2008 Preview
Head coach Jenny Levy sat down
with TarHeelBlue.com prior to the season to preview the 2008 campaign for
the Tar Heels. The following are
excerpts from that conversation.
Karen Jonas
On replacing 10 seniors
from the 2007 team that
reached the ACC championship game and the NCAA
Final Eight:
Levy: “We lost 10 seniors from
last year, and a lot of them had been
starters or seen significant minutes
since their freshman years. We lost
some experience, we lost some “glue
kids” and we lost some players who Amber
were really at the top of the NCAA Falcone
Division I game at their positions. The
biggest things we focused on in the fall
were plugging new faces into new spots and establishing new roles for some
of the younger players. I don’t feel like we have as much experience going
into this year as we did last year in terms of our older kids. Our younger players will be asked to do more because many of them got a lot of valuable experience last year and are ready to step up.”
On the squad’s highly-rated freshman class:
“You hate to rely on freshmen, but of the group we brought in I think six
were All-Americas. In the fall we tried to see how they fit in with our upperclassmen, see who was ready to play because they all are extremely athletic
and their skills are good. I have been impressed with all of them and some will
be asked to step in and play some big roles.”
On the goalkeepers:
“My two returning keepers are Logan Ripley and Amanda Barnes.
Amanda is a senior who has gotten a tremendous amount of work since she’s
been here. She waited patiently behind [Kristen] Hordy and has come in very
focused, really elevating her level of play. Besides her ability to save the ball,
she communicates well and is one of the best outside the crease with the ball
in her stick. She will be a key for our ability to get the ball out quickly in transition. Amanda has worked hard to become a really good goalie. It wouldn’t
surprise me to see her as our starting keeper in the spring.
“Logan Ripley backed up Hordy last year. She is a really talented goalie
and will also be vying for the starting spot. Our freshman goalie Lily
Haydock has come in and done a nice job in practices for us — she also is
very solid in the cage and is working hard. Overall, I’m pleased with our
goalies. Their high level of play is challenging our shooters to get better, all
three are hard working and competitive and bring a great attitude to practice
every day.”
On the defenders:
“Defensively, the biggest highlight we return is our junior captain Amber
Falcone, who I think is the best defender in the country. Her athleticism, her
speed, her footwork, her stick skills and natural instincts are second to none.
She played with the U.S. Developmental team in the fall and I know the
coaches are really happy with her play. She’s only played two years in college but plays like she’s been a starter for 10. This summer she committed to
her fitness and has been focused this fall to fine-tune the details of her play.
Amber is among the most elite that I’ve seen in the country and we will rely
on her to anchor our defense this season.
“Jamie Hanssen brings in three years of starting experience and also is a
captain for us. She knows the game, she is cool under pressure and transitions
the ball well. Along with Amber, she is going to be the leader in the back.
“A freshman who has come in and done good things for us defensively is
Taylor Chumney, who has good size, footwork and stick skills. She is smart
and has a good understanding of the game and is everything we thought she
would be when we recruited her. You could potentially find her in the starting
lineup. She was in the mix in the fall along with Britta Williams, a senior
who is fast and really athletic. She has been working hard on all aspects of
Erica
LaGrow
a full recovery and is ready to play.”
her game and provides the team a spark
and energy.
“Do not be surprised to see Katie
Fitzgerald out there. She’s more of a
defensive midfielder who is the fastest
player on our team. She is athletic,
aggressive and intense and has the
knack for making things happen on the
field. Meredith Newton is a walk-on
who has been a great addition to our
defensive unit. She comes from an outstanding high school program and is
very prepared to make the transition to
the college game. I have been very
impressed with her play this fall.
Jocelyn Brault and Caitlin Young,
who are both juniors, have also been
working hard to improve and give us
depth. Dana McCreary is coming off a
redshirt with a knee injury but has made
On the midfield:
“Meg Freshwater is one of our senior captains, returning more as a
defensive middie. Her speed, athleticism and big-game experience will be a
key for us all over the field. Meg is explosive and started playing at an
extremely high level at the end of fall.
“Erica LaGrow is playing great. She made the U.S. Elite team last summer and it’s really accelerated her game. What I have been most pleased with
this fall is Erica has taken her outstanding physical abilities and learned how
to use them effectively. She’s a force on the field, a player that you have got
to mark. She’s made some brilliant plays this fall.
“We also will rely on junior Kelly Taylor and sophomore Jenn Russell.
Kelly is a member of the U.S Developmental team. She played really well at
the end of last season and positioned herself as one of our best midfielders.
Kelly is incredibly competitive and has the ability to take over a game. Jenn
had a really great freshman year, contributing significant minutes in every
game last season. Jenn is a complete player, with great footwork and lateral
speed defensively while being an offensive threat.
“Some of the midfielders giving us depth who we were impressed with
this fall are sophomore Kristen ‘Cookie’ Carr and freshman Mia Hurrin,
who is coming off playing for the U-19 team this summer. We like to utilize
our midfield depth come gameday and these two will be key to the system we
run.
“Freshman Rachel Zimmerman could also provide depth as well. She
has great hands, speed and athleticism. She is working hard to transition into
the college game.”
On the attack unit:
“Julia Ryan will play more as an offensive mid this year than she did last
year. We’ve slid her further into the attack end because we need her leadership. Julia has been working on the attack with Megan Bosica, who came in
really focused in the fall and did amazing things on the field. The game slows
down for Meggie, which allows her to see the field and decision-make so
effectively. Only sophomores, Meggie and Kritter [Kristen Taylor], who is
playing with the U.S. Developmental team, are incredibly dynamic together.
Like her sister (Kelly), Krit is so competitive and tough.
“In addition, freshman Corey Donohoe fits in great with her ability to
play-make, read the game at a high level, feed and finish. I expect to see
Corey in there from the get-go. She was brilliant offensively in the fall and
is an attacker like we haven’t had a lot of in this program.
“Junior Chelsea Parks also mixes in with this group. She’s a big, lefty
target who is versatile and a good combination with our offensive group.
“Juniors Meghan Clarke and Jenn Flaherty will provide depth and leadership. I’m looking forward to watching freshmen Kaitlyn Messinger and
Sarah Kuonen continue to gain confidence and adjust to the college game.
Once they find consistency in their games, watch out, because we have seen
moments of sheer brilliance from both of them. After two years of struggling
with a knee injury, Sarah Neff has been back at practice.”

