Tar Heels fail to close
sets in tough ACC loss
UNC now even in conference play
BY scon POWERS
SENIOR WRITER
One night after recording a
comeback win against conference
leading Virginia Tech, the North
Carolina volleyball team could not
put away middling Virginia on
Friday.
The Tar Heels (9-8, 3-3 ACC)
dropped the first set before tak
ing the next two and a five-point
lead late in the fourth set. But UVa.
came back to win that set and the
decisive fifth.
After struggling to win points
early in the first set of each of its
previous three matches, UNC final
ly managed to get off to a hot start
Friday, jumping to a 15-9 advan
tage.
Four Tar Heels combined for
eight kills in that span, led by senior
outside hitter Lauren Prussing’s
three.
“Coach has been stressing that
the entire year,” first-year setter
Erica Behm said of starting strong.
“And it’s just been a matter of actu
ally coming out and doing it.”
But after the Cavaliers (10-8,3-4
ACC) went on an 8-1 run to take
the lead, the teams exchanged
points until UVa. led 28-27, nei
ther team ever leading by more
than one point.

“We try really hard to keep up
our offensive pressure,” Averbuch
said.
“We know that the longer we let
them hang in the game, the longer
it is O-O, the harder it’s going to be
on us.”
Having broken the tie, Averbuch
widened the margin with a bend
ing goal from 23 yards out that was
blocked from the goalkeeper’s view
until it was too late for her to make
a play.
“As it came to me, I was think
ing that I want to blast it so bad,”
Averbuch said.
“But the back of my head said,
Anson’s going to kill me.’ So I
focused on bending it and keeping
it on goal, and I was happy about
the result.”
The Tar Heels controlled the
game with aggressive play, pres
suring Virginia Tech into turn
overs, which quelled the building
Hokie attack while creating plenty
of attacking options for UNC.
“Our girls worked their asses
off,” North Carolina coach Anson
Dorrance said.

To end the 56th point, Virginia’s
Lauren Dickson and Sydney Hill
collaborated on the team’s seventh
block of the set, giving the Cavaliers
a 1-0 lead in the match.
“Our passing broke down. We
did not get any type of balance on
offense from that point on. We had
to set every ball to our outside hit
ters,” coach Joe Sagula said of his
team’s play after taking the early
lead.
“Everybody in the gym knew
that we were passing poorly. The
ball was gonna be set to the out
side hitters. They’re facing a double
block every time after that.”
After the first set, Sagula went
with Behm at setter rather than
senior Stephanie Jansma because
Behm had the hot hands.
“The type of ball that Erica puts
up, Lauren Prussing could take
some better swings,” Sagula said.
“And I think when we’re out of sys
tem, when we’re not passing well,
it seems that Erica puts up a nice
ball.”
UNC cruised to a 25-17 second
set win to tie the match at one set
apiece.
The third set started similarly
to the first set as UNC took a 12-6
lead early but UVa. stormed back
to take a 16-15 advantage.
place, pressurizing their backs,
and the midfield pressure was also
wonderful.”
Regardless of the early strug
gles, the 4-0 victory represents an
impressive win as this same Hokie
squad beat No. 8 UVa., considered
an ACC powerhouse, three days
ago.
“Four to zero against any team
in the conference is a quality win,
especially against a team that has
taken out one of the top tier teams,”
Dorrance said. “So we are very
excited to be where we are right
now.”
Dorrance made sure his team
knew that Virginia Tech would not
be a team to sleep on, a point that
was not lost on his team.
“We definitely are going to
have a lot of respect for any team
that can beat Virginia. Virginia
is a great team,” Averbuch said.
“So coming into the game, we
know that Virginia Tech can play.
They’re going to be a quality
opponent.”
The Tar Heels created numer
ous shooting chances, and most of
their 22 shot attempts were close
to the goal.
UNC was in the driver’s seat all
game and held Virginia Tech to five
Sports
Again the teams exchanged
points until the Tar Heels led 23-22
and two consecutive Prussing
kills clinched the set for North
Carolina.
Up 2-1 in sets, UNC led most
of the way in the fourth set. But
with the Tar Heels leading 22-18,
the Cavaliers went on a 7-1 run to
snatch the set from North Carolina
and force one more.
The fifth set, like its predeces
sors, was a close one. Virginia led
most of the way but never by more
than three points. When the score
stood at 6-9, a 5-2 UNC run tied
it, but then a 4-1 UVa. run put the
match away, the Tar Heels’ first loss
at the Smith Center this season.
“When we were down 6-9,1 told
my assistants, I said, ‘lf we get this
next point, I think we can win this,’”
said Sagula. “We did, and the next
thing you knew, it was 11-11 and
things were looking good. And we
just never got that edge.”
The increased playing time
for Behm was a trend in North
Carolina’s past three matches.
Sagula’s only concern was Behm’s
defensive play at the net.
“The first game we brought Steph
in, try just to create a big block on
the right side and have Steph set
because she’s experienced.”

