Murphy steps up for Tar Heels

Rain not enough adversity for Tar Heels

Today was not a good day for sports fans with tight schedules. After hurricane-like storms delayed UNC’s football game against Wake Forest in Winston Salem, rain and lightning arrived at Fetzer Field just in time to push back UNC’s men’s soccer game against Virginia Tech by 90 minutes.


Noted and Quoted: UNC v. Wake Forest Post-game

WINSTON-SALEM— It’s important to remember that while fans may be ready to hop of the North Carolina and Larry Fedora football bandwagon after the first loss of the season, that extenuating factors and circumstances played a major part in the 28-27 loss to Wake Forest.


UNC downs Western Michigan in Carolina Classic

It took the North Carolina volleyball team four sets to defeat Western Michigan Saturday (3-1) but a yellow card to the Broncos turned the pace of the game to the Tar Heels favor. UNC struggled to adjust to Western Michigan’s speed of play in the beginning of the match as the Broncos scored on several tips and deep hits.


Volleyball team thrives in electric home atmosphere

Each player on LSU’s bench stood with her arms wrapped around a teammate’s waist during every timeout of Friday’s volleyball match in Carmichael Arena. Giving seats to active players may have been the motive, but on this particular night, the setup may have also served as a sound barrier against the North Carolina fans in attendance. Yet the defensive wall was not enough to secure the Tigers a victory.


	Anson Dorrance on Summer Green  

	“She’s got all kinds of qualities that are very dangerous. She’s very good at beating people off the dribble. She’s always looking for her shot, and she’s actually an excellent passer.”

Green continues to power Tar Heels

Summer Green isn’t being fair. Not to the North Carolina women’s soccer team’s opponents — during the Tar Heels’ current three game winning streak, she has three goals and two assists. Green isn’t giving them a chance. Last weekend, she scored or assisted on every goal in No. 18 UNC’s wins against Connecticut and Notre Dame. Then on Friday night against No. 12 Marquette, Green blew the game open with two goals early in the second half, pushing the Tar Heels’ lead from 1-0 to 3-0. On the first goal, Green controlled a loose ball at the top of the box with her back to the goal. She pivoted then put a left-footed shot over the top of the goalkeeper. A little more than 10 minutes later, Green took a feed from Ranee Premji that split a few defenders and scored again, easily grounding the ball past the keeper and into the bottom right corner of the net. Between her two goals, Green almost notched another, but her shot from the lower left side of the box tipped off the crossbar.
