3Jb? IrnUj ®ar 14M Kluegel Expects to Play Despite Sprained Ankle UNC midfielder Jena Kluegel sustained her injury in the 56th minute in the Tar Heels' victory against Connecticut. Sy T. Nolan Hayes Sports Editor • If Anson Dorrance was afraid, he wasn’t showing it The North Carolina women’s soccer coach had just learned that he might be without star midfielder Jena Kluegel for Friday’s NCAA semifinal match against Notre Dame. 1 The Tar Heels had already been playing without forward Susan Bush, who was lost for the season Oct. 25 with attorn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee. Could the Tar Heels actually win the national championship, their 16th in 19 years, without Kluegel and Bush? “I don’t know,” Dorrance said. “But I’m excited to see.” The good news for Dorrance, as of Sunday night, was that he probably won’t have to find out. Kluegel’s ankle sprain isn’t as severe as the team origi nally feared, and Kluegel expects to play in the final four this weekend. “It’s healing good,” Kluegel said. “It looks a lot better than I thought it would, so things look good for the weekend.” Kluegel sustained her injury in the 56th minute of UNC’s 3-0 victory against Connecticut on Friday after noon. She was away from the ball when she cut back to make a run. It was then that her right ankle rolled and she heard a-popping noise. She left the match with the Tar Heels holding a 1-0 lead and did not return. I Freshman Catherine Reddick substi tuted for Kluegel, setting off a mass shift ih the UNC lineup. Reddick entered the game as a defender and pushed up Danielle Borgman to a forward posi tipn. Anne Remy moved back to the midfield from her forward spot, taking over for Kluegel in the flank midfield. Borgman, who might be North Carolina’s fastest player, enjoyed her chance to try to score goals instead of prevent them. She earned an assist on UNC’s second goal after making a slid ing cross from die right comer. “When I’m thrown up top, all of this pressure is released off of me,” Borgman said. “I don’t have to worry that if I lose the ball - I’m still going to bust my butt to get back -but I’m not the last line of defense. I have a little bit of pressure released off of me, and it’s The Law Firm of DORRESTEIN & CRANE, LLP Is Pleased to Announce The Association of RANDY GRIFFIN i t i ii i 1 J Formerly of the Orange County District % """drw :/ \ T Attorney’s Office. / \ I / \ Mr. Griffin concentrates his practice •/ I / \ in the areas of traffic and criminal law I / \ and civil litigation. 3125 Shannon Rd., Suite 200, Durham, NC 27707 Phone: (919)960-9931 Fax: (919)403-8484 Make the Grade A discussion about grade inflation and the academic climate here at UNC-CH Monday, Nov. 27, 2000 KWI at 7 p.m. ITmlSa in Carroll Followed by desserts from Mama Dips!

I just love it” Borgman is an effective forward, but the Tar Heels are at their best with her in the back, Kluegel in the midfield and Remy up front. Few players in the nation attack opposing defenses with the tenacity that Kluegel does. She ranks second in the nation with 22 assists, a figure that is the fourth-best single-season total in UNC history. Her plan this week is to take it easy so that she’ll get the chance to add to that total. Kluegel has been icing her ankle and doing rehabilitation exercises since Saturday and will continue to do so. She said she probably won’t touch a soccer ball until Wednesday or Thursday. So far, so good. “That seems to be working because it looks good,” Kluegel said. “It’s not swollen, and it’s not black and blue. That’s a good sign.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

UNC mounted three good offensive attacks in the match’s first eight minutes before break ing through with 13 minutes, 13 seconds elapsed from the clock. Senior Kalli Kamholz launched a throw-in from the right side into the goal box, where Anne Remy shifted the ball over to Florance for the game’s first goal. Florance didn’t make solid contact with the ball, but UConn goalkeeper Maria Yatrakis never had a chance for a save because she was screened off on the play. “We did not create opportunities, and that first goal kind of killed us,” Tsantiris said. “We gave a up a very soft goal early on.” The Huskies never could recover, mosdy because they could not take care of the ball. The Tar Heels pursued at every position with the relentless pres sure for which they are known, and Connecticut couldn’t handle it Even in the final 15 minutes of the first half, when UNC’s intensity waned, the Huskies were too tentative to take advantage of it “They came at us, and we haven’t played a lot of teams that have pres sured us that much,” UConn senior for ward Jen Carlson said. “We panicked a little bit, and they capitalized on our mistakes.” That nonstop effort of the Tar Heels was never more evident than in the sec ond half, when they turned up the heat an extra notch. Junior Danielle Borgman, who moved to the front line after an injury to Jena Kluegel, helped lead the charge. Borgman’s husde was responsible for UNC’s second goal. Knocked off the ball deep in UConn territory, Borgman sprinted after it and saved it with a sliding cross before it rolled over the end line. The ball landed right on the foot of Alyssa Ramsey, who was stationed at the near post, and she redirect ed it to Florance for the goal at 60:26. Freshman defender Maggie UNC senior forward Meredith Florance scored a pair of goals in the last match of her career at Fetzer Field. Tomecka added UNC’s third goal when she won a ball in the midfield and blast ed a shot from 22 yards away into the upper left-hand comer of the net in the 74th minute. But the game, as many before it at Fetzer Field, had been decided long before then. Florance had made sure of that, scoring her team-leading 24th and 25th goals of the season. The Tar Heels compiled a 38-1 record at Fetzer Field during Florance’s four-year career. —TV =^^==L — == ' Interested in Working with Young Children and Families? Here's the major for you...
