Youth breeds success
By DAVID HALL
Staff Writer
DURHAM With Sunday's firm
dismissal of Duke in the first round
of the NCAA tournament, the UNC
men's soccer team has finally begun
to consistently demonstrate the talent
and fortitude that could carry them
far in the NCAA championships.
The 2-0 victory over the perenially
powerful Blue Devils, the Tar Heel's
first ever in Durham and their seventh
consecutive this season, marked the
culmination of a brilliant recruiting
and coaching effort by UNC head
coach Anson Dorrance and his staff.
As the season has progressed, the Tar
Heels began to fulfill their immense
promise.
"The team has definitely begun to
play well, but I believe that they could
be performing so much better," UNC
assistant coach Elmar Bolowich said.
"In the (Duke) game they started out
very slowly; there were a lot of early
lapses on defense. The team was
perhaps too hyper. After that first
goal by Buffin, they began to settle
down and gain a lot of confidence.
They played and won with a lot of
intensity."
The first goal, scored 38: 14 into the
contest, was scored by sophomore
midfielder Marc Buffin, whose recent
strong play is symbolic of the Tar
Heels success as of late. In addition
to his offensive heroics Sunday's
score was his third goal in three games
Buffin was also a crucial part of
a defense that shut out the defending
national champions on their home

field, hardly a small feat.
"Without a doubt, the size and
physique of our defenders is a very
intimidating factor," said Dorrance.
"It helps a lot to have the big blonde
guy (6-3, 195-pound team captain
Dave Smyth) and two big black guys
(the 6-foot, 176-pound Buffin and 6
2, 195-pound junior Donald Cogs
ville) in the backfield. Their quickness
and strength create a lot of mis
matches against smaller opponents."
This sheer juxtaposition of . raw
athletic ability and intelligent
decision-making has been the key
element in Dorrance's attempt to
build a men's soccer power at North
Carolina.
"In the past, it has been extremely
difficult to compete against the
established soccer powers in recruit
ing the top players," Dorrance said.
"Thus we had to find excellent natural
athletes in order to compete on the
field."
The defensive backfield, with 5-9,
170-pound senior Steve Dragisics and
the aforementioned Smyth, Cogsville
and Buffin, is a microcosm of this
recruiting effort.
"This team has its share of players
with excellent soccer skills, such as
(freshman forward Derek) Missimo
and Smyth," Dorrance said. "The key
is to use such players in positions so
that their decision-making will be
important and to use the natural
athletes in situations where they can
exhibit their quickness and strength.'
It represents an excellent balance."
Recent Tar Heel recruiting efforts
have focused on acquiring both of
these types of players. Among the
team's sophomores are starters Buf
fin, John Cocking and Chad Ashton.
UNC's current freshmen include
Missimo and key reserves Tom.

Boykin and Jim Gourlay. Both
recruiting classes were considered to
be two of the nation's best.
"Without a doubt, the strength of
this program lies not only with its
leadership, but also in its wealth of
abundant young talent," Dorrance
said. "WeVe recruited extremely well
for the last two years and this season
we are beginning to reap the divi- !
dends from our efforts."
However, all of this talent that
Dorrance has so meticulously pro
cured would have been meaningless
save for the excellent teamwork and
senior leadership that has guided the
Tar Heels thus far. When asked if
his team could win it all, Dorrance
cited the Tar Heels mental toughness
as a huge edge that few other teams
possess.
"This team has faced, and won
while playing, an extremely difficult
schedule," he said. "In addition,
several of these victories have been
in situations where defeat seemed
unavoidable, particularly against
Clemson and State in the ACC
tournament. Few other teams have
played in as many different game
scenarios, game situations as this one.
These experiences have forged a deep
sense of confidence and purpose in
this squad that could carry them very
far."
Given the team's recent success on
the field, it appears that all of the
complex components of Dorrance's
scheme are finally falling into place.
The UNC men's team is an immensely
talented squad whose major advan
tages are its diligence and inability
to accept defeat. Other programs
must now be compelled to accept the
arrival of a burgeoning force in
collegiate soccer.

