Women's soccer survives early scare versus Wolfpacfej
By Pete Simpkinson
Staff Writer
RALEIGH Who says the UNC women's soccer team
can't be beat?
N.C. State did it - for all of 7:17 of the first half in
Wednesday afternoon's ACC matchup at Method Road Sta
dium. Although UNC came back quickly for a 3-1 victory, the
first-half deficit marked not only the first time the Tar Heels
had trailed this season, but also the first goal scored against
top-ranked North Carolina.
The win extended the Tar Heels' NCAA-record consecu
tive win streak to 38, raising their season record to 5-0. North
Carolina has a 17-0-2 record against the Wolfpack since
1984. N.C. State, ranked No. 8, fell to 4-2.
The Wolfpack controlled the first 25 minutes of play but
could not hold on against a quick North Carolina squad that
matched State's physical style.
The full-contact match came as no surprise to UNC junior
tm 1 -m
forward Mia Hamm, who might not
have been walking had the game been
played on AstroTurf.
"Every time we play State, that's the
kind of game we expect," Hamm said.
NCSU had 21 fouls for the game to
UNC's 14.
UNC coach Anson Dorrance noted
the lack of execution that plagued North
Carolina's play for much of the first half.
"We played pretty tentatively," he said. "We played with
a sense of insecurity."
N.C. State senior forward Colette Cunningham's goal at
21:07 gave the Tar Heels a wake-up call.
"I think when we went in ... we didn't have a whole lot of
emotion," said Hamm, who had two assists for UNC in the
Angela Kelly
game.
North Carolina set its emotion into high gear at that point,
keeping the ball on the N.C. State side of the field for most of
the half s remaining minutes. The momentum switched to
such a degree that the Wolfpack faithful went wild every time
the home team dribbled past midfield.
UNC wasted no time in attacking State's lead as senior
forward Tracy Donahue took the ball into the N.C. State
penalty box, beat Cathrine Zaborowski, slid past Sandy
Miller and smashed a shot by goalkeeper Michelle Bertocchi
just inside the right goal post at the 28:24 mark.
Two minutes later, UNC sophomore midfielder Angela
Kelly blasted a header just under the crossbar and past the
outstretched arms of Bertocchi. A Hamm comer kick set up
the goal, Kelly's fifth of the season.
UNC scored its final goal at 70:02 when Kristine Lilly took
a perfect pass from Hamm on a fast break and beat Bertocchi
with a worm-burner into the lower right comer of the net.
For the game, UNC outshot State 17-5. State saved one
shot; North Carolina saved three.
Though North Carolina dominated the midfield with iff
transition game, the team's fouling troubled Dorrance. "We
were giving up some really silly fouls," Dorrance said. "A
State player would have her back to us and would be taking
a cross,' and we'd bang her from behind.
"We were giving them a chance to finish by that sort of
ridiculous fouling. Because of how long we've been compel
ing at this level, we're accustomed to getting smacked."
The comeback effort and the play of the freshmen in theif
first conference game pleased Dorrance. However, he sees
room for improvement.
"I'd like to be a little deeper," Dorrance admitted. "I doftl
like the number of injuries we've had to contend with this
early." ini
The game marked the return of UNC junior forward Rita
Tower, who sat out all of last season with a knee injury. "I'm
excited to see her back," Dorrance said. "''ri

Cross country teams set sights on NCAAs
1-2 punch of Williams, Neas leads
mens quest for 2nd-straight bid
By David Monroe
Staff Writer
When the gun sounds to start the
North Carolina men's cross country
season, the Tar Heels should be bat
tling three other squads for the ACC
championship.
"I think the conference race, which
is our primary focus, is going to be
virtually identical to what it was last
year in that North Carolina, N.C. State,
Wake Forest and Clemson will be the
top four teams," said assistant cross
country coach Andrew Allden. "There
is going to be a lot of parity in the
conference like there was last year."
UNC begins its season Friday at
4:45 in the N.C. State Invitational
ACC Preview, to be held in Raleigh.
The Tar Heels are a deep team with
seven returning runners and five new
comers. But UNC must replace its No. 3, 4
and 5 runners. Eric Hichman and Vince
Howard graduated and Ian Urbina
transferred to Georgetown.
