Seniors go out with a bang
BY GRAY CALDWELL
SENIOR WRITER
On a day filled with emotion, the
No. 8 North Carolina field hockey
team celebrated its seniors as the
team earned a victory in its last
regular-season game.
The Thr Heels (12-7,1-4 in ACC)
defeated the Radford Highlanders
6-1 Sunday Senior Day for the
team at Henry Stadium.

losing streak.
“We sure as heck didn’t want to
lose on Senior Day,” said senior co
captain Brooke Miller.
Miller and fellow seniors Ashley
Judge and Karen Mann were hon
ored before the game, and Miller
said emotions were running high.

Sometimes winning isn’t every
thing.
The North Carolina women’s
volleyball team suffered its second
consecutive loss Friday, but the
team’s mood was markedly more
positive after a gritty comeback
that fell just short.
Virginia (16-6,9-4 in the ACC)
looked as though it would have an
easy night after claiming the first
two games.
But the Tar
Heels (6-16, 4-
9) rallied before
the Cavaliers

deciding fifth game 15-13 for a 3-2
victory.
“I was proud of their effort over
all that they stayed with it,” coach
Joe Sagula said.
Individually, four Tar Heels
had banner nights, setting various
career highs.
Sophomore Brianna Eskola
and junior Ashley Board both set
career highs in digs with 39 and 21,
respectively.
Freshman Megan Owens led
the team with a career-high 20
kills and redshirt freshman Ingrid
Hanson-Tuntland also added a
career-high 15 kills along with an
outstanding .538 hitting percent-

started in place of Engen and
scored the game’s first goal on a
sniper-rifle strike from more than
25 yards out in the game’s 17th
minute. Senior Heather O’Reilly
crossed the ball to freshman Tobin
Heath on the left sideline, who in
turn fed Gilbert in the middle of
the field.
Her shot sailed over WFU goalie
Laura Morse’s head and generously
smacked off the crossbar and in.
“Tobin passed it to me,” Gilbert
said. “And she yells ‘turn,’ and then
she’s like ‘dribble,’ and she said
‘shoot’ I did everything she told me
to do, so I kind of give Tobin credit
for that goal, too.”
Gilbert was rewarded for scoring
in an odd way—Dorrance replaced
her with freshman Casey Nogueira.
Maybe Dorrance knew something
the crowd didn’t because Nogueira
made the game 2-0 less than 10
minutes after Gilbert’s goal.
The second half didn’t go much
better for Wake Forest, as Yael
Averbuch and Washington added
goals in the game’s 62nd and 79th
minutes, respectively.
Averbuch’s team-leading 11th
goal of the season came on a cross
from O’Reilly that was tipped
through the box by Elizabeth Guess
and found Averbuch’s foot in front
of an open net.

she said.
Mann said she caught herself
reminiscing as well, and she doesn’t
want it to end just yet
‘lt’s forcing me to think about the
real world, and I don’t want to do
that right now,” she said, laughing.
“I’m delighted with the team that
they were able to send the seniors
out in such fine fashion,” she said.
“All three of them have had tremen
dous careers they’ve been key
players for us their entire careers."
Even though the seniors were
the focus of the day, it was the
junior class that stole the spotlight
juniors Alii Tanner and Jesse
Gey each scored two goals.
Tanner started the scoring early,
notching her first goal only 1:14
into the game.
Tinner stole a Highlander pass in
the scoring circle and quickly flicked
the ball into the goal. She repeated
virtually the exact same play to score
the Tkr Heels’ sixth goal of the day.
“We like to say you create your
offense with your defense, and she
age.
“My confidence just keeps get
ting bigger and bigger,” Owens
said.
Although the Tar Heels were
not satisfied merely with making
the match close, Sagula said it was
important for his team to not get
swept.
“It was huge,” he said. “A team
has to get over a mental hump, not
just a physical one.
“Every time we get some wins it
just makes us feel like we’re okay,
we’re doing the right thing.”
As happy as Sagula was with
winning the third and fourth
games to extend the match, he was
equally disappointed with losing
a tight first game that was tied at
every point between 18 and 28.
Sagula called two quick time
outs at the end of the game in an
attempt to rally his team.
“You always want to win the first
game,” he said.
“I don’t like calling a lot of time
outs, but at the end you want to do
anything to upset the rhythm of the
opponent.”
The Tar Heels played with a lot
of hustle throughout the match
and showed a willingness to sac
rifice their bodies to keep points
alive.
Board nearly crashed into the
stands chasing down a ball; Owens
In her last career regular-season
home game, O’Reilly got her third
assist of the game the most she’s
had since a four-assist performance
in the 2004 NCAA Tournament
when her shot slipped through
Morse’s rain-soaked hands and
bounced right to Washington for
the rebound goal.
UNC goalie Anna Rodenbough
survived a number of good WFU
chances late in the game, but she
made every save and preserved the
shutout her 13th of the season.
Both O’Reilly and Dorrance said
they were extremely happy with
the team’s effort on Senior Night
despite all of the reasons this could
have been a let-down game.
“I remember waking up this
morning and looking at it outside
and one, I didn’t want to wake up
to go to class, and two, I said to
myself, ‘I can’t believe we have to
play in this tonight.’” O’Reilly said.
“But I think any competitive ath
lete, as the game approaches, you
have to put all the elements aside
and just make a decision that you
are going to compete.”
Dorrance called it a “very good
win,” and said, “Two starters down,
and to have that kind of separation
against an outstanding ACC team
is wonderful. Great way for us to
finish the regular season.”

