®he Bail}} (Ear Brel Boone Excels as Reserve Adam Boone stepped in at point guard after Ronald Curry fouled out with 5:59 left in the game Saturday. By Will Kimmey Senior Writer . Freshman point guard Adam Boone * became the 16th North Carolina basket ball player to start his first game for the Tar Heels. Then after seven games, Ronald Curry returned to the court from the football field, pushing Boone into the role of backup. And lately, Boone has been excelling in that role. “When I go in for Ronald, I expect out of myself to keep things at the same level if we were playing well,” Boone said. “And if we’re a little stagnant, to elevate things.” So when Curry fouled out of Saturday’s win against Georgia Tech with 5:59 remaining, UNC coach Matt Doherty calmly sent Boone in to face the trapping Yellow Jacket defense. And Boone produced. He reached career-highs with 10 points and five rebounds, handed out two assists and hit a crucial jumper as the shot clock expired. “He did a great job,” UNC forward Jason Capel said. “He kept his composure, played smart, knocked in some shots and he’s a great defender. There really wasn’t a letdown when he got in the game.” The same was true in UNC’s victory 111 Tar Heels Dominate Play By Kelly Lusk Assistant Sports Editor There was no way Campbell could pull off a win at Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center oil Monday night. But the Camels’ second seed, Juan ' Osorio, refused to give up. Osorio faced off against North Carolina senior David Cheatwood in singles play. The outcome of the dual Men’s Tennis Campbell I UNC 6 ’> match, a 6-1 UNC victory, was decided ■ long before the two stopped playing. “I want to give everything I can to the court,” Osorio said*“ln the third set I was tired, but I could see that he was tired too, so I pushed and tried to get him more tired than me.” Even with Osorio’s perseverance in his three-set victory, two injuries and a lineup shift after doubles play made it difficult for b Sutton Takes Advantage of Height By Adam D. Hill Staff Writer Candace Sutton has been a consistent producer for the North Carolina women’s basketball team this year. Coming into the Tar Heels’ contest •with Wake Forest, Sutton was averaging •8.3 points and 4.9 rebounds per game. * Sunday, the freshman traded stability •for prominence. * Producing on both ends of the court, * Sutton posted her first career double-dou ble, tallying 18 points and 11 rebounds. This game was Sutton’s fifth straight in which she scored in double figures, and her 11 rebounds established a career high. “Candace is playing with a lot of con fidence,” UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. “We haven’t had a freshman step up that way since Marion Jones did.” Sutton not only stepped up her game, but did so at crucial junctures. Late in the game when WFU was closing in, Sutton’s size and offensive prowess took over. After Wake’s Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick hit a jumper to close the score to 57-55 12th Annual <9®, Valentine’s Dav DTH Contest [howTo Enter Q '' Simply compose a personal ad to a special someone s(| (making sure it’s charming, witty and creative, of course).

Boone played 15 solid minutes while Curry struggled through foul trou ble and a bruised thigh. Boone did n’t score, but he didn’t throw the game away either. He handed out three assists and had just two turnovers against the Duke pressure. “It opened a lot Point guard Adam Boone scored a career-high 10 points and grabbed five boards in UNC's victory. of people’s eyes where we have more than one point guard, where the team doesn’t change, where we can get the job done if I’m not in the game,” Curry said. Sixth Man Here’s to starting the campaign for Julius Peppers as sixth man of the year. Boone put Peppers’ name in the run ning after the forward produced 14 points and four rebounds Saturday against Georgia Tech. “Julius is a big force on our team,” Boone said. “To come off the bench with a guy like Julius Peppers - he’s definite ly one of die best, if not the best guy off the bench in the country.” Peppers has averaged 6.7 points and 4.2 rebounds since joining the team on Dec. 23. The 6-foot-6,270-pounder also provides plenty of muscle down low. Peppers and Georgia Tech forward Campbell to present even a flu-ridden UNC (2-0) with much of a challenge. “I was a litde worried coming into the match because we’re battling the flu,” coach Sam Paul said. “Four of our play ers have the flu. We’re not well.” Paul had no need to worry. Campbell lost Sasa Ljumic during the top-seeded doubles match against fresh man Nick Monroe and junior Marcio Petrone. Ljumic aggravated a