(El|p Sailg ®ar Uppl Winget tries to preserve starting keeper position BY DANIEL MALLOY SPORTS EDITOR She’s the senior, the All- American, North Carolina’s all time saves leader. But Aly Winget wasn’t good enough. In the Tar Heels’ only loss of the season, she let in two goals against Duke, and in UNC’s next game, she was yanked after giving up an easy goal to Boston College. Enter freshman Anna Rodenbough, who came up with three clutch saves in that game. Hello, goalkeeper controversy. Since Rodenbough’s auspicious debut, she has split time with Winget in goal. Against Virginia Tech last week and N.C. State on Thursday Rodenbough played the first half and Winget the second. “As Bobby Knight said, ‘There’s no better-coach than the bench,’” said Coach Anson Dorrance. “So we sent her there for some coach ing. And the nice thing about not playing is if you want to play, you’ll do whatever is asked of you. And she’s responded.” On Thursday, Winget gave her response and made a case to keep UNC downs Deacs in OT FROM WIRE REPORTS WINSTON-SALEM - Freshman Michael Callahan scored his first career goal just more than six min utes into the first overtime period to lift No. 10 North Carolina past No. 17 Wake Forest, 1-0, Saturday at Spry Stadium. The Tar Heels (11-3-1,2-3-1 in the ACC) snapped a three-game ACC losing skid and defeated the Demon Deacons (9-4-2,1-3-2) for the first time since 2000. After neither team could manage a goal in regulation, Callahan beat a defender in the box and buried the shot in the far comer of the goal for the game-winner in the 97th min ute. With the goal, Callahan became the fourth freshman to score for the Tar Heels this season. Junior Justin Hughes started in goal for the third time in the last four games and made three saves. Tar Heels bounce back at B.C. CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. FIELD HOCKEY FROM PAGE 12 Despite Tran’s steadfast perfor mance in the net, the Tar Heels already were down, 2-0, at the half. And though they shut out Maryland in the second, it wasn’t enough for a win. With 2:21 to play, the Tar Heels finally scored when Britt van Beek tipped one in on a penalty corner shot, but it was simply too little too late. A lack of offense, in fact, has been a sticking point for the team all season. Of the six schools in the ACC that have field hockey SOCCER FROM PAGE 12 that every time.” After White’s perfect strike, though, the Tar Heel offense mus tered few scoring chances. Six minutes into the second half Lindsay Tarpley hit a through ball to a streaking Jaime Gilbert, but Gilbert’s shot was saved by a diving Selz, one of her eight in the game. Then, in the 72nd minute, Seitz made another diving save after both Tarpley and Kendall Fletcher had chances to bang home a comer kick. That was the best chance UNC would have for the rest of the night. N.C. State kept fighting, almost matching shots with the Tar Heels, 15 to 9, and Dorrance was quick to credit the Wollpack’s tenacity. Despite their lowly record, the ’Pack now have lost five ACC matches by a single goal. And down by a goal, the Wolfpack had several chances to tie the score late something that Dorrance was not quick to forgive. “There’s an inconsistency in them, as was demonstrated again (Thursday),” Dorrance said. “That is terrifying. “The last five minutes, we made one technical or tactical blunder after another, which kept the ball in their hands, throwing it into our box. And that’s just not accept able. “It’s not acceptable and it’s certainly not going to bode well unless we can gain a confi dence and correct some of those issues.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. the spot she’s held since her fresh man year. “We have to challenge each other,” said senior Kacey White after UNC’s 1-0 win. “That’s how you know who’s the starting 11, who’s supposed to be out there.” And Winget proved she was sup posed to be out there with less than 13 minutes to play and the Tar Heels clinging to their slim advantage. Wolfpack forward Ashleah Dingle slipped past the back line and col lected a pass with nothing but Winget and net in front of her. She fired a shot just under the crossbar, but Winget knocked it harmlessly over the bar with a spectacular leap. On the ensuing comer kick, Winget again deflected a shot over the goal, preserving the North Carolina win. Though neither keeper allowed a goal, it was Winget who made the outstanding plays, while Rodenbough only faced one