The Metro Women's Tennis
Championships Saturday at
USC's Maxcy Gregg Tennis
Center were supposed to comc
down to two top teams: Florida
State and USC. They did.
The championship also was
supposed to be fiercely contested.
Again, there were no surprises.
^ Behind sophomore Margaret
O'Grady's dramatic 3-6, 6-2, 6-2
win, the Lady Gamecocks
squeezed out a 5-4 win against the
Lady Scminolcs to retain their
Metro Conference title.
USC head coach Arlo Elkins
said before the match his team
would have to "have good singles
performances to do what we have
to do."
O'Grady, Rita Winebarger and
a Lisa Winsor provided just that.
w vvinebarger and Winsor posted
6-2, 6-0, 6-4, 6-4 wins,
respectively.
O'Grady struggled early, and
after losing the first set 3-6 to
FSU senior Jenny Cerino, she
recovered to take the next two
sets and the victory.
The win put USC ahead in the
match 3-2, but the Lady
Seminoles fought back.
FSU senior Claudia Gaughf
_ started with a 6-4 first-set win
9 against USC's Diane Commons.

the second set 5-2, needing only
one point to force a third,
deciding set.
Gaughf, however, won the
next three games to tie the set at
five. Commons then won the goahead
game, but Gaughf didn't
give up, winning the final two
games to come away with the victory.
The singles were over, and
the score was tied at three.
USC, which reached the finals
of the tournament by disposing
of Louisville and Cincinnati by
9-0 scores, needed two doubles
victories to retain its title. Once
again, the Lady Gamecocks
responded.
After the Lady Seminoles won

the score at five with Winsor and
Winebarger's 6-3, 6-4 victory
against Kim Temples and
Christine Wood. Then it was up
to Jill Hausler and Ashley
Thomason to put away FSU's
Cerino and Kirsten Turk for the
title.
Hausler and Thomason won
the duel in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5.
"I think the turning point was
when Margaret O'Grady was able
to come back after losing the first
set," said Elkins, whose team
finished the season 13-13.

gutsy effort. She's done that all

The men's tennis team cruised
to its second consecutive Metro
Conference championship Saturday
at USC's Sam Daniel Tennis
Center.
The Gamecocks, led by
sophomore Jan Sandberg, took
five of six singles titles and all
three doubles championships.
Senior Richard Ashby, the other
singles player, won his consolation
round title.
USC scorcd 52 points to win
the competition; second-place
Memphis State had 14 points.
The No. 1 seeds from each
Metro team faced each other in
tournament-style competition to
earn points. The second- through
sixth-seeded singles and the top

in this manner.
Sandberg was voted Metro
Conference Tournament
Outstanding Player, losing only
one set in taking both the No. 1
singles and doubles titles.
Head coach Kent DeMars said
he thought the nationally 12ihranked
Gamecocks were the
favorites going into the tournament,
but winning 26 of the 27
overall matches they played was
"pretty unusual."
"1 thought if we played to our
capabilities, we should win," he
said. "The home-court advantage
might have been the difference
in doing that well."

In doubles action, SandbergAshby,
Delsini-Barker and Sy
with freshman Steve Longley had
tougher matches, but still won
titles.
Sandberg, a second-place
finisher in No. I singles and
doubles last year, took revenge
Dy beating the same players he
lost to in 1985 for this year's
titles.
"Jan had no (unforced) errors
in the first set, which is
something I don't think I've ever
seen before," DeMars said, referring
to Sandberg's nearly flawless
6-0, 6-2 singles title match.
Florida State, last year's
runner-up, lost its top three
singles seeds to graduation and
slipped to fourth place. DeMars
said upstart Louisville, this year's
third place team, surprised him
when the Cardinals gave USC
strong competition.
"Even though we beat them,
they did a lot better than anticipated,"
he said.
DeMars said USC now must
wait and hope for an at-large bid
