Sarah Ingle: Where are you
from?
Tiffany Carberry: Brookfield,
N.H.
Ingle: Why did you choose to at
tend UNCA?
Carberry: I wanted to leave New
England and see other areas of the
country. Plus, UNCA had what I
was looking for academically and
athletically.
Ingle: Do you like it here?
Carberry: I love it here! The
mountains are beautiful, and it is a
great place to train.
Ingle: What is your favorite
thing about UNCA?
Carberry: Well, I have two fa
vorites really. I love the size of the
school and the chance I have had
to get to really know my teachers.
Not many bigger schools have that
luxury. I also really love the moun
tains.
Ingle: When will you graduate?
Carberry: I will be graduating in
May 2005.
Ingle: What are your plans for
after graduation?
Carberry: I am not really sure
yet. I eventually want to open my
own business, something in alter
native healing, or maybe even a
yoga studio or gym.
Ingle: What is your event, or
events, in cross country?
Carberry: Well, in cross coun
try, the women all run the same dis
tance, which is either the 5K or a
6K.
Ingle:Sf/\i2X is your exercise regi
ment like?
Carberry: My training varies de
pending on where I am training. I
have run up to 65 miles a week be
fore, but right now I am running
about 50-55. We run everyday, lift
2-3 times a week, and swim three
times a week. It can be tough some
times, but it is worth it when you
see the results at the end of the sea
son. Coach Duncan really knows
his stuff!
Ingle: What are your goals for
this cross country season?
Carberry: I would like to do the
best I can for myself, and for my
team and to make this the best cross
country season of my career.
What is your favorite kind
of running shoe?
Carberry: I have probably run
in every brand out there, and I can
not say that I have a favorite. I liked
a shoe called Vapor made by
Brooks, but they discontinued it.
We are running in Mizuno right
now, and they seem all right.
Ingle: What do you do when you
are not in class or at practice?
Carberry: Yoga or just plain re
laxing.
Ingle: Is it hard being a student
and an athlete?
Carberry: Yes and no. It is diffi
cult sometimes to juggle two pri
orities, but it helps keep me on top
of things that I need to get done. 1
can not procrastinate as much.
Ingle: Do you play any other
sports?
Carberry: I run indoor and out
door track, but it is still running. I
used to play field hockey in middle
school. It was fun, but the best skill
that I had on the field was my abil
ity to run the whole game. I guess
running was the best fit!
Ingle: Do you have any hobbies?
Carberry: Other than running,
my hobbies are yoga, scrapbooking,
and recently, I have started making
eye pillows, which are little pillows
filled with dried herbs.
Ingle: What is your favorite res
taurant in Asheville?
Carberry: Texas Roadhouse.
Invle: What is your favorite
food?
Carberry: I love Oreos!
Ingle: What kind of music do
you listen to?
Carberry: If it has a good beat, I
will listen to it.
Ingle: Can you tell me a little bit
about your family?
Carberry: I come from a family
of runners. Both my mom and my
dad run, which is probably why I
started in the first place. I just
thought it was what normal people
do. They have been my No. 1 fans
all through high school and college.
They have helped me become the
person that I am today. I love them
very much.
Ingle: Do you collect anything?
Carberry: I do not intentionally
collect anything, but I seem to bave
enough running shoes around my
room to start my own store.
Ingle: If you could go on vaca
tion to any country in the world
where would you go and why?
Carberry: Greece. I do not know
why. It just seems like an amazing
place to visit.
Ingle: If you were stranded on a
deserted island and you could only
have one thing with you, what
would it be and why?
Carberry: My boyfriend, be
cause he is creative enough to prob
ably find a way to get us off the is
land.
Ingle: If you could be any car-
tbon character who would you be?
Why?
Carberry: The Roadrunner be
cause he is fast and tricky.

