Inf Sports cal,” she said of the offense. “Other times, it’s just really disjointed. We tried to create tempo with our defense, but we kind of got distracted from our game.” But UNC recovered to score the con test’s last five goals, rediscovering the quick, crisp passing game that allowed it to pounce on the Buckeyes early. Kellie Thompson had four goals and an assist for UNC. Teammates Betsy Gaines, Amy Havrilla, Erin Mclnnes and Christine McPike all talked two goals.

The Tar Heels answered a goal by OSU’s Lauren Cochran, which cut the lead to 4-1, by scoring three times. “I think our execution wasn’t as good as it should be,” Thompson said. “Our defense and offense need to be on at the same time for us to be successful.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

The rain was steady. And the putts weren’t falling. Put simply, that describes North Carolina’s weekend at The Intercollegiate at MacGregor Downs. The men’s golf team finished ninth in the 12-team tour nament, won by Wake Forest. UNC was 24 shots behind the Demon Deacons. Senior Max Harris shot a final-round 74, finishing in a tie for ninth. His 217 left him 11 strokes behind East Tennessee State’s Chris Wisler, who set a tourna ment record with a 10-under 206. Rain marred Saturday’s play, causing puddles around the greens and in fair way valleys. The players were able to lift and clean the hall before each shot, but the weather was a force throughout. “It’s definitely a drain,” said Harris about the rain. “There are more things to consider: the club heads get wet, keep the shafts dry, wind. It changes everything a little bit.” Harris entered the final round of the 54-hole event tied for fifth, but putting troubles on the back nine hurt him. He three-putted twice in his final nine holes. But Harris was not the only Tar Heel struggling with his putting. UNC coach John Inman called it the most important reason for the Tar Heels’ poor finish. BRILLIANT! A MUST-SEE!

I don’t think we have that feeling right now.” UNC entered the final round in fifth place, but fired four 74s on Saturday. In addition to Harris, seniors Paul Daniel and Ted Haley and junior Rob Simmons each shot 2-over. “We need to start shooting under par. We’re shooting a lot of 74s and 755, which aren’t bad, but they add up. We need a 67 or a 65,” Inman said. “It’s been frustrating. We’re trying hard, but we’re just not getting the job done.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. Ojpß PLAZA THEATRES ■ B Elliott Rd.
