UNC beat No. 11 Penn State 4-0 in FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 14 Carolina’s convincing 44-12 win, the Tar Heel secondary emphasized the need to eliminate the big play. With receivers Tiquan Underwood and Kenny Britt, the Scarlet Knights boasted an aerial unit capable of going the distance at any moment. Both Underwood and Britt finished 2007 with more than 1,000 receiving yards and are the focal point of a Rutgers’ offense adapting to life without star run ning back Ray Rice.

The Tar Heels have earned shutouts in all four of their wins this year. UNC finished the game with 29 shots and 12 penalty comers. The Golden Rams did not have a shot or a corner. The game was a homecoming of sorts for UNC coach Karen Shelton, a West Chester University alumna, and nine Tar Heels who hail from Pennsylvania. Next up for the Tar Heels is a pair of home games at Henry Stadium. They host Old Dominion on Friday for a 6 p.m. contest then take on Radford at 1 p.m. Sunday. FOOTBALL North Carolina's football team received 31 votes in this week's Associated Press poll, more than the team has received in the past five years. The Tar Heels garnered the fourth most votes in the ACC and three more than Virginia Tech. Fresno State, at No. 25, received 121 votes after losing to No. 10 Wisconsin this week. In the USA Today poll, the Tar Heels received 19 votes. UNC notched 14 votes in the pre season AP poll this year but dropped to a sole vote after the team's game against McNeese State during the first week. Thursday night, the UNC sec ondary proved good on its vow to not be burned through the air, limit ing the Scarlet Knights to one com pletion of more than 20 yards and keeping Teel to a paltry 6.1 yards per attempt. “I just wanted to make sure their deep threats were taken care of” safe ty Deunta Williams said Thursday night “Any deep ball that they were throwing, I wanted to be behind it so I can make the tackle on it.” That strategy was on display as UNC defensive backs routinely gave Rutgers receivers a seven-to-ten yard ing,” she said. “It’s amazing that we’ve done as well as we have with our facility situation in Carmichael. “You consider we’re trying to | Internships REPUTATION ANALYST: Receive college credit for analyzing how NC companies are portrayed in the news media.

The North Carolina volleyball team battled its way back to the .500 mark Saturday as the Tar Heels claimed a 3-1 (25-17,23-25, 25-21,27-25) win against Colorado in Boulder, Colo. Colorado native Lauren Prussing stepped up big for the second consecu tive match and led the team with 16 kills.

That prevented the speedy Britt and Underwood from slipping by corners, forcing the safeties to come over and leaving the middle of the field wide open —a risk associated with bump-and-run coverage. “A big play, no matter who you are, that gets to you,” Burney said. “We kept them from doing that a little bit, and that just helped us out mentally.” NOTED Rutgers beat UNC in total yard- compete with Tennessee and Connecticut. ...

A clip from an article this summer, titled "Sleep number: Not enough hours": "I just haven't been sleeping real well, but it's not because I'm nervous. I think my bed's just too small. "Hopefully I can talk coach (Butch) Davis into getting me one of those Sealy Posturepedic beds because my bed is just too little." age 383-378. But a 16-yard advan tage in average starting field position in addition to the turnover margin sparked North Carolina’s offense. QUOTED “I couldn’t believe it was KB he ain’t but so big. But when he did that, I was like, ‘OK, it’s time to play now.’” Brandon Tate on Burney’s hit on Underwood. Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. “I hadn’t taken a recruit in my office in five or six years. It was so bad.” The new design includes approximately 9,000 square feet of office space, reception area and support space, as well as an 800-square-foot museum area similar to the men’s museum near the Smith Center. “When we go back over there, it will be a state-of-the-art women’s basketball arena.” The Tar Heels will get a taste of the new amenities coming to Carmichael during the 2008-09 season, as they will play home games in the Smith Center while their once and future home is under construction. “It’s an honor to play in a place like the Smith Center,” Hatchell said. “We’ve played over here in years past, some years we’ve played four or five games over here. We’re excited to play here.” And the Tar Heels will get their start early in November, with exhi bition games Nov. 4 and 7- The season opener is Nov. 14 against Western Carolina. North Carolina’s slate includes a visit from Connecticut on Jan. 19 for a clash between two of the nations’ most successful pro grams. UNC also has a matchup against South Dakota on March 15 in between the ACC Tournament in Greensboro and the NCAA tour nament. The unusual wrinkle is by design, as Hatchell felt that the two-week layoff between the tournaments caused past teams to play flat in the big dance. “That’s anew strategy that we’ve used, because the men play the ACC championship on Sunday, and then they play again Thursday or Saturday,” she said. “But we play on Sunday and we don’t play again for two weeks. “We won the last four ACC championships; we’re primed for the ACC. During the ACC tourna ment we’re playing as good as any one in the country. We’re peaked. “But you’re all revved up and ready to go and then you sit for two weeks. It’s just hard to get that edge back.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. Volunteering SCHOOL READING PARTNERS!

