The Bears bring a four-game unbeaten streak into the pair of games in Boise this weekend. The Bears open the weekend against Big West foe Utah State. The Aggies are 4-3 on the season with wins over Southern Utah, Weber State, Nevada and Gonzaga. Last time out they lost a 1-0 overtime game to the University of Utah. Last season, Utah State was 8-9-3 overall. This year they are being led by an balanced offensive attack that has three players with two goals. Utah State will play at Portland State before facing the Bears on Friday. Boise State has dropped five of their last six matches with their lone win coming against Eastern Washington. The Broncos have gotten two goals each from Brittany Zoellner and Abbe Roche this season. The matchups will be the first ever between UNC and both Utah State and Boise State. UNC has not lost since its second game of the season against Wyoming. The Bears have bested Valpo, St. Joseph s and Eastern New Mexico and tied New Mexico since that defeat. In fact, UNC has only allowed one goal in three-plus matches. Senior goalkeeper Shanna Swinehart has been even tougher in goal, not allowing an opponent score in her last 267:55 of playing time. Swinehart and the UNC defense have keyed the Bears attack while offensively three different players, Jessica Brennan, Chelsey Ekenberg and Laura Hassebroek, have each scored two goals. probable lineup F...

Winningest coach in UNC history. Team won 1999 NCC Championship. Has coached one All-American, 13 all-region and 27 all-conference selections at UNC. Four-year starter (1981-84) at Virginia Tech and graduated as program s all-time leading scorer. Swinehart Shuts Them Down: Senior goalkeeper Shanna Swinehart has been tough to get one past recently. She has not allowed an opponent goal in her last 267:55 of playing time. That includes the last 49:26 at Valpo, the entire St. Joseph s and New Mexico (double overtime) games and the 18:29 of playing time against Eastern New Mexico before she was lifted after the Bear built a big early lead. Last season, Swinehart went a stretch of 414:38 without allowing a goal. Barrera Looking For 60th Victory as UNC Coach: With UNC s next win, head coach Tim Barrera will notch his 60th victory as the Bears coach. He is already the winningest coach in UNC soccer history, having compiled 59 victories in four-plus years at UNC. First Ever Meetings: With the move to Division I for the Bears, the 2003 schedule features a lot of new opponents for UNC. Of the 15 different opponents the Bears will face this season, they are facing nine of them for the first-time ever in regular season competition. Those opponents are: Boise State, Carroll College, Eastern New Mexico, New Mexico, St. Joseph s, Utah State, Utah Valley State, Valparaiso and Wyoming. UNC Earns First Division I Win of Season at Valpo: As the Bears make the four-year reclassification effort to Division I, the team can look back to Sept. 5 as their first win over a Division I team during the process, as the Bears topped Valpo 2-1. But it was not the program s first ever win over a Div. I squad, as in fact, UNC was a Division I soccer team from its NCAA club-varsity sport inception in 1985 until the NCAA Division II soccer level was created in 1988. From 1985-87, UNC played the likes of Stanford (who it beat 2-0 in 1987) and North Carolina (who UNC lost to 6-0 in 1987) among others. The win was also important to see how the Bears stack up against other Mid-Continent teams like Valpo, as the Mid-Con Conference is one of several possible conferences that the Bears could look to try to join in the future. Valpo was picked to finish third in the Mid-Con this season. 2003 UNC Soccer Game Notes 3

Brennan Returns From Injury to Pace Bears and Climb All-Time Stat List: After returning from injury to play part of the game at Wyoming on Sept. 2, senior Jessica Brennan returned to full action against Valpo (Sept. 5) and St. Joe s (Sept. 7) and scored two goals in the Bears two victories. Brennan has now reached 16 career goals, only three away from joining the UNC all-time Top 10. She also needs only four points to join the Bears all-time points Top 10 list. She did miss the New Mexico roadtrip but should be ready to go this weekend in Boise. Young Guns: With a wealth of newcomers to the program and some injuries to key players early this season, UNC started a very young lineup when they opened the season at Denver. UNC started four true freshman, two redshirt freshman and a transfer among their starting 11. Off the bench UNC brought three more true freshman, a redshirt freshman, a sophomore and a junior. Bears Make Move to Division I: On May 10, 2002 the UNC Board of Trustees voted unanimously to approve a move for the UNC intercollegiate athletics program to NCAA Division I. The 2002-03 sports year marked the last season for the Bears in the North Central Conference and the NCAA Division II level. This season the Bears begin a four-year reclassification period before officially becoming a Division I school in 2007. Over the next four years, UNC will be unable to compete in NCAA postseason competition. UNC will be competiting as an independent during the 2003-04 school year and will hopefully find conference affiliation before the end of the reclassification period. Soccer Program Gets First Inductee Into UNC Hall of Fame: On Sept. 19, the first former Bears soccer player was inducted into the UNC Athletic Hall of Fame. Lisa Jacobsen (Loptien) played at UNC from 1985-88 and scored 41 goals and added 17 asissts (totaling 99 points), all of which were school records that stood for a decade. She currently ranks third all-time in school history in goals and assists and fifth in points. Jacobsen, a four-time allconference selection, was selected as the Colorado Sportswoman of the Year for collegiate soccer and was one of 12 total finalists (only two from Division II) for National Player of the Year. She was an ISAA All-American her senior season. Road Warriors: Of the 16 regular season games the Bears will be playing this year, only two of them will be on home soil. In their first year of Division I reclassification, UNC will play 14 total regular season matchups. After the Bears host in-state rival Metro State for an exhibition on Aug. 20, they won t play another home game until Oct. 8 when they host Carroll College. Then they will have another month break before hosting an Alumni Match exhibition on Nov. 1 and Colorado College on Nov. 2. Division I Schedule: UNC is wasting no time getting into a Division I schedule and this year as the schedule features eight regular season Division I opponents (Denver, Wyoming, Valparaiso, New Mexico, Utah State, Boise State, Creighton and Colorado College) including two (Denver and Creighton) that played in the NCAA Tournament a season ago. The schedule also features three matchups (UC-Davis and Utah Valley State, twice) with teams that are also making the transition to Division I along with the Bears.
