Joked Melvin Scott: “I think he's
acting out there. He’s taking drama
classes.”
May was joined on the sidelines
by guard Rashad McCants, who
has missed four straight practices
with a strained quad. Center
Damion Grant, still recovering
from offseason knee surgery, also
did not dress.
Of the players who did,
Williams said he was impressed
most by Manuel, who finished with
13 points and six boards, as well as
two steals.
“I think he did some nice things,
slashed to the basket, tried to run,”

line could not apply any semblance
of pressure on Mcßrien, giving
him time to make reads and his
receivers time to make plays.
“The line was doing great, so we
had all day to get open,” said wide
receiver Steve Suter, who led the
team with 72 receiving yards. “It’s
tough for any DB to cover some
body for that long.”

behind.

Williams said.
He also complimented the shot
selection of guard Scott, who hit 3-
of-6 3-pointers.
“I don’t like 3-point shots unless
it’s great shooters, wide open,” Roy
Williams said.
Manuel, Scott and Jawad
Williams combined to score 52 of
the Blue team’s 70 points.
Jawad Williams led all scorers

For White, Felton finished with
20 points and nine assists. Still he,
like his coach, wasn’t satisfied.
“I had three turnovers,” Felton
said. “I’m trying to limit the
turnovers to none.”

Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen
also gave credit to the offensive line
for his team’s domination against
the Tar Heels.
“I think any time you throw' the
ball and run the ball as well as we
did, someone’s doing something
right up front,” he said.
The 59-point Terrapin effort
against UNC called into question
any leaps forward the Tar Heels
have made this season.
After starting the season allow-
where we absolutely lose it,” he
said.
Terp comerback Domonique
Foxworth began the momentum
shift with an interception. On the
next play, tailback Josh Allen took a
Mcßrien swing pass, evaded a Chris
Hawkins open-field tackle and
raced 43 yards for a touchdown.
Maryland forced UNC to punt
on its next possession. Mcßrien
went back to work quickly and hit
receiver Jo Jo Walker across the
middle for a 67-yard touchdown
and a 38-21 lead.
And as quickly as the Terps
scored, they got the ball right back.
Pollock fumbled on the first play of
UNC’s next possession, and Allen
took an option pitch in for a five
yard touchdown three plays later.
With that, the half mercifully
ended, but the game was effective
ly over.
“That’s too many points,”
Bunting said. “That’s too many
bad things to happen at one time.
You need to stop that bleeding,
and we weren’t able to do it.”
Suter, who caught four passes
for 72 yards in the game, was
instrumental in punishing UNC
for its mistakes.
“You can’t help but score points
when everything's going your way,”
he said. “The defense, causing
turnovers there, and we were cap
italizing on those, too.”
Just three games remain for the
Tar Heels, including the finale at
Kenan Stadium at Duke —a game
that has the makings of disaster if
the team cannot rebound from
Saturday’s game.
The job of the coaching staff
now is to find a way to recover
from perhaps its most devastating
loss of the season.
“Things went from bad to worse
to even worse," Bunting said.
“What’s a worse word than worse?
Disaster? It went from bad to
worse to disaster.”

McDowell sisters face each other
BY BRIANA GORMAN
STAFF WRITER
Both Florida State and North
Carolina have a McDowell sister on
their roster.
But it was older sister Mary, a
junior for the Tar Heels, that was
the difference between victory and
defeat in Friday’s 1-0 win against
Florida State.
In the 67th minute, she scored
the lone goal of the night on an
open net after the ball rebounded
off teammate Lindsay Tarpley.
The goal was McDowell’s third
of the season, and her first since a
9-0 win against Guilford on Sept.
17- The junior also has 14 assists
this year.
“It was exhilarating because I
haven’t scored in a while,”
McDowell said. “I wasn't all jump
ing and excited because it kind of
caught me off’ guard. I was
shocked. Tarpley did all the work
and the ball popped out and all I

