CLEMSON, S,C,--The Clemson swimming and diving teams were defeated by ACC rival and nationally-ranked North Carolina this afternoon at McHugh Natatorium. The women's team fell to 3-3 overall and 0-2 in the ACC while the men's team fell to 4-2 overall and 1-2 in the conference.

The seventh-ranked North Carolina women's team (5-1, 2-0 ACC) won nine of the 13 contested events and set two pool records to capture the 153-90 victory over the Tigers. Erika Acuff set a pool record in the 200 IM with a time of 2:02.23, breaking the record set in 1980 by former UNC swimmer Gayle Hegel. Katie Hathaway set the other pool record for the Tar Heels with a time of 2:16.88 in the 200 breast, breaking the old record set by Alabama's Katherine Rhodes in 1993. For Clemson, Kate Walker won the 200 back in 2:04.82. Emily Hustead won the 500 free in 5:02.21 and Betsy Potter won the three meter diving event with a score of 277.35. The 400 free relay team of Leslie Anderson, Caroline Peterson, Patty Hider and Nina Douglas won that event with a time of 3:30.33. Acuff led the Tar Heels' overall effort by winning two events--the 200 fly and the 100 free.

The 14th-ranked Tar Heel men's team (4-1, 2-0 ACC) won 11 of 13 events and set a pool record to defeat the Tigers 164-79. The North Carolina 200 medley relay team posted a time of 1:32.07 to break the record set by Clemson's relay team in 1999. Will Rogers was a dual winner for Clemson, claiming the 50 free (21.04) and the 100 free (46.92). For Carolina, junior Chris Helin (200 IM, 200 Back), sophomore Stephen Krebs (1, 3 meter diving) and freshman Yuri Suguiyama (200, 500 free) were all two-event winners.

North Carolina's 14th-ranked men travel to Charlottesville, Va. next Saturday to meet the 11th-ranked Cavaliers at 1 p.m. The seventh-ranked UNC women's team will swim next Saturday at #11 Virginia in a meet that starts at 4 p.m.
