®l ft Hatty (Ear Hrri UNC Looks to Change Luck In Field Hockey Tourney By Brad Broders Assistant Sports Editor It could be an epic free-for-all, a weekend pitting three of the top four ranked teams in the national poll against one another. It is the ACC field hockey tour nament, and one of three evenly matched teams - North Carolina, r^^lailytarheeUoml Tiie teams of the toughest field hockey conference are ready to rumble. Maryland and Wake Forest - is likely to capture the tournament crown. “I feel that all the teams are so strong athletically that the conference is piled up,” said Maryland coach Missy Meharg. “I think the tournament is open for anybody to take.” From 1983 to 1996, the Tar Heels breezed through the ACC tourney, win ning 13 conference titles. But since 1997, the ACC Tournament has been a nightmare for No. 3 seeded UNC. Since that year, the Tar Heels have stumbled in the first round each year, including a 6-1 thrashing at the hands of the Demon Deacons two years ago. Teasley Not Back Quite Yet UNC guard Nikki Teasley violated an NCAA rule when she inadvertently played in a pickup game last January.

We are fired up, and we want to beat them.” For UNC to break through against WFU, the defensive backfield must con tain the Deacons’ front line. That line includes Jennie Shelton and Heather Aughinbaugh, who scored the two deciding goals against the Tar Heels in their 2-0 win Oct. 6 in Winston- Salem. Karen Shelton said she was disap pointed in North Carolina’s control of its defensive circle, a problem that was rec- to the night’s other subplots. Tar Heel guard Nikki Teasley, who sat out last season due to private rea sons, didn’t play in Thursday’s game and won’t play in UNC’s season opener against George Mason on Nov. 9. According to a pregame press release, Teasley received a one-game suspension for violating the NCAA’s outside-compe tition rule by playing in a recreational game in January. “She inadvertently, unknowingly played in a game,” said UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell, who said she didn’t play Teasley on Thursday because she want ed to play the team that would start in the season opener. Freshman guard Leah Metcalf picked up the Tar Heels’ offensive slack, scoring 24 points and dishing out six assists.

NC tiffed during the week’s practices. “I think the key is going to be disci pline,” said North Carolina senior Abby Martin. “I think it is going to be important to have numbers behind the ball, getting everyone back on defense and then hav ing discipline when we are back.” Should the Tar Heels make it to Sunday, they could face No. 1 seed Maryland, a team that edged UNC 1-0 in overtime Oct. 20. The Terrapins are led by the trio of Colleen Barbieri, Dina Rizzo and Lucy Morris, who have scored 14, 12 and 11 goals respectively in 2001. Maryland’s most significant strength, however, might be its play away from home. The Terps are 2-0 this season in ACC games on the road, and 4-1 overall. That record might collide with UNC, which has amassed a 24-6 record at Henry Stadium since 1999. Said fresh man forward Kelsey Keeran, “(The seniors) were talking about how there is nothing like winning the national cham pionship, but I think winning the ACC championship would be a nice start.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. All-ACC senior Abby Martin said the key to UNCs success will be discipline on defense. fast break effectively against Premier Players, a team made of former college stars, including former UNC forward LaQuanda Barksdale.

With bowl game hopes resting squarely on the line, to boot. Your senior starter’s got a tender hamstring? Better start him anyway. But North Carolina’s Darian Durant is no ordinary freshman. Not after split ting time with Ronald Curry during the five games prior to Thursday night’s game at Georgia Tech, a stretch in which the Tar Heels had gone undefeated. No, this freshman has what most do not: experience, confidence, savvy and experience - did someone mention that already? It almost was enough Thursday night -but not quite. With a composure and tenacity that belied his years, Durant completed 22 of 37 passes for 286 yards and three touchdowns as the No. 22 Tar Heels suf fered a 28-21 loss at the No. 23 Yellow Jackets. His touchdowns cut into Georgia Tech leads of 7-0,13-7 and 28-14, but in the end, there just weren’t enough big plays to compensate for an anemic rushing attack. “Darian is a gamer, and we’ve got some receivers who can make plays,” said UNC coach John Bunting, who has maintained that Curry will reclaim his starting job when he’s healthy. “We were very, very close to making other plays, and we did not.” Durant was filling in for Curry, who injured his left hamstring in the Tar Heels’ 38-3 win at Clemson. It marked the first time that a freshman quarter back started for the Tar Heels since Luke Huard did it four times in the 1999 season after Curry ruptured his Achilles tendon against the Yellow Jackets. Durant also entered the game with 949 passing yards, leaving him 27 shy of Curry’s UNC freshman record. He completed his first pass on the tSdifiM laKHity f !HC.

That gave him 1.5 consecutive completions, going back to UNC’s 30-24 win against Virginia on Oct 13, which is believed to be a UNC record. He nearly threw an interception dur ing that series and had another close call on the next one. He finished the first quarter 3 of 8 for 14 yards. “Early on, I was kind of tentative about my decision-making,” said Durant, who was 26th in the nation in pass efficiency entering the game. “But I think as the game went on, I settled down, and I think I played pretty well.” In the second quarter, he led the Tar Heels on a 65-yard touchdown drive, capping the series with a 30-yard strike to wideout Kory Bailey. Durant had sus tained that drive with an 18-yard toss over the middle to wideout Bosley Allen, a completion that secured him the freshman yardage record. On his next drive, he hit Georgia Tech safety Will Glover in the chest for an interception when UNC wideout Brandon Russell slipped and fell. But he would rally the Tar Heels’ offense -a couple times. First, he found wideout Sam Aiken in the right side of the end zone for a c/moaiNjQ gs fRI SAT 6 SO. 9 40 ISAT S'JN MATS < 30 i SUN-THURS 7 30 MOVING MOMENT UVE SEEN REMARKABLY WISE' IN ANY FILM THIS YEAR' “LIVELY AND PROVOCATIVE * 7:00. 9:20.

After being dragged down on a key third-and-two early in the fourth quar ter, Durant drove the Tar Heels 76 yards on nine plays, hitting Aiken for a 21-yard score that sliced the Yellow Jackets’ lead to 28-21 with 5:29 left in the game. “They did a lot of things, as far as blitz ing and stunts and things of that nature,” said Bailey, who caught three passes for 51 yards. “And he did a great job of stay ing in the pocket when he needed to, moving around a little bit when he need ed to, and he put the ball on target” Although it would prove fruidess, Durant Hashed another quality he has honed this season, one that bodes well for the Tar Heels’ future: leadership. “He was motivating everyone,” said UNC wideout Bosley Allen, who had nine receptions for 114 yards. “We knew we had to step it up as an offense. He just had a lot of confidence in us, and we drove down. But we just didn’t have enough time, I guess.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.
