The question is, "Can the UNC
women's soccer team win a fifth straight
NCAA championship?' The answer
depends on who you ask.
Like most coaches, head coach
Anson Dorrance is hopeful but won't
won't go so far as to predict another
championship season. He says he hopes
the team will simply receive a bid to
the NCAA championships. "WeVe lost
too much experience to put us in the
driver's seat," he says.
Some of the players speak more
confidently. Senior Senga Allan, one of
three returning starters, says this year's
team is going to be a lot stronger than
last year. "We look like underdogs
because of all the graduates leaving.
People are going to get a real shock,"
she says. "We are going to be stronger
than anybody expects us to be."
Fifth year senior Dori Kovanen
agrees with Allan. uWe have a strong
team. A lot of teams are underestimat
ing us and overestimating themselves,"
Kovanen says. "We're strong!"
Graduation took its toll last year,
taking seven players from the starting
line, many who were all-Americans and
members of the national team. Another
of last year's starters, ail-American
April Heinrichs, had knee surgery this
summer and is still a month away from
being match fit. That leaves only three
starters from last year who will be
playing in the first game.
Until Heinrichs is able to play, the
front line must be completely rebuilt.
Senior Betsy Johnson in the midfield
is the only returning starter in the front
six. "I guess you could say we've got
some holes to fill," Dorrance says.
In the backfield, only Stacey Enos
at left back and Allan at right back are
returning starters.
Of the freshmen, Dorrance says he's
been very happy with the early season
play of Tracy Bates and Wendy
Gebauer. "IVe been pleased with the
freshmen in general. With more expe
rience they're going to be a fine class,"
Dorrance says.
Despite the number of key players
who graduated, Dorrance says the team
has excellent depth in the midfield.
"And I think we have two of the best
marking defenders in the country in
Stacey Enos and Senga Allan."
Allan predicts that UNC won't score
as many goals this year because of the
rebuilt front line, "but we will certainly
keep the opposition from scoring. I am
not going to let anybody pass me, and
god help them if they try."

has to assert herself and nail down that
position," Dorrance says.
Kathleen O'Dell, who was backup
goalkeeper last year, is being challenged
by freshman Kasey Jones for that
position.
The team's first big test comes early.
Their first match will be Sept. 1 in
Chapel Hill against George Mason.
"We think George Mason is one of the
teams that will be challenging for the
national championship," Dorrance
says. "In this first game our interest is
to find out where we are weak."
With a six-year record of 99-5-1, the
Tar Heels obviously have been able to
overcome any weaknesses in the past,
but as women's soccer continues to
improve, the competition will grow
tougher. But the question won't be
answered until the NCAA finals in
November.

