UNC qualifies for
at-large NCAA bid
Henry wins her Ist collegiate meet
BY ALICIA JONES
STAFF WRITER
Strong finishes by several North
Carolina athletes at the NCAA
Region 111 Championship sealed
the women’s cross country team’s
ticket to the NCAA Championships
in Terre Haute, Ind.
UNC finished third overall,
behind Duke and N.C. State. The
top two teams automatically quali
fied for the NCAA competition, and
UNC received an at-large bid to the
national meet.
Junior Carol Henry captured
first place in the 6K race with a
time of 19 minutes, 57.5 seconds,
just ahead of senior Erin Donohue
(20:07-4).
The victory was Henry’s first
career cross country win as a col
lege athlete.
She placed fourth at the 2001
NCAA Southeast Regional before
sitting out the entire 2002 season
with an ankle injury. Henry came
back to place second in last year’s
regional meet.
“I was pretty excited,” Henry
said. “I’ve never won a cross
country meet, so this win ranks
pretty high. Erin and I have been
running together all season. We
were out there to run hard and
just get out there in front and run
together.”
Henry and Donohue took an
early lead Saturday running almost
side by side, a strategy the pair has
used throughout the season to stay
ahead of other runners and pace
each other.
“It felt almost like practice,”
Donohue said. “I know I felt real
strong the whole way, and it went
right according to plan.”
One thing that did not go
according to plan was the team’s
strategy to tighten its pack and
snag the overall win from Duke,
who also bested the Tar Heels at

FROM WIRE REPORTS
INDIANAPOLIS - Thanks to
a 10-8-2 record against one of the
nation’s most challenging sched
ules, North Carolina has earned
an at-large bid to the 48-team field
of the 2004 NCAA Men’s Soccer
Championship, as announced
Monday.
The Tar Heels, who are making
their school-record sixth straight
postseason appearance, will host
Atlantic 10 champion George
Washington (9-8-4) at 6 p.m.
Friday at Fetzer Field.
The winner will play a sec
ond round match at I6th-seed
ed Virginia Commonwealth on
Tuesday.
Monday’s selection marks the
13th NCAA Tournament appear
ance for the Tar Heels, who own
a 15-11-0 record in the postsea
son. The Tar Heels are 9-4 in all
time NCAA Tournament play at
Fetzer Field, but lost to Coastal
Carolina, 3-0, in the second round
in 2003.
The Tar Heels are 0-1-0 all-time
against the Colonials, who defeated
UNC 1-0 during the 1979 season.
After a 1-8-3 start, George
Washington is undefeated in its last
nine games and defeated Temple 2-
0 in Sunday’s A-10 title match to
claim the program’s sixth NCAA
Tournament berth.
Golfers eliminated in Florida
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla.
The North Carolina women’s
golf team was eliminated from
the Hooters Collegiate Match Play
Championship after losing to New
Mexico in the second round, four
matches to one.
The second round was complet
ed Monday morning after play was
halted due to darkness on Sunday.
The event is being played on the
Las Colinas course at the Mission
Inn Golf and Tennis Resort.
UNC freshman Ann Laney was
the lone victorious Tar Heel as
she defeated New Mexico’s Kailin
Downs, 3 and 1.
New Mexico won the other four
matches as Ashley Rollins defeat
ed Katie Miller, 5 and 3; Christina
Spence defeated Laura Caniff, 3
and 2; Christine Fernandez defeat
ed Romi Irons, 5 and 4; and Giselle
Claux defeated Shannon Boyle, 5
and 4.
The Tar Heels lost a first-round
match to Oklahoma State, losing
three of the five matches to the
Cowgirls. And after losing to New
Mexico on Monday, North Carolina
was sent home from the double
elimination event.
ACC Championships and captured
its first-ever conference title.
“We had a tough time getting
our number four and five runners
in, so that’s why we couldn’t beat
out Duke and N.C. State,” Donohue
said.
“But hopefully next Monday
we’ll be able to get everybody
together and place a lot higher at
NCAAs.”
Three of Duke’s top runners
were notably absent at the meet,
as they rested for nationals.
Shannon Rowbury, Sally
Meyerhoff and Phebe Ko did not
compete after contributing to the
upset win against the defend
ing ACC champion Tar Heels.
Meyerhoff finished first, ahead of
Henry and Donohue, at the confer
ence meet.
“Going into the race, I was really
disappointed that Duke decided
not to really take the race seriously
and put all of their best runners in
there,” Donohue said.
“I think we were looking to show
that we could compete with them
and beat (Duke).”
Saturday’s race might not have
been a challenge for Henry and
Donohue, but the team will recon
vene with Duke’s top runners as
well as many other high-caliber
athletes at the national competi
tion Monday.
The Tar Heels plan to regroup
and take the same approach for
the national competition it had for
regionals.
“I think everything looks good
for the team,” Donohue said. “We
just need to pull our pack up a little
bit iurther and make sure they all
are comfortable and have a good
race, so we can finish high as a
team.”

