Tar Heels shine in championship warmup
BY DANIEL MALLOY
STAFF WRITER
During the Carolina Fast Times
track and field meet Friday, North
Carolina senior Tiffany Flomo took
a break from the heat in the air
conditioned press box.
“I need to concentrate on run
ning the 200, man,” said Flomo,
normally a mid-distance runner but
competing in sprints. “I’m nervous.”
Unable to keep a straight face,
she burst out laughing.
Although UNC won 14 events
Friday, many athletes rested or ran
in unusual events in order to pre
pare for next weekend’s ACC
championships.
“There’s nothing more we can
accomplish physically,” said Coach
Dennis Craddock. “That time peri
od has passed, so we just want
them to have a good positive expe
rience psychologically.”

sure the ball didn’t end up in his
stick.
“Prossner is a very good player,
and Michael worked hard the
whole game,” said Virginia coach
Dom Starsia. “That’s not an easy
thing to do to ask someone to do
that, and he did a nice job with it.”
Prossner had scored at least one
goal in every game this season to
lead his team in points.
“They played pretty tight,” he
said. “They did a good job. They
shut me off the whole game.”
In fact, Prossner managed only
two shots on goal against the sti
fling defense, including a desper
ate dive in front of the god in
which Prossner landed in a pile of
UVa. defensemen.
“It was pretty frustrating
because the whole time I was get
ting a good workout just trying to
get the ball from my teammates,”
Prossner said. “My player was
glued to me the whole game. He
just shut me out”
Though the Tar Heels’ main
offensive target was shut out of the
game, they were able to look else
where for the goals they needed to
defeat the defending NCAA cham
pions.
Nine different UNC players
stepped up and contributed goals.
Senior Andrew Lucas was one
of the players who moved in to fill
the void left by the offensive
absence of Prossner. Lucas, gener
ally substituted into the game dur
ing extra-man opportunities,
scored two goals.
One goal came on his specialty,
the man-up advantage, and the
other goal came from an individ
ual effort in which he wrapped
around the back of the net to slide
one by the UVa. goalkeeper.
“They shut Jed off,” Lucas said.
“To tell you the truth, I wasn’t in
there much except for man-up,
and then I ended up playing pret
ty well so they stuck me in there at
the end and I was able to get that
one goal.”
The ability of the Tar Heels to
discover a way to score even with
out their top scorer shows a dan
gerous side to the offense.
Opponents no longer can be
afraid of just Prossner as North
Carolina’s main scoring threat, but
now must watch out for the entire
offensive line.
“We just kept moving the ball,”
Prossner said. “Our game plan was
just to move the ball pretty quick
ly and help set picks for each other.
Basically, that’s what happened
and eventually things started
working out for us.”

Sekita Grant. Anundsen trailed 5-
3 and 3-0 in each set before storm
ing back to win each.
“It was kind of tiring for both of
us, because we both had long ral
lies,” she said. “Just staying in the
match helped my confidence and
hurt hers.”
The Tar Heels (18-7,4-4 in the
ACC) will begin ACC Tournament
play against either Wake Forest or
Georgia Tech. UNC lost to Wake
earlier in the season, 4-3.
Kalbas said he believes that the
team is ready to compete in the
tournament.
“I’m encouraged, going into the
conference tournament,” he said.
“We’ve seen everybody. We’ll be
focused and ready to go.”
Kalbas felt this weekend’s
matches were indicative of things
to come.
“(Friday) was a really good
match for us, and (Saturday) we’re
gelling as a team,” he said. “I think
this team is very hungry to prove
that they can win an ACC title. In
the NCAA Tournament, our goal is
to win a regional.
“Those goals are still out there
for us.”

