The Daily Tar HeelTuesday, September 5, 19897 Women's soccer off on right foot; f reshmeo lead the way! By SCOTT GOLD Staff Writer What happens when a national cham pion loses two Ail-Americans, Soccer America's Most Valuable Player and three more significant contributors? It gets better. Wendy Gebauer is gone, taking her tact, nerves and organization with her. Birthe Hegstad left too, her magical, quicker-than-the-eye-can-see feet trail ing behind her. Powerful Lori Henry, the anchor of last year's defense. Anne Sherow. Andrea Zemen. Donna Rigley. All gone. Together they totaled 137 goals, 8 1 assists and three national champion ships. An outsider wouldn't have ever known the difference. North Carolina unleashed this year's version of that championship team this weekend, crushing Hardin-Simmons 9--1 on Sa'u tlay, and then tanning South ern Metnodist University 5-1 on Sun day. "We were pleased with the victo ries," coach Anson Dorrance said. "I'm really excited about this team. "It's very explosive and has a lot of good dimensions good team quick ness and an excellent tactical frame work. I think the chemistry is outstand ing." There are probably two main rea sons that North Carolina is not suffer ing the consequences of losses that would cripple any other team in the nation: the amazing crop of freshman , the UNC imported over the summer enough to rejuvenate any team and the exhilarating return of midfielder Tracy Bates, out all of last year with injuries. North Carolina started off the season well in Saturday's opener, obliterating an early 1 -0 Hardin-Simmons lead with the helping hand of rookie Mia Hamm 's hat trick. Senior Shannon Higgins tied the game at one with a l-yarder just after the seven-minute mark. "It was an excellent opening," Hig gins said. "We had drawbacks with the heat (102 degrees on Sunday), but I think everybody did an excellent job. The freshman really contributed well, and everyone coming off the bench did a fantastic job. The team is more to gether this year." Hamm scored the first of three goals at 30:22 on an assist from senior Ava Hyatt, powering in a shot from directly in front of the goal. Hamm also scored on a breakaway at 62:02 and rebounded a deflection off the post at 64:19. Freshman Kristine Lilly also pro vided an immediate impact on the Tar Heels by knocking in the tie-breaking goal as well as assisting Hamm's final tally. UNC's other goals were scored by Werden, junior Pam Kalinoski and sophomore Louellen Poore. Bates, an All-American in 1986 and 1987 and a member of the U.S. Na tional Team, was out all of last year with an injured foot, and Saturday marked a long-awaited and a trium phant return for the tiny midfielder. "I did alright," she said. "I've played better, but it was a good start. I can't tell you what a fantastic feeling it was just to be out there again, though." In Sunday's championship match, North Carolina easily handled the 1 9th ranked team in the country, jumping out to an early 2-0 lead in the first half that they never relinquished. Lilly once again provided the crucial goal of the game, in this case the first one, on an assist by Kalinoski. She also provided the assist on UNC's final tally. The game was essentially settled at the 20: 1 0 mark, when Higgins booted a penalty kick into the corner of the goal to make it 2-0. "That's easily the best team in the land," SMU coach Alan Kirkup said. "We came out a little mesmerized by North Carolina, and that penalty deci sion was a dubious call. Being down 2 0 just like that made us struggle." Two quick goals by Kalinoski be fore the half drained the Mustangs of their last breath of upset, and the Tar Heels were on their way to another easy ride. Julie Guarnotta provided UNC with their fifth and final tally. In men's action this weekend, the seventh-ranked squad opened their 1 989 season under new head coach Elmar Bolowich with a disappointing upset loss to Hartwick in the first game of the Demon Deacon Weekend Challenge. Attempting to recover and restart the . season, the team took out all of their early frustrations on an outclassed Texas Christian team, winning 3-1 on Sunday in Winston-Salem. Hockey All three goals were scored by junjQr forward Derek Missimo, who helped the Tar Heels overcome an early 'jT-J) Horned Frog lead. North Carolina had plenty of oppor tunities, firing 23 shots in the gam?, while limiting TCU, 0-2, to only five. "We were a lot better prepared the second match)," Bolowich said. "We put forth the effort necessary to win. We played more aggressive today than against Hartwick." from page 6 we can talk a little more and we need to gel more as a team. Other than that, I think we did great." The Tar Heels did play mostly with out error, the exceptions coming at the beginning and the end. The alumnae drew first blood early after a UNC penalty corner failed. Two-time first team All-American Maryellen Falcone, UNC's fourth-leading scorer and an '87 graduate, got around the left side of the UNC defense and fired a shot over the glove of Spee into the back corner of the net. The alumnae who were coached by UNC lacrosse mentor Willie Scroggs and played on the lighter side, using a male goalkeeper in the first half and often sneaking in an illegal 12th player had several opportunities to add to their lead in the first half. Midway through the first half, an alumnae penalty corner almost made it 2-0. After '89 grad Jennifer Anderson hit the ball in and Lori Bruney stopped it, Gillespie fired a shot to Spee's right. The native of Rotterdam, The Nether lands, deflected it with her foot and then glove-saved a follow while on the ground. Both teams had limited first-half scoring bids, but the second half was a different story. Each squad recorded four penalty corners in the second stanza, with the Tar Heels converting on one. The alumnae followed up on their late goal in regulation and almost won the game three minutes into the over time period. After a penalty corner shot by '87 alumna Claire Dougherty and save by Spee, the loose ball came right to the stick of the alumnae's Kim Knick erbocker Gey. But Gey, a zoology major who now attends nursing school, whiffed in front of the net to give UNC new life. The overtime period was uneventful with the exception of Anthon's score. Lempers took a hit-in from the right side that met with the streaking An thon, who hit the ball into the left side of the goal. Although the loss was disheartening to the alumnae, many were just glad to be in Chapel Hill again. "It feels great to be back and to see everybody again," Anderson said. "They look really good." Since this was the first true game experience the Tar Heels have had, Shelton thought it was important to see what needs to be done to improve. "We're young and we're learning with every game," Shelton said. "This was very good for us because it's proba bly one of the more competitive games we'll play all season." ' After a scrimmage Wednesday at Duke, the Tar Heels open the regular season in Philadelphia with games against Villanova and Temple this weekend. ! Your Own Apartment. Now You Can Afford It.
