UNC flat in home finale loss

Flashy footwork and solid

nent, losing 1-0 in front of 2,624
fans.
It was North Carolina's second
consecutive ACC loss and their first
loss at home this season.
“We just didn’t play soccer
tonight,” said UNC coach Elmar
Bolowich. “That’s the bottom
line."
The loss dropped the Tar Heels
(11-3-3, 2-3-1 in the ACC) into a
fourth-place tie with N.C. State.
The teams will meet in the first
North Carolina runners. He still
thought UNC had raced decently,
though, and was severely disap
pointed upon hearing that the
team had finished eighth.
“Are you serious?” the shocked
junior said. “I guess we’re not
exactly satisfied with that. I know
the guys worked hard. We’re defi
nitely going to have to work hard
er going into (the NCAA District
111 championship meet).”
And that is what they will do.
Sciandra and McGovern said they
are hoping for a good performance
at the Nov. 15 race. They said that
the flat 10-kilometer course is con
ducive to many of the Tar Heels’
running styles.
“The district meet plays better
to our forte,” Whittlesey said.
“We’ve done an awful lot of work
and the guys are doing the right
things. It just didn’t come out
today as we hoped it would.”

round of the ACC Tournament
later this month.
UNC paid the price for a slow
start in the first half in its regular
season conference finale.
After failing to capitalize on sev
eral chances earlier in the period,
Clemson (8-7-2,2-4) took the lead
in the 37th minute when Charlie
Roberts finished a perfectly placed
corner kick by Brad Gibson.
The Tar Heels had several solid
opportunities of their own in the
first half, but were unable to crack
the stingy Clemson defense for a
score.
Clemson goalkeeper Phil
Marfuggi thwarted the Tar Heels
with two terrific saves in the first
half. He stopped a 10-yard shot by
UNC freshman Ted Odgers in the
16th minute.
Marfuggi then negated North
Carolina’s best chance of the half
when he made a diving kick save
to stop a shot by Marcus Storey
three minutes before the intermis
sion.
Tar Heels looking to bounce back
BY DAVID MOSES
STAFF WRITER
The North Carolina men’s soc
cer team hadn't lost two consecu
tive games all season.
It hadn’t lost at Fetzer Field
since September 7, 2002, a span of
14 games.
Both of these streaks ended on
Saturday as Clemson handed the
Tar Heels a 1-0 loss.
In the last game in front of the
home crowd for seniors Grant
Porter, Sean McGinty and Jay Batt,
UNC didn’t come out strong in the
first half and could not net the
equalizer in a seqond half despite
controlling most of the play.
In their first game since a 4-0
trouncing at the hands of Wake
Forest, North Carolina coach
Elmar Bolowich said he did not
expect his squad to come out and
give such a poor effort, and he
could not pinpoint a reason for the
team’s fiat performance on Senior
Night.
“I was a little bit surprised
because it was our last home
game," Bolowich said. “We wanted
to do well for our seniors, we want

Bolowich said he wasn’t happy
with his team’s effort in the first
half.
“You can’t play an ACC game if
you only decide to play for 45 min
utes,” Bolowich said. “The game is
90 minutes, and in the first half,
they wanted the game more.
“They played with more passion.
They played with more enthusi
asm, and they got the goal they
needed to win it.”
UNC controlled the pace of the
game effectively in the second half,
outshooting Clemson 6-1 in the
period, but the Tiger defense was
up to the challenge.
The Tar Heels had two excellent
chances in the last five minutes of
the game.
Freshman Jamie Watson was
denied when Clemson was credit
ed with a team save with seven
minutes left in the game.
Michael Harrington got a shot
off from the corner of the box in
the 88th minute after juking his
way through the Clemson defense,
ed to send them off with a win.”
With only the regular season
finale against South Carolina left
for the young Tar Heels before
they begin play in the ACC
Tournament, Bolowich said he is
not concerned about whether his
team will recover and bounce
back.
“We cannot be worried about
that whatever happens, hap
pens," Bolowich said. “We need to
get back to what made us strong,
we need to again find the passion
for the game, the carefree attitude
that the guys had in the beginning
of the season.”
With the loss, the Tar Heels will
be seeded fourth in the ACC
Tournament, and they will be
matched against N.C. State in the
tournament’s first round. But
Bolowich did not put much
emphasis on the team’s seed head
ing into postseason play.
“The seed really doesn’t matter
that much, I’m not so concerned
with where we end up in the ACC,”
Bolowich said. “I’m more con
cerned with, do we get better right
now?”

but the ball sailed over the cross
bar.
“We just couldn't really get any
thing together,” Harrington said.
“At times we were playing a little
bit like individuals and not like a
team.”
Harrington also said he was sur
prised by the team’s poor perform
ance, especially after last week’s 4-
0 loss at Wake Forest.
“I thought after the big loss
there, everyone was just going to
come back and work even harder
to get the win after having that
happen,” Harrington said. “We
came out flat.”
Despite all of his team’s mis
takes, Bolowich was willing to give
credit to Clemson’s physical style of
play.
“It’s difficult to break them
down,” Bolowich said. “You need to
have a certain amount of luck, skill
and opportunities.”

Freshman Michael Harrington
said he thinks his team is very
capable of shaking off its losing
streak and having a strong show
ing in the postseason.
“I think we can (bounce back),”
Harrington said. “We saw that we
could play in the beginning of the
season and we kind of dropped off.
I think next weekend we can defi
nitely come back and get a w-in and
go on to the ACC Tournament with
a good rhythm.”
Most of the attention this season
for the Tar Heels has been focused
on their youthful roster.
In the midst of their first losing
streak of the season, and facing
the first signs of adversity, nobody
knows how this young North
Carolina squad will respond in
two weeks. Bolowich is one of
many who are very interested to
find out.
“How do we bounce back?
That’s more what interests me
now,” Bolowich said. “We’ll see if
our team has character.”
