Sell defeats teammate, wins tennis singles championship
Bobby Mariencheck lost the singles championship to his teammate, Mike Sell.
By JEFF ROBERTSON
Staff Writer
Georgia’s Mike Sell defeated
his Bulldog teammate Bobby
Mariencheck 6-3, 6-1 Tuesday in
the finals of the Southern
Collegiate Tennis
Championships.
Sell took advantage of
Mariencheck’s numerous un
forced errors and won nearly ev
ery key point to win the champi
onship.
The sophomore, who is ranked
17th nationally in the ITA pre
season poll, broke Mariencheck at
love in the sixth game of the first
set to go up 4-2 and made the
break hold up for a 6-3 win.
Mariencheck began to unravel
as Sell broke his serve once again
to open the second set. Sell
jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the
second and clinched the champi
onship when Mariencheck double-
faulted on match point.
“I had several game points,”
said Mariencheck. “But he was
just better on those points.”
Mariencheck, ranked 18th by
the ITA, struggled with his serve
all afternoon and failed to break
Sell even once.
“I was having problems with
toss on my serve because of the
wind," he said. “Of course the con
ditions were the same for him.”
The match offered an interest
ing contrast in styles as
Mariencheck rushed the net
throughout, while Sell preferred
to stay on the baseline and go for
passing shots and lobs despite the
windy conditions. His strategy
paid off as Mariencheck was left
diving for bullets down the line
and watching lobs sail over his
head.
“Mike can hit (the lob) better
than probably anybody else in the
country,” Mariencheck said. “Of
course I knew that coming in. It
wasn’t a surprise.”
Sell credited both the lob and
his return of serve for his victory.
“I returned well, I think,” he
said. “I didn’t use the lob as much
as I would’ve because of the wind,
but I thought I used it effectively.
Both players said that playing
each other mude the match more
difficult and that they would have
preferred not to.
“I hate playing my teammate,"
said Sell. “I mean, you’re out
there practicing with him every
day. It affects you mentally.”
“It’s always tougher when
you’re playing a teammate,”
Mariencheck said.
The fact that the final was an
all-Georgia matchup made for a
very friendly tone. From the be
ginning of the first set shouts of
“Good shot Mike” and “Great vol
ley Bobby” echoed through Henry
Feild Stadium.
The contest was by no means
the first time such a matchup has
occurred, though. This year’s fi
nal marks the fifth time in the 25-
year history of the Southern
Collegiates that the champi
onship was fought for by two
Bulldogs. It happened most re
cently when A1 Parker defeated
Stephen Enochs in 1987.
Sell, Mariencheck, and the rest
of the Netters will be traveling to
Austin, Texas next week for the
Volvo Tennis Championships,
which begin Oct. 15.
Georgia Southern game a no-win situation
By JJ. COOPER
Staff Writer
According to Georgia head coach
Ray Goff, Saturday’s home game
against the Georgia Southern
Eagles (3-1) is a no-win situation.
“If you win, they say you should
have,” Goff said. “If you lose, they
run you off a’ la Jack Crowe.”
Also, according to Goff, if the
No. 12 Bulldogs (4-1) win by too
much they will be accused of run
ning up the score. If they win by
too little, they will be blamed for
not winning by enough points.
Because of last year’s NCAA
ruling, a team cannot secure a bowl
berth without six 1-A wins. A vic
tory against Georgia Southern, a 1-
AA school, does not count towards
Georgia’s victories for a bowl berth.
“(That rule) almost cost us a
chance at a bowl game last year,”
GofT said. “It does not count as a
victory. This game was scheduled
before that, but we will be very
hesitant to schedule anyone of that
nature because of that.”
Therefore, Goff will be happy if
the Georgia-Georgia Southern se
ries begins, and ends, on Saturday.
But there are a couple of advan
tages to playing the Eagles.
First and foremost, the
Bulldogs, who face three option
teams in the next three weeks, will
be playing a team that is experi
enced at handling the option.
Georgia has already played two
teams who used the option. But un
like Cal-State Fullerton, who just
installed the option this fall, and
Ole Miss, which uses the option as

only a part of its attack, Georgia
Southern’s entire offense is based
around the Flexbone, as it has been
for 10 years.
Georgia is ranked
11th in the nation in
defense and an
amazing first in the
nation in passing
defense.
In past years, Georgia has had
problems handling option attacks,
and teams such as Clemson and
Ole Miss have given Georgia fits.
But with the additional speed that
Georgia has added to its defense
this year, the Bulldogs have de
fended against option attacks bet
ter this season. The game against
the Eagles will help the Bulldogs
chart their progress.
Heading into the game, the
Bulldog defense has exceeded all
expectations. In the preseason, the
defense was thought to be
Georgia’s main weakness. Now,
Georgia is ranked 11th in the na
tion in total defense and an amaz
ing first in the nation in passing
defense.
“I think that’s a little deceiving,”
GofT said. “We have only faced one
team that throws the ball a lot, in
Tennessee. But at the same time,
Chris Wilson and A1 Jackson have
played above what anybody
thought they would.
“But the biggest addition is
Greg Tremble,” GofT added. “If
there is anybody who deserves All-
SEC consideration, it’s Greg
Tremble. He’s the glue that makes
us stick together.”
The offense is also ranked
among the top in the nation.
Georgia is fifth overall in total of
fense, averaging 483.80 yards per
game. The Bulldogs are seventh in
the nation in scoring offense.
The key to the Bulldogs’ offense
continue to be scatback Garrison
Hearst. Hearst is second in the na
tion in scoring offense with 13.2
points per game. First place
Marshall Faulk of San Diego St.
averages 13.5 points per game.
Hearst is also ranked sixth in the
nation in rushing yards per game
with 128.4.
Quarterback Eric Zeier is 11th
in the nation in passing efficiency,
while Andre Hastings is 41st in the
nation in receiving yards per game.
The Bulldogs appear to be head
ing into the Georgia Southern
game in good health.
Outside linebacker Maurice
Harrell should return this week
from a knee injury. Strong safety
Mike Jones (shoulder) also could
return.