Two-time ACC Coach of the
Year
Levy’s teams are known for their
consistently strong academic performances and community involvement in
the Chapel Hill area. The Tar Heel women’s lacrosse team annually
places a significant portion of its members on the ACC Honor Roll
and Dean’s List.
“With the performance of our women’s lacrosse team both on and
off the field, I think it has become obvious that the selection of Jenny
for the job as head coach in 1994 was a magnificent choice,” says
Athletic Director Dick Baddour.
Levy led the Tar Heels to a record of 12-4 and a national ranking of
No. 13 in the program’s first season in 1996. In 1997, Carolina
advanced to the NCAA Final Four in only its second season of varsity
play. Levy was named ACC Coach of the Year.
Carolina went 15-3 overall and 3-0 in the ACC in 1998, advancing
to the ACC championship game and the NCAA Final Four while also
winning the ACC regular-season title. Carolina was ranked No. 2 in
the final IWLCApoll after spending several weeks during the course of
the season as the nation’s top-ranked team.
In 2000, the Tar Heels again advanced to the ACC Tournament
championship game and tied for the ACC regular-season title.
In 2002, the Tar Heels won their first ACC championship. Carolina
set a school record for wins, going 17-3, and reached the NCAA Final
Four for a third time. Levy was named the co-ACC Coach of the Year.
Carolina reached the NCAATournament quarterfinals in 2005, 2006
and 2007 and ended the ‘06 season with a 4-1 ACC record that tied for
first place in the league.
An outstanding women’s lacrosse player at the University of
Virginia from 1988-92 and an assistant field hockey and assistant
women’s lacrosse coach at Georgetown University from 1993-94,
Levy was named as Carolina’s first-ever head women’s lacrosse coach
in October 1994.
She is a 1992 graduate of the University of Virginia with a BA in
rhetoric and communications and was a member of the U.S. Women’s
Lacrosse National Team in 1992-93 and again in 1995.
Levy (then known as Jenny Slingluff) was a member of the UVa
women’s lacrosse team from 1988-1992 and was named the squad’s
captain and most valuable player as a senior. She led the Cavaliers to
their first-ever Division I National Collegiate Women’s Lacrosse
Championship in 1991. She scored three goals in the championship
game and five in the national semifinal game, leading to her selection
as the tournament’s Most Outstanding Attacker.
A first-team All-America as a junior and senior, Levy was named the
1992 NCAAAttack Player-of-the-Year. She led Virginia in both goals
and assists in 1992 with 52 and 13, respectively, and finished with
career totals of 118 goals and 34 assists. In 2002, she was named one
of the top 50 players in ACC history. In 2005, she was inducted into
the Greater Baltimore Chapter of the Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
Levy was married to Dan Levy of Baltimore, Md., in June 1998.
Dan is a 1993 UNC alumnus who played lacrosse at Carolina for four
years, starring on the 1991 NCAA championship team.
The couple has three children — Ryan (born in Jan. 2002), Alec
(born in Sept. 2003) and Kathryn (born in July 2006).

