Young Tar Heel team
excels in close games
BY DAVID MOSES
STAFF WRITER
In soccer, it is not unusual for a
team to play in a lot of tight games.
But what sets the North
Carolina men’s soccer team apart
is its success in these games.
UNC pulled out yet another
close victory on Sunday. Close
wins, however, are nothing new for
this Tar Heel team.
With UNC’s 1-0 victory against
Harvard, North Carolina improved
to 5-1 in one-goal games this sea
son. UNC coach Elmar Bolowich
pointed to the team’s tough sched
ule as a possible reason for the
large number of close games.
“I don’t know, maybe (the) other
teams are good,” he said.
With such a youthful team
UNC started four freshmen on
Sunday it might surprise some
that the Tar Heels have been able
to pull out these games.
Their success, however, is no
surprise to freshman Corey Ashe.
“I think we are able to pull out
these close games because of our
intensity," he said. “We want to
prove to the University' and every

body that w r e are a team to beat."
The 2003 Tar Heels might be
young, but they certainly do not
lack experience. Three star fresh
men Ashe, Jamie Watson and
Michael Harrington played
together on the Under-17 U.S.
National Team.
Watson scored the lone goal, as
Ashe took a pass from Harrington
and hit Watson in stride for a head
er that found the back of the net.
“We're so used to playing
(together), we don’t even think
about it,” Watson said.
The team’s inexperience,
though, might also contribute to
the Tar Heels’ inability to put
teams aw'ay. While outshooting the
Crimson 14-3, UNC only managed
to net one goal.
With a game upcoming against
No. 1 Maryland this Sunday, North
Carolina hopes they can keep this
important ACC contest close.
And if the game is decided by
one goal. North Carolina certain
ly likes its chances.

passed to Shannon MacMillan,

“It was a shock," Reddick said.
“It was the most exciting moment

Defense dominates in victory

ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR
With more than 75 minutes
gone in a match between Harvard
and No. 8 North Carolina, a defen
sive struggle had yielded a score
less tie.

man midfielder
Michael
Harrington
broke free and
dribbled the

toward the Crimson goal.
He passed off to forward Corey
Ashe on the right side, who then
sent a pass sailing across the
goalie box to forward Jamie
Watson at the far post, who head
ed the ball into the back of the
goal for the first and only score of
the game.
“It was awesome because it was
my first home goal,” Watson said.
“And to be in a game like this, with
a team like Harvard, they wanted
to come in here and if they had got
ten away with a tie, they would
have been happy.
Mens cross country finishes 15th
BY ANDY WALES
STAFF WRITER
CARY The North Carolina
men’s cross country team
approached Friday’s meet against
22 strong teams with the desire to
show the nation how well it could
run against such stiff competition.
The team came away feeling dis
appointed with its 15th-place finish.
UNC raced against seven
nationally ranked squads at the
Great American Cross Country
Festival at SAS Soccer Park,
including No. 3 Northern Arizona,
No. 6 Michigan, No. 14 N.C. State
and No. 27 Duke.
Northern Arizona’s Travis Laird
won the 8K race with a time of 25
minutes, 33.9 seconds. Northern
Arizona also won the team race,
defending their title of a year ago.
UNC’s top runner, junior Brian
McGovern, led the Tar Heels. He
finished 24th with a time of
26:23.3, just 50 seconds off the lead
pace.
“Brian ran a really smart race,”
said North Carolina coach Michael
Whittlesey.
Though conditions were tough,
McGovern said he performed fair
ly well against some of the best

“So to get that goal, it totally dis
rupted their game plan and ended
up being the game winner, so that
made it even better.”
Watson’s goal was one of few
exciting moments in a game that
was dominated by defensive play.
“We tried to stay somewhat con
servative,” said UNC coach Elmar
Bolowich. “We felt like in the dura
tion of the 90 minutes, we could
get an opportunity to score that
one goal that would break the
game open.”
It was that conservative strategy
of the Tar Heels (7-1-1) that paved
the way to victory on Sunday.
According to Bolowich, the
strength of Harvard (3-2-2) on
counterattacks led him to empha
size discipline on defense and stay
ing back because one goal would
most likely decide the game.
“You just want to go out there
and you want to make something
happen,” Ashe said. “Coach has
said, ‘Let’s get that one g0a1.’... 1
knew, playring with Jamie and
Marcus (Storey) and all these great
players, something was going to
runners in the country.
The rest of the team, however,
came away unhappy with its per
formance, believing it is better
than what it showed on Friday.
The heat certainly was a big fac
tor for the rest of the Tar Heels.
“Due to the heat and due to the
tough course, they were hurting a
little bit,” McGovern said.
Junior Matt Daly and sopho
more Tom Falvey echoed those sen
timents when asked how they
would finish on a normal day, both
answered simultaneously, “Better."
The two runners finished 94th
and 95th, respectively, only eight
spots behind senior Scott Price.
Whittlesey wanted the three
runners to run as a pack.
“That was exactly the race plan,"
he said, but he also mentioned that
the young runners lost confidence
about a mile and a half in.
“They saw where they were at
and rather than staying focused
and confident that that’s exactly
where we need to be, they started

happen. And luckily, I got the ball
and Jamie ran back post and head
ed it in.”
Ashe came off the bench in both
halves, jolting UNC’s forwards into
an offensive mindset after they
were not really able to get into a
rhythm under the oppressive
Crimson defense.
“(Harvard) came out and start
ing off the game, they had five
defenders and that never really
happens,” Watson said. “It got frus
trating in a sense that we couldn’t
get anything early because they
were just trying to make us play
conservative, pass the ball Eiround,
and they weren’t giving us any
chances.”
However, the Tar Heels man
aged to control the pace of the
game and lead in shots. In addi
tion, UNC maintained its focus in
the face of the frustration created
by Harvard’s strategy.
“In the first half it was like
Harvard defended with nine guys
and continued to do that in the
second half” Bolowich said. “But
we didn’t attack well out of the
to lose a little bit of that confi
dence,” he said. “They stopped exe
cuting the race plan.”
Despite a 15th-place finish by
the Tar Heels, the team believes it
will get better over time.
“We’re fine if we just continue to
execute our plan,” Whittlesey said.
This race was the first big race of
the season, run against several of
the nation’s top teams, and in the
long run that can only help a young
and inexperienced team.
“They refound themselves at the
end of the race,” Whittlesey said.
“Scott Price was our sixth (or) sev
enth man at (the UNC Challenge)
and today was our No. 2 man.”
As the team gains more experi
ence, adverse conditions will be
less of a factor.
“Everyone has to deal with the
heat,” Falvey said, “Basically, we
need to change some things. We
have a much better team than that”

flank positions in the first. We ran
too much through the middle and
the forwards were not really con
necting, and in the second half
that was much better.
“There was a little bit more flow
in the game and our attacks com
ing out of the midfield.”
With Harvard basically playing
not to lose, it was up to the North
Carolina offense, which had been
relatively ineffective most of the
game, to come up with the decid
ing goal or suffer the dreaded tie.
“I’m very pleased with the boys,”
Bolowich said. “ The key thing was,
versus Duke, sometimes we lost
our composure, sometimes we lost
our discipline in terms of our
shape, and today that was much
better.
“We improved, we made a step
forward in this game. That may
have not have looked as interesting
to you as a spectator, but on the
inside, within the team, we grew
because of this game.”