Offensive breakdowns beat UNC
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.
Well, now it's over. For the third time
in four years, the UNC football team
must close out its regular season
knowing that it will be going home,
and not to a bowl game, for the
holidays.
Here Saturday, the Tar Heels
played themselves right out of bowl
contention. Representatives from the
All-American Bowl, played in Bir
mingham, Ala., were at Scott Sta
dium and would likely have extended
a bid to the Tar Heels if they had
finished the season 7-4.
But Virginia quarterback Scott
Seniles' passing barrage in the last
four minutes of the game Saturday
beat North Carolina, 20-17, and
shattered those postseason hopes.
The frustrating part is that UNC
shouldn't Tiave lost the game at all.
The Tar Heels had plenty of chances
to put Virginia away, to make the
game a rout and thereby leave the
ACC's leading passer without a
chance to work his magic.
But they didn't and he did.
"This is the most frustrating loss
of them all," said Tar Heel senior
quarterback Mark Maye, who went
7-of-19 for 143 yards and three
interceptions against the Wahoos. WI
know you have to give Virginia credit
for fighting back, but we just didnt
execute, didnt do the things you have
to do to win.

But to be a great football team, you
have to win those games. WeVe had
the opportunities to win them, to be
a great team."
After last Saturday, though, UNC
is a .500 team.
The first Tar Heel drive of the day
gave an indication of the offensive
problems to come. After the UNC
defense smothered Cavalier punter
Fred Carter at his 14, Maye probably
felt confident that he would quickly
get UNC on the scoreboard.
But on second-and-nine, Maye
threw for Eric Lewis at the goal line,
only to watch the ball hit the senior
wide receiver in the hands and fall
incomplete.
From the shotgun formation on
third down, Maye fired again, this
time to Randy Marriott, but Cavalier
cornerback Keith McMeans stepped
in front of the pass and picked it off.
On their next possession, the Tar
Heels quickly moved from the Cava
lier 49 to the 24 thanks to a Virginia
late hit. Two Eric Starr runs picked
up a first down at the 14.
On second-and-seven from the 11,
to host finals
at 3 p.m. and matches No. 6 Iowa
(17-3-2) against No. 2 Maryland (16-4-1).
The Terrapins handed UNC its
only loss this season back in early
October in College Park. The cham
pionship game will be at 2:30 Sunday
afternoon.
The women's soccer Final Four,
however, will be held this weekend
in Amherst, Mass., home of the
University of Massachusetts. The
top-ranked Tar Heels, 16-0-1 and
going after their sixth national title
in the last seven years, will play
California-Berkeley at 11 a.m. Sat
urday in McGuirk Alumni Stadium.
Massachusetts plays Central Florida
in the other semifinal.
While the women head north, the
men must head to Columbia, S.C.,
for a rematch with the second-ranked
South Carolina. The 18-4 Tar Heels,
ranked No. 8, will meet the 16-1-3
Gamecocks at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Maye threw over the middle for Daryl
Parham at the 10, but the big tight
end dropped it. Out of the shotgun
on third down, Maye dumped a pass
off to fullback James Thompson.
Amazingly, Thompson dropped the
ball, too. Kenny Miller's ensuing 27
yard field goal put the Tar Heels on
the board, but a three-point lead
could have easily been 14.
The Tar Heels took the second-half
kickoff with a 10-7 lead. From their
own 8, they moved out to the 40 on
Eric Starr runs and a personal foul
call against the Cavalier defense. On
third-and-17, Maye threw over the
middle for Quint Smith, but the sure
handed wideout dropped the ball.
On UNC's next possession, Maye
hit Marriott from the shotgun at the
Virginia 35. The wideout broke free
of cornerback Jason Wallace's grasp
and raced into the end zone for a
5 1 -yard score. But from there, the Tar
Heel offense went south.
UNC moved from its own 20 to
the Virginia 39, thanks to a 26-yard
sideline by sophomore tailback Torin
Dora, who picked up 116 yards on
25 carries. But the Tar Heels self
destructed again. On the next play,
Maye threw over the middle for
Smith, only to see Virginia linebacker
Phil Thomas step in front of the aerial
and intercept it.
On the Tar Heels' final drive before
Secules rallied the Cavaliers, the
North Carolina coaching staff went
almost exclusively to Dora. Starting
from his own 23, Dora picked up five
off the left side.
The 6-1, 200-pound sophomore
picked up a first down on a five-yard
gain to the right and then netted 10
more yards on a draw, but that's
where the drive ended.
On first down from the Cavalier
49, the Virginia defense closed the
sideline and Dora lost five on a pitch.
Maye then bobbled the second-down
snap, losing one yard. Faced with a
third-and-16 play, the Tar Heel
coaching staff elected to throw short
to Dora, but he only picked up seven.
In the second half, the Tar Heel
coaches inexplicably went to the run
at an almost three-to-one ratio,
putting a great deal of pressure on
the UNC defense, a pressure under
which the defense crumbled down the
stretch.
"I think any loss is hard to take,
and this one hurts, too," Tar Heel
cornerback Derrick Donald said.
"We can't go out there and play it
again; we got our only shot today."
