LEE TAFT SENIOR WRITER At the beginning of the season, the North Carolina men’s soccer team wanted to change two things from last year: one, win conference games, and two, make the NCAA tournament. UNC accomplished the first goal, win ning games against conference opponents Duke and Wake Forest. But the Tar Heels lost several close games in the last half of the season, in cluding a come from behind win for South Carolina and a loss to non-conference opponent Radford, lowering their favor with the NCAA selection committee. UNC now finds itself entering this weekend’s ACC tournament in Charlottesville, Va. as the No. 6 seed, needing to win the tournament to net an NCAA berth. Despite being one of the lower seeds in the tournament, UNC coach Elmar Bolowich said there is no additional pres sure on his team. Brown says Louisville game a blessing BY KURT TONDORF ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR North Carolina coach Mack Brown sees the Tar Heels’ performance Satur day against Louisville as a mixed bless ing. On one hand, it revealed some defi ciencies in which UNC needs to improve before next weekend’s critical matchup with Virginia. But at least now the Tar Heels will be less likely to make the same mistakes twice. “If we scored 55 points and beat Lou isville to death it would have been the worst thing to happen to us," Brown said at his Monday press conference. Virginia, aloserto Clemson lastweek end, dipped to No. 25 in this week’s Associated Press poll. But Brown doesn’t expect the contest to be any less difficult for his squad. The Tar Heels haven’t beaten the Cavaliers in Charlottesville, Va., since 1981. “We’ll probably have to play better than we’ve played all year to win on the road this week,” Brown said. Two more records set to fall It may not have come at the most opportune time, but comerback Dre’ Bly broke UNC’s single season interception mark on Saturday. Bly, a redshirt freshman, picked offhis Women’s soccer top seed in NCAAs STAFF REPORT The UNC women’s soccer team finds itself in a familar spot as it enters the NCAA tournament on Sunday. It is con sidered the top team in the country. UNC (20-1) was surprisingly awarded the toumey’s top seed Monday by the NCAA. The Tar Heels will meet Will iam & Mary (14-8) on Fetzer Field at 1 p.m. in its quest for a 14th national title. The Tar Heels defeated the Tribe 6-0 in a regular season earlier this season at the Duke Women’s Classic in Durham. “Our team feels good about them selves going into the tourney,” UNC coach Anson Dorrance.

I have always thought that the No. 7 is capable of knocking off the No. 2.” In the first round, UNC (8-7-1,2-3-1 ACC) will face No. 3 seed Wake Forest at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday. Wake is one of two teams the Tar Heels defeated this season. UNC took the contest 1-0 on Nov. 3. Bolowich said he feels no advantage or disadvantage in having beaten his op ponent already this season. “It doesn’t matter that we’ve played Wake,” he said. “We realize that its a do or die situation if we want to continue our season. We aren’t locked into the NCAAs, and our guys realize that. This is something they wanted to accomplish this season.” ninth pass of the year in the first quarter Saturday when the Cardi nals’ attempted a pass out of punt formation on 4th and 22 from the UNC 40. Bly stepped out of bounds with the ball at the UNC 5-yard line when he should have batted it down. “And what’s neat about this football team is that he knew it before he got to the boundary,” Brownsaid. “Becausehehad about seven of the older guys run and tell him.” Bly’s comerback teammate, sopho more Robert Williams, tied Thomas Smith’s record for most pass breakups in a season with 16. And defensive end Greg Ellis, a junior, is one half-sack away from breaking Marcus Jones’ school record 24. Ellis had three sacks against the Cards, moving him past Lawrence Taylor to second place on the all-time list with 23.5. Brawn: Bowl talk still premature With two games left, North Carolina tied Colorado f6i sixth place in the AP polls this week, its highest ranking since 1983. “As I told our players yesterday: enjoy real focus must lie in the final four, to which the Tar Heels have earned a trip 14 straight times. This year’s goal is Santa Clara, Calif., where the NCAA champi onship will take place on Dec. 8. UNC could meet fourth-seeded Con necticut if the higher seeds progress. But while the tourney now features four or five teams that can compete on the Tar Heels’ level, the most anticipated matchup —a rematch with Notre Dame cannot occur until the final.

Tar Heels ranked Bth in AP hoops poll STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS North Carolina’s men’s basketball team returned to the top 10 on Monday night, as it garnered the No. 8 spot in the AP Preseason Basketball Poll. The Tar Heels return three starters, two additional experienced players and a crop of new talent that is expected to make the 1996-97 UNC team the deep est coach Dean Smith has boasted in three years. Cincinnati, returning three starters from a team that fell one step shy of the Final Four last season, was No. 1 poll, the school’s first top ranking in 34 years. The Bearcats were a runaway choice of the national media panel, receiving 34 first-place votes and 1,641 points. Kan sas, which will have to play at least the early part of the season without injured guard Jacque Vaughn, was second with 15 No. 1 votes and 1,548 points, six more than defending national champion Ken tucky, which had 13 first-place votes. Wake Forest, which has the only re turning All-America in center Tim Duncan, was fourth with six No. 1 votes and 1,524 points. UCLA, which will enter the season under 32-year-old interim head coach Steve Lavin, was fifth and was followed it,” Brown said. “Enjoy being sixth in the country. It doesn’t happen that often for anybody.” Talk of receiving an at-large bid from the Bowl Alliance to compete in a top tier bowl has surfaced, but Brown knows from past experience that talk is cheap. “We’ve been in the Fiesta Bowl hunt twice before and sat there and had no control," he said. “So it’s really interest ing to me ... for everybody to have their opinions everyday when nobody has a clue. I think there’s too many things that can happen, and there’s too much time left.” r THE GHOST AND HU D.y 3-05 THE DARKNESS Bile, 7:18, 9:28 TUIUkIED ® Dally 3:00 > 1 mil WCn 5:00,7:20^ BAD MOON k ’•’S’ SET IT OFF* J&SOCIATE” “” ' Th.LONG ioiP NIGHTLY | ~6BOPM6BT , FLY AWAY HOME* 8 —- H'OH SCHOOL US nightly , high asi Sr sa Mb ,ss DEAR GOD” 3 ■*£!£, jARGE^IIT l Dally 3:45, 7:05, 9:40 .

The No. 1 preseason ranking wasn’t bad for Kentucky last year as the Wild cats went on to their sixth national cham pionship. Allbuttwoschoolsinlastyear’s preseason Top 25 No. 14 Missouri and No. 19 Virginia advanced to the NCAA tournament. Eight of the teams in this year’s poll weren’t in last season’s final poll and all of the them except Fresno State were ranked at some point of the season. The ranking for Fresno State, which is beginning its second season under coach Jerry Tarkanian, was its first since 1984. Massachusetts was No. 1 in the final poll last season and the Minutemen were beaten by Kentucky in the national semi finals. Mississippi State, which lost to Syracuse in the other Final Four semifi nal, lost all five starters and didn’t receive a single point in the preseason poll. The Top 25 was again dominated by the bigger conferences, with all the teams coming from nine leagues. The ACC led the way with four teams, with three (Wake, UNC, Duke) in the Top Ten. Fiveconferences—Big 12, Pac-10, West ern Athletic, Big East and Big Ten each had three teams in the rankings. lIBOUND E oi*'o.™' .l IhRSTWIVESCIUB EUi I:15-T0;I5| !■ WMMY-TIMBIWfAIISUni M WDAV-SWDAY ALL SEATS SI.BO J 1 TIME TO KILL (R) ££ia!al*7H,HHJ IWOMENON J INDEPENDENCE DAY MU TAR HEEL SPORTS SHORTS TODAY at CAROLINA!
