®he Daily (Ear HM PARKER From Page 10 and told them he wasn’t making the UNC game out as anything special. He scored his first bucket on a dunk with 15:21 left in the first half to cut UNC’s lead to 10-4. Parker sat the final 12:28 of the first half after picking up his second foul. Parker had seven touches on the offensive end in the contest and hit 3-of-5 shots, including two dunks. “The minutes he was out there, he contributed a lot,” Kentucky teammate Keith Bogans said. “I just thought this was something big for him. Mentally, it was real big coming back in here for him to have a good game. He still did what we needed him to do out there.” Parker is not allowed to talk the media because of a rule Kentucky coach Tubby Smith has implemented for fresh men. Parker was averaging 10.5 points and 7.8 rebounds coming into the game. UNC center Brendan Haywood pri marily guarded Parker when the Tar Heels played man-to-man defense. Parker’s only two misses were hooks attempted over Haywood. Haywood said he and Parker didn’t talk much, but he did approach the Kentucky freshman after the game. “I just told him ‘We could have used you out there,’” Haywood said. “He smiled and said, ‘I wish I could be here.’” After the conversation, Parker con tinued walking toward the tunnel on his path to the Kentucky locker room. Jesse Parker stood and watched his son the whole way. By the time the No. 42 on his son’s back was barely vis ible, he stood, shaking his head. He couldn’t wipe the smile off his face.

By James Giza Assistant Sport Saturday Editor SAN JOSE, Calif. - Catherine Reddick sat in silence toward the end of the press conference following the North Carolina women’s soccer team’s 2-1 NCAA title-game victory against UCLA. She listened as forward Meredith Florance, sitting direcdy to her right, talked about her four years as a Tar Heel and what it meant to her to leave as part of a national championship team. Reddick’s brown eyes remained fixed on Florance as she spoke. The moment was quite poignant. Reddick, who made her first career start against the Bruins and earned defensive MVP honors for the tourna ment, got her collegiate career going full force, while Florance’s came to an end. “I had a gut feeling that Catherine was ready,” UNC coach Anson Dorrance said. “When we recruited her out of high school, we recruited her to step in and start as a freshman.” But after Reddick spent the entire season backing up senior Julia Marslender, who established herself as a worthy starter during the spring, MEN'S SOCCER From Page 10 “I took my eye off my man for two seconds and watched the ball,” Robinson said. “And they scored a goal, and that’s the way it is, especially at this level against Indiana. You can’t watch the ball - they’re just too good.” The goal was in stark contrast to a foul-heavy, plodding first half. UNC and Indiana combined for six shots before the break as both teams dealt with the rain-soaked condition of the field. But the Indiana goal sparked an offensive revival in the Tar Heels. Much as he did in first- and second-round matches, Bolowich inserted 6-foot-5 Matt Laycock and 6-3 Ryan Kneipper to try to play a more direct game of sending flank passes into the penalty area. “I thought they sent their basketball team out there in the last 20 minutes,” said Indiana coach Jerry Yeagley, who won his 494th career match. “They just kept getting bigger and bigger, and we Tliii I * 620 Market St. ""lilillllim Take 15/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Main St./Southern Village MEN OF HONOR US 1:00-4:00-7:05-9:35 102 DALMATIANS IS 1:30-3:45-7:00-9:15 RUGRATS IN PARIS S 1:15-3:30-5:15-7:10 HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS im 1 2:30-2:50-5:00-7:20-9:30 CHARLIE’S ANGELS tEHS 9:40 Bargain Matinees Daily until 5:30 All seats $4.75 www.therlalto.com □□[DotnyJ |TADi Um P'o ' T A L SEATING * ■*.. -jiii wf-ts WtwmmWK i , **&&&&&, >*.- llfll sifi a m DTH/JEFF POULAND Kentucky forward Jason Parker finishes one of his two dunks against the Tar Heels. Parker made 3-of-5 field goals en route to six points. Dorrance’s deci sion to start her came as a surprise. “I was kind of shocked that he did it,” said Reddick, who had four goals and five assists on the season. “When he told me, I was just excited. My heart started beat ing, and I was like, ‘I really hope I can do well.’ “And then after the first five min- UNC defender Catherine Reddick served a cross that deflected off of a UCLA player for the game-winning goal. utes when you’re the most nervous, I got over it and I was like, ‘OK, I’m ready to play. I’m ready to be out here. I’m ready to be a part of this program, and I’m so excited that I’m here.’” Reddick shouldn’t have been so ner vous after getting her weekend off to such a fine start. She made what was perhaps the key play Friday in UNC’s 2-1 semi final win against top-seeded Notre Dame. In the 63rd minute with the Fighting Irish leading 1-0, forward Ali Lovelace broke through the Tar Heel defense and juked goalkeeper Jenni Branam as she ran out to contest the ball. In came Reddick, streaking in from seemingly out of nowhere to deflect Lovelace’s shot with her torso and knock it out harmlessly past the end line. Her stellar play surely contributed to didn’t have any answers to their size. When they play direct to those big guys, you just have to hang on. And that's what we did.” Indiana did hang on, barely. In the 63rd minute, Hoosier goalkeeper Colin Rogers made a lunging save at the left post to stop a Chris Carrieri head ball. In the 70th minute, the Tar Heels had another chance to tie the match, but Laycock’s header from 4 yards out was cleared from the goal line by Indiana midfielder Tyler Hawley. For the rest of the match, UNC con tinued to have opportunities against a bunkered Hoosier defense that featured eight or nine players behind the ball. The Tar Heels had eight corner kicks, all of which came in the second half. “I was convinced that we would score,” Bolowich said. “I was convinced that we would pull it out. The chances we did create were legitimate chances right in front of the goal.” Laycock had perhaps the Tar Heels’ best opportunity to score with less than Need extra cash for j&i Christmas? / ly v Participate in our life-saving & financially i \ rewarding plasma donation program.

