Campout returns to Reynolds roots Campout for Carolina tickets brings back tradition on a day over winter break Amber Kenney Deputy News Editor
Registration for the annual Campout for tickets for the UNC-Chapel Hill basketball game opens tomorrow with a controversial date and new events planned. Arialle Crabtree, a sophomore in College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the chair of the campus community committee of Student Senate, said the Campout will return to its roots by being held in front of Reynolds Coliseum. “Students were proud of the tradition of camping out in front of Reynolds, and we want to re-establish its glory,” she said. Crabtree said Student Government joined with the Union Activities Board and Campus Recreation to make this year’s event something to remember. According to Crabtree, registered campers will get free food and be able to participate in many games and activities, including a basketball tourna-
ment and corn-hole. There will also be an Ugliest UNC Fan contest with all proceeds going to the Kay Yow Memorial Fund, she said. “This is a great event that lets student have fun while supporting N.C. State and connecting with other students,” she said. Kelli Rogers, a senior in political science and student senate president, is excited about this year’s Campout. “It is going to be bigger and better then ever,” she said. “We are bringing it back to its historical roots and to the heart of N.C. State basketball.” Adam Rodgers, a sophomore in First Year College, expressed concern about the location. “It’s a cool idea, but not that many tents can fit out there,” he said. Crabtree is not worried about the space, but the date the Campout is being held has raised some questions. According to Crabtree, there was a survey advertised through Facebook and list-serves asked students to pick the best date between two. The final date chosen was Jan. 9, but classes do not start for second semester until Jan. 11.

Tourny lends ‘Helping Hand’ KA hosts hot dog Charity basketball tournament to raise donations for those in need Siva Ramesh Staff Writer
On Thursday, at 7 p.m. in Carmichael Gymnasium, the N.C. State chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi, along with over 27 other organizations, will hold a charity basketball tournament. Called the Krimson and Kreme Hoopin’ for Hunger Basketball Tournament, its purpose is to raise money and donations of canned goods for Helping Hands Mission, a local charity, as part of their Thanksgiving food drive. As part of a tradition within Kappa Alpha Psi, “Crimson” and “Crème” are spelled with Ks. “It’s a tradition in our frat to spell everything with Ks,” said Tre McQueen, a senior in marketing and a co-organizer of the event. McQueen said the primary purpose of the event was to not only benefit the University, but to also help the local community, particularly those people who are less fortunate than others. “We decided to have an event on campus to raise money and food for families who are a little bit less fortunate,” McQueen said.
McQueen helped to organize the event with his brother, Chaz McQueen, a junior in education, Reginald Parks, a junior in sports management and Colton Palmer, a junior in communications. “We were looking for something that we could do. We’re a fraternity, and as a fraternity, we have to do different events for standards.” McQueen said. Although the idea was conceived just a month ago, the event has been well organized and planned. Parks said the process of organizing the event took about a month. “We kind of got everything together, made sure Carmichael [Gymnasium] was on board for it. We’ve been contacting all the organizations on campus to see who’d be willing to give to this cause. We contacted the [Student Media Association] and WRAL to get everybody on board who would be willing to give to the Thanksgiving Day initiative,” Parks said According to McQueen, other groups have joined in support of the tournament, including fraternities from area universities. “We’ve got Ravenscroft School. We’ve got Delta Sigma Theta from UNC. We’ve got a couple of our brothers from different chapters in the area,
like the Delta Gamma chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi [from] Shaw University, the Gamma Omega chapter from St. Augustine’s University and the Alpha Kappa chapter from North Carolina Central University and the Iota Xi chapter from Duke University,” McQueen said. Four teams will be playing in the tournament from Kappa Alpha Psi, Alpha Phi Alpha, 100 Black Men of America and Psi Beta Sigma. The tournament will be set up in standard bracket form, with semi-finals and a finals game. In order to keep the audience entertained, the event will also have several games and activities, as well as a DJ and music. “We’re going to have a [basketball] dunking contest and a couple activities between the two games to keep the crowd into it. We have a DJ coming so there’s going to be music, just [to] make it a fun atmosphere for everyone,” Palmer said. The charity aspect of the tournament is still the focus of the event. Each participating organization will be asked to donate 10 canned goods and $2 for each member of

While Redress Raleigh 2010 will be moving further away from campus to Downtown Raleigh instead of happening on Hillsborough Street this year, the connection to campus will remain strong as the proceeds from the eco-friendly fashion show will continue to benefit MorLove, a philanthropic organization founded by Mor Aframian, who graduated from the College of Textiles in May.