shot on goal, which was nothing but a weak kick right at her chest. Despite her impressive per formance against the Wolfpack, Winget’s .795 save percentage head ing into Thursday’s game was a dis mal seventh in the ACC among start Senior outside hitter Dar.i Nyenhuis had 20 kills and 15 digs, while senior libero Taylor Rayfield had 31 digs to lead the North Carolina volleyball team to a four-game win against Boston College on Sunday afternoon, 30- 20, 31-33, 30-27, 30-28. The win came after the Tar Heels lost in four games at ACC leader Maryland on Friday, 17-30, 30-25, 20-30, 24-30. Senior outside hitter Camilla Ihenetu added 18 kills for UNC (14-7,9-2 in the ACC) on Sunday, while Abigail Hasebroock led B.C. (6-15,1-11) with 21 kills. Carlotti, Pomeroy fall at ITA On a tough day for the North Carolina men’s tennis team, the Tar Heels saw their competition in the 2005 Intercollegiate Tennis Association Mideast Regional come to an end. Benjamin Carlotti and Brad Pomeroy advanced the teams, UNC ranks fifth in goals per game and fourth in shots per game. “We just have to capitalize more on our chances,” said junior forward Laree Beans. “We have some good passing patterns up the field, and then we just need to finish.” After the game, Tran straggled to explain what it will take to moti vate her squad to finish and play up to its potential, admitting that she isn’t quite sure herself. “If I knew exactly what to say in that huddle before every single game that would make the team come out and kick the crap out of the other team, I would say it,” she said. “But I don’t. And I think part of it is every one has to find it in themselves.” But with only two games left in the regular season, at No. 7 Old Dominion and at home against No. 6 Penn State, and the ACC FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE"* FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ★ FREE ' f/reec/o/n < jin as "sA music-filled celebration of the First Amendment C / mm mam* Freedom Sings is a critically acclaimed multi media experience featuring an all-star cast of musicians.

Although her goals against average is stellar, Winget faces few shots each game, thanks to UNC’s world-class defense. The biggest problems she had were technical. “We had issues with her starting position against Duke and Boston College, and she’s corrected that,” Dorrance said. In this high-stakes audition for NCAA Tournament glory —one keeper will play the entire game Winget made her case. “I’m not sure I made a statement about who’s the better goalie, but I made a statement for myself,” she said. “I made a strong argument about who deserves to play in the tournament.” The most important statement, however, was the victory Winget locked up on a night when the offense straggled. “Anna stepped up and challenged her, but I think Aly’s responded well and she put in a great game tonight,” White said. “She saved us there at the end.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. furthest for UNC, as they reached the third round of singles play at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Carlotti was eliminated from the bracket in the third round with a loss to Wake Forest’s Cory Parr. Senior captain Brad Pomeroy notched a second round vic tory against Juan Cross of East Tennessee State, 6-2, 6-4 before suffering a loss to James Lloyd of Radford in three sets. Women's golf falters late KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - The North Carolina women’s golf team slipped three spots on the leader board in the third and final round of play at the par 71 Cherokee Country Club in this year’s Mercedes-Benz Women’s Championship. The Tar Heels shot a team score of 312 Sunday to post an overall score of 920 for the tournament and finish tied for 11th out of 14 teams. Tournament looming beyond, the Tar Heels have a short amount of time to do some serious soul searching. Given the fact that Old Dominion just shellacked the Terrapins last Friday in a 4-1 rout and the Tar Heels have lost to all but two teams in the conference, some sort of solu tion must be found. Of all the problems facing the team, though, perhaps the biggest is what Shelton sees as a sense of laziness and a lack of desire in some of her players. “Generally we tend to be blue collar,” she said. “We take pride in it. We talk about it in this locker room, but we’re not doing it. And so, you know, you can talk ’til you’re blue in the face. We’ve got to start playing —and we’re run ning out of time.