did that,” Shelton said. “It was good
to see her finish like that.”
The seniors will get at least
one more chance to play at Henry
Stadium, though, as the Tar Heels
host the ACC Championship begin
ning Thursday.
“I think that’ll be a tremendous
help,” Miller said of the home field
advantage. “It’s the little things,
like being in our own locker room,
having Fever there, that are going
to help put us over the edge.”
As of press time, it was uncertain
who the Tar Heels will play when
the tournament opens Thursday,
but Shelton said all of the ACC is
stiff competition.
Sitting at sixth place in the con
ference, UNC looks to face Duke.
The official bracket will be
released today.
“I have a sneaking suspicion that
we’re going to surprise people at
the ACC tournament,” she said.

“Those are the things that make
a statement that say we’re going to

Eskola added that the team tries

“We always try to make it a point

“I just feel like I’ve gotten better,”
Williams said. “I think I really con
centrated on my physical strength
this year. Last season, I wasn’t as
strong as I could have been, as I
should’ve been. But this summer
I really worked on my weights. I
really changed my diet.”
Felton has made the transition
well to the NBA. He started 54
games for the Bobcats last season
and averaged 11.9 points and 5.6
assists. Felton started Friday’s pre
season game, and his signature speed
was on display as he dished out five
assists and scored four points. Like
Williams, Felton said he learned a lot
about the game last year.
“Nothing is as fast as it seems,”
Felton said. “It’s a slow-paced game
because everybody is just as quick,
stronger. Everybody got the same
skills you have. It’s the best of the
best.”
May got a loud applause from
the Smith Center crowd when he
checked in at the end of the first
quarter and responded by scoring
12 points in 18 minutes before foul
ing out in the fourth quarter.

Runners finish
strong at ACCs
FROM WIRE REPORTS
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA.
Led by sophomore Brianna
Felnagle’s llth-place finish on the
women’s side and senior Pablo
Durana’s 25th-place finish on the
men’s side, the North Carolina
women’s and men’s cross country
teams finished sixth and eighth,
respectively, at the ACC Cross
Country Championships held
Saturday in Charlottesville, Va.
The Carolina women were pow
ered at the front by All-ACC efforts
from both Felnagle and junior
Megan Kaltenbach. Felnagle cov
ered the 6K course in 21:36.1 to
lead the way, and Kaltenbach was
just behind in 21:45.9 to finish
14th.
Senior Cassie King’s 22:05.7
time put her in 21st position.
Laura Cummings, who placed
44th in 22:57.8, and Addie Bracy,
who placed 49th in 23:07.5, gave
the Tar Heels five top-50 finishers
and rounded out the scoring for
Carolina, which posted 138 points
on the day.
Senior Georgia Kloss, sopho

After Durana’s 25:26.1 SKeffort,
the Tar Heel men were paced by

yards. On the next snap, as pre
determined by the coaches, Dailey
spiked the ball to stop the clock at
25 seconds. And it was on third
down that Dailey threw his seventh
interception of the year and second
of the game.
“If we were gonna lose, lose that
way,” said Dailey, who finished 13-
for-19 for 156 yards. “Let the blame
be put on me rather than the team
because I wouldn’t want those guys
to feel that pain of what’s it like to
be the guy to always pull the trigger
and make a mistake.”
But it was mistakes that
plagued the Tar Heels all game.
UNC found itself down 7-0 after
its first possession of the game
when David Wooldridge’s punt
was blocked and returned for a
touchdown. And with the game
tied at 17 early in the fourth quar
ter, it was a UNC fumble that led
to the Demon Deacons (7-1, 3-
1) game-winning touchdown. It
required just one play after the
fumble recovery for quarterback
Riley Skinner to find Kenneth
Moore for a 39-yard touchdown
pass - his second score of the
day.
“It was a pass on the flat and I
reached out and grabbed it,” said
fullback Nick Starcevic, who had
the fumble. “And as soon as I
tucked it he grabbed it, I guess with
his left hand, and ripped it out. It
was a close play. I thought my knee
was down but obviously it wasn’t.”
Despite the costly turnovers, the
UNC offense moved the ball well,
gaining 370 total yards of offense
compared with WFU’s 289 by
rotating Dailey and Cam Sexton
at quarterback every two posses
sions.
A 13-play, 80-yard drive in the
first quarter was capped by a one
yard touchdown pass from Dailey
to Andre Barbour, a left tackle
turned tight end, to tie the game
at seven. And Sexton orchestrated
a nine-play, 72 yard drive that
resulted in a one-yard touchdown
run by McGill to tie the game at 14
with just under seven minutes left

“They had the first half 19 plays
