With or without their key injured
players, the Tar Heels haven’t
missed a beat and have rolled to a
7-0 start to the year.
Each win has been by double
digits, and none of the opponents
looked capable of beating the Tar
Heels.
UNC crushed its three oppo
nents Chaminade, Oregon and
Notre Dame en route to a Maui
Invitational Championship by a
combined 89 points.
Lawson was named to tourney’s
MVP after putting up 22 points and
11 assists against the Fighting Irish.
“It was just basically my team
mates making shots for me and
taking care of the ball, not putting
it in jeopardy,” Lawson said after
the game. “I’m playing real well

Along with Lawson, the Tar
Heels are led by two vastly
improved players Danny Green
and Deon Thompson.
After stepping into a starting
role, Green is averaging 14.6 points
per game and is showing off a new
found stroke from beyond the arc.
Thompson has emerged as a
force down low and is averaging 15.6
points and 8 rebounds per game.
As North Carolina gradually
incorporates Hansbrough —and
eventually Ginyard back into
the rotation, it will be paramount
that Green and Thompson keep up
their high levels of production.
Because judging by how UNC’s
season has gone so far, there’s no
telling what might happen next.

And coach Mike Fox was named
Coach of the Year by Baseball
America.
“The thing that swayed us was
the fact that he turned a program
that was an afterthought in this
area into a national contender,”
said Aaron Fitt, Baseball America’s
national writer.
“He’s done a terrific job this sea
son. It’s so difficult to achieve that
kind of consistency.”
For much of the season, the sure
hand and sweet swing of sopho
more first-baseman Dustin Ackley
led the way for the Tar Heels on the
diamond.
Ackley finished the season with

.417 as the leadoff batter, a year
after becoming just the fifth Tar
Heel in history to bat at a .400
clip or better.
But while Ackley’s consistency
was set the tone, in the postseason
it was Tim Fedroff’s bat that was
swinging wild.
Fedroff went on a late-season
tear, earning all-tournament hon
ors as UNC waltzed into Omaha
with five straight wins.
And even though UNC found
some late-season success at the
plate, the Tar Heels’ bread and
butter still could be found 60 feet,
6 inches from home on the
pitchers’ mound.
UNC’s trio of starters, Alex White,
Matt Harvey and Adam Warren,
combined for a 29-7 season record.
White in particular emerged
as one of the top pitchers in the
nation, registering a 13-3 record

with a 2.83 ERA.
And nowhere was White’s star
power more on display than in
Omaha. The junior started UNC’s
opening game against LSU and
shut down the power-hitting
Tigers as North Carolina rolled
to a 8-4 win.
“If he’s not the first player taken
in next year’s draft, I’ll be sur
prised,” Fresno State coach Mike
Batesole said after the two teams’
third meeting.
Following UNC’s first loss
to eventual national champion
Fresno State, White served as a
closer in every single remaining
game including a dramatic
closeout performance against
LSU in an elimination game.
Twice while in Omaha, UNC was
saved by clutch home runs.
The Tar Heels stayed alive in their
first elimination game against LSU
on the strength of a Tim Federowicz
grand slam in the ninth inning that
provided the margin in a 7-3.
Against Fresno State in the next
game, senior Chad Flack sent a
two-run shot over the left field wall
to keep his team’s season and his
college career alive.
But UNC came up just short
of the title series when their bats
went cold and they mustered only
one run in a 6-1 defeat at the hands
of Fresno State in the round’s last
elimination game.
But while the Tar Heels yet
again fell short of a national cham
pionship, they did add an 18-player
recruiting class to make up for the
loss of six starters to the MLB.
All signs point to a continuance
of the routine.
