history. But even though UNC
faced Navy in the first round of the
NCAA tournament for the second
year in a row, this time UNC saw its
season come to an end Saturday at

If the Virginia Cavaliers expect
ed another 11-point walloping
of the North Carolina womens
lacrosse team in the first round of
the NCAA Tournament, they cer
tainly got a rude awakening.
The unseeded Tar Heels
advanced to the quarterfinals
of the tournament after an 11-7
road victory against No. 4 seed
Virginia.

field," sophomore Corey Donohoe
said. “Just remembering that feel
ing, nobody wanted to feel that
way again."
Virginia (14-4) controlled the
board out of the gate, and the
Tar Heels (13-6) fell into a quick
three-goal deficit in less than six
minutes. But UNC refused to go
away, and the Tar Heels respond
ed by dominating the remaining
24 minutes of the half with six
unanswered goals.
“Three goals isn’t a lot to be
down by," said head coach Jenny-
Levy. “So they fought back and
took it one goal at a time.”
Senior Meg Freshwater’s unas
sisted goal jump-started North
Carolina's offensive attack, but
exceptional play by Donohoe sus
tained it. and the sophomore led
the scorers with five goals.

until establishing enough offen

fourth quarter.
“We were kind of dallying back
and forth throughout the game,"
senior Shane Walterhoefer said.
“As us fighting and the other team
battling back, it was one of our
tougher games all year."
Navy came out shooting, though
at first only Tim Paul seemed to
find the net scoring both goals
of the first period, for what would
add up to a career-high four nets.
And although it took UNC until
the second period to get on the
board, once the Tar Heels started
rolling they didn’t stop. Off the
first faceoflf of the second period,
Walterhoefer came up with the
draw and a mere five seconds later
tallied an assist as Bart Wagner
flung the ball into the right comer
of the net.
Walterhoefer went on to win 13
of the 19 faceoflfs, propelling him

assist from sophomore Kristen
Taylor.
Donohoe added two more to fin
ish the half, rounding out North
Carolina's three-goal lead heading
into halflime.
“We just stuck to what we were
doing, and we put the ball in the
back of the net by some great plays
from our players," Levy said.
In the second half, Virginia
ended a 25-minute scoring
drought by netting two goals in
five minutes.
The scoring spurt cut UNC’s
lead to one and had things look
ing difficult for North Carolina.
But the Tar Heels fought back
using their myriad of offensive
threats.
“Other teams can’t just focus on
Corey, and they have to honor all
our players," Levy said.
One player to whom the
Cavaliers perhaps should have paid
more attention was sophomore
Megan Bosica.
As the Tar Heels and Cavaliers
began trading goals, Bosica tal
lied her second of the game off
the draw, putting North Carolina
up 9-6. And though she would
not score any more, her offensive
contributions were far from fin
ished.
As Levy preached, a three-goal
lead with plenty of time still on the
clock was anything but a comfort
for the Tar Heels. And only eight
seconds later, UNC saw its lead
shrink to two.
“Looks goody tastes good ,
feels good. ”

Kevin Frew's 446.
The Tar Heels entered the sec
ond half trailing by one goal, but
Navy quickly went on a 3-1 run,
extending their lead to 7-4 to fin
ish the third quarter. But the Tar
Heels refused to go quietly, and
they began to encroach on the Navy
lead in the final quarter.
But UNC continued to play
catchup with Navy, advancing to
one behind only to see scoring
opportunities slip away.
“There were a couple times when
the ball didn't bounce our way,"
Wagner said. “And when you’re
playing not your best, things like
that aren’t going to help at all."
With 44 seconds remaining, a shot
by Ben Hunt into the back right cor
ner of the net off an assist by Wagner
again brought UNC within one. But
the Tar Heels came no closer.