Flomo, one of the team’s cap
tains, agreed that the Fast Times
meet was less stressful than most.
“It lets me come into the meet
relaxed, working on some little
things that will help me in my
actual event,” she said.
She still won the 200-meter race.
Among the athletes that did
compete in their normal spots,
there were many more outstanding
performances.
The UNC women’s pole vaulters
swept the top four places. Laura Risi
took first place and broke her own
school record in the event with a
height of 13 feet, 11/2 inches.
For the men’s team, freshman
Nick Owens decisively won both
the hammer throw and the discus.
Owens beat the closest competi
tor by more than 30 feet in the ham
mer, breaking his own collegiate
record with a throw of 199 feet.
MEN'S LACROSSE

In the meantime, the Tar Heel
attack benefited from three UVa.
penalties and scored twice to take
an 8-7 lead.
“We capitalized on a couple of
those when they pressed out on us,”
said Jed Prossner. “Overall, we were
effective on man-up opportunities.”
The Tar Heels added a spectac
ular transition goal by Mike
McCall with four seconds left in
the third quarter.
Fourth-quarter goals by Lance
Zimmerman and Andrew Lucas
gave UNC a 11-7 lead before the
Cavaliers cut the lead to two with
1:46 to go on an unassisted goal by
Matt Ward, his fifth of the game.
But UNC’s Kevin Frew won the
ensuing faceoff, and UNC ran out

Craddock praised Owens for his
ability to approach 200 feet with
every attempt, but added that the
thrower has higher potential.
“The time is coming when he’s
really going to pop one well over
200 feet,” Craddock said.
Several Tar Heels qualified for
NCAA regionals on Friday with
impressive scores in their events.
Alice Schmidt, the defending
NCAA outdoor champion in the
800, ran for the first time this
spring and won the 1,500 meters,
qualifying with a time of 4 min
utes, 25.38 seconds.
Rhian Jenks, one of the domi
nant pole-vaulters, qualified for
regionals with a height of 12-31/2.
Anissa Gainey and Erin
Donohue also qualified in the 400
and 800, respectively Gainey
won her event.
The men’s team also had several
the clock for a win that put the team
in position to make its first NCAA
Tournament since 1998.
“It starts in the goal,” Haus said.
“If we get good solid goalie play, I
think we can be very effective in the
defensive end. Offensively, we faced
probably the best goalie in the
country today, and we put 11 goals
in there, so that’s pretty good.”
UNC won because Spellman,
with the help of his coaches and
teammates, suppressed that ele
ment of his brain that is necessary
for a functional life but can be detri
mental to functional goalkeeping.
“I put the first half behind me,”
Spellman said. “You can only worry
about the next play. You can’t have
a long-term memory.”

outstanding moments in the meet,
taking the top two places in both
the 100 meters and the high jump.
Richard Allen blazed through the
100 with a time of 10.90 seconds.
In the high jump John Hubbard
took the crown by soaring to a
jump of 6-6, and Aaron Harris tied
for second at 6-2.
The team had its eye on the ACC
Championships during the meet.
“It’s kind of an off weekend for
us because we have a big competi
tion coming up this next weekend,”
Flomo said.
The high scores and fast times
the women’s team earned in an off
weekend bodes well for their hopes
of taking home their fourth ACC
title in a row.
And that is no laughing matter.

them down.”
Pitcher Crystal Cox sealed the
victory for the Tar Heels, shutting
the Terrapins down by allowing no
runs in the final innings.
Although she allowed five runs
in Friday’s first game against N.C.
State, Cox turned in a stellar per
formance against Maryland, giving
up only three hits in 8.2 innings
and striking out 10 in two games.
“It felt really good (to pitch better
on Sunday),” Cox said. “I needed to.
I felt sharp today. Friday, I wasn’t as
crisp. I wasn’t hitting my spots.”
Both of Friday’s games against
the ’Pack (28-18,1-1) came down to
a final pitch. Price, who represent
ed the winning run, was at the plate
with the bases loaded with two outs
and a 3-2 count in the first game
when she lofted a long fly ball down
the left field line. Wolfpack left
fielder Jessica Willems dropped the
ball near the line, and the umpire
MONDAY, APRIL 12, 2004
called the hit a foul.
“I love to be in those situations,
Price said. “Not so much to intim
idate the other team, but I knew
they didn’t want me at the plate.
My teammates said they had even
been trying to pitch around me.”
Nevertheless, Price struck out on
the next pitch, causing loud protests
from the stands and the players.
The second game ended with a
walk-off home run by Streete in the
bottom of the eighth, capping off
the win for the Tar Heels.
Streete said that the way the
team responded to the loss was
indicative of the team’s character
a loss only motivates the team.
“We wanted the game so bad, we
wanted both of them,” Streete said.
“The loss didn’t really take the wind
out of our sails it just sent us into
the second game more motivated
and ready to go. We weren’t going
to get shut out on our home field.”
