Woinroeini's soccer tannin advances to FSmiafl Foioir
By SCOTT GOLD
Stat! Writer
The UNC women's soccer team has
established its motto for the year:
speak softly and carry a lot of
experience.
Using that baggage, the Tar Heels
propelled themselves into the NCAA
Final Four for the seventh consec
utive year, squeaking by Central
Florida, 2-1, Sunday afternoon on
Fetzer Field.
The victory improved UNC's
record to 16-0-2 and marked the Tar
Heels' 68th straight game without a
loss. North Carolina is now 18-1 in
post-season play.
Chris Huston's goal with 14:25 left
snapped a 1-1 tie and put the Tar
Heels in front for good. Wendy
Gebauer had given UNC a 1-0 lead
early in the second half before the
Knights came back to tie.
Of all the teams UNC has faced
this year, Central Florida has pro
vided the most resistance. On Oct.
9 in Orlando, the Knights dominated
much of the game but ended up
playing UNC to a scoreless tie.
Sunday's match was another story,
though. North Carolina dominated
most of the first half, consistently
keeping the ball in Central Florida's
half of the field. UNC often moved
into the Knights' penalty box but
couldn't seem to capitalize on any of
numerous opportunities.
"It was another typical UCF-UNC
game," Knights coach Bill Barker
said. "We got started slow, and that's
what really hurt us to begin with.
They put a lot of pressure on us, but
we withstood that. We have a tough

NORFOLK, Va. For the
UNC field hockey team, Sunday
was a sad ending to an otherwise
fantastic season.
Host Old Dominion dropped
the ACC champion Tar Heels to
18-2 with a 2-1 win in the NCAA
regional final Sunday afternoon.
The Lady Monarchs, 24-1 and
ranked first in the country,
advance to the NCAA Final Four
next weekend at the University of
Pennsylvania's Franklin Field.
Second-ranked North Carolina
had several injured starters, but all
of them toughed it out for the final,
which was played at Foreman
Field.
Sunday's game marked the third
meeting of the year between the
two powerhouses, with the teams
splitting the first two games.
Old Dominion's winning goal
came with 17:59 left in the game
on a penalty stroke from Marije
Jurriens. Jurriens, a freshman
from Utrecht, Holland, flipped the
UNC tailback Kennard Martin

defense.
"Shoot, look who they are. They've
been in the playoffs forever, so I think
that experience and the fact that they
had five or six seniors in there really
helped them out a lot."
UNC's biggest opportunity came
with under two minutes left in the
first half. Gebauer served a soft cross
to Shannon Higgins, who was waiting
right in front of the goal. Knights
goalie Karen Richter was in hot
pursuit of Gebauer, so Higgins had
an open net in front of her, yet headed
the ball wide to the left.
"Scoring is really difficult in this
game," UNC coach Anson Dorrance
said. "There are so few natural
finishers. Most people, when you get
the ball in the box, are under pressure,
and the odds are you're going to kick
it over the top. Or panic. In that
environment that's what happens."
UNC's first goal finally came 53:45
into the game. Forward Julie Guar
notta streaked down the right side of
the field, accompanied by two defend
ers, but somehow managed to center
the ball beautifully to Gebauer. The
5-foot-7 senior then headed a shot
past Richter's outstretched fingers for
her ninth goal of the year, matching
Higgins for the team lead.
UCF was quick to tie the game,
however. At the 62:20 mark, fresh
man Jennifer Blackwell managed to
work her way behind the defense and
chipped a high bouncer over charging
goalie Meridee Proost.
"The decision she had to make was
either to come or stay, and when you
come you have to get it," Dorrance
said. "In that situation I think she
ball to the right of Tar Heel goalie
Evelien Spee and into the net. The
penalty stroke was a result of a
courageous yet illegal play by
senior co-captain Tracey Yurgin.
With her leg, Yurgin deflected a
bullet from ODU's Maaike
Hilbrand.
Old Dominion's first score came
with 14:26 remaining in the first
half when Spee was forced to
confront ODU's Lynn Hoinsky.
Hoinsky took the ball nearly to
the endline and then crossed it
back into the center of the goal
area. Senior Jill Fisher was there
to collect the ball and slam it into
the net to tally just the 12th goal
all year on the staunch UNC
defense.
Sophomore Laurel Hershey
gave UNC a 1-0 lead just 26
seconds into the contest when she
picked up the ball in front of the
ODU goal and slapped it past
goalkeeper Kathy Fosina. One

