DIVISION I MEN

NAVY 8, NO. 4 NORTH CAROLINA 7

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Sophomore attackman Tim Paul scored four goals as the Midshipmen upset the Tar Heels last night at Fetzer Field in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Paul led Navy (10-5) in shots and goals this season and did so again against North Carolina, racking up 13 shots against North Carolina (8-6) goalie Grant Zimmerman.

The Midshipmen led for all but 4:21, handing the Tar Heels just their third home NCAA tournament loss.

Paul opened the game with back-to-back goals — the only two of the first period. Bart Wagner cut Navy's lead in half early in the second, but the Midshipmen maintained their lead into halftime.

North Carolina's Gavin Petracca (three goals) tied the game 4-4 just 34 seconds into the third quarter, but three goals gave Navy the lead it would not relinquish.

The last of those goals was an empty-netter by Terence Higgins (his first of the year), scored when North Carolina was trying to clear the ball. That was an issue all night for the Tar Heels, who had 12 failed clears on 26 attempts.

When North Carolina did get the ball into its offensive zone, Navy's stout defense was even better given the performance of goalkeeper Tommy Phelan. Phelan, making his first start since April 19, made 12 saves to get the victory — his first since holding Maryland to four goals April 5.
