"Sometimes you put them in, sometimes you donS." After a tentative start, Julie Blaisse drew first blood for the Tar Heels.

Cocking scores twice, as Heels hold on for 2-1 win By CHRIS SPENCER Assistant Sports Editor GREENSBORO With a bril liant first-half exhibition of offensive soccer, the UNC men's soccer team dumped UNC-Greensboro 2-1 Satur day before 1,200 at the Spartans' Campus Field. UNC moved to 12-4 on the season with the win, while UNC-G, ranked thirteenth in Division III play, fell to 10-7-1. The Tar Heels got strong play overall from Donald Cogsville, Chad Ashton, Dino Megaloudis and Nick Efthimiou. But John Cocking pro vided most of the offensive fireworks, as he netted both Tar Heel goals.

Just 5: 10 into the match", Cogsville dribbled untouched down the left sideline and crossed the ball to Cocking at the near post, who pushed it past Spartan goalkeeper Tony Hannum into the right corner of the net for the early tally. "It's about time," Cocking said of Saturday's productivity. "And ' I'm glad they came in a game that was important to us. On the first goal, I was timing my run and went to the near post. Donald hit me with the pass, and all I had to do was put it in." The Tar Heel coaching staff must have beqn pleased with Steve Draf gisics play Saturday. The speedy Tar Heel defender continually put pres sure on the Spartan defense by making runs down the left sideline and chipping the ball into the goal area to the Tar Heel forwards. One such chip found Derek Missimo with 27 minutes left in the half, but Missimo 's header just missed the left corner of the Spartan goal. Cocking ended the Tar Heel scor ing at 24:17 with a tremendous shot. Again taking a pass from Cogsville on the right side of the field, Cocking, with his back to the goal, turned and rifled the ball into the top right corner of the net past a surprised Hannum. The Spartan offense was ineffective in the first half because they typically took shots from at least 15 yards out, . instead of setting up their forwards in the middle. But once the seconU half began, that all changed. J While early Spartan runs into the Tar Heel defense were easily cut off, UNC couldn't keep them off tre scoreboard. i .' At 55:55, a Spartan cross from the left sideline went through to Neal, who touched it by to a waiting Hamilton. Hamilton's shot beat Royer to the top left 'corner of the net to close the Tar Heel advantage to one goal and stir up the slumbering crowd. T ' But UNC never let up on offense, forcing the UNC-G forwards to come back and help out on defense. Megaloudis stole a pass deep in the Spartan defense with 30 minutes to play and took it in to "he goal area, where he dished off to Cocking. But Hannum got a hand on the sopho more forward's shot to end the threat. The best Tar Heel chance came fite minutes later when Hannum w4s caught out of position after a flurty in front of the Spartan net. But Davjd Smyth's shot at an open goal ws blocked by a defender. J Five minutes later, the Spartans pushed the ball to Jason Haupt, wHo had a one-on-one situation with Dragisics at midfield. But the quicker Dragisics took the ball away, and as he passed it back to Royer, was flagrantly tripped by Haupt. Dragifc ics got up and tapped Haupt's facfe, eliciting loud boos from the Spartdn faithful. : . . ' ' ' i Another Tar Heel near miss canie a few minutes later when Tommy Boykin - exploded through tvJo defenders to pick up a through pass and rifled it by a charging Hannum. But Boykin's shot bounded off the left goal post. ;! , "I had the impression with the W4y the game was going early on that vfe would get a couple more (goals)," Dorrance said. "But they tightened up and played with more initiative. The last 20 minutes, we just wanted to get out with a win." , '
