6The Daily Tar HeelMonday, September 16, 1985 men.. &.0ceir- lesitirm O u A2(D V o-l . By JAMES SUROWIECKI Staff Writer doing into Sundays game with the defending national champion Clcmson Tigers, the men's soccer team was brimming with confidence after a resounding victory Wednesday over Atlantic Christian that had upped its record to 4-0. But thanks to Gary Conner and the rest of the Clemson team, the picture isn't nearly so bright today for the Tar Heels. Led by Conner, a junior striker who had a hat trick, the Tigers tho roughly outplayed the young UNC team and left Fetzer Field a burning ruin after an extremely convincing 5-0 victory. When the game began, though, it was the Tar Heels who were on fire. Motivated no doubt by the chance of knocking off the No. 1 team in the nation, UNC dominated the first ten minutes of play with a furious offensive attack that kept Clemson pinned in its own zone. But the veteran Tigers kept their cool and denied the Tar Heels time and again. Twice in the first five minutes, Terry Nelson was able to wind and fire hard shots, and twice goalie Chris Dudley stopped him cold. The Tar Heel fire soon burned itself out, though, as Clemson refused to break down and began to assert it offensively. Tiger coach I.M. Ibrahim said of the early minutes, "Primarily their tempo was predictable, and because it was a fast, one-speed game, we were able to deflect their attack and defeat them." UNC coach Anson Dorrance pointed to the veteran nature of the Clemson team as crucial to the Tiger success in repelling the Tar Heels' initial attacks. "It's inevitable that the team that's the underdog is going to come out with a lot more enthusiasm," he said. "But the Clemson players showed their maturity by withstanding those early thrusts and surges and by converting the chances they were getting." The Tigers converted their first good chance at 15:50 on a play which Clemson executed brilliantly all day long, the corner kick. Dick Landgren sent the kick across the crease where it was headed backward by Bruce Murray. And, then, out of nowhere, Conner went high above everybody to head it over UNC goalie Brad Davis and into the net. A mere four minutes later, at 19:33, PERSONALIZED WOMEN'S HEALTHCARE Our privata practice offers confidential care including: Birth Control Free Pregnancy Tests Relief of Menstrual Cmmps Abortion (to 20 weeks) Gynecology Breast Evaluation PMS Evaluation and Treatment Clemson made good on another oppor tunity, once again off of a corner kick. The ball was booted right into the slot, and Davis dived out of the net to deflect the ball away. Unfortunately for Davis, the ball went right to Tiger Paul Carollo. Carollo paused and then fired a shot which UNC midfielder Dave Smyth got in front of and knocked away. But the rebound came right to Paul Rutensis, who unleashed a shot which put Clemson ahead 2-0. Somewhat deflated by that second goal, the Tar Heels nevertheless kept the pressure on, and with 21 minutes left in the half Megaloudis came down the left side of the field and sent a long pass to Donald Cogsville, who chipped a centering pass to Tommy Nicholson. Nicholson, in one of the few defensive breakdowns Clemson had all game long, was left alone in front and let a shot go that Dudley had no chance of getting. The shot had all the makings of a goal, but the crossbar had other ideas. It deflected the ball back in front, and Cogsville, shooting in from the point, fired one high over the goal. Ten minutes later, at 35:03, Conner got his second goal of the game when he picked up a loose ball in front of the net and ripped it past Davis. 3-0, Clemson. The second half began much as the first did, with the Tar Heels putting on the pressure and Clemson keeping the ball out of the net. But once again the Tigers counterattacked effectively. Ten minutes into the half, Conner missed a glorious chance when, after juking Davis down, he chipped a shot wide of an empty net that his mother could have scored into. No matter. Ten minutes after Smyth knocked one off the post, Carollo sent a pass in front to Landgren, who headed it to Conner. The striker leaped and headed the ball just over Davis out stretched hand for the hat trick and a 4-0 lead. For all intents and purposes, the game was all over. With ten minutes to go the play became a little choppy as the frustrations of the game built up and Cogsville and Pete Stebbins were issued yellow cards. Then, at 83:18, Bruce Murray, on a mad dash down the right side, left two UNC defenders in his wake and bounced a shot off the TRIANGLE WOMEN'S HEALTH CENTER 109 Conner Dr, Suite 2202 Chapel Hill, NC 042-091 1 or 042-0024 A-New.

