Laurel Hershey and the UNC field hockey team were able to stick it to ODU Saturday but couldn't evade Northwestern Friday
By NEIL AMATO
Staff Writer
The words from Old Dominion field
hockey coach Beth Anders told the
story.
"We were just hit by a tidal wave,"
Anders said after second-ranked North
Carolina whipped up on No. 1 ODU 5
2 Saturday on the AstroTurf Field.
The UNC offensive tsunami pounded
in four goals in a 15-minute span to up
its record to 1 2-2 while ODU fell to 1 3
1. Imke Lempers scored her 17th and
18th goals of the year to help the Tar
Heels achieve a weekend split against
the nation's finest competition. On
Friday, UNC dropped a 2-1 decision to
fifth-ranked Northwestern'. ODU re
bounded from its loss by defeating
Northwestern 2-1 on Sunday.
"After the Northwestern game, we
knew we had to win," senior captain
Leslie Lyness said. "We needed to come
out strong, and we really geared our
selves well."
North Carolina coach Karen Shelton
was pleased because the victory keeps
UNC in the top four in the country,
which means UNC would get a first
round bye in the NCAA tournament.
The win may also be enough to vault
the Tar Heels to the top of the national
rankings.
"It's possible," Shelton said. "We'll
find out Tuesday when the poll comes
out."
Lempers started the scoring spree 10
minutes into the game with an unas
sisted goal. The Netherlands native took
a ball on the far right side and ripped a
liner that ricocheted off Lady Monarch
goalkeeper Kathy Fosina's pads and
into the net.
Lempers scored what proved to be
the game-winner with 13:21 to go in the
first half on a penalty corner. After
junior Peggy Anthon hit in and Lyness
stopped the ball, the freshman right
midfielder cranked a shot past Fosina
that deflected off an ODU stick into the
goal.
UNC struck again just six minutes
later when Lyness scored on a penalty
stroke. The 1988 All America pushed
the ball to the right corner of the goal as
Fosina went to the left.
Senior forward and birthday girl
Kathy Staley closed out scoring in the
first period at the 25:01 mark. After
collecting a long pass from Laurel
Hershey, Staley, who turned 22 Satur
day, dribbled the ball down to the cor
ner and advanced goalward. The fleet
footed Staley poked the ball past Fos
ina for her 16th tally of the year.
Old Dominion scored twice in the
final 10 minutes of regulation, after
Anders had added an extra field player
by pulling Fosina with 18:31 left.
After a goal by Winnifred Sanders,
ODU's Maaike Hilbrand pulled the
Lady Monarchs to within three scores
with five minutes remaining. Off a
penalty corner, Hilbrand, also from The
Netherlands, scored her 18th goal of
the season on assists from Sanders and
Carolyn Sarr when she rocketed one
past UNC goalie Evelien Spee, another
Dutch player.
Unlike the Northwestern game, UNC
made the most of its opportunities. The
Tar Heels, who outshot ODU 17-16,
recorded 25 shots to Northwestern' s
nine. But the Tar Heels were unable to
put the ball in the goal.
After early goals by UNC's Cathy
Osmers and Northwestern's Becky
Myers, the Wildcat offense was held in
check while the UNC missed on count
less chances. Northwestern, which had
only two shots on goal in the second
half, finally broke through with 1:18
remaining when freshman Amy Vail
put the ball into a vacated net after Spee
was forced to come out.
The loss was especially dishearten
ing for UNC because the Tar Heels
knew they had played well.
"I was devastated after the loss more
than in any one in my career," Shelton
said. "When you don't play well, you
don't deserve to win. When you play
well and dominate every aspect of the
game and still lose, that's tough to
take."
Womem; ternis finishes home flate updefeafted

The North Carolina women's tennis
team mixed it up on the William &
Mary Indians Saturday at the UNC
Tennis Center.
The Tar Heels won a couple of quick
blowouts and added victories in some
long, close matches to defeat the Indi
ans 6-3 and finish their fall home sched
ule undefeated.
Senior Valerie Farmer helped get
the Tar Heels going by again accom
plishing one of her personal goals for
the season. Farmer was the first Tar
Heel to finish her singles match, and
she avoided being the last singles player
off the court.
Farmer won the first 10 games of the
match at the number-five singles slot
on her way to thumping Indian Daniel le
Webster 6-2, 6-0.
However, Farmer barely finished
ahead of freshman Cinda Gurney.
Gumey gave the Tar Heels a quick 2-0
match lead by winning her number-two
singles 6-2,6-1 over William & Mary's
Jane Wood.
"Cinda played more of her game
today," said UNC head coach Kitty
Harrison. "She just dominated."
Sophomore Gigi Neely gave the Tar
Heels a fairly comfortable 4-2 lead
going into the doubles matches by
winning the number-four singles 6-4,
6-4 over Indian Cynthia Mitchell.
Though the Tar Heels needed to win
only one doubles match to wrap up the
match, coach Harrison wasn't about to
celebrate yet.