"Eric Hichman was a big loss be
cause he was very close to our top
two," Allden said. "We had a very
strong one, two, three and there wasn't
a big gap."
But Allden said he was optimistic
that the team could replace last year's
graduates.
, "I think what we've got to do to be
as competitive as we were last year is
have a better average out of our three,
four and five runners," he said. "They
are going to have to compensate for
not having a quite as strong number
three man, which I think they are
capable of doing."
Seniors Andre Williams and Jarod
Neas give the Tar Heels possibly the
best one-two punch in the conference.
Williams has been UNC's No. 1
runner since his freshman year. Last
season, Williams, an AU-American in
the 5,000-meters in track, finished sec
ond in the ACC Championships and
third in the NCAA District Champion
ship. Allden said last year was Williams'
breakthrough season in terms of reach
ing the next level. "I really think Andre
arrived last year."
Following Williams at the No. 2 spot
is Neas. After transferring to North
Carolina from the University of Penn
sylvania last year, Neas ran second for
the Tar Heels and was an all-conference
selection.
After Williams and Neas, the Tar
Heels will look to seniors Gibbs Knotts
and Keith Mathis, juniors Tom
Burkholder and Phil Hemery and sopho
more Aaron Linz to fill the No. 3, 4 and
5 spots.
Burkholder will miss Friday's meet
because of a stress fracture in his leg.
The injury should not keep him out for
much of die season, though.
UNC will count on freshmen Eric
O'Brien, Mark Hill, Vimal Patel and
Brian Calloway and transfer Scott Laws
to run in the Nos. 3 through 8 spots.
Last year, O'Brien was the second
ranked high school miler in the country,
posting a time of 4 minutes, 6 seconds.
Patel and Hill finished second and third
in the North Carolina State 3-A Cross
Country Meet. Calloway was the state
4-A champion in the 3,200 meters.
. Another advantage for the Tar Heels
is senior leadership, which Allden said
was an important factor in last year's
success. That success included a trip to
the NCAA Championship Meet, and
Allden expects the same this year.
Because of the team's depth and lead
ership, Allden said the Tar Heels can
win the ACC Championship.
"Our goal is to have our best race on
the day of the conference champion
ship," he said. "I think that with our
talent it will be, if we have our best
performance possible from our top five."

Senior Andre Williams has been North Carolina's top runner since his freshman year
McCullough sets pace for 9 returning runners on women's cross country
By Brian Mcjunkln
Staff Writer
Could a pattern be forming for the
UNC cross country teams?
The women s cross country team is
poised to repeat the men's break
through 1991 season, which saw the
men make it to the NCAA finals.
"We're in the same position that the
guys were in last year," said junior
Judith McCullough. "Making the
NCAAs is a big goal of ours, but the
conference is always the most impor
tant thing for us."
The team returns all nine runners
from last season's squad, which fin
ished fourth in the ACC, behind N.C.
State, Clemson and Virginia.
"We'd like to break into the top
three," said assistant track and cross
country Andrew Allden. "But we're
still a young team.
The Tar Heels are led by
McCullough, an All-ACC and Aca
demic Ail-American performer.
McCullough, who placed ninth in the
ACC and 14th in NCAA District III, is
returning for her second year as team
captain.
"A strength of our team is that many
of the girls on the team are really good
athletes, and not just good runners,"
McCullough said.
Both Allden and McCullough feel
that the ACC is one of the premier
conferences in the nation.
Said Allden: "You could honestly
argue that the ACC is the strongest
(conference) in the country. The top
four or five teams match up well."
The team has expanded to include
more runners this season, and the squad
may need the extra bodies because sev
eral of the Tar Heels are ailing.
Sophomore Kelly Donahoe, who was
13th in the ACC and second for the Tar
Heels, has an undetermined shin injury,
but she expects to return to top form
soon. Fellow sophomore Stephanie
Beckes (14th in ACC, third on team) is
recovering from a mild bout of mono
nucleosis. "My only symptoms were I was feel
ing tired," Beckes said. "I could keep on
running, but the problem comes with
hard runs and intervals, when I get re
ally tired."
Meanwhile, Shannon McKay, the
lone senior and the fifth best runner on
the team last season, is still healing
from a bicycle accident she had last
year.