that organization. “For our particular fraternity, we have 15 members, so we’ll bring 10 canned goods, plus $2 per person, so $30, that’ll really build up with all of the different organizations we have involved,” Palmer said. Donation bins will be available so that the public can contribute their share. The Helping Hands Mission will receive all of the donations from this event. “We got into contact with the Helping Hands Mission and decided to team up, we’re raising money and food to donate to them. We’re going to take the money and sponsor individual families for their Thanksgiving meals.” McQueen said. Already, the efforts to get the event into the spotlight have paid off, according to Palmer. “We have over 300 people confirmed to come on Facebook, and we’ve been taking in names of people from other schools so they can get into Carmichael. We have people
coming from Duke, NCCU, UNC-Charlotte and from St. Augustine’s, so people from all over the community are coming and supporting it. We have alumni brothers [from] our fraternity who are also coming.” Palmer said. According to McQueen, there is a continued increase in the number of organizations wanting to participate, although it is only a few days off. “It’s over 27 total organizations that are involved in this right now, 21 on-campus and 6 off-campus, and it seems like the number’s growing every day, since someone else sees the [news about the] event and it’s like ‘hey, we want to help out’ and so it grows. By the time of the event, it’s going to be 25, 26 on campus organizations [that are involved],” McQueen said. Even considering this is the first year of the event, the intention is to keep it running on an annual basis and to expand it further to involve more of the N.C. State community in future years. “It’s pretty big already, but we’re trying to make it grow, and that’s the point of trying to
wanting to help others as they were helped in their childhood. She said the textiles background she gained at the University married well with her passion to aid others when she conceptualized the idea for MorLove. “I learned a lot about the waste and pollution that comes from producing textiles,” she said of her education at NCSU. “I really wanted to bring the two aspects of my life together as far as human rights activism and sustainability. One day I decided this is what I want to do with my life.” Redress Raleigh is seeking designers for its show, which is tentatively scheduled for April 17 at a venue not yet determined. The fashion show puts an emphasis on eco-friendly fabrics and fashions, and organizers are looking for designers that share an infatuation for green styles, though that won’t limit the creativity the show will employ according to Redress Raleigh Coproducer Jamie Powell. “Aside from being ecofriendly and wearable, we’re wide open,” she said of the types of designers Redress is looking for. “As far as styles of clothing, we really want a diverse range of styles.” Those who were involved with last year’s show were invited to participate again via e-mail Monday, but many Textiles students were

State student body, but in upcoming years we hope to make it a community event, where really the whole Triangle area can get involved in this initiative,” Palmer said. Palmer said although organizing the event has been enjoyable, he still wants the Kappa Alpha team to win the tournament. “Personally, I think that we’ve done a good job thus far organizing, and I hope everything runs smoothly, but now on the other side of things, it’s still a basketball tournament and we still want to go ahead and win our tournament, get a couple practices in and make sure we go home with a [win],” Palmer said. Parks expressed his hopefulness for the continued success of the event in the future. “I feel as if anything you do for a great cause can have a great outcome,” Parks said.

also included in the invitation. “There’s a lot of talent in the College of Textiles, so we wanted to get the word out to all those students who may be interested in applying,” Powell said. Powell said the show was meant to be a jumping off point for designers, but that local business owners often attend the show seeking ideas and concepts. “There’s a chance they’ll get seen and they’ll be contacted,” she said. “The sky’s the limit.” Beyond designers, the show needs volunteers to help out with lighting, seating, backstage and publicity. Powell said last year more than 100 people were involved in putting the show together. “We definitely still need volunteers,” Powell said. “Especially in fundraising.”
Powell said more fundraising ahead of the show to fund it will lead to more money to be donated to MorLove. Shari Bolar is the creative director and producer of Revolution Couture, a fashion show planned to raise funds for Redress. Bolar said more fashion designers are taking greener approaches to their craft, and her show was an opportunity for her to benefit MorLove through Redress. “A lot of fashion shows we’ve had in Raleigh and designers are becoming more green. We use more clothes that are made from recyclable materials,” Bolar said. “I wanted to help [Redress] in some way, and basically I wanted to represent the change that is happeneing in Raleigh.” Bolar also has a passion for humanitarian aid as she was impacted by a film about children in Uganda. “I saw their suffering and I want to help,” she said. “I feel like this is a really good opportunity for everyone to go beyond themselves and help people in need and also enjoy something helpful to our earth.”