The number-three doubles team of
Diana McCarthy and Neely helped
Harrison breathe easier by taking their
match 6-2, 6-2 over the team of Bon
hoff and Mitchell.
North Carolina had clinched the
overall match win, but the two most
exciting matches of the day stayed on
the court.
In a virtual replay of the doubles
matches against Princeton last week,
the Tar Heels split a pair of three-set
thrillers as both matches went into third
set tie-breakers.
The final match of the day was taken
by the Indians as the team of Durak and
Caister won the number-one singles 4
6, 6-4, 7-6(7-2), over UNC's Gina
Goblirsch and Gurney to close out the
6-3 score.
UNC drops 5th straight ,
a Cav roil to 50-1 7 win

Here's a riddle: What wears blue and
white and tackles?
m Answer Who knows?
When Virginia running backs, re
ceivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, towel
boys, etc. took the field against UNC
Saturday afternoon in Scott Stadium,
the Tar Heel defense did its matador
imitation, waving the Cavaliers on
through for touchdown aftertouchdown
until the scoreboard operator begged
for mercy.
:: Meanwhile, the North Carolina of
fense, which despite everything played
its best game of the year, helped the
UVa cause by turning the ball over four
times to give the defense still more
Opportunities to show its generosity.
:- By the time the dust cleared (wait, is
there dust on an AstroTurf field?),
Virginia (5-2, 3-1) had a 50-17 victory,
and the Tar Heels (1-5, 0-3) had a
whole lot of turf burn and a long plane
"ride home.
X "We had to play our best to have any
chance to beat a team like Virginia,"
UNC head coach Mack Brown said.
"And today we didn't play well defen
sively, and we turned the ball over
offensively.
"When we do both, we're not near in
a position where we can have a chance."
The Tar Heels allowed Virginia 5 1 3
total yards, six touchdowns, two field
goals and a safety. All four UNC turn
overs, which included two intercep
tions and two fumbles, resulted in
Cavalier points 24 of them in all.
The last time a team reached the half
century mark against North Carolina
was five years ago, in a 52-20 loss at
Boston College.
; "We 4id not stop what they were
doing throughout the afternoon," Brown
said.
With some of the 34,600 fans still
trickling in, UNC actually took a 7-0
lead at the start of the game, scoring
easily on its first drive. Quarterback
Jonathan Hall shocked not a few on
lookers when he took the first snap and
completed a 27 -yard pass to Joey Jauch.
Fullback Michael Benef ield did the rest
of the work, carrying up the middle on
seven of the Tar Heels' next eight plays
before Aaron Staples plunged in from
the one.
"We started off real strong," flanker
Randall Felton said. "We went right
down the field and did whatever we
wanted to do."
That was not the Tar Heel offense
anyone expected to see. It was a bolder,
more powerful attack which operated
soasily and efficiently that a longshot
victory seemed not so long anymore.
But, alas, this romance with success
was short-lived. Virginia came right
back with a touchdown on its first
possession, driving 77 yards on 1 1 plays
and hinting that whatever UNC could
do UVa could do better.
'To win the ballgame the way it was
starting, we were going to have to get in
a scoring battle with them," Brown
said, "and we're not at the point where
we can be that way against a good team
like Virginia."
The Cavaliers then galloped away,
scoring on their next two possessions to
build a 21-7 lead early in the second
quarter. The teams then traded field
goals before the half, giving UVa a 24
10 advantage going into the third quar
ter. Virginia's offense, led by quarter
back Shawn Moore, seemed to baffle
Tar Heel defenders. Moore, who threw
for 205 yards and two touchdowns and
ran for 35 yards and another score, led
an attack which offered the option play,
the running of tailback Marcus Wilson
and the passing of Moore to tight end
Bruce McGonnigal and wide receiver
Herman Moore.
"They're so diversified that it's hard
to get a bead on them," UNC tackle
Cecil Gray said.
The Tar Heels had by far the most
trouble with Wilson and the Cavalier
running game. Virginia racked up 300
yards on the ground, with Wilson re
sponsible for 113 of them. The 6-1,
204-pound junior was more evasive
than explosive, cutting and sidestep
ping to leave a wake of men in blue
behind him.
"You never get a solid hit on him,"
Gray said. "He's shifty, and he's just a
talented player."
The Virginia air attack featured the
Moore to Moore connection, with
Shawn hitting Herman four times for a
total of 1 1 6 yards, 53 of which came on
a post over the middle for a touchdown
less than a minute into the third quarter.
That put UVa up 31-10, and the
Cavaliers went on to score 19 more
unanswered points before Staples
scored again on a three-yard run mid
way through the fourth quarter.
, Meanwhile, Hall and the Tar Heel
offense showed promise but not re
sults. The senior quarterback completed
1 6 of 28 passes for 205 yards, including
a 62-yard pass play to Felton, but two
fluke interceptions in the first half, one
on a pass tipped at the line and the other
on a throw that bounced off tailback
Eric Blount's helmet, set UNC back for
good.
"I thought we did some good things
offensively, and it's just frustrating
because we stopped ourselves," Hall
said.
