On a good team, the outside hitters should. The success of a good volleyball team depends on how good your outside hitters are, and our outside hitters were good tonight.” Amber Willey. A pulled hip flexor kept UNC starter Katie Galloway sidelined much of the weekend. Her replacement, Willey, had seen ac tion in only 20 of UNC’s 44 games before the Georgetown match. The Tar Heels barely missed a beat. Willey, a freshman, had four kills in each match, a total of 24 digs, and a team high five service aces against Auburn. “Amber came in and played well,” Sagula said. “She made some freshman mistakes, as they will. Butasawhole, she’s stepping her play up.” The UNC enthusiasm. Finally, enthu siasm and intensity keyed the Tar Heels throughout the two wins. Sagula said the team had talked about that before the Georgetown match. “We said we have to come out and play with more emotion,” he said. “We need some intensity and make something hap pen on defense. “We played real hard. And we made them play as hard as they could.” Freshmen - Graduate Students Welcome to Attend The Minority Career Fair October 6,1993, In the Great Hall 12:30-5:00 IN THE ARMY, NURSES AREN'T JUST IN DEMAND.

MANUEL SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR Asa redshirt freshman listed third on the depth chart, Marc Montoro didn’t figure to get too many snaps for North Carolina this season. But when Tar Heel tight end Greg DeLong crumpled to the Carter-Finley Stadium turf in the second quarter Satur day with a knee injury, Montoro’s play FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1 the State defense, giving the Tar Heels a 17-14 lead. Just 18 seconds had ticked off the clock. “That was a big momentum change for us,” Staniceksaid. “The kickoff return, too that set the tone for the whole second half. We just got so pumped up from the run by Curtis that we just kept it going. We didn’t want to lose it.” Johnson finished the game with 153 yards on 18 carries. He has 581 yards on the season, averaging 7.5 yards per carry. Two plays into State’s next drive, a hard hit from comerback Jimmy Hitchcock j arred the ball loose from Wolfpack tailback Gary Downs. Tackle Greg Black recov ered the fumble, and Tripp Pignetti kicked his second field goal of the day 1:45 later, giving UNC a 20-14 lead. And later in the third, State coughed the ball up on its own 32. Back-up QB Terry Harvey, who came into the game when starter Geoff Bender left with a pinched nerve, just flat-out dropped the ball. UNC linebacker Kerry Mock pounced on it. Seven plays later, Stanicek lobbed a three-yard pass to freshman tight end Marc Montoro. Montoro had replaced Greg DeLong, who left the game in the first quarter with a season-ending knee injury. It was Montoro’s first career catch, and it broke the Wolfpack’s back. Stanicek pitched to Leon Johnson (15 carries, 64 yards) for the two-point conver sion and with 2:10 left in the third, the Tar Heels were in command, 28-14. “I’m not sure we took it to them offen sively,” offensive coordinator Darrel Moody said moments after slapping fives with his defensive counterpart Carl Torbush. “I think you go back and evalu ate the film, the dominant team on the football field was our defense." North Carolina’s defense allowed just two first downs in the quarter. State scored its two touchdowns in its first three posses sions, one coming after Curtis Johnson fumbled the ball on UNC’s 22. N.C. State’s defense, meanwhile, sim ply could not stop Stanicek and the option. Yes, Stanicek played and played well. The junior quarterback, listed as question able after he bruised his shoulder in UNC’s 33-7 loss to Florida State last week, re placed Mike Thomas after the first series. Thomas left the game with tom ligaments in his ribs before he threw his first pass. Stanicek completed 12 of 17 passes for 96 yards and rushed eight times for 26 yards not his best day statistically. But he was the field leader, holding the ball until the last second and then flicking it to his tailback for a big gainer in the option. “He didn’tlookvery hurt to me,” O’Cain said. “He played very well. He’s an excel lent quarterback. He’s in control of his football team. He’s improved as much from last year to this season as any young man I’ve seen.” The UNC offense gained 169 total yards against State in 1990,271 in ’9l and 361 in ’92.

The Tar Heels led 20-14, and another touchdown would put the game firmly in UNC hands. Quarterback Jason Stanicek took the snap and rolled right, faking an option, and found a wide-open Montoro in the back of the end zone for the touchdown.