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS STANFORD, Calif. ln a match as statistically close as the final score would indicate, No. 3 Stanford and No. 5 North Carolina battled to a 1-1 tie in women’s soccer action Friday night in the first match of the Stanford Invitational. The Tar Heels scored in the 30th minute of play and nursed that lead until less than four minutes remained in the match, when the Cardinal scored the tying goal. After tying the match, Stanford kept the pressure on the Tar Heels. The play of junior goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris in the final three minutes of regulation and in the opening minutes of overtime kept the draw intact. Harris came on at halftime in relief of Anna Rodenbough and finished with six saves in the final 65 minutes, her career high save total for a game. The redshirt junior kept the score tied with three saves in the final three minutes of regulation. In the first overtime period the Cardinal outshot the Tar Heels 6-2, but Harris made back-to-back stops on shots by Christen Press in the 100th minute of play to keep the score at 1-1. Neither team could generate much offense in the second overtime period, with the Tar Heels taking the only two shots of the period. UNC (5-1-1) outshot the Cardinal 18-16 in the match and had a 7-2 edge in corner kicks. PHYSICAL FROM PAGE 14 midfielders than usual. The approach left eight or nine men behind the ball at times, but Tar Heel attackers still were find ing creases through the defense. The problem was that a beaten Wolfpack defense would forcefully drag Tar Heels down by the jersey or arm. “They had to foul a couple times,” coach Elmar Bolowich commented after the game. “Because otherwise it would SOCCER FROM PAGE 14 secure the win. “It’s a relief,” coach Elmar Bolowich said. “We are starting our season 4-0-1, and we have our first win in the ACC. And those games are hard to win, as we know.” UNC does know. Last year the team finished 4-6 in the ACC, with four games decided in overtime. The Tar Heels struggled to find a decision last year in and out of the conference. Five games ended with a draw, so securing this game in the win column was a welcome change. “It’s always good to get a win,” Lewis said. “We’re getting a little bit more lucky this year, and we’re definitely more focused, so that helps out a lot.” Bolowich mentioned luck after the game, as well particularly the good timing, if nothing else, that Lebo came in when he did. “It was maybe lucky that we made that substitution at that time, but certainly any player coming off the bench can add something,” he said. “And that’s something that we stress to our players that are not starting. We say, ‘Hey, when you come in, you better be ready and you better add something.’” On Friday, the bench had plenty T|.,,| • 620 Market St. I.IIIHIIIiI Take 15/501 South towards Pitts boro Exit Market St. / Southern Village THE WOMEN 0 jmmmm RIGHTEOUS KILL! 12W:1W:1M:40 BRIDESHEAD REVISITED 0 i-AROmomso TROPIC THUNDERS 1:1M*7:1M35 TRAITORS J:IN:IM:M4S Outdoof Screen: 9/19 -9/20 JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTO b ■ESL STad,„I 545.00 joto IT A lISEATIwS www.dailytarheel.com A A iltl hMS m A aick on Classifieds !

North Carolina’s defense posted its third shutout of the season, as junior forward Nikki Washington scored a pair of goals and Yael Averbuch, Courtney Jones and Casey Nogueira notched single tallies. It was a satisfying win for the Tar Heels, as the Broncos (3-4) had won four of the previous five meet ings going into Sunday’s match. UNC opened the scoring just 55 seconds into the match on Nikki Washington’s second goal of the season. The goal came off a corner kick by sophomore Meghan Klingenberg. It marked the fourth goal UNC has scored off a comer this season after scoring only once off corners during the entire 2007 season. UNC outshot the Broncos 21-8 and had a 7-0 edge in corner kicks.

And although two more yellow cards were administered to the Wolfpack (and one to UNC’s Zach Loyd) before the game ended, UNC’s overall calmness provided immense dividends in its victory. “I’m very proud of the guys that they stayed the course,” said Bolowich after the game. “They didn’t lose their temper; they didn’t retaliate. We just moved on in the game.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. to add. After starting Brian Shriver left with a hamstring inju ry, Bolowich drew from his bench and eventually played six of his first-year players in the match. “Certainly we have some players who are capable of adding some spark up front, and fortunately the guys did that,” Bolowich said. But the Tar Heels came off the field after the first half discouraged and scoreless. Despite outshooting the Wolfpack (0-3-1) by a margin of 7-2, UNC trailed by one at halftime. N.C. State striker Watt Williams had converted off a rebound, strik ing the ball into the lower left from about five yards out. “I think the goal came at a point where we had pretty much con trolled the game..., and all of a sud den they score a goal, and we were sort of like shell-shocked on that one,” Bolowich said. “But we just had to find a way to bounce back.” And Lebo’s goal, 20 minutes into the second half, provided that incen tive and helped the Tar Heels keep control for the rest of the match. “I mean, we changed our mentali ty a lot coming out in the second half, and it helped,” Lebo said. “And if that goal helped, that’s fine with me.” Contact the Sports Editor at sports@unc.edu. to EGA L CINEMAS BARGAIN SHOWS IN - I * "a- C- o 1 . - A.w TIMBERLYNE 6 933-8600 Weaver Dairy at Airport Rd 80Q-P4NDANGO '741; Adv.
