latty ®ar MM UNC Swimmers Dominate Nike Cup By Tim Solic Staff Writer Junior co-captain Katie Hathaway dominated the competition over the weekend as the North Carolina men’s and women’s swimming teams each took first place in the Nike Cup. In the three-day event, the UNC women’s swimmers obliterated the com ’ petition with 1,161.5 points, compared to .443 for second-place Virginia Tech. On the men’s side, the 14th-ranked Tar Heels amassed 1,113 points. Second place Pittsburgh managed 832 points. “This was the end of a really intense stretch of competition,” UNC coach . Frank Comfort said. “We continue to make fantastic progress.” Hathaway anchored the weekend attack as she won three individual events and was on four victorious relay teams. “Nike Cup is definitely one of our Tar Heels Bounce Back With Win vs. 'Cuse From Staff Reports SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The North Carolina women’s basketball team split •its first two games of the season on the road in upstate New York. The Tar Heels bounced back from (Friday’s 95-89 loss at Buffalo to defeat Syracuse 81-68 on Sunday. LaQuanda Barksdale and Coretta Brown paced UNC against the Orangewomen with 23 points apiece. Barksdale also snagged 13 rebounds, and FOOTBALL From Page 10 1-yard TD run, Bosley Allen returned a punt 63 yards for the first of his three touchdowns on the day. Allen also caught scoring passes of 16 and 13 yards from Curry. “It’s pretty amazing to score three touchdowns,” said Allen, who became the first Tar Heel since Charlie Justice in -1948 to return two punts for scores in the same season. “It kind of reminds me of high school, but this is another level.” Curry’s scoring passes to Allen were his first in five games, dating back to UNC’s Sept. 30 loss to Georgia Tech. Curry broke that streak and a record in the process. He became UNC’s single-season leader in total offense, rolling up 323 yards against Duke to give him 2,676 for the year. Curry, who completed 18-of-24 passes for 218 yards, recorded his first-career 100-yard rushing game. He slashed for 105 yards on 10 carries. Duke’s quarterbacks weren’t quite so productive against the ever-improving UNC defense. Bryant completed 3-of-13 passes for 18 yards before leaving with an injured hand, and Spencer Romine responded with a 7-for-23 effort and two , interceptions in relief. . The Tar Heels limited the Blue Devils to 86 yards of total offense on 35 plays in the first half, and 69 of them came on Duke’s lone scoring play, a touchdown run by freshman Chris Douglas. “The plays we’ve had the potential to make all year, we made them,” said UNC comer back Errol Hood, who intercepted a pass against Duke for the second consecutive year. Now, the Tar Heels hope they get one more game to make those plays. They want one more chance to put together a complete game. “I’m confident we’re going to a bowl game,” senior linebacker Brandon Tlil * 620 Market St. ulllllllil Take 15/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Main St./Southern Village CHARLIE’S ANGELS EHi 2:00-4:00-7:15-9:20 MEN OF HONOR IB 1:30-4:15-7:00-9:35 RUGRATS IN PARIS SI 1:45-3:30-5:15-7:05-9:00 HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS m 1:00-3:15-5:10-7:20-9:30 Bargain Matinees Daily until 5:30 All seats $4.75 www.therlalto.com □□ I DOLBY | |TAP| Um DIGITAL SEATING A Triangle Women's Health Clinic Low cost termination to 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Spoon said. “Especially today, putting up the numbers we did really shows a lot of bowl scouts that we deserve to go to a bowl game. “I’ve still got another game to play.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

VOLLEYBALL From Page 10 Duke was powered in the first game and throughout the match by sopho more Jill Sonne, who posted 14 kills and eight digs in the final. As they have done numerous times this season, the Tar Heels stepped up their level of play after the first game. UNC began to block more effectively in game two and took advantage of the opportunities Duke provided it. “We knew that any team we played was going to come out motivated and give us a good shot early," UNC coach Joe Sagula said. “We knew they had to stay patient, work with what we had there and just get into our game.” The game that UNC played best was one of hard-hitting rallies, where the front-line of Laura Greene, Reis, and Simpson was utilized to the fullest The Tar Heels fared best when rallies were drawn out, as Duke defenders had trouble digging UNC attacks. “We just starting putting more pres sure on them,” Sagula said. “When we’re blocking well, things just start falling in place for us because then we start hitting well.” In fact, the Tar Heel defense was the force that drove the squad. “I thought that their team played some great defense,” Duke coach Jolene Nagel said, “and that is really what kept them in the game and allowed them to win it” The Sports Editor can be reached atsports@unc.edu.

