All dressed up and no place to go.
The North Carolina volleyball team
was obviously distressed at the pros
pect of having to spend time playing a
match on Halloween night instead of
going out and having fun with the rest
of the campus.
The cure: UNC Charlotte.
The Tar Heels carved up the 49ers
15-3, 15-4, 15-2 in 45 minutes at
Carmichael Auditorium Tuesday night,
which left them plenty of time to enjoy
the rest of the evening.
The Tar Heels improved to 15-6
overall, while UNCC fell to 8-20.
The 49ers briefly enjoyed leads of 1
0 and 2-1 in the first game before reality
set in and UNC took control.
With the score tied at 2-2, senior co
captain Lisa Joffs made her presence
known. She killed a weak return for a
side out for the Tar Heels. She then
stepped back and served the next five
points of the game to give the Tar Heels
a 7-2 advantage.
For the rest of the night the only
thing that slowed the Tar Heels down
were the frequent timeouts called by
the 49ers.
The score was 9-3 in favor of UNC
when freshman middle blocker Chris
White served five straight points to
make it 14-3.
A couple of side outs for both teams
only delayed the inevitable, and sopho
more Miriam Fulford came off the
bench to serve out the first game only
15 minutes into the match.
For fans who came in late and missed
the first game, the Tar Heels provided
an instant replay in the second.
Freshman Carolyn Flanders served
the first four points of the game for
UNC. The 49ers made it look good by
pulling to within two points at 4-2.
Then senior co-captain Sharon Ger
man decided it was her turn to take
control.
German's turn at serve, interrupted
only by the customary UNCC timeout,
made the score 7-2 for the Tar Heels.
UNC began wholesale substitutions
at this point, but only the players
changed, not the story.
Four different servers scored for the
Tar Heels to build a 13-4 lead. Sopho
more Lisa Radford served out the match
for the Tar Heels.
Junior Liz Berg laid to rest any hopes
of an amazing UNCC comeback dur
ing the first two minutes of the third
game.
Berg served the first nine points of
the game for the Tar Heels, including
six aces. The rest of the UNC team only
had to watch as the 49ers returned only
one of Berg's killer serves.
UNCC never got any closer than 10
2 during the final game, and the game
came to its lightning quick ending with
freshman Summer Sieg serving the final
two points of the match.
"We came out strong and ready for
them tonight," Berg said. "We just
wanted to get out of here in three. We
came out mentally prepared and that
was important."
UNC head coach Peggy Bradley
Doppes had nothing but praise for the
UNC effort.
"We played really well. We played
with more maturity and a lot more
aggressively.
"We beat somebody in three in less
than45 minutes and everybody played."

The DAiLy Tar HeeI!

Quiet and undemonstrative off the
field.
But as explosive and dynamic as a
firecracker on the Fourth of July with a
ball at her feet.
She's Mia Hamm, the dark-haired,
pixie-ish, soft-spoken forward for the
top-ranked UNC women's soccer team.
At first glance, the Washington, D.C.
freshman looks just like any other North
Carolina co-ed. She likes to do what
other students do, whether it be going
camping with friends, listening to music
(preferably The Indigo Girls or Jane's
Addiction) or chowing down on her
favorite food, Oysters Rockefeller.
She's also quite different from ordi
nary students. Hamm moved to Burke,
Va., in the middle of her sophomore
year in high school. As if that weren't
impressive enough, she also skipped a
year by combining her junior and sen
ior years. She also played three sports.
After UNC she hopes to pursue a career
in business or political science.
She also likes to play soccer. And
she does it with a passion.
In regular season play, Hamm was
second in the Atlantic Coast Confer
ence in both scoring (with 40 points)
and goals (she scored 18, three in last
weekend's conference tournament). She
has played on two national teams and
was voted the Most Valuable Player of
the ACC tourney.
Pretty impressive stats for a girl who
learned soccer the hard way while
growing up in Wichita Falls, Texas.
"I only moved to D.C. two years
before coming to UNC," Hamm said.
"Wichita Falls was not big soccer coun
try like Dallas. What I had to do was
play on boys teams for as long as I had
to. I think that's where I got my aggres
sive style from.
"Playing with the guys you have to
watch out for yourself. They wouldn't
watch out for you, except the guys on
your team. I was the only girl. I think
playing with the guys really helped me
a lot."
Hamm could have played anywhere
she wanted, but chose UNC because
she felt more comfortable being coached
by Anson Dorrance, whom she played
under for two years with the U.S. Na
tional Team.
"From that relationship I felt that I
could learn more at North Carolina
than at the other schools I considered,"
Hamm said. "This program right now
can help me improve and become the
best that I can be. This is one of the best
training environments in the country."
Being a newcomer to such a dynasty
can bring a lot of pressure with it, but
Hamm said she doesn't feel any except
what she puts on herself she never
feels that the whole team depends on
her performance.
Hamm attributed the team's success
to the great rapport the players have
with each other.
"I love all the players and we get
along well. All of us play for each
other," Hamm said. "Anson always says
that if one of us isn't playing right, then
we have to carry her. He really helps me
to do what we both know is my best."
Dorrance called Hamm one of the
team's "personality players" who has a
great impact on the rest of the squad.
"She's got unlimited courage," he
said. "There are a lot of qualities I have
respect for: speed, skih quickness. But
the one quality I admire is courage.
And she has it.
"I really admire Mia. She throws
herself around with total reckless aban
don, and I respect that in a person. It's
a nightmare for other teams to play
against her, because she's part of the
best forward line in UNC history."
Does Hamm consider herself a real
team player?
"Yes, and I hope I am," she said.
"The way I look at it is, this is my team.
I'm part of this team. I would do abso
lutely anything for this team, be it
winning, be it personal. I'd do anything
for any member. I hope I am a team
player, and that it shows."
Haram's peers certainly think so.
"She's fun to play with because she
always does something new and differ
ent," said teammate Julie Guarnotta.
"Mia thinks a lot when she plays, which
makes it easier for us to work well with
her. By the time she's a senior, she's
going to be incredible."
Mia Hamm is already there.
