Martin, who sat out the first five weeks of the season with an injured wrist, reinjured the same wrist diving for a ball to sustain a volley with UNC's Susie Black late in the first set of the match. Martin was able to complete the set winning 6-4, but was unable to continue in the second set. RIGHT NOW it's hard to tell how bad Laura is injured," Lady uamecock coach Jeff Kefalos said. "With the caliber of opponents we will be facing in the next few weeks we are going to need Laura very badly." The Lady Gamecocks were only able to win one victory from the Lady Tar Heels in singles competition when number two Cindy Kincaid defeated UNC's Lloyd Hatcher 0-6, 6-4,6-4. UNO then took the next three of four matches in straight sets recording victories over number three Deborah Cooper, number four Misfcy Malool and number six Cissie Melson. Number five Kathy Wheeler was defeated in three sets 4-6,6-2, 6-2 by the Lady Tar Heels' Janet Shands. IN DOUBLES ACTION the team of Malool and Wheeler recorded the second Lady Gamecock victory of the day winning over North Carolina's Hatcher and Susan Timberlake 6-4, 6-3.