“Whatever students went with, we picked,” Crabtree said. “I don’t think attendance will be affected.” Rogers said students won’t want to miss the event. “It is a great way to kick off the semester and welcome students back to campus,” she said. “Hopefully it will be warmer than last year.” Rodgers said student attendance overall will be affected, but the changes will not affect him personally. “It will definitely affect attendance because people will be on vacations and not ready to come back to school yet,” he said. “The hope of seeing us win is what will bring me back early.” Crabtree said the registration process will be the same as last year, but the registration period will be open for a month. “A longer registration period will increase participation and get students excited about it,” she said. “We will make it the best Campout ever.”

{Our view}
Ticketing change needs some urgency I
The Facts:
The Wolfpack plays its first regular-season basketball game Thursday. Despite persistent complaints about the ticket-distribution system, little to no change has occurred.
Our Opinion:
The ticketing system should have been addressed and fixed after the South Carolina game at the start of the season. Despite the pitifully long delay, it must be changed quickly before basketball seasons revs up.
n the days leading up to N.C. State’s unimpressive football performance against South Carolina at the start of the season, many faithful Wolfpack fans were up in arms over the ticketing system. Seniors and juniors who had been to every football game while they were at the University could not fathom how such a large number of freshmen won admission to the game while they were left to watch the game from home. Some students complained that the expansion in group sizes during the off-season had allowed many freshmen into the game under an older student’s group leader ID.
The unsigned editorial is the opinion of the members of Technician’s editorial board excluding the news department and is the responsibility of the Editor-in-Chief.
Students cried foul and Student Government ensured students they would attempt to remedy the problems, with some of Student Government’s leaders mentioning the importance of addressing it before the highly anticipated Pittsburgh game. The Pittsburgh game has come and gone, so have the games against Duke and Maryland and the request period for Clemson, yet no changes have materialized and loyal fans are left in the same ticketing conundrum. As basketball season
approaches, what changes can fans expect in ticket distribution? The idea of averaging the loyalty points of all the members within a group seems to have gone nowhere and any changes appear to have stalled. This is a two-month-old problem — changes should already be in place, but certainly should be out of the discussion phase by now. Students deserve a revamped system that rewards every student for his or her individual loyalty, not just that of the
group leader — a system that will not enable 98 freshmen to sit courtside for their first basketball game against UNCChapel Hill because they all joined the group of a senior who has been 45 minutes early to every game. The system must be amended before the start of ACC basketball play, that much is clear. But it is inexcusable for changes to come so slowly on an issue that influences students’ college experience. Thursday is the first regularseason basketball game of the season — change needs to come quickly.

never knew you could keep a locker at the D.H. Hill library; I’ve been having fun taking out the laptops; I use the tablets for readi ng, despite their unpopularity. I just discovered that the philosophy section is on the third f loor; but I Jake Goldbas never forgot Staff Columnist that one night that D.H. and me got down with English literature on the fifth floor. I love the diversity. I sit down with Druze, African-Americans, German and Nicaraguan foreign exchange students and Arab and Asian-Americans. The special collections room is my favorite right now, with its combination of desk and ceiling lights. I feel like the library got the lighting just right (except for the last table on the left as you enter — which hasn’t been fixed in the couple weeks since it went out. I don’t t h i n k a nyone has told the staff). I like the fact that there is, at any given time, at least one kid there. The Unity lab on the second floor is another new favorite. The Learning Commons on the first floor is usually for faster stuff, but I still adore it just the same. I love the second floor space in the L of the stacks next to the men’s room with the giant windows in the morning, where the natural light merges with the artificial light. I like the searing yellow at this same spot in the late afternoon that reminds me to take a break. I just discovered you can use dry erase markers on the glass tables on the ground f loor, which I have been having fun with; but I’ll never forget one math class I took where we met Monday through Thursday and surrounded ourselves with the white boards in the Learning Commons.
I like the people who keep this place up because I feel as though I can indentify their sense of purpose as they keep this place up. Vice Provost Susan Nutter, who oversees the libraries, does not know me, but every once and a while I see her and she’s always smiling. I’ve had great chats with several of the circulation desk workers. I meet my friends there. On weekends for a while I was coming here to take practice LSATs. I like the quiet semisilence and blue morning light of the mornings. But I also like the uproarious din at 10 p.m. on a weeknight. I like how, if my friend Jon likes listening to music, he can take out headphones. I’ve played Smash Brothers when I needed a break. I’ve taken walks to talk philosophy around the library. I’ve spent night after night before finals at the library. I’ve had too many all nighters here, and the strange sort of clarity that comes with the waking hours af ter you’ve spent all night here. I don’t know what’s up with t hese t iny t r a sh c a n s — t h e y ’r e always overflowing. And they’re there for 30, 0 0 0 students. I’ve met friends for studying, but I’ve also met people for the first time here. I was bored in line at the Hill of Beans, so I struck up a conversation with a beautiful woman one time, and we ended up dating. It’s even safe to say that every relationship I have had has been made better by studying at the D.H. Hill Library. In fact, every time I have been to the library, I’ve made my life better. I don’t think I can say that about any other place I’ve been to.
“In fact, every time I have been to the library, I’ve made my life better. ”