came late. I thought it was a really
good attack. We were obviously flat
in the back."
One of the highlights in the game
for North Carolina was the pheno
menal play of back Carla Werden.
Werden was impressively cool under
attack and mixed power with preci
sion in clearing numerous threats
from UCF.
"She's brilliant," Dorrance
beamed. "She organizes our defense.
She's one of the top central defenders
in the world. Her technical ability and
concentration made a big difference
for us."
The game-winning goal, at the
75:35 mark, provided a boost that was
even bigger than was obvious at the
time. Following yet another clear by
Werden, the ball found its way to
freshman forward Huston, who
passed to Gebauer. As usual, she was
immediately surrounded by a flock
of defenders, so she crossed the ball
back to Huston, who put in the first
goal of her collegiate career.
"We were teasing Chris that she
was going to be the first forward in
UNC history to go an entire season
without scoring," Dorrance said. "But
she's lifted that monkey off her back.
She came right over to the sidelines
and said that she scored that for us.
It was a great goal and certainly
timely. If the players want to wait
until the NCAA's to score all their
goals, it's fine with me."
The national semifinals will match
North Carolina against Wisconsin, a
2-1 winner over Massachusetts earlier
Sunday. The other bracket will match
N.C. State against California.

WINSTON-SALEM Anyone
familiar with the N.C. State basket
ball program's regular-season philo
sophy will clearly identify with the
1988 UNC men's soccer team.
At one point during the regular
season, the Tar Heels were a disap
pointing 4-6-1. Entering the first
round of the NCAA Tournament,
they were 13-8-1, having won seven
of their final nine games, including
two wins, in the ACC tournament
against Clemson and Duke.
Saturday at Wake Forest's Polo
Field, UNC handily defeated the
Demon Deacons, 2-0, to advance to
the NCAA's Sweet 16.
UNC needed to play well against
Wake to ward off the Doubting
Thomases who felt the Tar Heels
didn't deserve a bid to this prestigious
postseason party. Skeptics came from
such locations as Duke, Clemson and
N.C. State, where it is tradition to
compete in the NCAA tournament.
This year, however, these schools
will be watching basketball, while
only three ACC schools Virginia,
Wake and UNC received tourna
ment invitations.
The first 40 minutes of the game
was all UNC needed to prove its
worth.
"They played very well for the first
40 minutes of the game," Deacons

head coach Walt Chyzowich said. "In
the first half, we were very disorgan
ized on defense. We were lethargic.
The Tar Heels pressured Wake
early, but many of the shots were wide
of the goal so Wake goalkeeper Scott
Wehmer, who had eight shutouts
during the season, was not tested.
On UNC's first effective shot of the
afternoon, forward Adam Tinkham
scored what would prove to be the
game winner.
At midfield, freshman defender
Tom O'Connor stole an errant pass
from the foot of one of Wake Forest's
many foreigners, Mark Brereton, a
senior defender from Dublin, Ireland.
O'Connor then sent a needle
threading pass to a breaking
Tinkham.
Tinkham, in rugged fashion, beat
two Deacon defenders and, facing a
one-on-one with Wehmer, calmly
slipped the ball into the lower right
corner of the net at 17:12.
For the next 20 minutes, it was
nothing but blue.
The final tally of the game came
from the foot of junior defender Marc
Buffin.
Following a flurry of passes and
miskicks, Dino Megaloudis con
trolled the ball in the penalty box.
The mighty 5-foot-6 senior then sent
a bending, waist-high pass to a
charging Buffin. He volleyed the pass

The Virginia Cavaliers did what the
UNC basketball team could not
Saturday namely, fastbreak their
way to a victory over a slower
opponent. But the Wahoos' win came
on grass, not hardwood.
Behind the golden touch of Shawn
Moore, the Cavs ran out to a 21 -point
bulge in the first 10 minutes of the
game at Kenan Stadium, withstood
a persistent second-half Tar Heel
comeback and got a 28-yard Mark
Inderlied field goal with 6:11 to go
to win 27-24 in the Tar Heels' last
home game of the year.
UNC fell to 1-9 with the loss, 1
4 in the ACC. Virginia, which could
play for a bowl bid next week against
Maryland, improved to 6-4, 4-2.
"There are very few teams in
America who can spot somebody 21
points in the first quarter and have
a chance to come back and win the
ball game," UNC coach Mack Brown
said. "You take that quarter out, we
win the ballgame 24-6. It's unbeliev
able how hard we played the last three
quarters."

