NORTH CAROLINA SOCCER 3

2001 Carolina Men’s Soccer

2001 CAROLINA PREVIEW Carolina looks to stay at the top despite losing 78 percent of its goals and 56 per cent of its assists from last year’s squad. The 2000 season arguably was the best in men’s soccer history at the University of North Carolina. The Tar Heels won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship with a thrilling, 1-0 overtime win over Virginia in the title game. Carolina, which had been ranked No. 1 in the nation for much of the second half of the season and won a school-record 15 games at one point, was the top overall seed in the 2000 NCAA Tournament and reached the quarterfiDefender nals before losing to two-time defending Danny Jackson national champ Indiana, 1-0. “Last year helped the confidence of all the players who were on the team,” Carolina head coach Elmar Bolowich says. “I think the guys will be hungry to repeat what we accomplished, establish ourselves at the top of the college soccer world and battle for ACC and national championships.” The accomplishments of last year’s team won’t help the 2001 Tar Heels on the field, however. Chris Carrieri, who led the nation in scoring a season ago, bypassed his final year of college and entered the MLS as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 MLS draft. Lost to graduation are forward Caleb Norkus and midfielder Eddie Robinson, both of whom are now playing professional soccer. Also lost to graduation are second-team All-ACC midfielder and four-year starter Michael Bucy, big-game performer Matt Laycock and experienced reserve midfielder Carson Porter. In addition, sophomore midfielder Logan Pause, who would have been the team’s leading returning scorer, will miss the season after undergoing knee surgery over the summer. In sum, the 2001 Carolina team will be missing five starters, over 78 percent of the goals and 56 percent of the assists tallied by last year’s record-setting squad. To help counter the losses, Bolowich has brought

in a recruiting class that includes eight freshmen and a junior transfer. “We lost over 50 goals from last year, so we’ve got to solve that problem somehow, probably with our young players,” he says. “That won’t be easy, but we also have to rely on our defense and win some 1-0 games. We’ve got all of our defenders and our goalkeeper coming back, so we need to be able to accumulate shutouts, even in big games. “We lost a lot of leadership and Logan will be out for the year,” Bolowich continues. “Logan would have been a natural leader because he knows the game, he takes charge and he organizes. Our more experienced guys will have to step up and lead the group. A lot more focus is on these guys now in terms of their leadership and their maturity. They need to do more than just lead by example this season.” DEFENSE The Tar Heels’strength in 2001 will certainly be its defense, which led the ACC with 0.75 goals allowed per game last year. Carolina returns all three starting defenders and goalkeeper Michael Ueltschey, who led the ACC in shutouts, goals against average and save percentage. “Michael played with a different level of confidence, particularly toward the end of last season as the games got tougher,” Bolowich says. “He stepped up to the plate in several of those games. He made some tremendous saves in the ACC final against Virginia. We need him to remain confident and lead the defense from the back.” Entering his fourth consecutive year as a starter, senior sweeper Danny Jackson earned second-team All-America and first-team AllACC honors last season. He will serve as Carolina’s team co-captain for the third year in a row and has recovered from an off-season ankle injury. “Danny is a natural leader, he knows our system and he knows what I expect him to do,” says Bolowich. “He knows how our defense should line up and how our midfield should operate. We’ve talked many times about his role as a leader on this team, and he’s willing and capable of accepting that responsibility.” Joining Jackson as co-captain is senior marking back Chris Leitch, a three-year starter and strong candidate for All-America honors this fall. “In my opinion, Chris is one of the best defenders in the country because he has speed, he’s relaxed and doesn’t defend recklessly,” Bolowich says. “He controls his environment and if you assign him a task, he’s probably going to fulfill it. That’s what he takes pride in.” The final link to the Carolina defense will be sophomore marking back David Stokes, an all-conference candidate. He underwent knee surgery in the spring but should be at full strength for the season opener. “David should be 100 percent healthy by the start of the season, assuming nothing unforeseen happens over the summer to hinder his recovery,” Bolowich says. “His experience last year as a starter can help him be a dominant defender this season.” The trio of Jackson, Leitch and Stokes played almost every minute of every game last year. With Ueltschey entering his third straight year as the undisputed starter in goal, Carolina should boast one of the nation’s best defenses once again this season. “We didn’t substitute much on defense last year and our defenders pretty much played 90 minutes a game,” says Bolowich. “I hope that will be the case again. That’s part of the way we play at Carolina — our forwards and midfielders are the legs on the field, while our defenders have to concentrate more as they stay back.”

play a defensive midfield position. Tim also will get significant playing time if not start. He’s a very versatile player who can play anywhere from defensive midfield to center forward to out wide on either side.”

