QlJje Smly (Ear Hwl Tar Heels march into history BY DANIEL PRICE STAFF WRITER After a quick glance at the sea son statistics for the North Carolina field hockey team, it’s not hard to see how it finished the regular sea son undefeated. Look again, and it’s difficult to see how they have any weaknesses at all. The No. 1 Tar Heels (18-0) have scored 83 goals on the season, while only surrendering nine. In fact, UNC opponents have taken just 73 shots this season, 340 fewer than the Tar Heels’ 413 attempts. UNC, the lone remaining unde feated team in the country, leads the nation in goals scored, goals allowed, scoring margin and shutouts. “Statistically we’re doing well,” head coach Karen Shelton said. “But as I like to tell the kids, now we’re in a second season. Everybody’s 0-0.” With its win against No.-10 Old Dominion on Saturday, this year’s squad became only the second team in UNC field hockey history to finish the regular season undefeated, join ing the 1995 Tar Heels, who went on to win the ACC and NCAA titles. But this team has something the ’95 unit did not. Depth. And the 2007 Tar Heels have taken full advantage of that, as 24 different players have played, with 14 picking up goals. To compare, the 1995 team had 16 players on its H-back gets involved as Terps loom BY JESSE BAUMGARTNER SPORTS EDITOR While a variety of big plays helped Wake Forest squash North Carolina 37-10 on Saturday, UNC’s minus-3 turnover margin certain ly stood out as one of the game’s deciding factors. Two of the turnovers were T. J. Yates interceptions, but the other resulted from a punt that hit UNC sophomore Richie Rich in the foot and was recovered by the Demon Deacons at the UNC 22. Head coach Butch Davis said the use of a “rugby”-style kick that goes low and rolls on the ground is becoming more and more popular in college football. “We’ve gotta do a much better job of communicating when the ball is on the ground,” he said. “The ball almost hit us once prior to that.

Of the Tar Heels’ top five goal scorers, four are seniors Rachel Dawson, Jesse Gey, Laree Beans and Alii Tanner have accounted for 43 goals this season. “The bottom line is the seniors are leading the way,” Shelton said. Beans said a national title would be a great way for the seniors to fin ish their UNC campaigns, but right now it’s the last thing on her mind. “I try not to think about it too much,” she said. “It’ll drive you crazy.” After a slightly slower start to the season on the defensive side of the ball UNC allowed at least one goal in each of its first five games —a refo cus on defense led to an ACC-record tying nine straight shutouts. “We really recognized individual defense,” Beans said. “Being solid was a focus of ours. We’re still striv ing to have a good strong defense, still looking to get better.” Two late goals surrendered in a 4-2 win against William & Mary on Oct. 12 were the only scores UNC surrendered after Sept. 8. The Tar Heels earned the No. 1 seed in this weekend’s ACC Tournament in Newton, Mass., gamering a bye into the semi-final round where they await the winner of Boston College vs. Virginia. Should the Heels win, there is a strong possibility they would play national No. 2 Maryland or No. 3 once the ball is on the ground to communicate verbally and visually so that they know to start looking for the football, try to identify it.” Pianalto adjusting to HB Freshman Zack Pianalto has been slowly adjusting to the half back position this season, and Saturday was his most productive day with six catches for 55 yards. When Davis recruited Pianalto, he explained that he would move around and fine up anywhere from the offensive line to wide receiver. Pianalto, who played wide receiver his whole high-school career, said squaring up against bigger defensive linemen has been an experience. “I’d never got in a three-point (stance) and blocked a (defensive) end,” he said. “It took me a while, and I’m still working on it.

Great is stretching things a little bit. Mediocre would be a better word, as the Iterps stand at 4-4 on the season and 1-3 in the ACC after a loss to Clemson this weekend. But UM does have an impressive win on the road against Rutgers, and they also feature a talented two-pronged running attack with Keon Lattimore and Lance Ball.

A group of Shiite and Sunni clerics, meanwhile, were res cued one day after they were kidnapped in the capital after meeting with the government to discuss how to coordinate efforts against al-Qaida in Iraq. In a reflection of the extraordi nary complexity of Iraq, the U.S. Hot sauce could be used in surgery WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) Devil’s Revenge. Spontaneous Combustion. Hot sauces have names like that for a reason. Now scientists are testing if the stuff that makes the sauces so savage can tame the pain of surgery. Doctors are dripping the chem ical that gives chili peppers their fire directly into open wounds dur ing knee replacement and a few other highly painful operations. Don’t try this at home: These experiments use an ultra-puri fied version of capsaicin to avoid infection —and the volunteers are under anesthesia so they don’t scream at the initial burn.

The military did not reveal its evidence, but has claimed that so-called rogue Shiite groups are doing everything possible to stop Iraqis from joining U.S. forces even in the fight against the Sunni al-Qaida in Iraq. Suicide bombings, viewed most often as the work of al- Qaida, have taken a mighty toll among police and army recruits and are carried out to discourage Iraqi men from joining the coun try’s struggling security forces. Woman says FBI used mob muscle NEW YORK (AP) - The FBI used mob muscle to solve the 1964 disappearance of three civil rights volunteers in Mississippi, a gangster’s ex-girlfriend testi fied Monday, becoming the first witness to repeat in open court a story that has been lore for years. Linda Schiro said that her boy friend, Mafia tough guy Gregory Scarpa Sr., was recruited by the FBI to help find the volunteers’ bodies. She said Scarpa later told her he put a gun in a Ku Klux Klansman’s mouth and forced him to reveal the whereabouts of the victims. 9
