Frtday, November 4, 1977 Weekender 7 Devils look to ruin Tar Heel soccer plans By TOD HUGHES Staff Writer The Duke soccer team would like nothing better than to play the role of spoiler Saturday ay ! 1 a.m. when it visits Fetzer Field to face Carolina's 11-3-1 hooters. The Blue Devils came out on the short end of most of their ACC games this year, having dropped three of four decisions, but have a better team than that record would indicate. Conversely, the Tar Heels have emerged victorious three times in four ACC outings and are in prime contention for a bid to the national tournament. But Duke has spoiled such high aspirations before. Last year, the Heels entered the Duke game 9-2 and had a tourney bid nailed down if only they could win two of their final, three matches. Carolina outshot Duke 36-2, but lost 1 -0, sending the team into a tailspin which saw it lose the remaining two contests and finish a disappointing 9-5. The position the Heels now find themselves in is strikingly similar to this time last year; a victory over the Devils is essential if their post-season play hopes are to continue. UNC is tied for eighth with UNC-Wilmington in the South. Four Division 1 teams from the Southern region are extended bids to the national tournament. Only three teams ranked above Carolina Clemson, H oward and Appalachian State are from Division 1 . UNC coach Anson Dorrance said the Heels will have to beat out George Washington University, William & Mary and South Florida for that fourth berth. "If we win the rest of our games," Dorrance said, "we'd be in an excellent position to get the bid." But Duke will be out to prove that history repeats itself and brings a talented squad to UNC to make that effort. "They're very good," Dorrance said. "They hav lot of really good players who will be tough to handle. Duke is well-balanced. They've got a good defense, a good midfield and some strikers who can score." Dorrance said he was concered about Blue Devil Richard Murray, who could demand special coverage. "He's tremendous," Dorrance said, "better than anyone on our team. He can play anywhere on the field, but they'll probably have him at center-forward or center-half. We'll probably have to put a man on him (cover him one-on-one " Let the Daily Tar Heel keep you informed J r For more information call 929-8276 128 E. Franklin St..
