VOLUME 113, ISSUE 103 An unsettling homecoming ALUMNI SAY CAMPUS DISTINCT FROM THAT OF THEIR UNIVERSITY CLASSES BY JULIA FURLONG ASSISTANT FEATURES EDITOR When UNC alumni look back on their col lege years, they are forever nostalgic of the University’s famously enchanting grounds. From the brick walkways to the lush green canopy that shades Silent Sam as he keeps guard over McCorkle Place, the campus holds its own distinct, sentimental signifi cance in the minds of many. But when alumni visit and find that their fond recollections don’t match up with present reality, the return to UNC can be an unsettling experience. During this weekend’s homecoming A HECK-UVA WIN FOR UNC BY BRIANA GORMAN SPORTSATURDAY EDITOR CARY North Carolina women’s soccer coach Anson Dorrance was kicking himself. His team only had a slim 1-0 lead against Virginia in the first half of the ACC Tournament championship game, and he hadn’t spent enough time practicing penalty kicks again. But unlike last year, when UNC relinquished the ACC title to the Cavaliers on penalty shots, the No. 3 Tar Heels cruised to a 4-1 victory in regulation at SAS Soccer Park on Sunday to win their 16th ACC tournament champi onship. “Virginia is a great team and I thought it was going to be down to ONLINE UNC's top scorers amp up their defensive intensity the wire,” said Dorrance. “I wasn’t expecting any kind of margin.” No. 7 Virginia came out of the opening kickoff aggressively, attacking UNC (20-1) and challenging its defense. The Tar Heels struggled early to find an offensive rhythm with a tough defense preventing any UVa. goals. Then, in the 13th minute forward Elizabeth Guess headed the ball into the net off defender Kendall Fletcher’s free kick.

On Raymond Felton’s first offensive possession, he was too fancy with his dribble and lost the ball. Call it inexperience or first-night jit ters, but the two Charlotte Bobcats rook- ies did not display their old Tar Heel form dur ing Charlotte’s 107-105 overtime win against the Boston Celtics on Saturday night. It was the first NBA VQV home game for Felton and May. It was the first game in the glistening downtown Charlotte Bobcats Arena. It was the first time in as long as Felton could remember that he went an entire game with just one assist. “Ooh man it’s been a long time since that happened,” Felton said. “But that’s how it is.” The game was a thriller, but May and Felton didn’t see the floor in the fourth quarter or overtime. That’s how it was. As the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter, the power forward swished a pic ture-perfect jump hook to cut Boston’s lead to one— but it was Melvin Ely.
