®jp UaiUj (Ear Wwl 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. Many of the players said the special circum stances provid ed a little extra incentive, espe- FIELD HOCKEY Radford 1 UNC 6 dally coming off of a three-game 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. “I was thinking about the first time I ever ran across the field," Young class pushes UVa. to the brink BY NATE HUBBARD STAFF WRITER 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 pulled out the VOLLEYBALL Virginia 3 UNC 2 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- SOCCER FROM PAGE 12 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. ffilj?

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.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. Roommates ROOM IN CARRBORO NOVEMBER FREE S4OO/ month -r-1/3 utilities. Available now.

Sitting at sixth place in the con ference, UNC looks to face Duke.

Eskola added that the team tries to make sure the opposition never gets an easy point. “We always try to make it a point to have relentless' pursuit and go after every ball,” she said. After the strong effort, Sagula said he believes it won’t be long BOBCATS FROM PAGE 12 campaign. “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.

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 more Morgan Stengel and sopho more Emily Hoffman also com peted for UNC. After Durana’s 25:26.1 SKeffort, the Tar Heel men were paced by junior Alex Ray’s 25:33.6 time, which put him in 28th position, and senior Victor Ornelas’ 26:05.4 posting, good enough for 48th place. The rest of Carolina’s scor ing came from sophomore Jeremy Hyder, who finished 57th in 26:21.5, and Brock Baker, who fin ished 6lst in 26:25.1. Sophomore Tristram Thomas and fresh men Zack Dawson and Duncan FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 12 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 Volunteers The UNC Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma & Lung Biology is seeking Smokers, Non-Smokers, Asthmatics & Individuals with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Needed for Research Project The Department of Pediatrics and the Center for Environmental Medicine, Asthma, and lung Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill are conducting a research project to investigate the effects of environmental tobacco smoke on the organization of the cells lining the respiratory airways.

We held them to seven points that they scored on offense. It’s very disap pointing because we worked so damn hard this week.... We knew that we were the better team.
