But in the end we couldn’t get a victory. We need to find a way to get it done.” Mock was also impressed with Shaw and Forshey, but was less than pleased with the overall effort. “I’m not the kind of coach that can take a licking and focus on the bright spots,” Mock said. “We’ve got a lot of work to do.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. a I6th-place finish at the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championship on Tuesday.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2004 Freshmen provide promise for future BY DANIEL MALLOY STAFF WRITER RALEIGH Asa disappoint ing season winds down for the North Carolina wrestling team, the focus turns to next year and the young members of the squad. The future looks bright. In Wednesday night’s 19-12 loss to N.C. State, two freshmen scored big wins for the Tar Heels. Drew Forshey had a dramatic victory against the Wolfpack’s Jeremy Hartrum at 125 pounds. The match was tied at one in the third period until Forshey scored the first takedown of the bout and held on for a 3-2 victory. Forshey exacted some revenge with his win, since he had lost twice to Hartrum earlier in the season. The last time the two met was in Chapel Hill on Jan. 14., when Forshey suffered an agonizing overtime defeat. UNC coach C.D. Mock was impressed with the freshman’s improvement. “I felt that (Forshey) was capa ble of beating that kid,” he said. “To coach a kid to beat a kid that he hasn’t beat before, that’s what it’s all about.” Forshey also noted his improve ment. “I made big gains tonight per sonally,” he said. “That was a big match. Now I can get abetter seed in the ACCs.” Bobby Shaw, a redshirt fresh man, dominated his match against the Wolfpack’s Garrett Cummings in the match at 133 pounds. The Student’s Choice for...

State moved Cummings up from 125 pounds, rather than have a rematch between Shaw and Dan Pacitti, who beat him 5-2 last time. “I got a win, but I’m still trying to turn it up a notch,” Shaw said. Mock praised both wrestlers for their improvement, saying that work ethic is the key. “The guys who are improving are the guys putting in the time,” he said. Mock also noted the team’s bright future as he turned his gaze toward next year. “We’re fired up for next year,” he said. “I assure you that we will be sig nificantly better as a team next year.” But Shaw is not ready to give up on this season. “I can’t say we’re not frustrated,” he said. “I was hoping we could start a streak tonight, but a month is enough time to start a streak. “If everyone puts their mind to it, we can win the ACCs.” Forshey agreed that there is hope for the final month of the sea son. “The team wrestled tough tonight, but we are still struggling,” he said. “We just need to fix some divots, and we’ll be there.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. 9