shots, and only two of those were
on goal. The clean sheet marked
the eighth shutout of the season
for the Tar Heels.
Hawkins, who registered her
first goal of the season as well,
wasted no time in deciding which
she valued more.
“Oh, the shutout, for sure. The
goals are cool, it’s cool to score, but
the shutouts are what matter.”
The redshirt sophomore’s last
goal for the Tar Heels was Nov.
18, 2006, against Tennesse in the
third round of the NCAA tourna
ment.
After starting 25 games in 2006,
Hawkins sat out all of last year
while recovering from an ACL tear
that occurred while playing with
the U.S. U2l team.
Sunday the midfielder was the
linchpin for the defense while also
being involved with two goals.
“Her leadership, as soon as she
stepped in the game, was the mar
gin of victory,” Dorrance said.
“To see her score a goal was won
derful because I really felt like her
performance merited something
special.”

back, we needed to make a step
forward as a team,” coach Elmar
Bolowich said. “Really, we want
ed to look for our season and we
wanted to advance as a program,
and the guys responded.”
They responded with 10 shots, a
whole lot of defense and two goals
from the team’s sole striker, after
the Tar Heels ran a 4-5-1 while
playing without Eddie Ababio, who
saw two yellow cards last week.
And Shriver’s double was the key
storyline in UNC’s dominating play
against Duke (6-4-1,2-2-1 ACC).
With a goal in the 18th min
ute, Shriver started off the scoring
for the Tar Heels on a beauty of a
header that came from Zach Loyd’s
cross.
“It was a perfect ball,” Shriver
said. “And it fell right to my head.
All I had to do was direct it to the
goal.”
Shriver’s second goal was a little
less perfect.
After he was taken down in the
box, play stopped for a few seconds
as the Duke defenders waited for
the referee’s call. But the officials
motioned to play on, and the con
fusion gave Shriver a golden oppor
tunity.
“I think that they stopped and
thought it was a PK, because (the
defender) took me out,” Shriver
said. “And the ball was just sitting
there, so I figured I might as well
just try and shoot it.
“It went in, and the ref counted
it.”
So the Tar Heels’ victory in the
second half was complete with that
goal in the 74th minute.
As Duke turned up the pressure

That also allowed the Tar Heels
to get some pressure on Clausen.
Linebackers and defensive line
men proceeded to make Clausen’s
life miserable and legs tired in the
second half as the quarterback was
constantly chased by blue jerseys.
“We had worked all week in
practice on blitzing,” Mullins said.
“We put a lot of work into it this
week, and it really paid off for us.”
The payoff? Notre Dame man
aged only one scoring drive in the
second half, as opposed to three in
the first.
Three times in the second half,
Clausen was brought down in the
backfield. Mullins’ sack and fumble
recovery was the first of those, as

Brian Shriver had the game's only two goals against Duke on Friday. Shriver,
who had eight career goals before this year, has scored nine this season.
for the remaining 15 minutes, the
UNC backline had more to do,
forcing off Blue Devil drives and
volleying back to the midfield.
But Duke still notched only two
shots in the second-half to UNC’s
five. And in a game when Duke
garnered six offsides penalties
including one that called back a
goal in only the game’s third min
ute seven total shots weren’t
enough.
“It’s really getting people behind
the ball in the right positions, that
helps for the rest of the game,”
senior defender Ryan Adeleye
said. “We have to do less defend
ing, actually, if we get people in the
right spots. Just high pressure.”

quarterback’s face ... you knew you had

evading rushers.
“When you see the frustration in
the quarterback’s face and he’s get

you had him then,” Mullins said.

It was Adeleye who scored the
game-winner in double overtime
in last year’s match in Chapel Hill
—a rebound after a corner kick
that took the game 1-0 for the Tar
Heels.
This time the team didn’t need
overtime.
“Oh, it’s great,” Adeleye said with
a grin.
“There’s just a lot of passion with
this team. Not that we lacked that
last year, but we just have a differ
ent focus. We’re all together.
“It’s just great. It’s a good feeling
to be on this team right now.”

to attribute that to stalwart efforts
from the defensive line rotation,
pointing out that North Carolina
played almost 10 different linemen
to keep up pressure and intensity.
“You count the number of times
that you saw Marvin Austin or one
of those guys turn and make the
tackle from behind,” he said.
“Those guys get wore out. We
were fortunate that we had some
depth there.”