phil BARNES
ASSISTANT COACH
FOURTH SEASON
Now entering his fourth season as an assistant
coach at North Carolina, Phil Barnes is a major
reason why head coach Jenny Levy believes she
has one of the finest coaching staffs in America. On the field, he works
primarily with the Tar Heel offense, goalkeepers and defense. He also
assists head coach Jenny Levy in all aspects of running the Carolina
program, including recruiting.
Barnes is a former head coach at Holy Cross and the University of
Massachusetts who also has also served as an assistant coach on the
college and high school levels.
“Phil’s experience as a college head coach has given a huge boost
to our staff,” Levy says. “His knowledge of the facets of running a
program makes us a better organized staff and a better prepared team.”
Barnes coached in the prep ranks in 2004 after spending the 2003
campaign as an assistant coach and defensive coordinator at Cornell
University.
Barnes was the head women’s lacrosse coach at Massachusetts for
three seasons (2000-2002), capturing the Atlantic 10 regular-season
and tournament championships and
leading the nation in scoring defense
in 2000. In 1999 and 2000, the
UMass goalkeepers led the country in
save percentage.
Barnes was an assistant coach at
UMass during the 1998 and ’99 seasons prior to taking over as head
coach. He was also the head coach at
the College of the Holy Cross during
the 1996 and 1997 seasons, earning
Patriot League Coach-of-the-Year honors in ‘96.
Barnes earned a B.A. in history
from Assumption College in 1998.
ASSISTANT COACH
THIRD SEASON
Katy O’Mara is entering her third season as an
assistant women’s lacrosse coach at North
Carolina. She assists head coach Jenny Levy in
every aspect of the Tar Heel program, particularly the defense.
“As a player at Dartmouth, Katy had a tremendous presence as an
athlete and a defender,” Levy says. “She relates well to our players and
has great knowledge of the defensive aspects of lacrosse. Her enthusiasm and knowledge help us both in recruiting and on the field.”
O’Mara is a 2002 graduate of Dartmouth College with a Bachelor of
Arts degree in sociology. A four-year starter at defender (then known
as Katy Cuneo before her marriage), she captained the Dartmouth
lacrosse team as a senior and earned All-Ivy League and regional AllAmerica honors. She also won the team’s Radasch Award for dedication, coachability and unselfish attitude.
O’Mara came to Carolina after working for two years as a research
assistant at the Georgetown University Lombardi Cancer Center in
Washington, D.C. While there, she also was a coach for the Future
Elite Lacrosse club team in McLean, Va., and
an assistant coach for both varsity and junior
varsity girls lacrosse teams at the National
Cathedral School in Washington, D.C.
Prior to her stint in the nation’s capitol,
she spent a year teaching history, coaching
varsity and middle school girls’ lacrosse and
serving as an assistant soccer coach at the
Morristown-Beard School in Morristown,
N.J. O’Mara also has coaching experience at
the Shoot to Score Lacrosse Camp in
Lawrenceville, N.J., in 2003 and the Classic
Lacrosse Camp in Hanover, N.H., from 19992001.
O’Mara was married to Sean O’Mara in
November of 2006.