P.M. A. Positive Mental
Attitude. v
That's the philosophy adopted this
August by Anson Dorrance's men's
soccer team. The Tar Heels have a
unique blend of youthful enthusiasm
and playing experience entering the
1985 season.
Last year's team, also a very young
one, stumbled coming out of the
blocks, going 3-5 before rebounding
to finish the season with a 9-2-1
flurry. Dorrance is hoping the
second half of last season, including
the end of the year overtime win at
Duke, carries over to this year's
campaign.
"I cant wait to start," said Dor-.
ranee. "I'm really enjoying practice
and I like the players weVe got. I
thought we had a great second half
of the season, and hopefully it 11 carry
over."
North Carolina will miss the
services of four key players off last
year's squad. Goalkeeper Larry
Goldberg, who keyed the 1-0 win
over Duke in his last game at UNC,
graduated and three freshmen now
battle for his old position.
Chris Mumford, Brad Davis and
Daron Royer all come to UNC with
fine credentials, but there will be
some concern early in the. year.
"Obviously we're concerned, but one
of these freshmen should be able to"
step in and do the job," Dorrance
said.
Gone up front are former team
captain and All-ACC pick Billy
Hartman and Shawn Ritchie, who
transferred to Nevada-Las Vegas
over the summer. Together this pair
combined for 31 points.
Dorrance will be eyeing senior
Mark Devey, sophomore Tommy
Nicholson and Dave Smyth to
provide most of the scoring in the
first few matches. Smyth and Devey
led the Tar Heels in assists last year
and Nicholson has been impressive
in most of the pre-season practices.
The last big hole Dorrance is
looking to fill is the one left by the
departure of sweeper Kenny West.
Dorrance said that the loss of West,
who organized the UNC defense, is
just as big as losing Hartman and
Goldberg. Currently, Frank Gil
hooly is the one Dorrance thinks will
backbone the defense. 7
"He has to provide leadership for
us to have a successful season,"
Dorrance said. "He's a veteran and
he's playing in the position of
leadership." :
For his own part Gilhooly said,
"WeVe got a lot of younger players.
We want to keep it very positive.
(The three goalkeepers) are very new,
but they are all good athletes with
good credentials."
With youth still in abundance,
much like last year, Dorrance is
working early to prevent another
dismal start that seemed to put a
damper on No th Carolina's season
despite the gocd second half. Con
sistency, or th; lack of it, worries
the UNC coach.
"Last year we beat nationally
ranked teams like Philadelphia
Textile or South Carolina and lost
to some we shouldn't have lost to.
We are trying to prepare them as
best they can so it (inconsistency)
doesn't exist."
Several sophomores got plenty of
experience last year as freshmen.
Steve Dragisics, Reid Storch, Terry
Nelson and Nicholson all return to
important roles. These four all
played on this summer's Under 19
National Championship team. Dor
rance said the experience has shown
up so far in added confidence and
a commitment to playing soccer.
Senior Devey said that there's an
added maturity evident throughout
the squad.
"We are more stable, stronger and
much more united than last year,"
Devey said. "We are all making more
of an effort to make this season more
successful."
Another key area will be the play
of North Carolina's midfielders.
Junior John Doyle, sophomore
Mike Moltzon and Storch will be
counted on heavily.
North Carolina's season gets
under way September 1 with a home
match with Indiana State. The first
ACC contest brings powerful Clem
son to Chapel Hill on Sunday
September 15.
"The best thing about this team
is great chemistry," Dorrance said.
"The upperclassmen like the fresh
men and the freshmen like being
here. I'm really pleased with our
progress."

Seivold, Huber named academic All-Americas
College athletes are often called "student-athletes", but
unfortunately in these days that label too often leans more
toward athlete rather than student.
Two North Carolina students, however, exemplified the
term student-athlete as well as anyone.
Joey Seivold and Beth Huber were selected along with
121 other collegians this summer as members of the college
at-iarge academic all-America team, named by the College
Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Seivold, a star on the lacrosse team, was named to the
third team of the Men's University Division for his 3.803
grade point average in History. . ,.
Huber, a national champion women's soccer stalwart,
made the second team of the Women's University Division
for her 3.710 grade point average in Biology.
The at-large teams are composed of student-athletes in
sports other than football, men's basketball, women's
basketball, baseball, women's softball and women's
volleyball sports for which CoSIDA has separate
academic all-America teams.
Huber and Seivold represent half of the ACC's members,
as golfer Todd Anderson of Duke made the third team
in economics (3.500) and rifler Jody Coble of N.C. State
made the first team in animal science (4.000).
Did you know? .... University
of North Carolina football coach
Dick Crum ranks seventh in winning
percentage among active college
coaches in NCAA Division I. Crum
has compiled an overall record of 89-35-3
over his eleven seasons as coach
at Miami (Ohio) and at UNC for the
past sevenseasons. Crum trails such
coaching legends as Barry Switzer of
Oklahoma (.824), Tom Osborne of
Nebraska (.810) and Joe Paterno of
Penn State (.801). As coach of the
Tar Heels, Crum has a record of 55-25-2,
including a 4-1 record in post
