Brown's 'fee
came true in -loss
By MIKE BERARDINO
Sports Editor
Ostensibly, Mack Brown's
weekly press conference is sup
posed to be, a time to discuss the
previous week's loss and the
upcoming one as well. Tuesday at
Kenan Field House Brown did
that, but he did more. A lot more.
By the end of his 45-minute,
state-of-the-Tar Heels address,
UNC's first-year football coach
had shared one of his most embar
rassing moments as a player,
delivered . a dissertation on the
importance of emotion in sport
and defined his new role as that
of team psychologist.
UNC's 38-34 loss to Louisville
Saturday surprised many, includ
ing the oddsmakers, who installed
the Tar Heels as a 14-point favorite
prior to the contest. Brown,
however, was somewhat prepared
for impending doom.
"I knew what was coming
Saturday," Brown said. "I had that
feeling that it would be an absolute
dogfight down to the wire. Coach
ing this week is easy. Coaching the
week of the Louisville game is
hard. Everybody expects you to
win. That's hard. (At Tulane) we
used to sit around all the time and
say, 'You're gonna get beat, you're
gonna get beat. Better be careful,
you're gonna get beat. By Friday
we had them convinced."
Perhaps that was one of the
contributing factors to the loss, in
which the Tar Heel defense sur
rendered 512 yards in total offense
and missed a whopping 26 tackles.
"When they watched film on
Sunday, they were in shock,"
Brown said of his team. "They
didn't realize how slow they
looked, and how unemotional
they were out there. Now they
understand more about what it
takes to play 11 times in college
football.
"One of the things that's very
hard for me to understand is when
youVe got six days to prepare
emotionally that you couldirt be
at a 'peak 11 times with that
preparation. I'm gonna tell you,
boy, it is really hard to do."
That segiad nicely into a dis
cussion of the role oi emotion in
college football. Brpwji admittedly
is just as perplexed about the right
way to inspire a team as young
as the Tar Heels.
"Emotion is an amazing thing
in our sport," he said. "It's one
that's not talked about that much
because the really good teams win
without it. It's the teams like us
that have to have it.
"We've got a bunch of puppies
and a bunch of old pros. The
young guys see the future; they see
all those defensive guys coming
back, they see we're playing some
of the top teams in the country.
Hopkins sets pace
do volleyball sweep

The volleyball match Wednesday
night in Carmichael Auditorium
pitted the strong 9-2 Tar Heels against
a much weaker UNC-Charlotte team.
The expected blow-out never mate
rialized and the match turned into a
sloppy three-game victory for the
home team. It's not so much that the
UNCC team played so well, but the
hosting Tar Heels were just not on
their game.
"We played flat. We didn't warm
up well, and although the score looks
like we did a great job, we just didn't,"
UNC coach Peggy Bradley-Doppes
said.
In the opening game, UNC jumped
out to a quick lead on the strong
serving of Ann Schildmeyer and the
powerful hitting of senior tri-captain
Andrea Wells. After UNCC battled
back to narrow the margin to 10-7,
a pair of kills by Sharon German,
coupled with the strong serving of
junior middle-blocker Lisa Joffs,
pushed the Tar Heels to 13-7. A kill
by UNCC middle blocker Michelle
Smith cut the lead to five, but
Schildmeyer then killed a quick set
from Patti Hopkins to pull the home
team to game point. UNC closed out
the first game a few moments later,
winning 15-10.
The second game saw the Tar Heels
come out firing, finally playing to
their potential, and gaining an early
10-2 lead bolstered in part by five
straight points off Joffs' serve. Wells
opened the second set with two
blistering kills that left the crowd
gasping and her opponents running
for cover. Wells led the team with
14 kills, while tacking on 11 digs.
UNC closed out the game on a Joffs
block, winning 15-3.
In the third and final game, UNCC
started off poorly once again, with
Sheri Hall hitting the first serve into
iOg
The guys who struggle emotion
ally are the seniors who say, 'This
is my last chance.' Those are the
guys we talk to and say, 'Help us
lead these young guys; let's not get
into the record.' "
One of those "puppies" is Eric
Blount, a 5-footr9 freshman
receiver from Ayden. Saturday
against the Cardinals Blount had
two big fumbles one at the end
of a 65-yard return on the opening
kickoff of the second half and
another with six minutes left at the
UNC 38 to set up Louisville's
clinching touchdown.
Despite those two costly mis
takes, Brown is showing tremend
ous patience with Blount.
"We were very, very impressed
with Eric Blount's play; he graded
a winning performance," Brown
said. "After he had the tough drop
on the punt which was in the
rain with the ball floating away
from him I told him a story,
but it didn't help him much."
Apparently, while Brown was
playing at Vanderbilt in the early
1970s, he dropped back to return
a punt in a game against Alabama.
The punt was a good one, driving
Brown all the way back to his own
9. He mishandled it and watched
it roll into the Vandy end zone,
where the Crimson Tide pounced
on it for a touchdown.
"I can remember when the ball
bounced off me and then hit the
ground, it felt like 72 Alabama
players hit me," Brown recalled.
"And I can remember everybody
yelling that's the last thing I
remember.
"I never returned another punt.
They took me out and said, 'That's
it. See ya later.' "
Perhaps because that incident is
still so fresh in his memory, Brown
won't pull a similar confidence
crushing ploy on Blount.
While Blount apparently has his
coach's faith, the question came
up of how the 0-3 start has affected
the team's overall morale, espe
cially with a date with No. 4
Auburn coming up this weekend.
"You lose their confidence in
themselves and you lose some
confidence from them to you, in
that, 'Ha, these guys were going
to come in here and get it done.'
Coaches don't get it done, players
have to get it done.
"I'm not giving up the ship, and
our players aren't. Our first objec
tive is to win the Atlantic Coast
Conference championship, and we
haven't even started that yet. So
well go down to play Auburn, get
through this week and then
regroup before the conference
season."
UNC's quest for a Florida
Citrus Bowl bid begins on Oct. 8
at Wake Forest.
soon jumped out to their first lead
of the night on the strong hitting of
freshman Sherry Stephens. With her
team behind 4-0, UNC coach
Bradley-Doppes called a time out.
The Tar Heels returned from the
time out with a spark that cut the
lead to one. UNCC then pulled away
again, gaining a hard-fought 7-3 lead
after four consecutive side-outs. The
Tar Heels battled back to 7-7, with
the setter Hopkins saving one crucial
point and digging a block to gain a
side-out on another.
"I thought Patti played a good
game, but otherwise we were flat,"
Bradley-Doppes said. Hopkins, who
had 39 assists and 14 digs, was the
sole bright spot on an otherwise
dismal night.
During the rest of the third game,
the lead went back and forth until
a dink by Joffs that just fell in gave
the Heels the lead for good. German,
who finished the match with 13 kills
and 10 digs, eventually sealed the
victory with a powerful kill from deep
in the court, putting the Tar Heels
out of their misery by winning the
game 15-10.
Joffs (8 kills, and 10 digs), although
pleased that they won the match, was
not happy with her play and felt that
the Tar Heels should have trounced
the less talented UNCC team. She
tried to keep the win in perspective,
adding that just a victory isn't always
good enough. "This was a game
where we really had nothing to win
and everything to lose," Joffs said. .
With the victory, the Tar Heels
'improved their record to 10-2.
Coming off the sluggish effort
against a scrappy UNCC team, the
Tar Heels are idle until a Friday game
against Houston.

