State cruises after slow start
BY MICHAEL MARTINEZ
STAFF WRITER
For a few minutes Wednesday
night, it seemed that the North
Carolina wrestling team was on
track to provide first-year coach
C.D. Mock with an ideal debut to
ACC competition.
Venroy July and Ryan Adams
won the match’s opening bouts and
gave the Tar Heels a quick 6-0
advantage against N.C. State.
The Wolfpack responded by
winning six consecutive decisions,
however, and cruised to a 26-12
victory at Carmichael Auditorium.
Although he would have pre
ferred a victory, Mock said he was
pleased with the team’s perform
ance against its rival, especially
considering the circumstances.
The Tar Heels (1-3), who have
relied heavily on experienced
wrestlers throughout the season,
were dealt another major blow this
week when Chris Rodrigues, an
All-American at 125 pounds in
2002, was dismissed from the
team.
“I don’t like to lose, but I saw a
lot of good things out there today,”
Mock said. “My guys wrestled very

through some adversity.
“We asked them to step up, and
some of these guys are filling big
shoes.”
July set the tone for UNC with a
4-2 overtime victory in the opening
bout at 197 pounds. After battling
with Wolfpack freshman Zach
Garren through two overtime peri
ods, July scored a takedown to give
his team a 3-0 lead.
In the ensuing bout, Adams
doubled UNC’s lead by manhan
dling Wolfpack heavyweight Jainor
Palma 8-3, but the rest of the night
belonged to N.C. State.
The Wolfpack rattled off six con
secutive victories in the lower
weight classes to take a command
ing 26-6 lead.
Josh Lee finally stopped the
bleeding by gutting out a 6-4 over
time victory against Wolfpack 174-
pounder Rick Brownlee.
Mark Canty won the night’s final
bout at 184 pounds with a 7-4 deci
sion against Daniel Humphries.

Forshey was impressive in his new
starting role. Forshey fought back
from an early deficit to tie his bout
at 5-5 in the third period, but was
outlasted in overtime by Jeremy
Hatrum, and lost 7-5.
Garrett Atkinson stayed close
with Wolfpack 165-pounder
Dustin Kawa, a two-time ACC
champion, before losing by pinfall
in the third period.
“We’ve got guys that are step
ping up, and I’m really pleased,”
Mock said. “I\vo weeks ago, Drew
Forshey thought he was a red shirt.
Now he’s in there, and he almost
beat that kid, and he will beat that
kid.
“We’re getting better. It might
take some time, but we’re going to
be back on top.”
July also said he thought
Wednesday’s match was an
encouraging sign.
“We’re going to keep on going
on,” he said. “We’ve got the guys
who want to wrestle now, and we’re
going to keep on getting better. We
will get better.”

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - After
the way things started, few would
have thought Wednesday’s show
down between No. 9 North
Carolina and Maryland at the
Comcast Center would be decided
by one team’s offensive ineptitude.
But the Tar Heels couldn’t dupli
cate their early-game scoring flurry
when it mattered most, and the
MEN'S Terrapins made
BASKETBALL just enough free
BASKETBALL throws to lock
UNC 84 up a 90-84 win
Maryland 90 in their ACC
home opener.
UNC (10-3, 1-2 in the ACC)
trailed for most of the second half,
but a Rashad McCants 3-pointer
from the left comer tied the game
at 78 with three minutes to play.
Half a minute later, Jamar
Smith made 1 of 2 free throws to
put Maryland (10-3, 1-1) up for
good, thanks to UNC’s offensive
meltdown.
“We didn’t make a lot of shots
that we had open,” said UNC point
guard Raymond Felton, who
missed a crucial trey with the
game tied at 78. “A lot of the shots
we just didn’t knock down.”
North Carolina’s first two shots
after Smith’s go-ahead free throw,
a McCants jumper and a May
turnaround, were blocked by Nik
Caner-Medley. Then a McCants 3-
pointer came up short, and
Maryland’s Travis Garrison
knocked down another pair of free
throws to put the Terps up 82-78.
From there, it was just a matter
of making free throws, and
Maryland did. The Terrapins went
10 of 14 from the line in the last
three minutes —and they kept the
Tar Heels from getting good looks
at the basket.
“The bottom line is that
Maryland made big-time plays
down the stretch,” said UNC coach

North Carolina guard Raymond Felton (center) looks for a pass while
trapped between Terps Nik Caner-Medley (left) and John Gilchrist.
Roy Williams.
Terp center Jamar Smith made
big-time plays for most of the game.
The senior scored 22 points on 8-
of-14 shooting and had nine
rebounds. He put Maryland in con
trol early in the second half, scoring
10 of the Terrapins’ first 15 points.
“He’s a great player in his senior
year,” May said. “He did what he
had to do to win, and I didn’t. I
played like a little baby out there.”
May’s frustration was caused by
his 7-for-19 shooting and his four
turnovers. Whenever he got the ball
in the post, Maryland’s defense col
lapsed on him, forcing a bad shot or
a turnover. But several times, May
simply missed easy layups.
“They were swarming him,”
Williams said. “They were getting
people around him, and I think
that was one of their focuses.”
Early on, it wasn’t a serious prob
lem for the Tar Heels. They were
getting scoring from a variety of
sources in the extremely fast-paced
game. All their starters had at least
eight points at halftime.
But Maryland kept pace, thanks
largely to the play of guard John
Gilchrist and forward Ekene
Ibekwe, who scored 11 and 13
points, respectively, in the first half.
Still, North Carolina stretched its
lead to 10 at the 6:43 mark in the
half. It looked like the game was
dose to getting out of hand, but Tar
Heel turnovers kept it close.
“There were times in the first
half where North Carolina started
to make runs,” said Maryland
coach Gary Williams. “I don’t think