back injury and finished the game, but did not make at appearance at his normal No. 3 slot during singles. Hence, the Camel lineup change. Players shifted up a seed, and without their No. 5 player Loic Legoff healthy either, the Campbell lineup left some thing to be desired. The sick Tar Heels claimed victory in all their doubles matches and five out of six singles bouts. Fifth-seed Chad Riley hacked his way to a 6-2, 6-3 victory. The rest of UNC joined him in straight-set singles wins. with 6:20 remaining, Sutton prompdy nailed both free throws, spurring an 11-2 run that sealed the game for the Tar Heels. The two free throws were part of a 4-of-7 performance from the line. From the field, Sutton hit on seven of 13 shots, scoring nine points in each half. Sutton, while not making one of her own, contributed gready to UNC’s bar rage of 3-pointers. The Tar Heels were 9-21 (42.9 percent) from behind the arc. “When people have to move down and play her it opens up our other play ers,” Hatchell said. “We’d draw in the defense and kick it out for that open shot.” The Deacons simply could not match up size-wise with the 6-foot-6 Sutton. WFUs starting lineup had no one taller than 6-1, and Wake’s two tallest bodies - 6-4 LaTisha Pearson and 6-5 Johanna Bjorklund - never stepped on the court “It is kind of hard for people to match up with her,” Juana Brown said. “There aren’t many 6-6 girls in the league. And especially today, they were playing a girl (Olivia Dardy) on her who was 6-1.” Thus, Sutton nearly had free range Michael Isenhour got tangled up under the rim at one point, and Isenhour drew a technical foul for throwing an elbow. “I was just trying to get my arm back,” said the 6-8,248-pound Isenhour. “He just pushes on you and pushes on you and pushes on you. He’s so strong.” Doherty hopes to have Peppers, who thought about leaving school for the NFL in January, on his roster again next sea son. After Peppers threw down one of his now-patented jams against Georgia Tech, Doherty leaned over to Curry for help. “I said, ‘Ronald, he better play bas ketball next year,’” Doherty said. “Ronald kind of shrugged his shoulders. “Like Ronald, he seems to feel more comfortable each and every game.” 'A Real Rebounding Guard' Everyone knows sophomore Joseph Forte can fill it up. He’s scoring nearly 23 points per game, and hit for that many Saturday against Georgia Tech. But it’s actually his rebounding that’s been getting a bit more notice lately. Forte pulled down 16 boards, the most ever for a UNC guard, Thursday against Duke and followed that up with nine more in Saturday’s win. “We’ve played two teams that take a lot of 35,” Doherty said. “When there’s long shots, there’s long rebounds and you have to go after the bail. And he’s built for that type of thing. He’s quick, he’s strong, he has quick hands and a nose for the bas ketball. He’s a real rebounding guard.” The Sports Editor can he reached at sports@unc.edu. Except for the match that wouldn’t end. Cheatwood’s strong serve and fast shots couldn’t stifle Osorio’s endurance. Every skilled shot Cheatwood made, Osorio rallied. He ran relentlessly all over the court returning shots that Cheatwood never expected to come back over the net. In the end, Osorio’s endless energy won the match 6-7,6-4, 6-4. “I just didn’t have that much energy from the start, and it just got worse,” Cheatwood said. “He just got more balls back. I had the bigger game, but I got tired and started making quick errors, trying to end the point early.” Despite UNC’s dominance over the rest of the field, the win was not taken for granted. “When we play a team like this we can work on a lot of things,” Monroe said. “It will help us in the next match.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. down low. “Candace has greatly improved,” WFU coach Charlene Curtis said. “She has given them a true low-post presence and helped their shooters shoot better. “They are a much improved team and she has a lot to do with it.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. “'iiiiinina Take 15/501 South towards Pittsboro Exit Main St./Southern Village SAVE THE LAST DANCE (pcTD) 1:30-4:15-7:15-9:40 WEDDING PLANNER [KHS 1:00-4:00-7:00-9:20 CHOCOLAT OBHS 1:15-3:45-7:05-9:30 CAST AWAY E 32 12:30-3:30-6:45-9:35 Bargain Matinees Daily until 5:30 All seats $4.75 www.therlalto.com □□[”] fTAD, UM 0 ' O ' T A l SEATING Sports THE LOWDOWN ON TONIGHrS GAME ©BRENDAN HAYWOOD,7-0 / Burned Vte forest (or 24 poir* and 10 boards / \ *) lan. 6 win; leads ACC in rejections (3.16 bpg).. ®KRIS LANG, 6-11 JASON CAPEL, 6-8 Averages 13.2 points and Mtarftr \*y Has madeaToointet inl9of2l shoots .563 flnfg (third in ACC).