DICK BADDOUR
DR. BETH MILLER
Director of Athletics
Dick Baddour, a 1966 graduate of the University of
North Carolina, was named Director of Athletics on June
25, 1997. In his 10 years as director, the UNC Department
of Athletics has undergone a number of changes, yet
remains one of the premiere programs in the Atlantic Coast
Conference and in the nation.
The Goldsboro, N.C., native heads a program that with 28 varsity sports is
among the largest in the Atlantic Coast Conference. Carolina prides itself on a
strong overall athletic program and finished third in the 2006-07 U.S. Sports
Academy Directors’ Cup, a measure of NCAA postseason success. The Tar Heels,
inaugural winners of the Cup in 1994, have finished among the top 10 teams 12
times in the competition's 14 years. During Baddour’s tenure, UNC has claimed
54 ACC Championships, more than any other school over that span.
Baddour is in his 41st year of continuous service to the university. He graduated from UNC in 1966 and was appointed Assistant Dean of Men in 1967. He
served as Assistant Dean of Admissions and Assistant Dean of the UNC School of
Law and also earned a Master of Arts degree in education prior to joining the athletic department in 1986.
In 2001, he received the Distinguished Service Medal from the UNC General
Alumni Association.
Active in Chapel Hill community affairs, he is a past president of the Public
School Foundation and has served on the Parks and Recreation Commission. He
and his wife, Lynda, have two sons, Allen and David, and a daughter, Jennifer, as
well as four grandchildren: Henry, Jack, Lauren and Johnathan.
Department of Athletics Mission Statement
The Department of Athletics has offered high quality athletic programs for
many years. Through a dedicated commitment to educational interests, competitive athletic programs, and integrity in all areas, the student-athletes, coaches and
staff strive to bring credit and recognition to the University.
The mission of the Department is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program
that provides educational and athletic opportunities for young men and women to
grow and develop, and to serve the interests of the University by complementing
and enhancing its diversity and quality of life. Coaches, as educators, are foundational to this process. In keeping with the University’s efforts to offer programs of
regional and national acclaim, the Department’s athletic programs strive for competitive excellence within the Atlantic Coast Conference or other similar institutions. Through its athletic programs, the University seeks to unite students, faculty, staff and alumni in a common and shared experience. The Department seeks to
contribute to the diversity of the University by offering opportunities for enhanced
racial/ethnic, cultural and geographic representation.
To fulfill this mission, the Department, with the approval of the Board of
Trust, has developed principles of operation to provide guidance and direction to
its personnel. This Mission Statement and accompanying principles require strong
dedication and commitment from all who participate in, coach in and support the
Department of Athletics.
Department of Athletics
Statement on Gambling
The mission of the Department of Athletics is to sponsor a broad-based athletic program that provides educational and athletic opportunities for young men and
women to grow and develop. In keeping with the Department's mission and the
University's commitment to educational interests, competitive athletic programs,
and integrity in all areas, the Department of Athletics strongly condemns the influence of gambling on intercollegiate athletics.
Student gambling is a significant issue on college campuses. Student-athlete
involvement in gambling has produced many tragic situations, both for studentathletes and the universities they represent. Student-athletes often compete in contests that generate interest from those involved in gambling and, possibly, organized crime. If given the opportunity, those interests will not hesitate to exploit the
position student-athletes hold on college campuses. As such, the University of
North Carolina is firmly opposed to all forms of gambling and bribery related to
intercollegiate athletics.
To fulfill its educational obligation, the Department provides a gambling education program to all its student-athletes and departmental staff members. This
statement and the educational program are reflections of the Department's commitment to keeping intercollegiate athletics free from the influences of gambling
and its related activities.
The Department requires its staff members and student-athletes to adhere to
NCAA, state and federal laws regarding gambling. In the interest of fair competi-

a master's from ASU and earned a Doctor of Arts degree in physical education at

From 1969-72, Miller served as the head volleyball and basketball coach at
Appalachian State. She became head volleyball coach at UNC in 1975 and led the
Tar Heels to four consecutive ACC titles from 1980-83 and five postseason tournament appearances. She also coached softball at Carolina from 1978-79.
In 1979, Miller was named Athletic Business Manager. She retired from coaching volleyball after 1983, but continued to handle all financial affairs for the
department through 1987. She has overseen UNC's Olympic Sports program since
1985.
Miller serves on the NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics, as well as a