Tar Heel defense fails in 2nd half
BY DAVID MOSES
ASSISTANT SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR
The North Carolina men’s soc
cer team went into halftime of its
ACC Tournament semifinal against
Maryland on Saturday with a
scoreless tie and feeling pretty good
about its chances to make it to the
finals.
After taking a 2-1 lead in the sec
ond half, things looked even more
promising for the Tar Heels.
That’s when things fell apart for
UNC, as Maryland netted three
unanswered goals in a span of 11
minutes.
“First half, I thought we were
playing well, and I thought we
were going to bring it into the
second half and get the win
today,” senior Tim Merritt said
Saturday. “It’s disappointing to
get four goals scored on us today.
It’s very sad.”
With winds gusting up to 20
mph, Maryland played with the
wind at its back in the second half,
which seemed to give it a distinct
advantage.
Down 2-1, Maryland defender
Kenney Bertz, who could easily
throw the ball 25 yards, launched a
long throw in into the box as Chris
Lancos headed it past Tar Heel
goalkeeper Ford Williams for the
equalizer.
“(The wind) sometimes can be
a factor on throw-ins,” said UNC
coach Elmar Bolowich. “Ford
sort of misjudged that ball a little
bit.”
The wind also seemed to play
a factor in other aspects as UNC
misplayed balls that held up in the
wind.
“That’s what I said at halftime
the ball will not end up where
you think it will end up,” Bolowich
said. “It’s going to get carried or
get stopped. You have to antici
pate that depending on the angle
and the wind.”
For the second consecutive
game, North Carolina controlled
play in the first half but was unable
to take an early lead.
“I don’t know what it is,”
Bolowich said. “I have no answer
for that. Sometimes it’s frustrat
ing to our team as it is to anybody
else.”
It wasn’t just the wind that
caused the UNC defensive collapse
in the second half. Maryland bril
liantly executed a series of long
balls to set up goals, and the Tar
Heels had no answer for Maryland
forward Jason Garey.
With the Terps clinging to a
3-2 lead, Lancos served a ball
at least 40 yards to Garey, who
quickly trapped it and blasted
his 19th goal of the season by

Williams.
“The difference was that we
could not deal with Maryland’s
quick execution of the long ball,
and we got caught twice that
resulted in goals,” Bolowich
said.
“We allowed (Garey) six shots
on goal, and he scored two of
those. He’s a quality forward. We
knew about him, we wanted to
pay attention to him, but in the
end he had the upper hand on us
today.”
With the Tar Heels set to play
George Washington in the first
round of the NCAA Tournament
on Friday, UNC knows it must
improve defensively in order to
have a chance at making a serious
run at the title.
“(We need to) make sure we
are staying compact, not getting
stretched out too much,” Merritt
said.
“Today we didn’t make the
right decisions in crucial parts
of the field, and that led to some
goals.”
