wins in 3
OTs, 2-1
By NEIL AMATO
Staff Writer
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. It doesn't
get any better than this.
The UNC field hockey team, which
was supposedly having a rebuilding
year, captured its first national title in
spectacular fashion with a 2-1, triple
overtime, penalty-stroke win over
archrival Old Dominion Sunday.
The Tar Heels, who got their 20th
win of the season after 100 grueling
minutes, came through in the stroke
competition, the first such game in the
history of NCAA finals.
,, UNC head coach Karen Shelton was
thrilled to win after her squad had been
written off early.
"I thought if we got into the Final
Four we could win," Shelton said. "I
thought this was going to be a rebuild
ing year."
When crunch time came, it was UNC
goalkeeper Evelien Spee who sealed
the victory. Yes, she saved four Lady
Monarch stroke attempts, but it was her
goal in the nerve-racking competition
that assured UNC its national crown.
After UNC senior captain Leslie
Lyness converted to give UNC (20-2) a
1-0 lead, ODU's Robin Smith evened
the score with a 7-yard push to the left
side of the goal. UNC's Laurel Hershey
hit the post but Spee saved fellow Neth
erlander Annemee DeHaas' attempt.
UNC's Dutch freshman, Imke Lem
pers, poked one past Lady Monarch
goalie Kathy Fosina to the left portion
of the net. Spee then saved two ODU
attempts, and, after UNC's Kathy Staley
missed wide left, Spee scored to the
right of a diving Fosina.
Spee was confident about the final
test. "I think we had a better team," she
said. "We had five great strokers."
Lyness, the team's catalyst, praised
her teammates for making her finale a
grand one.
'This is just a great team," Lyness
said. "Everyone had the heart to win. I
knew we could win. The whole team
knew we could win."
The Tar Heels, who slipped by Iowa,
1 -0, on Saturday thanks to a clutch goal
by defender Nancy Lang, wouldn't have
needed penalty strokes if they had
converted on several OT opportunities.
Regulation ended at 1-1 on second
half goals by UNC's Peggy Anthon and
ODU's Maaike Hilbrand. In the three
overtime periods, the UNC defense
stuffed any ODU scoring threat. Shel
ton was proud of her defense's coming
of age.
"I was concerned with our young
defense at the start of the season,"
Shelton said. "They've been working
hard all year. They played a great game."

Dyke's 41 -0 blowout shots

; It's over.
Those may be the kindest words
anyone can say about the 1989 North
Carolina football season.
Services were held Saturday in front
of 46,000 mourners at Kenan Stadium.
It's fitting that arch-rival Duke deliv
ered the 41-0 eulogy.
Duke won its seventh game in a row
to finish the regular season at 8-3 and
secure a bid to the All-America Bowl.
The Blue Devils' 6-1 ACC mark earned
them a tie with Virginia for the confer
ence championship. The Tar Heels
suffered their 10th straight defeat to
finish at 1-10 for the second straight
year, 0-7 in the ACC.
From the opening kickoff Saturday,
the Blue Devils let it be known that
there would be no upset in the making.
Quarterback Dave Brown, in relief of
Billy Ray for the third straight week,
led an 80-yard, 10-play drive that took
only 3:07. Brown was 4-of-7 passing,
but an incompletion may have been the
biggest play of the drive.
Duke needed nine yards on second
down at the UNC 32-yard line. Brown's
sideline pass fell incomplete when UNC
senior defensive back Torin Dorn
clocked the intended receiver Darryl
Clements. In the celebration, Dorn
pushed Clements to the ground. Duke
tight end Dave Colonna took offense
and leveled Dorn, only to find himself