Success, but not a repudiation
L
ast Tuesday was a big victory for the Republican Party and could help shore up a shaken conservative base and provide legitimacy to an organization t hat wa s polling close to 20 percent in nationwide party identity Benton polls. In a Sawrey reversal of Senior Staff Election Columnist Day results a year ago, Republican candidates for governor in Virginia and New Jersey soundly defeated their opponents in what some saw as a repudiation of President Barack Obama’s governing mandate. Virginia’s result — a traditional Republican stronghold, — gave party leaders a sigh of relief after Obama carried the state in the 2008 election and proved that, while it isn’t as reliably red as it used to be, it is still capable of electing conservative candidates to office. While this is a tremendous boost for the Republican Party going into the 2010 mid-term elections, I’m not sure if it’s fair to paint this election as a true rejection of the Obama administration’s policies. New Jersey saw an unpopular incumbent governor — who has a background in the
same Wall Street companies that received the popular blame concerning the economic collapse — lose to a Republican candidate who staked his reputation on being a muckraker in a state that does not have the best reputation for clean government. Both states saw exit polls point out that Obama is still a fairly popular president and witnessed a slightly different electorate in 2009 than in 2008. Young people only made up 11 percent of the general electorate in New Jersey and Virginia in this election rather than the 20 percent they made up in the 2008 electorate. It’s interesting to look at this from some different angles. Some of the young people that came out in 2008 may never come out to vote again in future elections. That’s speculation at this point, but with Obama’s falling approval ratings it’d be fair to guess t hat some people who supported his candidacy may be getting disillusioned and choose to stay at home the next time. They certainly did in New Jersey and Virginia even with Obama making personal pleas for their votes at the last minute. Regardless, an older electorate was motivated to come out in the 2009 election. It was an electorate that was motivated primarily by the economy, which continues to

show a lack of job growth. What’s important is that this electorate, motivated by the economy much as they were in 2008, turned to Republican candidates rather than the Democratic candidates. I’m hesitant to use the elections in New Jersey and Virginia as a litmus test for the 2010 midterms but I think it shows that there is realistic hope for the Republicans. Voters are not happy with how the economy is shaping up and they’re turning against the Democratic Party. There’s a different electorate that was motivated to vote — an older, more traditional electorate, which tends to favor the Republican Party rather than the Democrats. Without Obama on the ballot i n 2010, the turnout could be similar. T he Re publicans aren’t without their own problems as they struggle for an identity, but history is on their side in the midterm elections as the president’s party historically loses seats in Congress.

University programs help farmers stay on their feet Alanna Howard Staff Writer
With a recession growing, food prices are one downside, but programs sponsored by the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences ensure farmers are no longer on their own. One program, the N.C. Market Ready subhead of the CALS Cooperative Extension, aims to educate the public about programs that help agriculture enterprise development, inform about fresh produce regulations and provide techniques to strengthen business strategies to support farms. Value-Added and Alternative Agriculture policy professor Blake Brown said N.C. Market Ready focuses on the fresh produce industry, but in some cases especially local produce. “Local produce is a part of the economic value of the fresh produce industry. Using produce from a smaller range has many benefits both on the economy and for farmers,” he said. As more consumers become aware of the importance of fresh, beneficial food, Amanda Wilkins/Technician file photo they turn to healthy food, preferably local. Lane Daley, a junior in chemical engineering, juggles a slice of watermelon at the Farmers Market in the Brickyard Sept. 2. “[The Growers respond to this demand. farmers’ market] is awesome.

