Sports Notes . . .

The 107 points Virginia scored
against the Indians of William and
Mary in their last outing established
a University Hall record and was
the 14th time a Virginia team had
eclipsed the century mark since
joining the Atlantic Coast
Conference.

The previous high of 102 was
shared by two teams, Richmond
and Clemson, both of whom
defeated the Cavaliers.

Virginia soccer coach Jim
Stephens couldn't believe that the
Cavaliers were blanked on the ACC
All-Conference team that was
recently announced by Ibrahim
Ibrahim, Clemson head coach. The
team is chosen by a poll of the
conference soccer coaches and
correlated by Ibrahim.

Virginia won the title for the
second consecutive year, putting
together a 3-1 ACC mark and an
overall record of 8-2-1, also the best
finish in the conference.

Coach Stevens commented
tersely, "There seem to be two
kinds of soccer athletes in the ACC
- those who work hard and achieve
their goal and those who take all
the credit. Virginia plans to remain
in the first group - there is no
competition there."

Richard Lewis, who along with
Ian Faulconer took over the actual
coaching of the Cavaliers this past
fail because of an illness that forced
Stephens to the sidelines, had a two
word statement, "Patently
lunatic!"

But the Cavaliers weren't
completely ignored. Somehow they
were fortunate enough to place Jay
Conner, Ed Marks and Jay Ziehl on
the second team.

Runner-up Maryland placed five
on the All-ACC first team and
Clemson, who finished dead last,
placed three. North Carolina and
Duke were accorded one spot each.