O 2000 TIAA-CREF 08/03 Runners Pursue Place Among NCAA Top 10 By Kelly Lusk Staff Writer Merely qualifying for the NCAA Championships used to be an accom plishment for the North Carolina women’s cross country team. But not anymore. During the past three years, the bar has been raised. Coach Michael Whittiesey expects his team to do more than just participate during today’s competition at 11 a.m. at lowa State. “Our goal should be to be into the top 10 at nationals,” Whittlesey said. “We can do better than that, we can do worse than that, but minimally we should be shooting at a top-10 finish.” The Tar Heels have qualified for the NCAA Championships as a team for the past three years and placed sixth last year. Freshman Shalane Flanagan will lead UNC in its quest for national success. She dominated the field of competition during the regular season - when she won every race but one- and has con tinued her excellence in postseason competition. Her first-place finishes at the ACC Championships and NCAA Southeast Regional helped UNC to two second-place finishes. The one blip on Flanagan’s record this season is her third-place finish at the NCAA Preview Meet, a race held on the same course as today’s competition. “It’s the toughest course I’ve ever run on,” Flanagan said. “It’s hilly and it takes a lot out of you. That’s one of the things I fear most- the course, not the people.” Flanagan hopes to place in the top 10 individually. Earlier in the season, she had 20 points. “I think this might be their breakout game from the outside. I don’t think, on a given night, they can go and hit 10 out of 12 3-pointers again.” The Mountaineers limited UNC to six points in the paint in the first half. But the damage North Carolina’s point guards did from the outside was too much to overcome. Boone, who did not score in the first two games of the season, made all three of his 3-point attempts in the first half and had nine points at the break. Backups Brian Morrison and Jonathan Holmes also got into the act. Morrison hit 2-of-3 from behind the arc in the first half, and Holmes made his only attempt UNC’s trio of point guards combined for 21 points in the first half. “I don’t think my job is as tough as it may seem to an outsider because of the Monday, November 20, 2000 said she felt like a big fish in a little pond. Now that the level of compe tition has gone up, Flanagan doesn’t feel quite so big. “If anything, I’m underconfi dent,” Flanagan said. “I want to run well. As long as I run a good race, I’ll be happy.” Flanagan’s good race will have to be a longer one. UNC junior Kim Timberlake said the team's third, fourth and fifth runners need to work together. The distance of the course has increased to 6,000 meters from 5,000. Junior Kim Timberlake said this could work to UNC’s advantage. “You have to focus for a longer peri od of time,” Timberlake said. “But if you don’t get the kind of start that you want, it gives you more time to correct mis takes and move up in the race.” Timberlake finished fourth at the ACC Championships and placed fifth at district competition. Juniors Beth George and Rebecca Walker and fresh man Victoria Jackson, who have also been key in the team’s late-season run, round out UNC’s top five contenders. “I think we need to be sure to work together, especially our three, four and five runners,” Timberlake said. “In such a big race it’s easy to get lost. With your teammates it’s easier to compete.” The Sports Editor can be reached atsports@unc.edu. players that we have,” Boone said. “I just feel comfortable out there. Right now, I’m about as comfortable as I’m going to get” Joseph Forte found his comfort zone in the second half after scoring just five points before the break. Forte hit his first six shots after halftime and finished with 20 points. Forte said Doherty pulled him aside at the end of the first half and told him to play his game because the score was so lopsided. That score also allowed Doherty and Haywood to share a laugh on the UNC bench in the closing minutes. Haywood initiated it by telling Doherty it was time to give him back his break. “I was real excited,” Haywood said. “It’s a long year not to get any water at practice.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. 7
