The No. 16 men did not fare as well, losing to No. 5 Minnesota 257-110. The Tar Heel women (1-1) controlled the meet from start to finish, winning 14 of 20 events. In addition, All-American Kelly Weeks set an ACC record in the 200-yard butterfly, eclipsing former Tar Heel Melanie Buddemeyer’s mark by .01 seconds. Weeks’ time of 1 minute 58.03 seconds broke the record that had stood for 17 years. “The improvement that (Weeks has) made in the last six months has just been utterly staggering,” said UNC coach Frank Comfort. Weeks also placed second to the Wolverine’s Anne Weilbacher in the 100 butterfly, and she swam first on UNC’s victorious 400 freestyle relay team. Smith and Jessi Perruquet each won two solo events for UNC. Smith won the 500 and 1,000 freestyles, swimming her personal bests of 4:53.21 and 9:54.70, respectively. Perruquet also won two freestyle races - the 100 and 200 events. THE ABORTION P I lyL I IT’S SAFE. IT’S PRIVATE, and it s FINALLY HERE.

The final score is indicative of Minnesota’s domination - the Golden Gophers won 18 of the meet’s 20 events. “I think (Minnesota is) one of the best college men’s teams that’s ever been in this pool, if not the best,” Comfort said. The two winners for UNC were freshmanjosh Glasco in the 200 butter fly and Eric Poitras in the three-meter diving competition. Harvard also participated in the meet, though the team treated it as a scrimmage. Therefore, its total score was not counted. If it had been, however, the UNC men (0-2) would have easily defeated the No. 15 Crimson. Neither the Harvard men or women won any of the 40 events during the competition. “This is a great opportunity because the two teams are such great competi tion,” UNC senior Sean Quinn said. “It prepares us for later on in the season, like ACCs and NCAAs.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu.

The Tar Heels were slow to put points on the board, missing their first two shots of the game, while the Premier Players sank two three-pointers within the first two minutes of die game. Coretta Brown quickly remedied the situation in the second minute of the Finishing Shots Continues to Plague UNC By Kellie Dixon Assistant Sports Editor As the North Carolina women’s soccer team crossed Fetzer Field after its last conference home game against Maryland on Friday night, few players clad in white jerseys were wearing smiles.

UNC finally broke even in the eighth minute of play, knotting the score at 16-16 after Atkinson drove the lane. Tar Heel center Candace Sutton scored 20 points and grabbed eight rebounds against the Premier Players. Her score was part of a nine-point run for UNC, which ended with a Chrystal Baptist bucket less than 20 seconds later. “We just missed a lot of easy shots,” said junior center Candace Sutton. “We rushed a lot of things, and I think from the defensive end we didn’t get back in transition as well as we should.” The drought continued for the Tar Heels, putting the team in danger of going down into the second half, but a Heels the first seed in this weekend’s con ference tournament in Tallahassee, Fla. Sophomore Anne Morrell first put the Tar Heels on the board with a goal in the first 14 minutes of the game. Morrell dribbled through the cluttered box and pushed the ball to Lindsay Tarpley, who returned the pass to Morrell at the top of the inside box. Morrell kicked it above goalkeeper Kristen Barnhill who jumped upward, but missed the ball as it traveled under the crossbar. UNC (14-1-4, 4-1-2 in the ACC) dominated play for a majority of the game, and went into halftime up 1-0 against Maryland (11-6-1, 3-3-1). But in the first 10 minutes of the sec ond half, the Terrapins struck in a rather unique way. On a Maryland throw-in, defender Lindsay Givens made the toss, hurling the ball from the sideline right into UNC’s goal. The ball deflected off midfielder Anne Felts and went past Tar Heel goalkeeper Aly Winget. “It was an awesome throw but I took the four steps of death where you step forward and then try to get back,” Winget said. “And since I took those four steps, it killed me. I got a piece on it, just not enough.” shot from Jennifer Thomas kept UNC on par with the Premier Players. Thomas rebounded a missed shot and put it back for two points, again tying up the score, this time at 41. UNC exploded out of the gate in the second half, with Thomas striking again with a bucket that put North Carolina ahead. UNC did not relinquish the lead for the remaining 18 minutes of the game. North Carolina was led by Sutton, who had 20 points, and by sophomore guard Nikita Bell who had 12 of UNC’s 58 rebounds. The match, which was the Tar Heels’ first exhibition game, brought back familiar faces to Carmichael’s floor, such as Nikki Teasley and Juana Brown. “It seemed a little strange to come back,” Teasley said. “But I love to play. Playing is always fun for me. It felt good to actually play organized basketball again. ... I play everyday pickup bas ketball but this is the first organized bas ketball I’ve played since I left WNBA.” Brown, who contributed to UNC’s win with 11 points and two assists, said No. 2 North Carolina kept the pressure on, firing nine shots at Barnhill in the sec ond half. The problem wasn’t Barnhill, however, it was the Tar Heels themselves. UNC outshot Maryland 19-14. “I think we took some nice shots, we just need to hit the frame,” said North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance. “We had a lot of chances inside the 16. Obviously, if you shoot some at the keep er that’s not a good thing but you can’t just miss the frame like we did today.” With about 10 minutes left in the match, Maryland’s Ali Andrezejewski cracked a shot that sparked a sequence ending in stitches for UNC goalkeeper Jenni Branam. As senior defender Gaston attempted to clear the ball from the goal box, Terrapin Katie Ludwig slide tackled for possession, clipping Branam with her metal cleat. The con tact lacerated Branam’s forehead and required a trip to UNC Hospitals for Branam and a jersey change for Gaston. The game continued to unfold with neither team converting its opportuni ties, finally ending with a tie when the final horn sounded.

A different five will start in Wednesday’s exhibition game against the Athletes In Action. “It gave us a chance to see in a game situation who could do what,” Hatchell said. “It helps us to analyze and also we’re still moving some people to some different positions. “We’re still trying to find the best place for LaTangela. ...

By stepping up their game, UNC plans to do a few things. One of which is keep ing Tarpley at attacking centermidfielder. “We think that was one of the best deci sions we made all year in terms of putting people on the field,” Dorrance said. “She is an absolute natural there things happen when she gets the ball. The other team has a harder time kicking her when she gets the ball right there which means we can afford to play her a lot more.” The Sports Editor can be reached at sports@unc.edu. 9