Team goals
By ERIC WAGNON
Staff Writer .
"Come on Heels! Two minutes!
Let's hang tough! Tight defense!"
Jennifer Anderson, senior co-captain
of the UNC field hockey team, shouts
from her left back position.
To anyone who watches her play,
it's apparent that she is a team leader
and motivator, on and off the field.
"I try to talk a lot when I'm on
the field," Anderson said. "That helps
me personally it makes me con
centrate more on the game. I feel
more a part of the game, and I hope
it helps the team."
According to Anderson, this year's
field hockey squad is a close-knit
team because each player sees the
team as moving toward a common
goal, rather than different individual
goals.
Anderson, from Morrisville, Pa.,
sees herself as a role player for the
highly-ranked Tar Heels.
"My role, as far as team play is
concerned, is that I have a specific
job as a left back and I want to play
that role as best as I can," Anderson
said. "There are no stars on our team.
Each person has to do their job, and
that's what is going to make us win."
Anderson's role includes taking hit
ins on penalty corners, which has led
to 28 career assists, second on UNC's
all-time list. Going into Saturday's
game against West Chester, the
midpoint of the regular season,
Anderson has five assists on the year.

High School, Anderson gradually
switched from forward to left back
at North Carolina. During her fresh
man year, she played very sparingly
but emerged as a starter five games
into her sophomore season.
She quickly faced two of the top
teams in the nation at that time, Iowa
and Old Dominion. "I think that
those two games gave me a lot of
confidence," she said, "because they
were two top-ru-ked teams and I
played well against them."
Last year, when the Tar Heels' road
ended just one goal short of a national
title, Anderson started all 21 games

and finished second on the team in
assists. Her assist total fell just one
short of teammate Lori Bruney's 24
a school record.
Having first picked up a hockey
stick in the fifth grade, Anderson
cited determination, discipline and
desire as the factors for her success.
"If you give 100 percent and you
work hard, then you will reach your .
goals," she said. "I really believe that,
whether it's athletics or studying."
Anderson sees her father as her
greatest role model.
"I'm a lot like him, and he's instilled
a lot of his values in me," she said.
"Especially a lot of people see this
as a negative aspect but we both
tend to be perfectionists."
She also credited UNC coach
Karen Shelton, saying, "When I came
to Carolina, I came from a losing high
school team. One thing that coach
Shelton has inspired in everyone who
comes to Carolina is a winning
attitude. You learn how to be a

"I think Karen, since IVe been here. J if
has matured as a coach. She's work-"-
ing very hard to become a good J
coach. She learns each year, and she
tries to adapt." s
As a two-year member of the ACC
academic honor roll, Anderson, an ;
economics and political science.,
major, manages to do justice to the ;';'
term "student-athlete." She has.-;
enjoyed this challenge, saying field;:'
hockey has given her another activity : ;
to focus on in addition to academics.
Looking toward the future, she
hopes to finish her field hockey career
at UNC with a national champion
ship. After college, like many UNC
seniors, she aspires "to go out into
the business world, get a good job
and support myself."
And in the real world, she will
surely use the leadership skills and
discipline which has developed her J
into a student-athlete.
