PROVIDENCE, R.I. - Ryan
Kneipper had a goal and an assist to lead
the North Carolina men’s soccer team to
a 5-0 victory over Brown on Sunday at

The win breaks a two-game losing

And they did, in flashes. Early in the
second half, center Jason Brown flopped
on a Jacque Lewis fumble in the end
zone to bring UNC within 10.
“If you look at football games, they
have five minutes before the half, and
going in for the first five minutes after
the half, that’s what they’re dominating,”
Brown said. “And that’s a really scary
feeling.”
If Simms was scared at all, he cer
tainly didn’t show it. Just two passes
after North Carolina’s score, Texas
struck again.
But Durant had one more answer left
for the Longhorns. The UNC quarter
back clawed his way to another score
when his 15-yard touchdown pass to
receiver Sam Aiken brought die Tar
Heels within 10 again.

“Practice this week was basically:
‘We’re gonna run the ball, and you’re
going to run every play until you get it
right,’” said Texas left guard Tillman
Holloway.
“So if we didn’t run the right play, we
got whisded back and ran it again until
we got it right.”
The additional practice made for a
long night for the UNC front seven,

“Of course it’s something special,”
Benson said. “Him coaching here, and
doing some great things here, and then

of four and 17 yards, and he averaged
6.7 yards per carry.
In the first series of the game, Benson
rushed for 41 yards - eight less than he

Texas.
“At times we played great - we flew
to the ball, we flew around,” said UNC
defensive end Will Chapman. “And
then at times they ran up there like it
was wide open.”
Texas’ ability to establish a ground

best aerial attacks to go to work, further

team saw its record fall to 3-3 on the sea-

wanted nothing more than to pound
him. We called this one the ‘Mack
Bowl.’”
After the clock ran out, Brown gath
ered his players together and silently
raised his hand and formed the signa
ture “Hook ’em Horns” gesture. The
team and fans followed suit, and Brown
lead his school in its fight song.
But as far as dignifying the emotions
surrounding his first win at Kenan on
the opposite side of the field, Brown
downplayed his long-awaited return.
“It means that we’re 2-0,” Brown said.
“There was way too much talk about me
coming back here. Hopefully, it will be
some closure for some people because
we won’t be playing anymore. This uni
versity is a great university, and football
was here before I got here.”

receivers.
The result?
A 31-point Texas win and a long
night of resdess, and at times disinter

“They came out clearly worrying
about the pass,” Simms said.
“They didn’t believe we were going
to run it on them. We proved it right
away.”
Said Benson: “The coaches told me
we were going to come out and we were
going to start with the run, see how they
handled that. And we put it to them."