scoreless streak.
Despite only scoring one goal in
the game, the Tar Heels dominat
ed the rest of the game, barely let
ting the No. 9 Seminoles (11-6-1,4-
2-1) maintain possession of the
ball and outshooting FSU, 23-4.
The Tar Heels actually had a
myriad of other scoring opportu
nities, mostly off corner kicks.
With 32:10 left in the first half,
Reddick was able to get a clear
header off an Alvssa Ramsey cor
ner, but McKenzie was able to
block it. Reddick tried to follow
but it too was defended by
McKenzie.
But due to an advantage on the
offensive side against FSU, the Tar
Heels weren’t as pleased with the
final regular season shutout as
usual.
Before the game, UNC led the
conference in seven of eight statis
tical categories including shots per
game (12.76), goals per game
ing more than 200 yards on the
ground to Florida State, Syracuse
and Wisconsin, UNC seemed to
have stopped the bleeding. In the
last three games prior to Saturday,
UNC’s defense had given up its
lowest rushing totals of the year,
and last week against Clemson it
gave the offense a chance to tie the
game in the final seconds.
Against Maryland, though, the
performance of the run defense,
allowing 252 yards rushing in
addition to the Terps’ passing total,
was atrocious.
North Carolina coach John
Bunting will have to find a way to
make some defensive stops in the
next three weeks if he hopes to
build any momentum heading
into his 2004 campaign.
“We’re a work in progress,”
Bunting said. “We knew that com
ing into this season w'e needed to
work, and it’s going to take a while
to get the job done.”
Though the UNC football pro
gram is going through a rebuilding
process, that doesn’t mean that
Saturday’s game doesn’t sting.
On the Maryland sideline,
Mcßrien responded to his six
touchdown performance by,
believe it or not, commending the
opposition that he obliterated.
“North Carolina’s got a great
defense,” he said. “Don’t get that
wrong.”
If that’s a great defense, it would
be interesting to see what the
Terrapins could do against a bad
defense.

had to do was finish it.”
McDowell’s sister, Rachel
McDowell, is a freshman for the
Seminoles, and the game was her
first meeting against the Tar Heels
—and her sister.
“It was definitely something dif
ferent,” Rachel said. “We’ve never
played against each other, we’ve
played with each other. It just
brings a lot more emotions into the
game. It was fun and it was an
experience. But off the field, we’re
still sisters and we love each other.”
ACC soccer is nothing new in
the McDowell family. Sister
Rebekah played for the Tar Heels
from 1996-99 and sister Elizabeth
played for Wake Forest from 1999-
2002. Older brother Jake was also
an assistant coach for UNC in
2002. *
Being in a family with such a
soccer pedigree, Mary has followed
in her family tradition of soccer
success. Tar Heel coach Anson

(3.82) and goals allowed per game
(0.35).
“We came in as seniors, and we
didn’t want to lose,” Reddick said.
“We have to score and not let
chances miss because we just
expect totally different standards.”
This could have been the last
game the UNC seniors played at
Fetzer Field if the Tar Heels don’t
get a home game in the NCAA
Tournament. Next, the team will
travel to the SAS Soccer Complex
in Raleigh for the ACC
Tournament.
“We didn’t play a schedule that
was designed to come out
unscathed, but we did that,”
Dorrance said. “I feel pretty good
coming into the tournament.... I
thought there were a lot of chal
lenges out there today, but we still
played well.”

“I look at it as, ‘Wow, I get to see my sister
and play a little soccer on the side.’ It’s just
always great to have a sister in the ACC.”
MARY MCDOWELL, NORTH CAROLINA FORWARD
Dorrance said he was proud of her
performance in the tight game.
“What I’m pleased with is Mary
had a very good game against
Virginia, and she won an opportu
nity to play more,” he said. “There’s
nothing profound about the deci
sions you make in athletics. Your
last game sets the table for the next
one.
“And she continues to demon
strate that we need to continue to
go to her because she was the mar
gin of victory.”
Mary and Rachel aren’t origi
nally from ACC country, as they
both graduated from Wheat Ridge
High School in Lakewood, Colo.

It’s just always great to have a sis