Defender David Stokes MIDFIELD Carolina’s midfield is a question mark entering preseason practice in light of the graduations of Bucy and Robinson and the injury to Pause. “We are asking a heck of a lot of our midfield in terms of intense play, running non-stop and creating things,” says Bolowich. “I don’t know how we’re going to reshape our midfield with Logan not being there this season. I could see that one or two freshmen will start for us, and it could be in the midfield or up front.” Senior Noz Yamauchi, who in three years as a regular starter has established himself as one of the ACC’s top playmakers, returns to the flank. He can also play forward. “I hope that Noz will step up and have his best season yet,” Bolowich says. “Noz is not naturally a leader, but he can lead by example by being consistent, by being there when we need him and making an impact.” Matt Crawford started 22 games last year and tallied seven assists. He also returns to the midfield. “I think Matt will take more of a vital role — he’s a competitor,” says Bolowich. “When Eddie [Robinson] graduated, we lost a ballwinner. I hope Matt can fill some of that role in the middle. Grant Porter has to be a ballwinner in the midfield as well, taking over for Logan. I think Matt and Grant will be a good combination for us in the midfield.” Porter, a sophomore who started eight games as a defensive midfielder last fall, will move into a starting role this season. However, with the season-ending injury to central midfielder Logan Pause, Porter could spend much of his time in Pause’s spot rather than his more Goalkeeper natural defensive position. Michael Ueltschey “We have alternatives, in terms of Grant being able to play a role in the back line as a sweeper or marking defender, but he also will take on additional responsibilities in the midfield with Logan’s injury. Freshmen Raymond Fumo and Tim Merritt are candidates for starting jobs as well. “Raymond is a tremendous player in terms of the way he sees the game,” Bolowich says. “He’s very intelligent, makes good decisions and hardly gets himself into trouble. He can

FORWARDS Freshmen will play a big role on the offensive end for Carolina this season. The Tar Heels must Midfielder contend with the deparNoz Yamauchi tures of Carrieri, a consensus first-team AllAmerica, and Norkus, the 2000 ACC Tournament MVP and the fourth-leading scorer in school history. Bolowich hopes that a group of several forwards can come close to replacing the 40 combined goals Carrieri and Norkus scored last year. One potential starter is junior Ryan Kneipper, who scored two of the biggest goals of last season. He scored the overtime game-winner versus William & Mary in a driving snowstorm in the first-round of the NCAA Tournament. He also scored in the NCAAsecond-round win over Rhode Island. “Ryan is in the hunt up front because he is a versatile player who can play attacking midfield or forward,” says Bolowich. “We need to see how his defense has improved, but he’s definitely a seasoned player who has scored some big goals for us. He’s our biggest player up front and creates a good target for crosses and corner kicks.” Another candidate for a starting job at forward is David Testo, a North Carolina native and junior transfer from the University of South Carolina. A two-year starter for USC, Testo tallied a combined six goals and 11 assists for the Gamecocks in 1999 and 2000. “Testo is an accomplished player, he can be very good,” Bolowich says. “He has to be consistent and get used to our system. Once he knows his role, I think he’ll be a contributor.” A pair of freshmen also aims to earn starting jobs on the front line this fall — Parade AllAmerica Jonathan Davis and the speedy Marcus Storey. “I see Jonathan up front, being our target player with the departure of Chris Carrieri,” says Bolowich. “Jonathan is a very dynamic player who constantly works the defense. That kind of work ethic creates opportunities for himself and for other players up front for us.” Bolowich continues: “Marcus Storey can play on the flank or up front because he’s very, very fast. We’ll have to see how he can defend, but he’s an explosive player.” Sophomore Sean McGinty started seven games last fall and could contribute as a forward or attacking midfielder as well.