Deacon net by a diving Wehmer, who
had suffered a hip pointer at 18
minute mark.
For Megaloudis, the assist gave
him 34 for his career and made him
the career assist leader in UNC men's
soccer history. The record was
previously held by former North
Carolina star Billy Hartman.
The second half was played much
differently than the first. UNC
seemed content with a two-goal lead
and proceeded to play the final 45
minutes between the penalty boxes.
Up front for the Tar Heels were
two newcomers.
Although a senior, Donald Cogs
ville has been thrust to the front line
for the first time in two years for
UNC. He's been having some trouble
adjusting to the quick-decision type
of play the striker position requires.
Cogsville was held scoreless on the
afternoon but did set up many plays
for his partner, Tinkham, who also
is a new forward after having played
most of the season at midfield.
As the second half progressed,
Cogsville became more and more
desperate to beat Deacon sweeper
Todd Renner, who held the 6-foot-
3 Cogsville in check with his own 6-
4 height and aggressive play.
"He was playing like a man pos
sessed, Cogsville said of Renner's
verbal and physical attack.
The Cavaliers' version of King
Midas took advantage of the late
starting Tar Heels by leading his
squad to paydirt on its first three
possessions.
The first score came after the Tar
Heels stalled on their first drive at
their own 44. Moore got things going
when he stepped up to the line of
scrimmage facing a third-and-6 at his
own 32. Seconds later, the ball rested
on the UNC 44, thanks to a 24-yard
rollout pass to tight end Bruce
McGonnigal.
After another rollout pass, this one
to speedster John Ford, gulped in 21
more yards of UNC turf, Moore
called his own number two plays
later, optioned right and dashed
through the sleepy UNC defense for
an 1 8-yard touchdown and a 7-0 lead.
But Moore hardly had time to get
a cup of water before racking up some
more points. That's because UNC
fullback James Thompson fumbled
the ensuing kickoff and Winston
Salem native Tony Covington reco
vered at the UNC 38.
Tailback Nikki Fisher ran twice for
a gain of just three yards, and the

But UNC's inability to score in the
second half did not affect the play
of the Tar Heels young backfield.
"Rich (Wachsman) and the rest of
the backs were leading the game really
well," Dorrance said. "We really gave
them only one scoring opportunity
the whole afternoon.
"In terms of team shape, we had
a good team discipline. We didn't get
spread out too far."
With the victory, UNC heads into
the second round of the tournament
next weekend at a time to be deter
mined against the University of South
Carolina.
The game, to be played in Colum
bia, will be a rematch of last year's
round of 16 tournament game in
which North Carolina brought down
the mighty Gamecocks in The Grave
yard, 2-1, in a shootout.
"Earlier in the season we tied
(South Carolina, 0-0) at home in one
of the worst games we played all
year, Dorrance said. "I hope this
time it will be a lot better quality
game. We have improved a lot since
we played them last time."
The victory was UNC's eighth in
its last 10 games and it proved a very
important aspect of sports in general
the only part of the season that
really counts is the end, when the
championship is on the line.
Just ask Jim Valvano.

yards on two penalties. Big deal. On

eluded Antonio Goss and Roy Barker
in the backfield before stepping "Up
and firing to Ford in the end zone
behind cornerback Clarence Carter.
With 8:18 to go in the quarter, the
Wahoos led 14-0. "...
After the Tar Heels went three and
out on their next possession and Scott
McAlister hit just a 26-yard punt,
Moore hit tight end Joel Dempsey
across the middle on a second-and-10
from the UNC 12. Dempsey
caught the ball at the UNC 2, was
hit hard and fumbled into the end
zone.
No matter. Wideout Tim Finkel
ston pounced on the ball in the back
of the light blue area for a 21-0 lead
with 4:50 left in the quarter.
"I didn't think they were going to
be flat, because this is an emotional
game; this is UNC-Virginia," Moore
said. "We knew they were having
problems on defense. We wanted to
