4 Friday, September 27,1996 Men’s soccer looks to satisfy hunger vs. UVa. BY M. LEE TAFT ASSISTANT SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR Only one thing will satisfy the North Carolina men’s soccer team’s hunger: an ACC win. North Carolina has not won a regular season league match since beating Wake Forest 2-1 in 1994. UNC has lost its last eight regular season conference matches. And when the Tar Heels (2-2, 0-1 in the ACC) host No. 2 Virginia (6-0-2) in a 2 p.m. match Sunday at Fetzer Field, UNC will try to avenge the 7-1 mauling it received at the hands of the Cavaliers lastyearin Charlottesville. Inthatmatch, the Tar Heels’ lone score came from an own-goal by a Virginia defender. UNC coach Elmar Bolowich said the Yellow Jackets slam Blue Devils for third conference victory THE ASSOCIATED PRESS ATLANTA Joe Hamilton hooked up with Harvey Middleton on two touch down passes, C.J.

Analysis/Prediction: Forget that North Carolina isn't playing in Kenan Stadium; forget that this is Florida State's first real challenge at home. Saturday marks the Tar Heels' shot to climb to the "next level"—top 10 college football. And although Coach Mack Brown doesn't like to talk about that 'next lever anymore, a win Saturday would mean that UNCs 341 start isn't a fluke. FSU has the edge in special teams, but if UNC can force more turnovers, the Tar Heels have a shot Running back Leon Johnson must have a career day, and QB Chris Keldorf can't get the jitters in front of a hostile crowd. UNC must play a perfect game, but it's got a shot UNC 27, FSU 20 COMPILED BY ROBBI PICKERAL k* M Jana ■ iLi I J W, y JKIhl iMR | riSS 1 -! BJ MY DEGREE GOT ME THE INTERVIEW. ARMY ROTC GOT ME THE JOB. Things got pretty competitive for this job. I’m sure my college degree and good grades kept me in the running. But in the end it was the leadership and management expe- rience I got through Army ROTC that won them over. Army team needs to improve on its showing last weekend against Furman to stand a chance against the Cavaliers. “What’s important for me to recog nize is that we admit that we didn’t play well, we played poorly,” he said. “It speaks for the team to play poorly and win the game, especially so for a good team. We played much better on Friday (against No. 17 Portland), we know that. But we still came through with a result. “We are confident heading into Vir ginia. They will play differently than Furman, and we will play differently against them than we did against Furman." Junior midfielder Carey Talley and the scoring tandem of seniors Temoc and Victor Suarez lead UNC. Victor Suarez had the game-winning offense in the opening 30 minutes and a 38-0 lead. Yellow Jackets coach George O’Leary sat his starting offense and defense in the second half. Duke (04, 0-2 ACC) managed only 95 yards 34 coming on a pass on a fake-punt —and five first downs in the opening half in continuing its worst start since going 0-7 in 1983. ARMY ROTC THE SMARTEST COLLEGE COURSE YOU CAN TAKE For details, visit Room 202, Chase Hall or call 962-5546 or (800) 305-6687 goal against Port land, and Talley had both UNC goals in the win against Furman. “We’re just looking forward to our next game,” said Talley. “We’re just taking it step by step. “Hopefully we can beat two teams who were in the fi nal four last year (Portland and UNC goalkeeper DIMITRY DROUIN said UNC respects UVa. but doesn't fear the Cavaliers. UVa.) and get ourselves back up in the rankings after what happened with the forfeits.” The Tar Heels have beaten Virginia Hamilton, a redshirt freshman, was 15-of-19 in the opening half for 207 yards and touchdowns of 19 and 63 yards to Middleton, the conference’s leading re ceiver. Middleton had seven catches for 129 yards in the first half. Williams had 103 yards on nine car ries, including a 32-yard TD scamper, before intermission. FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 1 year? UNC’s rough, rugged defense that is ranked No. 2 in the nation. “They’re coming at you all the time,” FSU coach Bobby Bowden said. “It’s a different style, or either they have a dif ferent attitude. You can take the same style, and one team will have an attitude and die other doesn’t, and it makes a little difference.” FSU, though, has always boasted an attitude on ‘D. ’ That’s why the ’Noles are ranked No. 1 in the country. Linebackers Daryl Bush, Vernon Crawford and Henri Crockett are the staple in the middle. Brown said earlier this week he expected to see the best six linebackers in the country when they swap series with UNC’s Kivuusama Mays, Brian Simmons and James Hamilton. “UNC’s defense as good as FSU’s defense?” Bowden asked. “I hope not. It looks like it. We’ll find out Saturday.” Offensively, the game should boast a duel of the backs, as FSU’s W arrickDunn ROTC taught me responsibility, self discipline and leadership. Those are things