Tar Heels easily
defeat Wolfpack
Small crowd turns out for 9th ACC win
BY MARY DUBY
ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
The presidential election loudly
raged oh national television, but
Carmichael Auditorium was rela
tively quiet as the North Carolina
volleyball team defeated N.C. State
3-0.
The ’Pack has not won an ACC
match since 2001.
“You can’t draw as much from
them,” said libero Caroline deß
oeck. “We didn’t have as big of a
crowd, and the crowd wasn’t as
into it as they
normally are, so
we really have to
look inside and
draw stuff from
ourselves.”

N.C. State 0

Despite the quiet crowd of 305,
the Tar Heels easily routed the
Wolfpack 30-20, 30-17, 30-18 on
Ihesday and recorded their fourth
straight 3-0 sweep.
At times UNC (16-11,9-4 in the
ACC) looked as if it was going for
a leisurely jog the team did not
have to earn a large number of its
points. N.C. State committed 23
errors in the match.
“You’re getting points, but you’re
not really earning them,” said co
captain Katie Wright. “It’s hard
to really focus and start earning
points in a match like this, but I
feel like as the match progressed
we became more intense and more
focused.”
The ’Pack (10-17, 0-13) gave
UNC the first two points of the
match by hitting the ball into the
net. The Tar Heels led by as much
as 13 en route to the 30-20 game
one win.
In game two, the Tar Heels
earned more points because of their
offensive effort, tallying 17 kills as a
team. They recorded a hitting per
centage of .500 in the game.
Taking advantage of a less-
Media should take responsibility
North Carolina wide receiv
er Jesse Holley strutted
into Saturday’s postgame
, press conference shouting at
the top of his lungs like he was
Muhammad Ali.
Just a few minutes earlier,
the super-talkative loudmouth
had been stunned into silence by
Connor Barth’s game-winning
field goal that gave the Tar Heels a
shocking 31-28 win against Miami.
But when Holley marched into
the lounge, he was on a vendetta,
singling out ESPN’s Lee Corso
and Kirk Herbstreit, who had
been saying all week that the
Tar Heels’ chances of pulling the
upset were slightly less than none.
Holley’s rant didn’t end with
ESPN, though.
“We believed when all the odds
were against us. They was Ivan
Drago, we was Rocky, everybody
said we didn’t have a chance,”
Holley shouted to the mass of
media members that had gathered
around him. “Forty-one-10, some
of you wrote, whoever does the
DTH. You said 41-10,1 read it.”
I was called out. There was
only one thing for me to do.
“Actually,” I responded while
rasing my hand, “it was 48-10.”
I had been wrong. I wasn’t
ashamed that I was, sa I admitted
as much.
Clearly, I wasn’t alone.
The Daily Tar Heel’s banner
headline Monday morning read
simply, “Unbelievable.”
Not as many people would
have stormed the field and tore

intense match, UNC tried some
new plays on offense, including
combination plays where the right
side and middle hitters crossed,
Wright said.
“In game one we stunk at it, in
trying to run some play sets,” said
UNC coach Joe Sagula. “We were
not connecting. But if we do get it,
I think that will help.”
Even though the team struggled
because of miscommunication on
the new plays, UNC still recorded
a season-high hitting percentage of
.375 for the match.
Wright led the team with 17 kills
and a .577 hitting percentage, and
outside hitter Molly Pyles added 15
kills.
“I owe it all to the setter and
passers,” Wright said. “They just
put the ball right in my hands
tonight.”
The Wolfpack put up more of a
fight in game three and led by two
points at 7-5. But the Tar Heels
went on a 6-0 run and put the
game away 30-18.
Deßoeck led UNC on defense
with 16 digs. Pyles added eight digs
to move into a tie for third on the
UNC career-dig list with 1,258.
Thirteen Tar Heels saw playing
time, including freshman Christie
Clark, who had a strong game with
seven kills on nine attempts.
UNC’s winning streak comes at
an opportune time, and the team
hopes to build confidence going
into the ACC and possibly the
NCAA Tournaments.
“To build momentum at the
end of the year is really good for
the team,” Sagula said. “We’re not
thinking about what we’ve done in
the past. We’re thinking about the
next match. All we want to do is
keep winning the next match.”

BLANK EXPRESSION
down both goal posts if it wasn’t a
stunning, unexpected result, and
people wouldn’t be entertaining
the argument that Saturday’s vic
tory was the biggest win in the
program’s history if they weren’t.
But none of those people had
their names next to the line,
“Miami 48, North Carolina 10.”
So it’s refreshing to see the
likes of Corso and Herbstreit
eating their words if not their
pencils immediately fol
lowing Saturday’s game, even
if Herbstreit is still convinced
that senior strong safety Gerald
Sensabaugh is a freshman.
Unfortunately, some of their
colleagues refuse to do that.
Instead of admitting they got
it wrong, ESPN’s Mark May and
Trev Alberts tried to make excuses
for Miami’s defeat.
But there were no excuses that
needed to be made. •
For one night, UNC was better
than Miami. Plain and simple.