Franklin St, Chapel Hill • 942-0251 M-Th 10-6, Fri 10-4 Dorrance’s comfort with starting her and pushing Danielle Borgman up to the front line, a ploy he said he used to throw UCLA off-balance. Although none of her eight comer kicks resulted in goals, Reddick more than held her own in UNC’s flat-back three defense, contributing to a defensive effort that limited UCLA to three shots. “I told her to trust the system and told • her she was a good soccer player and nobody was going to get by her,” Borgman said she told Reddick prior to the game. “I have faith in her, and I just let her know that when we put her back there, everything’s going to be OK.” Things weren’t OK for UNC, howev er, in the 54th minute when a collision between Reddick and Branam led to the Irish’s only goal and lead of the game. But rather than get down on herself and succumb to frustration, Reddick remained poised. She served a cross in the 83rd minute that glanced off an Irish defender for the game-winning, own-goal. “When it happened, I was really upset,” Reddick said of the collision. “But I think that playing in this program, you get a lot of mental toughness. So because of that, I was able to keep playing, and I didn’t get emotional out of it. I think if I had, it would have been downhill.” Probably. But everything’s looking up for Reddick now.

He settled a Bucy pass near the penalty mark, but his straight-on shot from 8 yards out sailed over the Indiana goal. “(Indiana is) not interested in open ing up and playing an entertaining match at this point in the season - they’re looking for the result,” Bolowich said. “They were looking for the one or two chances where we wouldn’t be pay ing attention or when we would be unbalanced defensively. And they got that, and they made the most of it.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. MEN S SOCCER Indiana 1, UNC 0 iu o 1 1 UNC 000 QoaU: Indians - Mack (Noonan) 58:52.

Sports MEN’S BASKETBALL From Page 10 but he finished with five assists and one turnover. “He was the key, I thought, in the first half,” Kentucky coach Tubby Smith said. “He really set the tone. He was able to penetrate, and that’s what I thought broke them down when we came back from 10 down. He really brought us back with his penetration and energy.” Behind the strength of their bench play and an 18-4 run, the Wildcats led 38-35 at the half. But just as they did to start the game, the Tar Heels came out of the locker room hot. Center Brendan Haywood (18 points, 11 rebounds) scored twice on putbacks and threw down a thunderous dunk to put UNC ahead 48-45 with 16:10 to go- But Haywood disappeared after that. The Wildcats, who played an extended 2-3 zone almost the entire game, began making it more difficult for UNC to get the ball inside. That created open shots on the perimeter for the Tar Heels, but they missed them. Guard Joseph Forte strug gled for the second game in a row, shooting 8-for-22 on his way to 19 points. Eight of those points came in the final 1:05, when the game had long been decided. “It was an ugly 19 points,” said Forte, who was 5-for-16 against Michigan State in UNC’s last game. “The shots weren’t falling once again.” The Wildcats, meanwhile, began con- SEARCH From Page 10 According to the report, Baddour flew to New Orleans on Saturday morn ing. The Saints played Denver on Sunday at the Louisiana Superdome. Bunting, 50, is in his first season as the Saints linebackers coach. He played at North Carolina from 1968-71. According to The News & Observer, Ole Miss athletics director John Shafer granted Baddour permission to speak with Cutcliffe. “But I am confident - certain - we’re not losing David,” Shafer told The News & Observer. “He’ll still be coach ing Ole Miss next season.” Efforts to reach Cutcliffe and Shafer on Sunday were unsuccessful. Cutcliffe, 46, took over at Ole Miss before the 1998 Independence Bowl and has been the head coach for two seasons. Cutcliffe has compiled a 16-8 record in that time. The Rebels are 7-4 this year and are headed to the Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn., on Dec. 28. Cutcliffe spent 16 years at Tennessee before being named the head coach at Ole Miss in December 1998. He served as the Volunteers’ offensive coordinator from 1992-98. He signed a four-year deal at Mississippi worth $1.6 million. Bowl Notes The bowl picture was finalized Sunday, and North Carolina was left on the outside looking in. Virginia received the ACC’s fifth bowl invitation and will play in the Oahu Bowl against Georgia. Two bowls with an at-large bid also declined to pick UNC. Nevada-Las Vegas and Arkansas will meet in the Las Vegas Bowl, and Fresno State will play Air Force in the Silicon Valley Classic. The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

The Wildcats made 7-of-12 3-pointers in the second half against UNC’s matchup zone after going 2-for-14 in the first half. “We just started to pass the ball," “Kentucky is a good team, but we didn’t expect to lose by the amount we lost.

A Bogans trey capped the spurt and gave the Wildcats a 62-50 edge with 10:23 remaining. The Tar Heels, known for great comebacks in Chapel Hill, were unable to muster one.