Mental illness: the final frontier New center at Duke University researches Huntington’s Disease
Basal ganglia, the area of the brain effected by Huntington’s Disease. This region controls thinking, emotion, and movement. Symptoms between the ages of 30 and 50 (but symptoms can appear earlier or later in life). The disease gets worse over time.
Jessica Neville Staff Writer
Improvements in medicine and technology have enabled people in the 21st century to live longer than ever before in human history. According to the National Center for Health Statistic’s Health, United States 2008 publication, in 2006 the life expectancy at birth for the total population of the U.S. was 78.1 years. In 1900, a person who lived to 48 had already lived past the average life expectancy. While increased longevity means more years to enjoy a healthy life for many people, it can also bring on difficult illnesses and age related conditions for others. Perhaps one of the most well-known and tragic diseases effecting the elderly is Alzheimer’s disease, which slowly strips away a person’s memory. Less well known is Huntington’s Disease, a fatal genetic disorder that involves slow degeneration of brain cells, leading to loss of mental, emotional and physical capabilities. The North Carolina Center for the Care of Huntington’s Disease estimates that there are 550 N.C. HD patients and 2,750 affected family members of patients in North Carolina. North Carolina is at the forefront of developing research of treatment of age-related chronic diseases, both physical and mental. Last month, at Duke University, the North Carolina Huntington’s Disease Association met with scientists to discuss the new HD Center and the latest research for the treatment of the disease. Although HD affects three to seven out of every 100,000 people in the U.S., it also impacts the families of those that have to care for the person with the disease. In addition, the research being conducted for HD will have
How can you diagnose it? During pregnancy a woman can find out if her baby will have the disease with two tests: 1. Taking a sample of fluid from around the fetus (amniocentesis), or 2. By taking a sample of fetal cells from the placenta (chorionic villus sampling). After the child is born, doctors can identify the disease by first doing a series of neurological and psychological tests. A genetic test can then confirm the diagnosis by determining if the person indeed has inherited the HD gene mutation. However, the test cannot tell at what age a person will begin to get sick. How is HD treated? Treatments do not slow the progression of the disease, but they can help make the patient more comfortable. Medications ease feelings of depression and anxiety; others control involuntary movements. Physical or speech therapy helps HD patients lead more normal lives.

implications for all age-related mental illnesses, including Alzheimer’s Disease. Charles Sabine had been a NBC news reporter for 27 years when he discovered he had Huntington’s Disease in 2005. He was among those present at Duke University advocating for those suffering from the disease, although he has not started showing any symptoms — yet. One of the most unnerving elements of this condition is that the victims do not know when the disease will take hold. “I covered 13 wars and seven revolu-
tions for NBC,” Sabine said. “My father died from Huntington’s Disease and I put off being genetically tested for a long time. When I was confirmed to have the disease, I decided to use my time to speak as an advocate while I still can.” Sabine said he encourages people to understand that the research being conducted for this disease has implementations for everyone. “People should care because this research is at the cutting edge of genetics,” Sabine said. “In the middle of this century half the people in this world
will be affected by mental illness, because everyone is living so long. The work these scientists are doing will effect people in North Carolina in the very near future.” The gene for HD was discovered in 1993 but there is no cure for the illness. Scientists are working to develop drugs that can effectively treat and delay the symptoms. The illness also carries a 50 percent chance of being passed on from a carrier to his or her children. Dr. Mary Edmondson, the president of the North Carolina Center for the
Care of Huntington’s Disease, said college students should be concerned about this disease because mental illnesses will have a great impact on their futures. “Many people with HD are diagnosed incorrectly, while others could be carrying the gene and have never been tested to know,” Edmondson said. Edmondson said part of the work her organization does is to work with government officials to make sure they know the special needs of people with HD. “As Congress considers changing the healthcare system, we hope they keep in mind small, underrepresented populations who need special care such as those suffering from HD,” Edmonson said. Lucero Galvan, a freshman in biological sciences, has a grandmother with advanced stage Alzheimer’s Disease. “My grandmother remembers my mother as a little girl, so she doesn’t recognize her the age she is now,” Galvan said. “The hardest part for my family is having to constantly worry about her. My grandpa takes care of her but he is in his ‘80s and it is hard for him too.” Galvan said he was pleased to hear scientists were working on treatments for the disease. “Right now there is no cure at all for Alzheimer’s. It would mean a lot to my family to know that other people care about what we are going through,” Galvan said. According to the American Health Assistance Foundation, scientists believe the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s and other mental illnesses can by decreased by “exercising the brain,” taking vitamins, working out and being socially active.