• STUDENT-ATHLETE DEVELOPMENT
Building character in UNC student-athletes is the main charge of
Student-Athlete Development.
Through Carolina Outreach, Tar Heels are involved in a variety of
projects and organizations on campus and in the community. The
UNC Department of Athletics has partnered with Gatorade and the
UNC School of Public Health for a national pilot program called Get
Kids in Action, in which Tar Heel student-athletes visit local elemen-

tary schools to encourage children to
exercise. The Carolina Dreams program
allows young patients at UNC
Children’s Hospitals to attend Tar Heel
sporting events with UNC student-athletes. Other recent activities have
included building a house with Habitat
for Humanity, cooking meals at Ronald
McDonald House and cleaning up the
roadways through the Adopt-a-Highway
program.
The women’s lacrosse team in 2006-07 volunteered at the Ronald
McDonald House in Chapel Hill, served a pre-Thanksgiving meal and
a brunch to families at the home. The team also raised money for the
UNC Children’s Hospital telethon, worked with the Big Brother/Big
Sister program, donated time to its local club lacrosse program and
rec league and took part in the Share Your Holidays project.
Student-Athlete Development also seeks to develop student-athletes on a personal level through a variety of speakers who address
issues like nutrition, gambling, relationship communication and
substance use. Career Development helps UNC student-athletes look
beyond college with resources such as career counseling and workshops on resume writing and interviewing skills.
• LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
The primary outlet for Leadership Development is the Carolina
Leadership Academy, started at UNC in 2004. As
the nation’s premier leadership development
program in collegiate athletics, the
Carolina Leadership Academy develops,
challenges and supports student-athletes, coaches and staff in their continual quest to become world class
leaders in athletics, academics and life.

Fetzer Field
Karen Jonas
A PREMIER FACILITY
A host of numerous ACC Tournament, NCAA Tournament and Final Four games over its
illustrious history, Fetzer Field has long been one of the the nation’s most storied college athletic facilities. Combined with the artificial turf field, team room and lockerroom facilities at Henry
Stadium, adjacent to Fetzer Field, Carolina enjoys some of the finest overall facilities in college
lacrosse and in all of collegiate athletics.
Fetzer Field, which boasts a capacity of 5,025 fans, is the home to UNC’s men’s and women’s
soccer, men’s and women’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field teams.
Located in the heart of the Carolina campus, Fetzer Field was originally completed in 1935 as a
Works Projects Administration program. The Carolina women’s lacrosse team has an all-time
record of 41-14 at Fetzer (entering the 2008 season).
The facility has been home not only to soccer NCAA and ACC Championships, but also to
the ACC Track and Field Championships, the N.C. High School Athletic Association Track and
Field Championships, the National Junior Olympics and women’s and men’s lacrosse NCAA
and ACC Tournaments. In 1996, the facility was the home training site for the United States
Track and Field Team as it prepared for the Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. In 2001, it was
home to the Carolina Courage of the WUSA.
HISTORY & FACILITY
UPGRADES
Fetzer Field is named for former Tar
Heel athletic director and track and
field head coach Bob Fetzer. The facility opened in 1947 as the home to the
Carolina men’s soccer team.
The facility underwent a complete
renovation beginning in May 1989.
The project was completed in October
1990 and the facility was officially
rededicated on April 6, 1991 during a
men’s lacrosse game between No. 1ranked Carolina and No. 2-ranked
Johns Hopkins. At the same time, the
track area of the facility was renamed
the Irwin Belk Track.
The renovation project itself included resurfacing and widening of the
track which encircles the soccer and
lacrosse field, upgrading the grandstand
seating with new aluminum bleachers
and the building of permanent gatehouses. In addition, the press box at
Fetzer Field was enclosed and air conditioned. A new matrix scoreboard was also installed that
is a state-of-the-art entity, complete with message board.

