The Hurricanes’ defense brought
a physical style of play to Chapel
Hill, racking up 14 fouls.
“Their team had a lot of pressure
on us,” midfielder Yael Averbuch
said. “All our hardest games this
season have been against very
physical teams.”
Alonzo played admirably in the
loss. She made 14 saves and was
under constant pressure from the
UNC offense, which registered a
total 33 shots in the game.
“I was impressed watching her
in a warm-up, and I turned to
Bill Palladino, my assistant, and
I said, ‘What’s the scouting report
for this goalkeeper?’” coach Anson
Dorrance said.
“He said it’s very good; she’s ath
letic and gets to a lot of balls. And,
sure enough, she proved that.”
But it was Alonzo’s one mistake
late in the game that led to the Tar
Heels’ lone goal. She shanked a goal
kick just past the box that UNC’s
Jessica McDonald intercepted in
the game’s 84th minute.
McDonald then was able to find
Casey Nogueira, who lined one into
the bottom left comer that the diving
Hurricane keeper couldn’t reach.
Though the team didn’t get
many chances to score, Miami had
its closest chance denied by an
unlikely source.
When the game was still score
less, the Hurricanes had beaten
keeper Ashlyn Harris on a header
off of a corner kick, and the ball
seemed destined to reach the back
of the UNC net.
But midfielder Meghan
Klingenberg denied the potential
goal just before it rolled in and
foiled Miami’s best opportunity.
“In a game like this, those little
things make a huge difference,”
Averbuch said. “It was good that
Kling was there and we cleared it
out, but it could have easily gone
the other way.”
But the story of the day was how
UNC reacted to Miami’s physical
ity. The rough play was reminiscent
of earlier matches against Notre
Dame and Florida State, who had
given the Tar Heels their toughest
challenges of the season and a loss
and a draw, respectively.
Ali Hawkins said she thinks
UNC is learning to counter this
type of play.
“You just have to go back with
the same attitude they’re coming
with at you,” she said.

to a slump that began with the sea
son-ending ACL injury of leading
scorer Danielle Forword.
“It took us a few weeks to han
dle losing Dani,” Shelton said.
“But we’ve accepted the fact. She’s
had her surgery; she’s not coming
back this season. We’re over the
shock.”
They certainly seemed it Sunday.
The shutout win featured no slump
ing offense, a problem prevalent in
the Tar Heels’ losses this season.
In its four defeats, UNC com
bined to score just three goals on
47 shots. On Sunday, six Tar Heels
accounted for nine goals on 32
attempts.
“A lot of people contributed and

teams,” UNC Director of Athletics
Dick Baddour said in a statement
issued Oct. 21. But Baddour is
not about to go resting on his
laurels.
“As successful as we have been,
we’re working toward even higher
numbers in the future.”
While the success of any student
athlete ultimately comes down to
the individual, UNC like many
other schools and universities
has a host of departments to thank
for its success, namely Academic
Support Services.
Hosted in the Pope Academic
Support Center next to the Kenan
Field House, Support Services pro
vide student-athletes with access
to individual and group tutoring,
study lounges and academic advis
ers.
Each team has different
requirements for its members,
but most range from six to 10
hours of mandatory study time,
Mercer said.
That time can be split up
between quiet study, group study
and individual or group tutoring,
among several other options.
Those programs in addition
to urging from coaches make
sure the student-athletes remem
ber where their priorities should
stand.
Senior Britt van Beek, an exer
cise and sports science major and
forward/midfielder on the UNC
field hockey team, is glad to have a
guide looking just over her shoul
der.
“With field hockey being such a
big part of your life in college, it’s
easy to forget about academics, but
here they don’t much let you forget

scored goals,” senior Kate Scholl
said. “It was a total team effort,
and it’s a good thing to take into
thq postseason.”
•helton attributed much of the
resurgence to her senior class, who
made its final appearance at Henry
Stadium.
“It was awesome because every
body wanted to play out of their
socks for the seniors,” said junior
Illse Davids, who had two goals
herself.
And the seniors themselves were
hardly left out of the show. Scholl
and senior Britt van Beek combined
for three goals and one assist.
With two goals, Scholl doubled
her season total. All four have come
since Forword’s injury.
“It felt good; it’s a confidence
booster,” Scholl said. “It was mainly
about it,” she said.
“(UNC field hockey coach Karen)
Shelton always tells you, ‘You’re a
student first, then an athlete.’”
And Shelton has a good reason
to say that. In her words, “Success
breeds success.”
“I’ve also found in the past that
my most successful teams also
performed well in the classroom,”
Shelton said.
“It’s a reflection of their disci
pline with their studies and their
athletics.”
That discipline is made evident
with just one late-night trip to the
support center.
The center is open until at least
10 p.m. on school nights, and it’s a
good thing.
With schedules that already are
jam-packed with class, practice
and weight training, sometimes
late evenings are the only times
student-athletes can find for study
ing.
“We will have, on average, any
where from 45 to 100 or so stu
dents in here at night,” Mercer said.
“I mean, space is an issue.”
But crowded or not, apparently
the center is doing its job.
When told of the rates’ release,
Shelton, whose team scored a 91
percent graduation success rate,
was quick to credit the University
and her student-athletes for their
success.
“The kids that we recruit come
here to get an education. And they
come here to play athletics at the
highest level. So they get the best
of both here,” Shelton said.
“And I’m not surprised at our
level of success, and I would only
expect it to continue.”

It took the whole team to get it
there, and I was just the last piece

Van Beek, the team’s second
leading scorer behind Forword,
continued her role as a dual-threat
midfielder and forward with a goal
and an assist.
“Britt’s really stepped up her
game in Dani Forword’s absence,”
Shelton said. “She’s leading every
day on the practice field, leading by
example.”

On the field, van Beek has played
a key role in the team’s press and
defense, both points of focus for
the team following last weekend’s
7-0 loss to Maryland, the second
worst in UNC history.
“We went over video, which
definitely helped us see we weren’t
playing how we usually play,” van
Beek said.
“We kind of left the loss behind
us. We are moving forward and
looking forward.”