THE ACC THE ACC’S TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE Consistency. It's the mark of true excellence in any endeavor. However, in today's intercollegiate athletics, competition has become so balanced and so competitive that it is virtually impossible to maintain a high level of consistency. Yet the Atlantic Coast Conference has defied the odds. Now in its 49th year of competition, the ACC has long enjoyed the reputation as one of the strongest and most competitive intercollegiate conferences in the nation. ACC schools have captured 82 national championships, including 40 in men's competition and 42 in women's. In addition, 120 men and 31 women have earned the coveted title of NCAAchampion. 2000-01 YEAR IN REVIEW The 2000-01 academic year concluded with the league pocketing three more national team titles and four individual NCAA crowns. In all, the ACC has won 39 national team titles over the last 11 years. The ACC's 2000-01 national champions were North Carolina in women's soccer, Duke in men's basketball and Maryland in women's lacrosse. Overall, ACC teams posted a 73-56 (.566) mark in NCAA Tournament play. The ACC placed at least one team in the Top 10 nationally in 15 of the 25 sports sponsored by the league. Other records of note during the 2000-01 season include 98 teams competing at NCAA Championships, five bowl teams and 43 Top 10 showings. The ACC Academic Honor Roll record was broken for the 14thstraight year in 1999-2000 as 1,664 student-athletes were recognized for their work in the classroom. THE CHAMPIONSHIPS The conference will conduct championship competition in 25 sports during the 2000-2001 academic year - 12 for men and 13 for women. The first ACC championship was held in swimming on February 25, 1954 at NC State. The 12 sports for men include football, cross country, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, tennis, golf and lacrosse. Women's sports were initiated in 1977. Championships for women are currently conducted in cross country, volleyball, field hockey, soccer, basketball, swimming, indoor and outdoor track, tennis, golf, lacrosse, softball and rowing. A HISTORY The ACC was founded on May 8, 1953, at the Sedgefield Inn near Greensboro, N.C., with seven charter members - Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest. Later in 1953, conference officials admitted the University of Virginia. The first, and only, withdrawal of a school from the ACC came on June 30, 1971 when the University of South Carolina tendered its resignation. Georgia Tech was admitted to the conference in April of 1978, and Florida State joined in July of 1991.

2001 Carolina Men’s Soccer

HEAD COACH ELMAR BOLOWICH Elmar Bolowich, the 2000 Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year, has propelled the North Carolina men’s soccer team a status to among the nation’s elite. Last year, he guided the Tar Heels to perhaps the best season in school history. Now, with Bolowich entering his 13th season as Carolina’s head coach, the pieces are in place for UNC to remain a powerhouse program in 2001 and beyond. In the fall of 2000, Carolina earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament, shared the ACC regular-season championship, won the ACC Tournament and came within a game of reaching the Final Four for just the second time in school history. UNC ended the regular season ranked No. 1 in all the national polls. Equally impressive, the Tar Heel team posted its highest cumulative grade point average ever in the spring of 2001, a team GPA of 3.13. “Elmar is one of the finest coaches in the nation,” says UNC athletic director Dick Baddour. “He recruits not only extraordinary athletes, but also tremendous students and quality people, to Carolina. And the results he’s achieved on the field speak for themselves.” Bolowich, 46, has been associated with the Tar Heel program since 1986. He was named head coach on March 2, 1989, by former Director of Athletics John Swofford. He is only the fourth head coach in North Carolina’s 54-year men’s soccer history. Under Bolowich, the men’s soccer team’s grade point average consistently has been among the highest of any men’s team on the Carolina campus. In 2000-01, midfielder Michael Bucy was named Academic AllAmerica for the third year in a row and 12 team members were named to the ACC Honor Roll. Furthermore, eight Tar Heels were named to the Dean’s List last year. Bolowich was honored in January 1999, with the National Intercollegiate Soccer Officials Association National Merit award, which is given annually to one college coach whose reputation is recognized by soccer officials as praiseworthy and reflective of the highest standards of professional and ethical behavior. Bolowich has compiled a career record of 141-88-13 in his 12 full seasons as UNC’s head coach. Among the most impressive items on Bolowich’s coaching resume is his track record of producing fine international and professional players. Ten former Tar Heels who played under Bolowich played professionally in the U.S. in 2001, and another is active at the highest level in Europe. Defender Eddie Pope ranks among the best defenders in the world today. A member of the U.S. National Team, Pope started for the 1996 Olympic team and the ‘98 World Cup team. Pope, who led D.C. United to MLS championships in 1996, 1997 and 1999, is regarded as perhaps BOLOWICH’S RECORD AT CAROLINA Overall ACC RS ear Record Record 1989 9-9-1 1-4-1 1990 13-7-0 2-4-0 1991 15-6-1 3-3-0 1992 9-7-4 2-2-2 1993 13-7-2 2-2-2 1994 13-7-0 3-3-0 1995 11-8-1 0-5-1 1996 8-8-1 2-3-1 1997 6-13-0 1-5-0 1998 11-6-2 3-3-0 1999 12-7-1 2-3-1 2000 21-3-0 5-1-0 otals 141-88-13 26-38-8 *Rankings: Soccer America/NSCAA