Henry Stadium
FRANCES E. HENRY STADIUM
Practice Home of
the Tar Heels
In April of 1999, the Carolina women’s
lacrosse team moved into its new home,
Francis E. Henry Stadium, a facility that is
first-class in every way.
Inside the Tar Heels’ spacious locker
room, each player has her own full-length
locker, with ample storage space and a
plaque bearing her name and number. Next
door is a film and meeting room with
leather couches, a big-screen television,
computer lab and a small kitchen. The
coaches’ lockerroom provides another place
for reviewing strategy before and after
games. The building’s entranceway houses
a sizeable trophy case, which houses the Tar
Heels’ one ACC and three NCAA Final
Four trophies and provides space for those
trophies yet to be won.
A new, state-of-the-art video board was
added at Henry Stadium in 2006.

Sarah Dacey bounced a
shot into the Virginia net Sarah
two minutes into the sudden Dacey
victory overtime period to
help the Tar Heels defeat the
Cavaliers,
12-11,
to
advance to the 1997 Final
Four. The berth in the
national semifinals came in
Carolina’s second season as
a varsity program. It also
was UNC’s first appearance
in the NCAA Tournament.
Amy Fine led the Tar
Heels with three goals and
three assists.
Brooke
Crawford also scored three goals, while Erin McGinnis and Meghann
Mohler had two goals apiece. Lori Pasquantonio tallied two assists for
UNC.
The Tar Heels lost, 10-8, in the Final Four to Loyola, but few had
expected Carolina to advance to the Final Four in its first NCAA
Tournament appearance and second year as a varsity squad.
Carolina finished the season with a record of 14-4, 2-1 in the ACC,
and was ranked eighth in the final IWLCA national poll.
Aubrey
Falk
Senior Lori Pasquantonio’s heady play with the clock winding down
allowed UNC to reach its second consecutive NCAA Final Four in
1998.
A pass by UNC attacker Kristin Off was intercepted by Temple
defender Iris Alvarado. Normally, Alvarado would have been protected
in the crease area around the
cage, but her stick was outside
the
crease.
Pasquantonio checked the
ball out of Alvarado’s stick,
picked up the loose ball and
while falling to the turf,
flung the ball into the open
Katie
goal for the winning score
Loovis
with 40 seconds left.
Carolina defeated the
Owls, 11-10, in the NCAA quarterfinals. The Tar Heels were led by
midfielder Gray MacNair’s three goals. Pasquantonio, Erin McGinnis
and Meghann Mohler scored two goals apiece.
The Tar Heels lost, 14-9, the next weekend to Maryland in the
NCAA semifinals in Baltimore. However, reaching the Final Four for
the second straight time in just its third year as a varsity program firmly established Carolina as one of the nation’s elite women’s lacrosse
programs.
Carolina finished the season with a record of 15-3, 3-0 in the ACC,
and was ranked second in the final IWLCA national poll.

Carolina Advances to Final Four
The 2002 Tar Heels, seeded No. 3 in the NCAA Tournament,
reached the NCAA Final Four before losing to eventual national
champion Princeton in the semifinals. It was UNC’s third Final Four
appearance in the program’s seven-year history. Carolina also
reached the national semifinals in 1997 and ‘98.
Carolina Wins its First ACC Championship
The Tar Heels won the first ACC championship in program history by winning the 2002 ACC Tournament, held Apr. 19 and 21 on the
campus of Duke University in Durham, N.C.
Second-seeded Carolina beat third-seeded Duke, 12-8, in the
semifinals and fourth-seeded Maryland in the title game, 11-10.
Christine McPike tied a career high with five goals against
Maryland and was named ACC Tournament MVP. Joining McPike
on the 2002 All-ACC Tournament Team were Kellie Thompson,
Porter Wilkinson, Meghan Kelly and Andy Fortino.
A School-Record 17 Wins
Carolina finished the 2002 season with an overall record of 173. The 17 wins are a new school record for most wins in a season,
eclipsing the prior mark of 15, set in 1998.
