WOMEN'S NEWS ... North
Carolina dropped
back-to-back games for only the sixth time in its history when the No.
3 Tar Heels fell
at Miami (Fla.), 1-0, on Beverly
Goebel's unassisted goal with less than 10 minutes to play.
Carolina had its chances, but Maria
Lubrano
hit the crossbar midway through the first half and Casey Nogueira hit
the post with a shot just a couple of minutes before Goebel scored.
The three ACC losses equal the most in history for UNC in a single
season, and it is only the second time in history UNC has lost more
than
one game in ACC play in the same season. Just so Tar Heel fans
know there is hope, they should consider the following: The 2000 UNC
team finished
4-3 in the ACC but did go on to win the ACC Tournament and NCAA
Tournament championships.
* FOXHOVEN NETS FOUR MORE. Danielle Foxhoven became the first
player in
Portland history with two four-goal games in the same
season when she scored four times in the No. 2 Pilots' 8-0 win over San
Francisco. Foxhoven also
scored four goals against Gonzaga in a 7-0 win. She has has now
recorded three hat tricks and 21 goals this
season. Sophomore Halley Kreminski became
the fifth different Pilot to record a hat trick this season when she
scored the
last three goals against USF
to the delight of 4,059 Portland fans who withstood the cold and
rain.
* CHIPPEWAS' STREAK ALIVE. With
its 0-0 tie against Toledo on Sunday, Central Michigan earned its 13th
straight shutout, tying North Carolina's record set in 1989 for the
second longest streak of consecutive shutouts in NCAA Division I
women's history. The
record is 16 straight shutouts set by Santa Clara in 1998. Chippewa
goalie Shay Mannino is riding
a personal
shutout streak of 1124 minutes, the third longest in history.
* MILESTONE. West Virginia
coach Nikki Izzo-Brown earned
her 200th career victory on Sunday afternoon when the Mountaineers beat
Providence, 1-0.