Henderson gained 46 yards on six carries. “We just ran right at them,” Stanicek said. “It was working, so they had to make some adjustments there. And that opened up the option game.” Henderson scored two touchdowns Sat urday, a one-yard ran to end the first quar ter and tie the score at 7 and a 18-yard run to finish out the scoring with 11:27 left in the game. The Tar Heels couldn’t get the inside run going at all against Florida State. On fourcarries against FSU, Henderson gained five yards—and the Seminoles shut down the Tar Heel option. But the Tar Heels weren’t dwelling on Florida State, where they were outscored 17-0 in another decisive third quarter. “The Florida State game was hyped up to be the big game, but I think this one was more important for us because we had to win,” Stanicek said. “Last week, we came in, it was so emotional, but things didn’t happen. But we just re-evaluated ourselves, our team and just came out ready to play this week.” Of the Tar Heels seven remaining oppo nents, five have losing records. The two teams above .500 Clemson (2-1) and SPORTS conversion sealed the win for UNC, For this reason, he came into the 1993 cappinganlß-pointthird-quarteroutburst. season listed behind all-conference “When I broke into the open, I just saw candidate DeLong and 6-4, 240-pounder that Jason had done a great job of getting Freddie Jones at the tight end spot, outside,"Montorosaid. “Alllhadtoworry DeLong’s injury, a tom anterior cruciate about was catching the ball, and Jason put ligament in his left knee, changes all that, it right in my hands.” The Orefield, Pa., junior caught a four- At 6-foot-4, Montoro, a Marietta, Ga., yard toss from Stanicek late in the second native, has good height for a tight end, but half at the State 13. “When I planted to cut his 215 pounds makeshim decidedly small back I just felt a pop,” he said, for the position’s blocking requirements. “It didn’t hurt or anything until I got Virginia (4-0) have yet to beat a team with a winning record. These numbers bode well for a strong finish. “Last year, we played our best football game of the season after we played Florida State,” Brown said. “I felt like today we learned a lot about how to handle the emotion in the third quarter, and I think our team matured some. We’ve started to play better against top-ranked football teams.” T 4 113 W.

Another year we weren’t very good. One year over here we turned the ball over too much. And last year was a great game. “The Streak is not an issue because there are streaks in every program. The thing I’m proud of is our football program got better today.” The Tar Heel program is better —thanks to triumphs like the 21-17 Peach Bowl win against Mississippi State, a3l -9 win against USC in Anaheim this season and lastyear’s back-to-back wins against Virginia and Georgia Tech. Now UNC has defeated N.C. State, that nemesis down the Inter state, and the Mack Brown Era may just have anew biggest win. “I’d put this win up there,” Harris said. “Each time we beat a Top 25 team on the road it’s great for the program. Beating State is even better because we’re ending the Streak, and it’s the first step to winning the state championship, which is one of our goals.” Defensive tackle Marcus Jones, who batted down two passes in the second half to end a State threat, said the rivalry made this win especially sweet. “ Definitely—this is for bragging rights, ” he said. “USC, they’re way out in Califor nia. Those guys in the area, we see them if we go on Franklin Street or something like that. We can bump into one another. But for the longest time, they had bragging rights.” The end of the Streak did not weigh as heavily on the minds of State players, or head coach Mike O’Cain. “It’s an important football game,” the first-year coach said. “Just because we didn’t win doesn’t mean it’s any less im portant. It’s an important game to us, our Do You Recognize This Symbol?

When the trainers checked me out they found a lot of movement in the knee. It’s a tom ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). I’m hoping to get a medical redshirt.” Montoro is confident he and Jones can fill DeLong’s shoes. “There is a lot of pressure to come in because Greg is a great tight end,” he said. “Wejustneedtogoout there and do what we practiced and I don’t think we’ll have any problems.” fans and our alumni. “Welost one football game. That doesn’t make our season. That’s what we told our players the sun’ll be out tomorrow and we’ve just gotta prepare for Clemson (next week). Wolfpack players walked back to their lockerroom in stunned silence after the final gun sounded, and were still stunned after the game. “I just don’t know what happened,” Wolfpack wide receiver Eddie Goines said. “It was real intense out there.” The intensity and the rivalry translated into two fights, one during the game and one postgame brawl between assistant coaches. UNC outside linebacker coach Donnie Thompson and State offensive coordina tor Ted Cain came to blows as players shook hands on the field and had to be separated. “There were a lot of extracurricular things going on,” Goines said. “A lot of talking and pushing. Every play somebody had something to say.” UNC fullback William Henderson didn’t think the intensity was out of the ordinary. “I don’tthinkitwas anything personal,” the junior said. “We’ll probably see each other tonight sometime and then there won’t be any other flare-ups. Basically, it was just the intensity of the game.” With all that was riding on the game, this style of play was not unexpected. For UNC, this game meant the end of the State Streak and a shot at the mythical state championship. “For us to have a good year we have to win on theroad, particularly in the league,” Brown said. “We have to go to Atlanta (to play Georgia Tech) and we have to go to Charlottesville (to face Virginia).” And to make the fans and alumni happy at North Carolina, you just have to beat State. 5
