UNC Comeback Attempt Falls Short Against Devils
By Matt Terry
Staff Writer
The North Carolina women’s
lacrosse team typically has been a slow
starting and strong-finishing team this
season.
On Wednesday at Henry Stadium,
the Tar Heels started a little too slowly
and didn’t finish quite strongly enough
as they fell to
arch rival
Duke 8-7.
The loss
prevented the
Tar Heels (6-3,

right ACC regular season title.
UNC trailed 8-4 with fewer than 10
minutes remaining in the second half
before finally waking up.
“We’re a good come-from-behind
team, which isn’t a good thing in the
end,” senior Meghann Mohler said.
“Down 8-4, we all kicked it into gear,
but it was a little too late.”
Betsy Gaines cut the lead to three at
the 7:22 mark and then set up Mohler

1:22 later. Mohler’s third goal of the
game put Duke back on its heels.
UNC kept up the offensive pressure,
and Gaines’ third goal made it 8-7 with
3:58 left. However, the Tar Heels’ come
back came up just short.
A comeback wouldn’t have been nec
essary had UNC come out with the
same intensity that the Blue Devils (6-2,
1-1) did.
Duke took the lead just 1:11 into the
first half on an unassisted Kate Kiser
goal. Mohler answered for the Tar Heels
at 19:15, but goals by Kelly Dirks, Tricia
Martin and another by Kiser gave Duke
a 4-1 lead with 8:C 5 left in the first half.
“I think we might have been intimi
dated,” Mohler said. “Duke is the most
physical team I’ve ever played against.”
The Blue Devils’ aggressive defense
kept North Carolina from getting any
sort of rhythm in the first half.
“They out-hustled us in the first half,”
UNC coach Jenny Slingluff Levy said.
“And we could have done a better job of
finishing our shots.”
UNC scored two of the first three
goals of the second half but gave up the

Duke Defense Stones Tar Heels'
By lan Gordon
Staff Writer
The scoreboard at halftime said it all.
The North Carolina women’s lacrosse
team, a squad that had averaged 10 goals
a game this season, trailed Duke 4-2.
Despite taking 12 shots in the first
half, the Tar Heels were unable to capi
talize against a physical Duke defense.
“I think they put really good pressure
on the ball,” UNC coach Jenny Slingluff
Levy said of the Blue Devils’ defense.
“We were beating their front man-to
man, then they had a nice, fast slide, and
we weren’t able to find an opening.
“I think that put a lot of pressure on
our shot, and that’s probably another
reason they weren’t going in.”
UNC struggled early to successfully
move the ball on offense, turning it over
11 times in the first half. Duke’s defense
forced eight of those miscues.
“Asa unit, we wanted to get the ball
back,” Blue Devil goalkeeper Shannon
Chaney said.
Even when the Tar Heels used quick
individual moves to get clean looks at
Chaney, they were unable to put the
ball into the back of the net.

While UNC
struggled to get
into its offense,
Duke controlled
the tempo in the
first half, dominat
ing possession of
the ball.
“We never
talked about slow
ing the game
down at all,”
Duke coach
Kerstin Kimel
said. “We talked
about maximizing
our possessions.
North Carolina coach
Jenny Slingluff
Levy
said Duke put good
pressure on ner
team's shooters.
We knew we couldn’t get in a run-and
gun game with Carolina.”
Kimel also cited the play of Chaney ,i
who normally splits the minutes
between the pipes with Kristen Foster,
as a key to the Blue Devils’ victory.
“Shannon usually plays real well
against Carolina,” Kimel said. “I had a
good feeling she was going to be ready
to play tonight.”