Buckley said former Pack players flew in from Chicago, Boston and Texas for the game. “[The ceremony] meant everything,” Buckley said. “Stephen played hockey with passion, and these boys out there on the ice mean everything to us. What’s neat for us is the school, the players and the coaches are behind us and they really care.” Freshman Matt Valesko started the scoring for State at 9:15 in the first period. Sophomore Kriss Lans, who leads the team in scoring with 15 points, added another tally to bring it
to 2-0. UNC drew within one close to the end of the period, but Dombrowski restored the two-goal lead with a booming slapshot 27 seconds later. Neither team earned any ground in the second period. Each scored once and filled in the rest of the time with small scrums. Early in the third, tempers f lared when a Pack player was pushed into UNC goaltender Lyle Baumgarten, who took offense and started throwing fists. Baumgarten stoned the Pack on several chances in the third period, but junior Jonathan Hires and senior Phil Mason put the game away with a goal apiece. Dombrowski said the Pack was happy to get a win in honor of Russell. “We could have played a little better, but we were happy we

The ACC Tournament will be held at WakeMed Soccer Park, which is located right down the road in Cary. The neutral site of the tournament is also home to the Carolina RailHawks, a professional soccer club. It has hosted tournaments such as the NCAA College Cup and international contests as well. The ACC tournament location makes for a convenient playing site close to N.C. State’s campus. “Every time you can have the support of the fans it really gives us a big boost,” Tarantini said. Another top team competing in this tournament is Wake Forest, who holds the number one seed in the tournament and is ranked third in the national polls. Six teams currently represent the ACC on the national stage by being ranked in the top 25 in the polls. “Every game in the ACC is a big game, so the tournament is not that different from conference play,” Widman said.

Annual Toys for Tots collection set for this weekend For the third year in a row, fans are asked to bring cash and/or unwrapped toys to the football game this weekend. The local chapter of the Toys for Tots Foundation will donate the toys to Triangle children throughout the upcoming holiday season.

Redshirt senior Ronnie Bouemboue, the Congo native hailing from Brooklyn, N.Y. is looking to garner his third ACC All-Tournament team award, and more importantly, win a championship to cap off his career. “It’s a different mindset from the regular season into the postseason,” Bouemboue said. “The postseason, you know you’re fighting for a shot at the championship. We hope our game steps up, and it will. Hopefully we’ll get the results we want.” The redshirt senior forward is one of ten finalists for the nationally acclaimed Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award, awarded annually to top seniors in nine Division I sports. The winner is selected based on personal qualities that define a complete student

I’m thankful for the opportunity that I’ve had here the past five years. I know that I’m leaving a stronger person and a better person than when I came here.” Ronnie’s willpower and drive are critical aspects that have earned him the position of team captain for the past two seasons. “I think Ronnie’s determination and his attitude set the tone for his teammates in many ways,” Tarantini said. “I think we want to bring to the game hope, desire and pride to compete. This is a very tough league and I think with the right attitude and hard work we’ll be able to make a good run in the post season.”
The No. 15 men’s soccer team will take on the No. 2 Tar Heels in the quarterfinal round of the ACC tournament Wednesday at 8 p.m. at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary. N.C. State (12-5-1, 2-5-1 ACC) concluded the regular season portion of its schedule winning eight of the last eleven games. The Tar Heels (13-2-2, 5-2-1 ACC) closed out their season going 10-1-1 over their final twelve games. “We can control the ball and play with confidence against a very good Carolina team,” coach George Tarantini said. These two teams last played each other on Sept. 12 and the Wolfpack fell with a score of 2-1 in Chapel Hill. State jumped out to the early lead in the first 70 seconds of the contest, but then was defeated by two unanswered goals. The Tar Heels come into the ACC Tournament with their highest seed in the tournament since 2001. They are led by National Player of the Week sophomore Billy Schuler, who is tied for the ACC lead in game winning goals with six. Tarantini said the key to winning the rematch will be fixing the errors the team made in the loss to Carolina earlier this year. “We need to minimize the mistakes we made the first time we played them,” Tarantini said. N.C. State comes into the tournament as the seventh seed and is led by senior forwards Ronnie Bouemboue and Alan Sanchez, who tallied seven goals apiece during the regular season.