Few lines, shuttles aid voters
BY KATIE HOFFMANN
AND CHARLOTTE MURPHY
STAFF WRITERS
The prospect of voters spend
ing hours waiting in line failed to
materialize Tuesday, as many UNC
students found voting surprisingly
easy at Orange County precincts.
Precinct volunteers said that
with the exception of early-morning
crowds, lines were relatively short.
“We had a line out to the parking
lot at 6:30 a.m.,” said Olga Eyre, a
Lincoln precinct volunteer. “After
that it has just been a steady flow.”
Many students said the state’s
early-voting program contributed
to the ease of ’lhesday’s process.
“I expected voting to take several
hours, but I only waited five or 10
minutes for the shuttle,” said fresh
Justice praised for defensive effort

While Chad Scott and Connor
Barth earned much of the atten
tion after North Carolina’s stun
ning upset of Miami, the Tar Heels’
defense played an equal or greater
role in the victory.
Yes, the same unit that surren
dered a school record of 669 yards
against Utah on Oct. 16.
Yes, the same unit that was
ranked 116th out of 117 teams in
the country in 2003 and holds that
same ranking in 2004.
Yes, the same unit that lost its
signal caller, middle linebacker
Fred Sparkman, to an indefinite
suspension three weeks ago.
But that same unit kept the
Hurricane offense in check
Saturday, allowing 77 rushing
yards, the fewest given up by the
Tar Heels since their 52-17 win
against Duke on Nov. 17,2001.
“It was really good to see us, for
the first time, stop the run some,”
said UNC coach John Bunting at
his Ihesday press conference. “That
was exciting to see, and hopefully
we can build on that, because we’ll
lead of Corso and Herbstreit,
but that of the coach who proved
them wrong.
It was nearly a year ago that
UNC coach John Bunting was
blasted for what Corso and
Herbstreit are being lauded for
calling himself out.
Last year, the Tar Heels lost to
Duke for the first time since 1989-
Just as Saturday’s win ranks
among the greatest victories in
program history, that loss was
among the worst.
After the Duke game, Bunting
followed the maxim that players
get credit for the win and coaches
get blamed for the loss.
“Give me dl the credit for not
having the football team ready to
play in the first half,” he said.
Many fans wanted Bunting
fired simply for losing to the Blue
Devils, and there were those who
thought a pink slip should’ve been
awaiting him as he exited the
press conference, based on those
comments alone.
But Bunting did exactly what
he should’ve done. He jumped
in front of the bullet and faulted
himself before anyone could heap
the blame on his players.
Bunting made a stand by tak
ing the fall. It would be nice to see
more media members do the same.

man Jessi Kemp. “It only took 30
minutes for the whole thing.”
Students said Vote Carolina,
student government’s voter initia
tive, also contributed to the ease of
the process by providing transpor
tation to four of the five campus
precincts.
Vote Carolina recruited drivers
and other volunteers from campus
organizations.
“This is just my way of helping
out democracy,” said senior John
Troutman, a member of Young
Democrats who volunteered to
drive voters.
Troutman said that of the 25
or 30 students he shuttled during
his shift, a vast majority were first
time voters.
Junior Leah Kimbrell, a first
certainly need to.”
Bunting said the coaches named
Doug Justice the defensive MVP
of the game. Justice made his first
start of the year Saturday, totaling
five tackles and earning another
starting spot for this Saturday’s
game against No. 18 Virginia Tech
at Kenan Stadium.
“He’s a very positive force on our
defense,” Bunting saidf“He’d tell
you he’s limited somewhat speed
wise and size-wise, but he’s very,
very bright. ... He understands
this game extremely well, and he’s
a coach on the field.”

time voter, said Vote Carolina’s
efforts to increase awareness of
the election process led to a high
turnout of student voters.
“They have made a good effort to
get people out there registered and
aware of the issues,” she said.
Many of these young voters
said they were hesitant about vot
ing early because they didn’t fully
understand the issues.
“I didn’t vote early because I
wanted to read up on the candi
dates,” said medical student Liz
Frye. “I didn’t do my work like a
good voter.”
Of the students voting today,
many said they tried to vote early
but encountered obstacles in the
registration process.
One such student was sopho
that have haunted the Tar Heels
the past couple of years.
The Hurricanes’ longest dash of
the game was a 14-yard run by Tyrone
Moss. Miami’s lack of ground-game
success forced Hurricanes’ coach
Larry Coker to rely more heavily on
a passing attack.
“It was great because they’d run
a play, and we’d stop them, and
then they’d get a little frantic,”
Justice said. “That was exciting for
us because we stopped the run, and
they wouldn’t try it again because
we had stopped it so much.”

Problems in the system prevent
ed her from voting early, and so she
was out again Thesday.
“It was pretty convenient until I
got a letter saying I had to mail in a
photo copy of my ID,” she said.
Despite some obstacles encoun
tered during the election process,
students remained optimistic that
their votes will count.

running back Jacque Lewis did not
receive a cany in the game because
of a back injury.
That will likely change for this
week’s tilt against Virginia Tech, as
Bunting said that Lewis is practic

Scott, meanwhile, was limited
in practice Monday, and Ronnie
McGill hasn’t practiced since re
aggravating his ankle on Oct. 16.
“I don’t know if (McGill’s) going
