Against the Cavaliers on Saturday, the Tar Heels had one more chance to notch an upset.

But around that time, experience over whelmed exuberance, and the Cavs (10-3) mounted a run that gave them a 3-1 cush ion. And UNC, which had grown accus tomed to having bigleads, neverresponded. “Look at their scores this season it didn’t look like they'dbeen trailing a whole lot,” Virginia coach Julie Myers said. “So this was a situation they had never been in before. We have the experience to make the difference.” Cavalier attacker Kate Evans tied the game four minutes after Falk’s score when she worked her way free near the goal and slammed in abid.