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports @ unc. edu. BACKFIELD FROM PAGE 12 cess. Edwards said McGill’s return even has helped his own resur gence. “Ronnie, I mean hey, that’s a lot of motivation right there,” Edwards said. “That’s the guy who stepped up.” As for the nicknames, Edwards —a transfer sophomore in his FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 12 planned on becoming at the begin ning of the season,” said linebacker Larry Edwards. “That’s not going to hold us back from achieving our goals.” But even the Tar Heels’ most dominant defensive performance since 2001 nearly wasn’t enough, as the offense managed just a first quarter touchdown in support of its inspired defense —and even gave the Cavaliers two points when long snapper Warren Green air mailed punter David Wooldridge in the second quarter and the ball sailed out of the end zone for a safety. Quarterback Matt Baker threw for only 98 yards and one touch down, a two-yard lob to fullback Rikki Cook in the first quarter. He also threw one interception, a second-quarter pick on an ill advised delivery into a crowd of Cavaliers. And on the senior’s best oppor tunity for a momentum-turning play, wide receiver Mike Mason allowed a sure touchdown pass to hit him in the hands and bounce away. “We need to get the passing game going,” Baker said. “We need to make more plays. I need to make some better throws, and the receiv ers have got to make some more catches.” Luckily for the Tar Heels (3-3, 2-1 in the ACC), the defense made just enough plays to compensate for the offensive woes the reverse of an all-too-common occurrence in recent years. Linebacker Jeff Longhany, rel egated to a reserve role since the start of the season, made the first such play late in the second quar ter. Virginia quarterback Marques Hagans floated a pass toward tailback Michael Johnson near the corner of the end zone, but Longhany maintained his posi tion and swatted the pass to the ground.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 24, 2005 first season as a Tar Heel took the high road and deferred to his counterpart. “I’ll give him as much of the credit as powerful, just a little more physical,” Edwards said. “I don’t knock his speed but some times he tries to knock mine. I owe him one, that’s all. I owe him one.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. “We’re always taught not to look at the quarterback that’s when your man gets away from you,” Edwards said. “Jeff played it real well he didn’t look back one time. He played his man, played the ball, and it was just a great play.” The Cavaliers (4-3,2-3) threat ened again midway through the fourth quarter, trailing by two after a 37-yard Connor Hughes field goal. A 13-yard reception by Deyon Williams across the middle brought Virginia nearly within Hughes’ range. But on third down, Kareen Taylor flew into the backfield untouched and sacked Hagans for an eight-yard loss —and big play No. 2. “He likes to dip in and go out side, and I was waiting for him to make a move outside,” Taylor said. “When he did make a move out side, I was there.” And with the Cavaliers once again driving for the go-ahead field goal in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Tar Heels came up with what Coach John Bunting called “the defensive play of the year.” The outside blitz of cornerback Cedrick Holt and the penetra tion of defensive tackle Shelton Bynum forced Hagans from the pocket, and Chase Page pursued the quarterback nearly to the sideline. “I’ve never seen Chase move that fast before in my life,” said linebacker Tommy Richardson, laughing. When Hagans rifled a pass along the sideline intended for Williams, strong safety Trimane Goddard deflected it into the air and straight into the hands of the onrushing Holt. “Somebody needed to make a play,” Holt said. “Anybody could have made the play. Luckily, it just came to me.” North Carolina will need to con tinue to rely on a little luck if it is to win games in which its offense pro duces no points in the final three quarters. But with the Louisville rout a notable exception, the North Carolina defense has proven it can make enough plays to win games the hard way if neces sary. “That’s the way things are sometimes,” Bunting said. “They’re very, very hard some times. The big thing is, it goes down as a ‘W,’ and you can never take it away.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. 'ri...