McKay points to the team's unity as
a remedy to overcome the injury prob
lems. "All of the girls on the team get
along and help each other."
Big things are expected of junior
Julie Armor, who was fourth on the
team last season.
"She came back (from the summer)
in really good shape, is very strong, and
has been making good progress since
her freshman year," said McCullough.
"She has a chance of being our top
runner.
Junior Melissa Benncr and sopho
more Andrea Bailey are expecting to
post strong challenges to the top five.
Benner was third in the ACC indoor
mile for the 1991 track team, and
Bailey has shown dramatic improve
ment since last year.
"N.C. State, Wake Forest and Vir
ginia put more emphasis on distance,
which makes it harder for us to com
pete," Allden said.
"We try to put an even emphasis on
indoor (track), outdoor (track), and
cross country."
UNC's facilities, among the best in
the ACC and the country, and its grow
ing tradition in women's track bode
well for the Tar Heels chances.
"One thing about North Carolina is
that women's sports are respected,"
Allden said. "Winning a women's
ACC championship is every bit as
significant as a men's ACC championship."
3 Michigan players declared ineligible
The Associated Press
Three Michigan basketball players
have been declared ineligible until the
NCAA decides whether they violated
rules by being paid for some appear
ances. Sophomore standouts Jalen Rose and
Chris Webber and senior Eric Riley
were declared ineligible for an indefi
nite period of time, said Percy Bates, the
university's faculty representative to
the NCAA.
Questions arose when the three were
paid $300 each for their appearance in a
charity basketball tournament last
month.

Men's soccer attempts:
to end struggle, hosts s
Carolina Classic Invites
By David Monroe
Staff Writer
After its first five games, the North
Carolina men's soccer squad finds it
self trying to put its season back to
gether. The Tar Heels, now 1-3-1 , will take
the first steps toward doing that this
weekend when they host the Carolina
Classic Invitational at Fetzer Field. Play
begins Friday at 5 p.m. when UNC
Greensboro (3-1) takes on Navy (3-1)
and continues at 7 p.m. when Tulsa (2-1-1)
clashes with UNC.
. On Sunday, UNC-G will play Tulsa
at noon, and the Tar Heels will face
Navy at 4 p.m.
Although UNC head coach Elmar
Bolowich has not seen either Tulsa or
Navy play, he expects the games to be
tight matches for UNC. "It will be emo
tionally difficult because we have to
come back from this now, and we have
to clean out our mess and try to get back
on track."
Following Tuesday night' s 2-1 upset
to NAIA foe Belmont Abbey, the faces
of the UNC players showed a lot of
disappointment and a lack of confi
dence, "It is not like this is a bad team and we
are going down the tubes or something
like that," Bolowich said. "I want our
players to stay focused, because even
though we are 1-3, which is kind of ,
tragic early in die season, I still believe
we can tum this around.
"You better believe that we will try
our best to turn this around and I am
convinced at the end of the season we
will have a good season."
The ideal scenario for the Tar Heels
would be to sweep the weekend con
tests. "Obviously if you go out of this
with two wins, you even out your record
and you improve," Bolowich said. "It
gives you the necessary confidence. That
is what we are looking for right now.
"We are just looking forward to com
ing back out of this with two W's and
getting back in the picture."
UNC hopes an injured Gregg

Berhalter can return to the lineup this
weekend. Bolowich said a Berhalter
return would solidify a defense that
suffered several breakdowns against
Belmont Abbey. Bolowich said
Berhalter' s return would stabilize the
defense and would strengthen the
midfield because it would allow Chris
Lyn to move up into the midfield.
Another problem for the Tar Heels
has been their inability to score. Against
Belmont Abbey, UNC got off ,17 shots
but made good on one, a penalty kickx(f
took the Tar Heels almost 23 minutef
before they took a shot.
But Bolowich thinks the team'sprolf
lems are mental, not physical, technicxjl
or tactical. "The thing you can work;eft
is just try to keep the players focusSl
and making sure they remain focu$ij
and get their competitiveness and SjJ
gressiveness back," he said.
Sophomore forward Ben Di Mp
added, "I think the team is going to hav
to toughen up a little. The main thing-'ts
we've got to play for 90 minutes, tffc
can't react to what happens, get scorch
on and ha ve to react and come back.
