in the SEC
East with a 12-11 record and a 33-21 overall record.
Arkansas: Beat Dogs 1-0, 5-3
Auburn: Did not play
Florida: Beat Dogs 3-0, 54, 5-3
LSU: Lost to Dogs 9-1
Mississippi State: Beat Dogs 54
Lost to Dogs 8-6, 10-1
South Carolina: Lost to Dogs 54
Beat Dogs 8-3, 16-12
Vanderbilt: Beat Dogs 17-9, 2-1
Lost to Dogs 8-7
Record in SEC and overall record:
Arkansas: 10-13, 30-24; Auburn: 10-14, 30-
23; Florida: 16-8, 4016; LSU: 18-6, 43-13;
Mississippi State: 15-9, 37-18; Vanderbilt 11-
12, 29-22-1
the fact that we’re in the SEC, we
should be considered.”
The SEC tourney, which be
gins Wednesday at the
Superdome in New Orleans, La.,
is a double-elimination event fea
turing the top four teams from
the East and West divisions.
Georgia (12-11 SEC), the No. 3
seed from the East, will take on
Mississippi State (15-9), the No. 2
team in the West at 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday.
Georgia took two of three in
Starkville earlier this season.
"I think Georgia has a nice
ballclub with good players and a
good coach,” said MSU skipper
Ron Polk. *We played them dur
ing that bad stretch we had. We
just did not play very well."
Neither team played well last
weekend as Georgia lost two of
three against Vanderbilt while
Louisiana State swept MSU.
With that sweep, LSU clinched
the SEC West title and the top
seed in the tournament.
Georgia returned long-ipjured
starting pitcher Jim Musselwhite
to the lineup Sunday, and came
away with an 8-7 victory.
Starting ace Stan Payne con
tinued to miss action with an in
jury, and is listed as questionable
for the tournament.
Georgia has been plagued by
pitching ir\juries all season, forc
ing players like freshman Kenny
Hyatt and shortstop Blaise
Kozeniewski to take the mound.
Kozeniewski strained his right
arm while serving time on the hill
late in the year, but quickly re
turned to the lineup.
“Anytime you enter an eight
team tournament, it’s going to
take more pitching,” Webber said.
“With Musselwhite, hopefully
hell able to give us some more
innings. But it’s going to be tough
on everyone’s pitching.”
Mississippi State is not with
out its problems either, as starter
Jay Powell is suffering from a
nerve inflammation in his elbow
and is unsure of whether hell see
playing time in the Superdome.
B J. Wallace, the Bulldogs’ big
gun, was rocked in his last outing
on Saturday against LSU, as the
Tigers batted around at one point
during the game.
“We need a good outing from
B-J.,” said Polk. If we get that and
score a few runs, we’ll do okay.
“Well need timely hitting be
cause we don’t have a big-inning
ballclub."
Louisiana State, the top seed
in the tournament, Mississippi
State, Florida and South Carolina
all boast better records than
Georgia, and are probably as
sured of NCAA bids.
Should a team other than the
aforementioned four take the
SEC title, however, Georgia may
find itself watching the big dance
on television.
