Snyder K's
Winthrop,
Earns Win
Behind pitcher Kyle Snyder's
10 strikeouts, the Tar Heels
moved to 7-0 in their best
start since the 1942 season.

Staff Writer
Despite Thursday’s frigid tempera
tures and freezing rain, North Carolina’s
Kyle Snyder was on fire.
In UNC’s 7-5 victory against
Winthrop, the junior pitcher went six
innings to earn the Tar Heels their sev
enth win in a row. This undefeated start
marks the best opening to a season
since 1942 when UNC went 9-0.
In the process, Snyder tallied 10
strikeouts, four walks, five hits and two
earned runs
to push his
season record
to 3-0.
“I thought
overall it was

good, considering the conditions,”
Snyder said of his outing. “Everybody
played pretty well behind me, and Dan
(Moylan) caught a great game.”
Even with Snyder’s performance, the
victory didn’t come easily, although the
afternoon started out looking like a
blowout.
With the bases loaded in the bottom
of the third inning, left fielder Tyrell
Godwin continued his sizzling start as
he lined a triple over the center fielder’s
head, scoring all three runs.
After two outs in the next inning, the
scoring continued. Moylan started off
with a solo home run to right, his sec
ond of the year.
The Tar Heels added two more runs
in the inning on an Eagle error and a
single to center by senior Jarrett
Shearin.
Trailing 7-0 in the sixth inning,
Winthrop (6-2) rallied and scored four
runs on a bases-loaded double and a
throwing error by Tar Heel second
baseman Chris LaMarsh.
After Winthrop added another run
and loaded the bases again, UNC coach
Mike Fox brought in reliever Derrick
DePriest, who extinguished the Eagle
rally by inducing a groundout to short- 1
stop.
DePriest earned his first save of the
year, working 2 1/3 innings and collect
ing two strikeouts.
“I was pleased that we hung in
there,” Fox said. “I was pleased to get
the win.”

UNC's women's basketball
team will play Georgia Tech
at 3 p.m. Saturday in the
ACC Tournament's first round.
By T. Nolan Hayes
Assistant Sports Editor
North Carolina’s women’s basketball
team enters play at this weekend’s ACC
Tournament as the No. 3 seed, but the
Tar Heels are still the team to beat in
Charlotte.
UNC (24-6, 11-5 in the ACC) has
won four of the past five ACC
Tournament championships and took
the title last year as the fourth seed.
Because of those facts, the Tar Heels
believe the other league teams are gun-
ning for them in
this year’s tourna
ment, which will
begin today and
conclude Monday
at Independence
Arena.
“There’s going
to be a lot of emo
tion flying, as far
as before the
games and prepar
ing for it,” said
sophomore for
ward Jackie
Higgins, who will
take part in her

first ACC Tournament. “By us winning
four of the last five, I think everybody is
going to see us as their main rival.
“It’s a lot of pressure, but we can han
dle it.”
Along with four other UNC seniors,
starting guard/forward Chanel Wright is
heading to the ACC Tournament for
the fourth time in her career.
Wright said the reason for UNC’s
success in postseason league play is the
team’s attitude and determination to
advance round after round.
“I think we just look at it as anew sea
son,” said Wright, who averages 13.5
points per game. “I know from my fresh
man year, I had to sit there and watch
Clemson and all the other teams play
because we lost the first game, and it
wasn’t a pretty experience.”
Wright hasn’t had to endure that
agony since UNC’s 67-49 first-round
loss to the Tigers in 1996. UNC’s open