The goal was set up by Morgen Priest, who
stole the ball off an errant Panther pass, and
then gave it to Haynes, who went one-on-one
with the Panters goalkeeper, Tarra Kohler, for
the game-winning goal.
“It was exciting to score, said Haynes. I tn
a freshman, so I’m still trying to prove myself.
The Bulldogs seemed ready to control the
rest of the game with the early goal, but the
Panthers actually controlled much of the first
half
“We played much better in the second half
than we did in the first half, said Head Coach
Michelle Cornish, according to the UNCA
Web site.
The Panthers almost tied the game when
Anne McIntyre got an open shot on goal from
10 yards out. Bulldog keeper Michelle Mattos
niade the great save to ensure the Bulldog win.
With her three saves for the
game, Mattos recorded her
third shutout of the season.
“I think our defense played
great today,” said Mattos, jun
ior environmental studies ma
jor. “We need to work on get
ting shots on goal. When Joy
scored so early, I felt like we
might end up with a 3-0 or 4-
0 win, but we seemed to taper
off a bit after that goal.”
The Bulldogs picked it up
in the second half, taking the first seven shots
of the half.
The Panthers changed goalies for the sec
ond half of play, replacing Kohler with Andria
Gray. Gray held the UNCA lead at 1-0, record

Panthers, 8-2. They finished the game with the
shot advantage over BSC, 10-5.
“We played well today,” said Stephanie Feltis,

and that’s how Joy got her goal. It was a great
goal and a good way for her to start off the
season. We’re building off of every game and
continuing to improve.

experience.
“These matches are the best thing
to improve my game,” said Vulliez.
“It was tough, and I was really tired;
four matches in two days, plus the
doubles match.”
Doubles play is a different game,
but as good as singles play, accord
ing to Vulliez.
“You get to improve your returns
and volleys,” he said. “You play for
someone, if someone is down, you
have to be there for your partner and
keep the intensity up.”
Three new recruits are arriving
from Brazil, England and Stanford
University in time for the main ten
nis season in the spring semester.
“It should be our best season, next
year on the men’s side,” said Hodges.
“In the spring season it’s UNCA ver
sus Winthrop. Winthrop won the
conference last year. Winthrop is the
team we are looking at on both ends
to try and take down.”
The women’s doubles team of
Morgan Martin and Whitney
Abbott highlighted the weekend fin
ishing as co-champions of B Flight
Doubles Draw.
The two freshmen knocked off
UNC Wilmington, 8-6 and also beat
High Point 8-5. The doubles team
of Natasha Lucid and Rachel Rhoney
advanced to the semifinals in the
tournament.
From the sidelines
with Amher and Laura
Q: If you could go to any sport
ing event what would it be? Why?
A: Amber Saint Clair- I would
love to go to a Yankees-Red Sox
game, especially to a game where the
Sox won. Considering how fierce the
competition between these two teams
is, I think it would be just as inter
esting to watch the fans, as it would
be to watch the game.
A: Laura Kirby-1 would go to a
Dallas Mavericks basketball game. I
have never been to an NBA game and
have always wanted to. I would go
to see the Mavs because I’ve been in
love with Dirk Nowitzki for about
four years now. He’s an amazing bas
ketball player, with the most versa
tility for a big man in the league.
Q: If you could go on a date with
any athlete who would it be?
A: Saint Clair- A lot of people
seem to think David Beckham’s a
regular dreamboat, but I just don’t
see it. However, I certainly wouldn’t
mind spending a little time with
Chris Rk (QB for FSU). He seems
kind of arrogant, so maybe we could
just put him on mute at the begin
ning of the date.
A: Kirby- Like I said above, Dirk
Nowitzki. First of all, he’s 7’0” and
he would make me feel like a shrimp.
which I would enjoy because I usu
ally feel like the giant in society. Also,
he is from Germany, so he could talk
the whole evening about his life ex
periences, and I wouldn’t have to say
a word because he would be so fasci
nating.
Q; The Kansas City Chiefs were
a Super Bowl contender in the pre
season. Now that they are 0-3, do you
think they are still in the running?
A: Saint Clair- The first two or
three games in the season are not nec
essarily a good indicator of how
things will turn out for any team.
You’ve got new players and new plays
to work on, and the three teams that
Kansas City has played gainst so far
are also a bit stronger. I’m not sure
that the Chiefs will make it to the
Super Bowl though. The Patriots
seem to be a guarantee again this year.
A: Kirby- The NFL is crazy and
unpredictable right now. There are
only a handful of teams left out of
the 32 in the league that are without
any losses on their record. That is a
big deal considering we are only three
games into the season. You can’t
count the Chiefs completely out, you
can’t count anybody out. It’s too early
in the season, and the games played
up until this point have been too in
consistent to make strong judgments.