“We knew if we could get the ball
in (Donohoc's) stick, she’s our best
finisher," Levy- said.
And Bosica took it upon her
self to do just that. With less than
seven minutes remaining in the
game, Bosica tallied two assists to
Donohoe within 30 seconds of each
other. The duo boosted the Tar
Heels to an 11-7 lead and secured
the upset.
“The first time we played
Virginia this season, it was a pretty
big loss, and it was embarrassing."
Bosica said.
“I'm just glad that we came out
and showed our true colors, and
I don’t know if Virginia was pre
pared for that.”
The win marked the team’s third
road NCAA tournament win in
history, and the Tar Heels will be
back in action against No. 5 seed
Syracuse at 1:00 p.m. Saturday in
Syracuse, N.Y.
“We’re going to face a really

“We know it’s more about us than

to tie it up, so that’s a good sign for

said. “1 feel for them right now, but
they did fight hard."
But such has been the story
of the Tar Heel team this season.
Coming off a run into the quarter
finals in the NCAA tournament in
2007, UNC looked to face many
formidable challenges this season,
namely opponents.
North Carolina played 10 of
the NCAA Tournament’s 16 teams
during the regular season, notch
ing a 5-5 record against them. And
despite what many considered to be
the nation’s most difficult schedule,
the Tar Heels earned a No. 4 seed
in their playoff berth the best the
team has seen in 12 years.
“North Carolina is as skilled and
instinctive a team that you will face
offensively," Navy coach Richie
Meade said.
And for a team that averages
almost 10 goals per game, UNC did

There were those that doubted
the North Carolina baseball team.
With their rotation up in the air
and their best closer gone to grad
uation, critics downplayed the Tar
Heels' successes this season as part
of a cupcake schedule.
But ask those critics now about
the boys in baby blue, and you’ll
probably hear crickets.
That’s
because head
coach Mike Fox
has saved the
best for last.

The cagey manager stacked the
tail end of UNC's season with a
veritable Amen Corner of oppo
nents: Florida State. Virginia and
Miami.
In taking two games out of three
from both No. 3 FSU and No. 24
UVa., the Tar Heels have served
notice: Yes, they are that good.
So first at Miami and then in
the postseason, opponents can look
forward to a long sound track of
UNC fastballs, sliders and curves
slapping into the glove of catcher
Tim Federowicz.
Statistically, the Tar Heels are
far and away the best pitching team
in the nation. An ERA of 2.21 bet

not have a single senior among the
top six players on the depth chart
in the attack unit.
The Tar Heels began the regular
season with a five-game winning
streak, suffering their first loss at
No. 1 Duke in a 19-9 drubbing. And
ACC losses became too familiar for
a North Carolina team whose win
less ACC record constituted four of
team's six losses.
But in one late season matchup.
North Carolina was able to shock
defending NCAA champion Johns
Hopkins in a 13-8 rout, winning in
Baltimore for first time since 1994.
UNC went on to finish the regu
lar season with a four-goal wallop
of No. 20 Hofstra on Senior Day at
Kenan Stadium. But the team soon
was met by ACC rival Duke in the
semifinals of the ACC tournament
and suffered a 17-6 defeat.

ters the next closest team by more
than half a run. Starters Alex White
and Adam Warren are backed up
by possibly the best bullpen in the
NCAA.
Only two pitchers on the entire
UNC pitching staff have an ERA
higher than 3.23, and nine allow
less than two earned runs per
game. Asa whole, the unit has
retried 515 batters this year, also
tops in the nation.
And while Federowicz might
need anew glove after the pound
ing the old one will take on the
road to Omaha, the Tar Heel bats
also can sing.
Kyle Seager’s record-set
ting year, combined with Kvle
Shelton's recent offensive explo
sion, have masked the fact that
UNC also retains possibly the
most complete offensive weapon
in the ACC: sophomore Dustin
Ackley.
Admittedly, his numbers are
down from his sensational fresh
man season his batting average
is only .400 this year, whereas last
year it was .402 —but Ackley still

North Carolina took both series
(allowing more than five runs
only once) is an indication that
Fox has his team peaking at the
right time.
Given that body of work, its no
surprise that names from the UNC
roster pepper the top of national
awards across the board.
Closer Rob Wooten is on the
Stopper of the Year Award watch
list for the best relief pitchers
in college baseball, and North
Carolina has an impressive five
players on the Brooks Wallace
College Play er of the Year Award
watch list at its most recent revi
sion more than any other team
in the field, and more than a third
of the 14 ACC players selected to
the list.
The slugging sophomore trio of
Ackley, Seager, and Tim Fedrofl’
are joined on the watch list by
starting pitchers White and Matt
Harvey.
And now, with some proven
wins under their belt, UNC has the
attention of the collegiate baseball
world.
Let’s see what they do with it.
