Uhr Daily Slar Hppl Men's Soccer Battles Unknown for Cup Bid Bv lan Gordon Assistant Sports Editor Maybe it wasn’t that much of a sur prise, after all. After his team’s 2000 Northeast Conference title and first-round NCAA Tournament loss, Fairleigh Dickinson men’s soccer coach Seth Roland sat down with his team and laid out his objectives for the coming season. He highlighted two possibilities: Not only could his team repeat as NEC champs, but Roland thought FDU could win a couple of games in the NCAAs. Nearly a year later, Roland’s com ments seem prophetic. The Knights (17-6) ride into Chapel Hill on Saturday on a 10-game winning streak to play seventh-seeded North Carolina in an NCAA quarterfinal at 1 p.m. at Fetzer Field. The winner advances to the final four of collegiate soccer, the 2001 NCAA Men’s College Cup. “It’s been very exciting,” Roland said. “From other people’s perspectives, it’s been surprising. (I’m) pleasandy sur prised, but not shocked.” Since FDU’s loss to William & Mary on Oct. 13, the Knights have cruised. They topped Long Island in a four-over time game to grab their second straight NEC crown. FDU then started its series of NCAA Tournament upsets, beating Boston College and Princeton before edging Seton Hall. Now the team from Teaneck, NJ., is just a step away from a trip to Columbus, Ohio, site of the College Cup. But UNC, which came within a victory of the final four last year, will be FDU’s toughest challenge yet. “They are an overpowering, explo sive, dangerous, extremely well-coached team,” Roland said of UNC. “An elite The Kenan-Flagler Business School invites students of ai! majors This p^L P^ t !,.0w f ldcnt!l ,n Undergraduate Investment Banking Day spend the day with bankers from around Sponsored by Seneca Financial Group, Inc. the country and learn about career options Saturday, Feb 16, 2002 in this field.

II team with a blue collar mentality.” For the Tar Heels (18-4) to advance past the Knights and into their first final four since 1987, they must play a smart game and make the most of their scoring opportuni ties. In its 1-0 over time win against American last Sunday, UNC UNC freshman Marcus Storey has nine goals and eight assists this year but hasn't taken a shot since Nov. 15. peppered Eagle goalkeeper Michael Behonick with 16 shots but didn’t score until Mike Gell’s goal in the 95th minute. “Attack is an attitude,” said UNC coach Elmar Bolowich. “We have to make a full chance out of a half chance and a half chance out of no chance.” And with defensive midfielder Grant Porter questionable with a nagging groin injury, the Tar Heels might have to alter their lineup Saturday. Logan Pause could move back to fill Porter’s spot, and Matt Crawford would then move to Pause’s slot. Freshman Marcus Storey - who led the team in scoring for much of the season but hasn’t taken a shot in three games - would come off the bench to play on the right flank. UNC expects FDU to play a style sim ilar to that of American: a counterattacking offense based around a packed-in defense. “I need to be able to take some guys one-on-one, be able to help with some assists,” Storey said. “Each of the for wards - each of us has our days."
