Shf iatlg (Tar MM Cota Blocks Arrington, Seminoles' Shot at Upset Bv Brian Murphy Senior Writer TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Ed Cota delivered - on defense. Routinely criticized for his defensive play, North Carolina’s 6-foot-1 point guard saved Wednesday night’s contest against Florida State with a blocked shot. Men’s Basketball UNC 70 Florida State ... Jbl His block of a Delvon Arrington jumper ignited a Tar Heel fast break that ended with a Jason Capel three-point play, turning a 67-66 deficit into a 69-67 UNC lead with 51.8 seconds. “I knew he was going to make a move. I just timed his shot,’’ Cota said. “Usually I put a hand in their face, but I knew I needed to get a good hand on it.” The defensive stop helped UNC hold off the Seminoles 70-67 at Leon County Civic Center. The win moved the Tar Heels (17-10, 8-5 in the ACC) into a tie for third place with Virginia. The block and two rebounds in the last 40 seconds, including one off Ron Hale’s 3-point attempt to send the game to overtime, salvaged the game for Cota, who struggled again on offense. Against Virginia on Sunday, Cota had four assists and six turnovers. Wednesday, Cota had four assists and five turnovers. The four assists moved him into fourth place on the NCAA all-time list with 962. Without Cota delivering a steady hand at the point, it was up to others to run the Tar Heel show. Jason Capel, Tar Heels Step Into Win Against ECU By Matt Terry Staff Writer The North Carolina baseball team proved Wednesday that if it ever strug gles with its bats, it should just stop swinging.

Dan Moylan scored what proved to be the winning run on the play as the No. 4 Tar Heels beat the 2()th-ranked Pirates 6-4 before 2,005 spectators at Boshamer Stadium. “We have guys on this team with a bunch of guts, and we pride ourselves on not giving in (to pitchers),” McCay said. “It’s a whole attitude that we’re tak ing. We’re taking a lot of pitches and saying, ‘Fine, if you want to come inside, then come with it.’ We’ll turn on it.” The game turned on UNC’s four-run Where the ocean ends , business begins Master of Science in Accountancy (MSA) University of North Carolina at Wilmington Cameron School of Business Prepare fora career in business, even if you're not a business major! • Can be completed in 10-13 months • AACSB accredited Opportunities in: • Public Accounting • Information Systems •• Management Consulting • General Business Classes begin: May 18, 2000 (non-accounting grads) August 16, 2000 (accounting grads) For an application or more information, contact: Monica Mallozzi at 910.962.3903 T TTVT C~^\\T mallozzim@uncwil.edu V-7 1 N V V j i \ I 1 - A mmm • 'km- mm mur sss* s— : ■mm mm -’'"PL- *a* m m mmm am m mmm m ■■■■■■ ■ " ■ w ■ ■ ■ m am mmwmm m mmm ■■ — E | I | ICP ivttp://(vu/iv.tfhc.(<lu/Jtk j] E ~ i|| “Win tickets for 2 on I m H l% ( • .

During that stretch, UNC, which had scored on 12-of-14 possessions with him in the game, went 0-for-5 from the field. The drought allowed FSU (10-14, 5-8) to climb back into the contest. Haywood had a team-high 19 points and finished 7-for-7 from the floor, the fourth time this season he went 7-of-7. Florida State, which topped UNC in January at the Smith Center, relied on Hale and Damous Anderson. Hale, who didn’t start because of a missed class, scored a game-high 22, and Anderson added 18. Arrington had fifth inning. Chad Prosser led off with a liner that short-hopped the left-field wall. Two batters later, Clay Hooper walked and Moylan followed with a run-scoring single that tied the game 3-3. Ryan Karev was hit by a pitch, and Tyrell Godwin, up with the bases loaded, brought in Hooper with an infield single in front of the shortstop. The beanball to McCay and a wild pitch to Sean Farrell that scored Earey capped UNC’s scoring. “That’s the way our season’s been all year,” McCay said. “Everybody gets good at-bats and hits the ball hard when we need to. That’s what we did at UCLA, and that’s what we did today.” Trailing 3-0, UNC (10-0) got on the board in the fourth. With one on and two outs, McCay tripled to left-center field off starting pitcher Foye Minton, bringing in Earey. Ryan Blake followed with an RBI single to left to cut the Pirates’ lead to 3-2. The Tar Heels then batted around in the fifth, using just three hits to do so. “We just take what the other team 10 assists and no turnovers.