The Tar Heels kept on the offensive and bombarded the UCF goal with shots, outshooting UCF 25-6. It was only the brilliant play of UCF goal keeper Kim Wyant that kept UNC from scoring more. The first goal came with 19 minutes left in the first half when Marcia McDermott dribbled the ball down the right side of the field. "She sent the ball down the left, and I put it by the keeper," said striker Jo Boobas, who beat Wyant with her shot from 10 yards out. Halfway through the second half, reserve Birthe Hegstad took control of the ball at midfield. Dribbling around several defenders and popping the ball over the heads of several more, she brought the ball toward the goal. Striker Carrie Serwetnyk called for the ball, got it, and one-touehed it past the keeper. "It was a slow shot, but it had some spin on it, and I couldn't hold on to it," said UCF goalkeeper Wyant. Mines leads Meid hockey to iraairirow win t ovet VCU By MIKE BERARDINO StaffWriter The North, Carolina women's field hockey team spent last Friday night reinforcing an old adage, flirting with defeat, and thanks to the second half heroics of Louise Hines nar . ro wly pulling out a 2-1 win over Virginia Commonwealth. With a crowd of approximately 175 fans looking on at Astroturf Field, UNC showed that the best teams indeed do win without playing their best. The Tar Heels, ranked sixth nationally and coming off a season opening, 5-0 wipeout of Penn State just five days eariier, statistically dominated the unranked Rams throughout the contest, yet trailed 1-0 with under 15 minutes remaining. Enter Louise Hines. The 5-6 senior forward from West port, Ct. scored twice on penalty strokes in the last 15 minutes to foil VCU's upset bid and lift UNC to its second victory of the season without a loss. On the first goal, a VCU infraction in the goal area granted the Tar Heels a penalty stroke (a one-on-one confron tation between the goalkeeper and the offensive player from seven yards out). Hines rifled a shot into the lower left corner of the goal box with 14:58 to play, giving North Carolina a wave of momentum. However, following that score the game appeared headed for a tie (the coaches had decided not to play an overtime in case of a deadlock).

Your favorite flavors available at STUDENT STORES Central Florida's strength came in the form of goalkeeper Wyant and forward Michelle Akers, both members of the national team that toured Italy this past summer. UNC coach Anson Dorrance said Wyant is the best goalkeeper in America. "She's brilliant," he said. As for Akers, Dorrance's strategy was to have her marked by senior Senga Allan. "I thought Senga did a tremend ous job," Dorrance said. "Akers only had one good shot." "I feel I played her a pretty good game," Allan said. "At first it was a battle with her, needling each other all the time, trying to intimidate each other. She's the playmaker. Without her, they had nothing." UCF squeezed out an overtime victory against N.C. State Saturday and Dorrance admitted that the team probably was not as strong as it might have been. "We were fresher. That was a factor," he said. But the bigger factor was the intensity of the UNC team. "It was our enthu siasm that allowed us to dominate," Dorrance said. North Carolina is now 3-0-1 on the season, Central Florida 1-1. enter Louise Hines. With 2:30 left, a VCU defender was called for obstruction in the goal area, giving UNC another penalty stroke and Hines another chance for glory. Once again, Hines ripped a shot past a diving Vicki Martin, the Rams' goalkeeper, to avert an embarrassing tie with a team North Carolina polished off 6-0 last season. "We're lucky we got out of this game with a win," Hines said. "After that first goal, they were really high." The aforementioned goal took place with 17 minutes left in the first half courtesy of Celly Chamberlain, a sophomore forward for the Rams. Taking a free hit in UNC territory, Chamberlain had her first shot deflected but gained control of the rebound and let fly with a wildly bouncing, seeing eye shot that got by a host of Tar Heel defenders and goalkeeper Jan Miles as well. Having taken a 1-0 lead on the highly ranked Tar Heels, VCU ignored North Carolina's statistical edge and felt its own confidence soar. Despite the fact UNC outshot the Rams 11-1, amassed 18 penalty corners to their opponents' zero and kept the offensive pressure at high volume all night long, VCU continually frustrated the Tar Heels with scrappy defense and heads-up play. ttI give them (VCU) a lot of credit," coach Karen Shelton said after the game. "They played very good defense." 0 198 J Genmot Foods Corporo0"