San Jose Picks Carrieri No. 1 UNC junior Chris Carrieri is one of four former Tar Heels selected first overall in a major professional draft. By Matt Terry Assistant Sports Editor Following the lead of the North Carolina men’s basketball team, former UNC forward Chris Carrieri claimed his own No. 1 on Monday at the Major League Soccer Super Draft. Carrieri, drafted first overall by the San Jose Earthquakes, becomes just the fourth former Tar Heel selected No. 1 in a major professional league’s draft. Basketball playersjames Worthy and Brad Daugherty were the first selections in the NBA draft in 1982 and 1986, respectively. Baseball player BJ. Surhoff went No. 1 in 1985. “Being picked No. 1 overall, that just overwhelms me with happiness,” Carrieri said in a statement released by UNC. “I’m extremely excited about playing in San Jose for the Earthquakes, i know a lot is expected of me, and. I look forward to the challenge." " Carrieri led the nation in scoring as a junior during the 2000 season, scoring 25 goals in 24 games (a UNC record) for the 21-3 NCAA quarterfmalists. He forfeited his final year of collegiate eligibility Jan. 17, when he signed with Nominate Outstanding Individuals for Honorary Societies!

Also drafted Monday were for mer Tar Heels Eddie Robinson (20th overall by San Jose) and Caleb Norkus (50th overall by D.C. United). Former Tar Heel Chris Carrieri led the nation in goals last season with 25 goals scored in 24 games. Carrieri and Robinson will now make their home in the Bay Area, an area that has not been kind to the local MLS club. The ’Quakes - known from 1996-99 as the Clash - have made the playoffs only once in club history. Last season, San Jose finished at the bottom the MLS standings with a record of 7-17-8 (29 points). The ’Quakes also had the worst offense in the league, scoring 35 goals throughout the 32-game season. That San Jose picked last season’s most prolific goal scorer in collegiate soccer is not all that surprising. “I’m coming to score some goals,” Carrieri said in a statement released by MLS. “We’re going to turn this thing around, and we’re heading to the play offs." Robinson, a defensive midfielder, Tuesday, February 6, 2001 Game: No. 1 UNC at No. 19 Wake Forest Time: 9:05 p.m. Location: Joel Coliseum, Winston-Salem Radio: WXII-830 AM Television: Raycom/Jefferson Pilot Series Record: UNC leads 145-57. Keys for UNC: It's a broken record. Offensively, the Tar Heels need to get the ball inside first and then shoot from the perimeter if Wake collapses. Defensively, keeping Dawson from getting open looks and stopping Howard from driving should be top priorities. Keys for Wake Forest The Demon Deacons must shoot better. Wake is hitting 43.6 percent from the field in its last 10 games, down from 51.4 percent in its first 11. Songaila, who has fouled out five times this season, must keep himself on the floor. UNC Bench: PF Julius Peppers gets better and better. He's coming off a career-high-tying 14 points against Georgia Tech on Saturday. PG Adam Boone posted career highs of 10 points and 28 minutes in that game. Wake Forest Bench: The Deacons are deep. Wake's bench has outscored the opposition's reserves in 20 of 21 games and has tallied at least 20 points 19 times. G Robert O'Kelley (11.9 ppg) is always dangerous. Final Analysis: UNC is on a roll, and the Deacs have been struggling. But Wake is still one of the nation's best teams, and tonight is a good time to show it Prediction: Wake Forest 74, UNC 71. Compiled by T. Nolan Hayes was named second-team All-ACC in 2000, and he tallied three goals and two assists. Robinson will be a part of a newly revamped Earthquake squad that promises a major roster overhaul. “This is a dream come true,” Robinson said from his home in Chapel Hill. “Soccer’s the love of my life, and to do it professionally is just amazing. “Sanjose’s definitely rebuilding, and they don’t have anyone who plays defensive midfield. So if I make a good impression, then I’ll play.” Norkus also was named second-team All-ACC last season, ranking second in the conference with 43 points. Norkus, who ranks fourth in school history in both goals (40) and points (101), joins the three-time MLS champions in D.C. United, however, is coming off its worst season in team history, a last place finish in the Eastern Division and just one point ahead of San Jose in the overall standings. “It’s great for Caleb,” Robinson said. “Caleb’s a great guy, a great player. He’s great for morale; the team that gets him is lucky to have him.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. PLAZA THEATRES I■■ Elliott Rd.