Tracey Bates & the Tar Heels were too much for Colorado College as UNC won its 4th-straight title
UNC Iam Soviets, 85-75
By DAVE GLENN
Sports Editor
The Berlin Wall may be falling, or at
least opening, but North Carolina's wall
is still standing tall.
The UNC frontcourt of Pete Chilcutt,
Rick Fox and George Lynch combined
for 50 points and 26 rebounds as the Tar
Heels hammered the Soviet Union, 85
75, Friday evening before 17,005 at the
Smith Center.
The Tar Heel offense took the ball
into the paint at every opportunity,
causing the Soviets to commit 26 per
sonal fouls to UNC's four.
That gave North Carolina an incred
ible edge at the free throw line. The Tar
Heels, led by Fox's 8 of 10, converted
27 of 36 freebies on the evening; the
Soviets finished 1 of 3 from the charity
stripe.
UNC head coach Dean Smith said
the team's early inside focus is some
thing you can expect to see often from
his 1989-90 Tar Heels, who attempted
only five three-pointers to the Soviets'
32. "I'd rather have the ball in the
paint," he said, "where we can score, or
they'll block it, or we'll get the foul."
Though the Soviets blocked 13 shots,
the Tar Heels banged it inside enough
for a 49-32 halftime lead, one that
proved too tough for the Soviets to
overcome.
Soviet head coach Valdas Garastas
surrounded by an angry Tar Heel bench.
When the fisticuffs were halted, UNC
senior Willie Joe Walker was thrown
out of his last UNC game, and the Tar
Heels received a 15-yard personal foul
penalty, giving Duke a first down on
the 17. Tar Heel defensive back Cliff
Baskerville knocked down Brown's
first pass for Clarkston Hines in the end
zone, but the Blue Devils went right
back to the same play and Hines caught
his NCAA-record 36th touchdown pass.
"He runs precise patterns," Basker
ville said of Hines. "He's both fast and
quick. He's just a great receiver."
Great may be an understatement.
Hines abused an inexperienced Tar Heel
secondary for eight catches, including
two more touchdowns of 12 and 44
yards. His 162 yards receiving pushed
his season total to 1,149 yards, break
ing his own ACC single-season record.
HejoinedTulane'sMarcZeno(coached
by none other than current UNC head
coach Mack Brown) as the only two
players in NCAA Division I-A history
to top 1,000 yards in three seasons.
The Blue Devils led 27-0 at halftime
after scoring on five of their seven
possessions, including the first four
times they touched the ball. Duke's
only failures came when UNC defen
sive back Rondell Jones picked off a
Brown pass, and Randy Gardner missed
a 48-yard field goal on the half s last
play.

said his team fell too far behind early in
the game to have a chance to win.
"After several minutes, we were down
by 17 points," Garastas said through an
interpreter. "After that it was difficult
for us to play."
Chilcutt, Fox and Lynch made things
difficult for the Soviets by scoring 1 5 of
the Tar Heels' first 17 points as UNC
creeped out to a 12-point lead. When
Lynch turned a King Rice lead pass into
a scintillating one-hand slam, UNC was
up 17-5 with 14:38 remaining in the
first half.
Rice piled up assist after assist by
setting his teammates up on the
fastbreak and in the low post in the half
court offense. Rice finished the eve
ning with 10 points and two steals to go
with eight assists.
Smith said Rice did everything a
coach could ask for. "King Rice just did
everything well," he said. "Every time
I started thinking I wanted to get the
ball to a certain guy, King got it to him
the next time down the floor."
Rice said his new-and-improved
passing game trying to get the ball to
the right man in the right place at the
right time was something he picked
up from an old teammate of his. "I
learned a lot of this from Jeff Lebo over
the past two years," Rice said. 'To
night, they had a smaller guy on Rick,
and Kevin (Madden) can post up any
of Duke's ACC-leading passing of
fense (sixth in the nation) and UNC's
ACC-leading passing defense (seventh
in the NCAA). But with the Tar Heels
gambling on single coverage most of
the day, Brown ripped UNC for 479
yards on 33-for-54 passing.
"When you play freshman defensive
backs against Duke's receivers, you're
going to have trouble," Mack Brown
said.
But Duke wasn't all passing. Tail
back Randy Cuthbert spun and rolled
for 116 yards, going over the century
mark for the sixth consecutive game.
Despite starting only the last five games,
Cuthbert finished the regular season
with 1,203 yards on the ground.
Cuthbert's bruising rushes and the
Brown-to-Hines aerial show added up
to 656 yards of total offense, giving
Duke an ACC single-season total of
fense record of 5,519 yards. The Blue
Devils topped their own mark of 5,1 1 1
set in 1988.
UNC quarterback Chuckie Burnette
went 1 -for-10 for 11 yards and two
interceptions in the first half, while
Brown rolled up 29 1 yards on 23-of-3 1
passing. Burnette finished the day 7-fbr-28
for 114 yards and a school-record
six interceptions. UNC could man
age only 88 yards of total offense by
halftime, in contrast to Duke's 353.
The most effective part of the UNC
attack was tailback Eric Blount, who
gained 76 yards on 13 attempts.

body.
"We have, the potential to hit the
outside shots, but our main goal is to get
it inside and get their big guys in foul
trouble."
The fouls mounted, and when Rice
hit Henrik Rodl for a breakaway layup,
the Tar Heels stretched their lead to 30
14 at the midway point of the first half.
UNC capped its first-half barrage
when Hubert Davis canned a three
pointer with less than a minute to play
in the first half. One Soviet hoop later,
the Tar Heels headed to the locker room
with a commanding 49-32 advantage.
The Soviets managed to get as close
as 61-58 midway through the second
half, but the Tar Heels reeled off eight
consecutive points to regain control of
the game. When Rice took a steal the
length of the court for an uncontested
layup, UNC was up and away at 69-58.
The Soviets got no closer than seven
points the rest of the way.
Against a Soviet team that had four
players who were 6-9 or taller, North
Carolina played without two of the
larger components of its front line, 6-foot-10