you just can't learn from a textbook. I don't know where I'd be right now if I hadn't enrolled in Army ROTC, but I do know one thing for sure ... I wouldn't be here. SPORTS only twice in their last 23 meetings with the Cavaliers, a streak that dates back to 1979. The Cavaliers were NCAA champi ons from 1991-1994 and were in the final four last year. While Virginia may have slipped out of its national championship form, the Cavaliers are still a force to be reckoned with. Virginia finished first in the confer ence last year with a record of 4-0-2. The Wahoos’ only loss for the season came at the hands of Duke in the semifi nal match of the NCAA men’s soccer tournament. “Two years ago we spanked them 5- 1,” UNC goalkeeper Dimitry Drouin said. “We went up there (last year) and they spanked us 7-1. So it’s back and fori. Tech scored on all but one of its five first-half possessions, and did not punt. After Hamilton hit Middleton on the 19-yard TD pass with 1:45 left in the opening quarter, linebacker Jimmy Clements recovered a fumble and raced 60 yards 1:41 later for a 14-0 lead. The Yellow Jackets broke it open with 24 points in the second quarter. Williams’ 32-yard run made it 21-0 (89 yards per game) and UNC’s Leon Johnson (85 yards) rank first and sec ond, respectively, in the league. LJ struggled in the first halves of UNC’s last two games but came out strong in the second stanza last weekend to pull in more than 100 yards. And Dunn is always hard to catch. “It’s like he has grease on him," UNC safety Omar Brown said. “I just try to wrap him up, grab cloth and pray that my teammates help me out.” But ifNorth Carolina wants a chance Saturday, it must halt its special teams bobbles. To date, UNC has had two punts blocked, a field goal slammed back and has missed an extra point. “Our kicking game is better, but they have a senior punter, a senior kicker,” Brown said. “Our guys are freshmen, and that’s a key to the ball game. Our young kicking game has to play very well this weekend.” In the end, though, it all comes down to Brown’s now-unutterable “next level.” Can UNC make it? “This year we’re just worried about Carolina and what we can do to play our “They are a great team. We respect them, but we don’t fear them.” Virginia has shown moments of weak ness this season, having three games go into overtime. UVa. tied No. 17 Cal St. Fullerton 2-2, beat No. 5 Saint Louis 2-1, and tied conference foe Maryland 1-1. UNC has an added advantage in play ing the game at Fetzer Field. UNC was 8-3 at home last season, while going3-5-l when away from Chapel Hill. “It’s our home field, and we think that we should beat every team we play on our home field,” Drouin said. “We’re not scared of them, we’re just going to take it to them. They’re No. 2 in the country but right now rankings don’t mean anything. We’re just going to play our game.” and Brad Chambers kicked a 43-yard field goal 5:27 before the break. Only 51 seconds later, it was 31-0 when defensive back Nathan Perryman picked off Matt Rader’s pass and went 30 yards for a TD. Tech capped the outburst by going 92 yards in six plays, capped by Hamilton’s 63-yard pass play to Middleton 25 sec onds before intermission. DIB foottill Teg 25 IfMfcfttfeft 364 W 57 3 3.

STAFF REPORT The North Carolina women’s soccer team crushed Florida State 9-0 on Wednesday in Tallahassee, Fla. The Tar Heels (7-0,3-0 in the ACC) scored seven times in the first period against the over matched Seminoles (6-3,0-3). UNC opened the slaughter during the first minute when junior Robin Confer knocked in a cross from Tiffany Roberts. Less than 10 min utes later, midfielder Cindy Parlowtappedina pass from Laurie Schwoy for a 2-0 advantage. The Tar Heel fir ing squad contin ued its barrage on FSU goalkeeper Melissa Juhl. Rob erts delivered the next bullet, redi recting a Parlow header into the net. UNC junior forward ROBIN CONFER scored the first goal against Florida State. During the 30th minute, senior Debbie Keller won the battle for a loose ball and sent a shot from six yards past Juhl to give UNC a 4-0 lead. North Carolina’s substitutes then re ceived the opportunity to boost their sta tistics, and they did. Midfielder Nicole Roberts took a pass from Keller inside the penalty box and delivered a strike to the far left comer. Aubrey Falk took control of a loose ball and ripped a shot that tickled the twine. Rakel Karvelsson ended the first-half bonanza by heading in a Nel Fettig cross with two minutes remaining. The scorekeeper had a chance to cool off in the second period, as the Tar Heels tallied only two goals. Confer outran an FSU defender en route to her second goal of the contest. Sophomore Robyn Brallier then scored the first goal of her career when she tapped in a loose ball to wrap up the scoring. UNC’s attack scored nine of its 15 shots, while the Seminoles mustered only one shot.