CAA titles
Soccer bags eighth
championship, 2-0
By SCOTT GOLD
Assistant Sports Editor
RALEIGH For a while in
Sunday's national championship match
at N.C. State's Method Road Soccer
Field, Colorado College's women's
soccer team was ahead of the North
Carolina team.
You see, when playing a team with
the irrefutable past that the Tar Heels
have, to be tied, even if it's 0-0, is to be
ahead.
Finally, after a long, strenuous battle
and over 70 minutes of playing time,
that all changed.
Senior Shannon Higgins knocked in
her 15th goal of the season and final
goal of her illustrious career to relieve
UNC, 24-0-1, of a tense scoreless tie
and send her team on its way to a fourth
consecutive national championship, 2
0. It was the third straight year that
Higgins had scored the game-winner in
the national championship game.
The squad has now won eight of the
last nine titles and owns an overall
tourney record of 23-1.
For the first time in a few years,
though, no one on or off the field was at
all sure about who was going to take the
title. Colorado College presented the
last, but the most stubborn, obstacle
that the Tar Heels needed to overcome
on their path to the national crown.
Perhaps emotionally drained from
Saturday's 2-0 success over N.C. State
that thrust them into the final game, the
Tar Heels did not come out firing with
as much intensity as they had in their
quarterfinal and semifinal victories.
"It was a good final," he said. "We
couldn't solve the problem of their
defense, and the other problem was that
we just weren't sharp. I think they were
putting some pressure on us."
Higgins' goal at the 70:28 mark re
lieved much of that tension, relaxed her
teammates and allowed them to settle
back into the rhythm they had estab
lished over the course of the season.
After fifth-year senior Tracey Bates
received a pass from midfielder Sarina
Wiegman, she blitzed down the left
flank but was forced off-balance by a
Colorado defender. Before recovering,
Tiger Karla Thompson attempted to
clear the ball out of the box, but Bates
threw her body in front of Thompson.
The ball deflected off Bates' hip
toward the goal, just over the out
stretched fingers of Tiger goalkeeper
Kris Ziets, and floated across to Hig
gins, who booted it in from less than
five yards out.
Bates, who had been injured most of
the last two years with knee problems,
exhibited her importance to the ongo
ing success of the Tar Heels, as her
versatility and spark once again pro
vided strong bonds in the overall chem
istry of the squad.
Stacy Blazo was drawn from her
backfield position to the midfield area
due to troubles containing one of CC's
Heels' 1 -
offense never got off the ground
strikers. Bates, more experienced and
comfortable negotiating in the packed
arena of centerfield, had to cover for
Blazo and turned in another masterful
performance.
After only her third game sampling
defense, she was voted the Most Valu
able Defensive Player in the Final Four.
"She organized the game-winning
goal, playing a position she's never
played before," Dorrance said. "She
won the defensive MVP, and she's been
playing defense for three games now. I
think that's remarkable."
Once Bates was moved back to fill
the defensive void, the backs began to
settle down and concentrate on not only
stymying the Tiger attacks but making
strong passes out to the flanking of
fense. 'They came out in a two-front today
so we had to push one of our marking
backs up to midfield," All-America
back Carla Werden said. "We knew
that they were good, and that they're
strong and tough, and big and quick."'
Perhaps the strongest, toughest,
biggest and quickest of all the Tiger
threats was forward Kerri Tashiro, an
All-American and a former member of
the U.S. Junior National Team. Tashiro
has been held scoreless in only seven of
CC's 20 matches.
Laura Boone, UNC's junior mark
ing back, smothered Tashiro, blocking
her from all scoring opportunites. The
game marked the second straight re
markable performance for Boone, who
also stopped N.C. State's Charmaine
Hooper in Saturday's semifinal action.
The Tar Heels' second and final goal
came at the 83:48 mark. After a Hig
gins corner kick, the ball was deflected
to Most Valuable Offensive Player
Kristine Lilly, who sent a rocket shot
into the right side of the strings.
Perhaps the most amazing aspect of
Sunday's victory was its closing of
some distinguished careers, namely
those of seniors Ava Hyatt, Julie Guar
notta, Werden and Higgins.
The last time UNC lost was in the
1985 championship against George
Mason. Since then, the team has gone
undefeated for 95 games. Therefore,
the foursome of seniors has not lost a
collegiate game.
'Tracey has been here five years, so
she experienced a loss in her first year,"
Dorrance said. "The other four have
never lost here. And that's amazing.
It's an incredibly special group for us."
Werden agreed that the capping
victory was the sweetest of all 95.
"It's special, just because of the
friends that you' ve made over the years,
the girls that you came in with," she
said. "We have a special bond because
we've never lost a game. We are a
group of girls that have a common
interest in playing soccer.
"We just go out there to have fun and
whatever happens, happens."
Golly gee, look what happened.
