son’s debacle. Blosser was one of the few players who gave herself a scoring opportunity, as she recorded three of the Pack’s six shots on the night. “Last year we went there and we were so intimidated,” Blosser said. “This game, we came out strong, played our butts off and it just came out the wrong way. We need to start scoring and we need to start working on finishing.”
Although Blosser and Kern were two of the best individual performers for State in this year’s contest, both of them fully appreciate how much selfless effort the other gives for a program that has slowly started turning the corner after not recording a winning season since 2002. Blosser said the roommates know exactly how much they mean to Steve Springthope’s team.
“Ever since the ODU game, she’s came out and kept us in games,” Blosser said. “I tell her every night that she’s amazing and that I’m playing with the best keeper in the world.” As the Wolfpack moves forward in conference play, coach Steve Springthorpe knows he will need the experience of Kern and Blosser to help a team that has played six freshman in each of the last two games versus top-five competition. Springthorpe also said that although his team came into the UNC game with virtually the same record the past two seasons, the likelihood of being able to translate solid efforts into ACC victories is much greater this time around. “I think our team’s better,” Springthorpe said. “We defended better, and I still think we are a good attacking team. We need to get some players back a little healthier so we can get some more of those opportunities. But compared to where we were last year as opposed to this year, I think we’re way ahead.” After falling to 1-2 in conference play, Thursday night’s game against Wake Forest could prove to be one of the most imperative matchups of the year. The start time is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Winston-Salem, N.C.
said. “There was no doubt in our mind. We knew that we were going to win this. I think it’s a good feeling to know that we’re all on the same page. “ State also jumped out to an early lead in the second set. The Pack kept Miami at bay by jumping out to a 13-5 lead, but the Canes made a run at the tail end of the set. They came
within one point of State with a 23-22 score, but another kill from Salata, and a bad set from Miami’s Katie Gallagher gave the Pack the set, 25-22. Sophomore Megan Cyr, who registered 31 assists in the match, said the key to victory was believing the team could win, even when the score became close.
“I think what we really focused on this game was believing that we could win no matter what,” sophomore Megan Cyr said. “If we were down or it was tight, we knew that we were [going to] win. We truly believed that and that helped.” The third set did not go as smoothly as the opening two sets for State. Miami broke out

difference-maker out there tonight,” O’Brien said. “We couldn’t get him on the ground. There were other times when we did miss tackles and we blew a few things where we didn’t get lined up on defense, which obviously we have to get back and work on.” But all of the blame cannot be placed squarely on the shoulders of the defense. The offense looked just about as much out of sync as the defense, getting outscored by Tech 34-13 in the second half. Playing a part in that was the adjustments the Tech defense made, relying on the blitz to try and stop Wilson and the offense. “They continued to keep bringing the house and we didn’t capitalize on some of the opportunities we had to make,” Williams said. “We knew they were going to keep fighting and it was going to be a dog fight. But they just outplayed us.” No matter where the blame is placed, the obvious fact about the game was the Pack’s inability to finish the contest and put the Hokies
to a 10-6 lead over the Pack. After coach Bryan Bunn called a timeout, the Pack was back in business as it regained the lead 15-14 on a kill from freshman Brie Merriwether. Miami held the lead only one more time before another kill from Merriwether pushed the score to 19-17. The Pack never looked back, winning the final
away. “They just finished the game better than we finished the game,” O’Brien said. “There is no excuse for us not finishing the football game. That is where you want to be, up by three with four minutes to go in the game. We spent a whole scrimmage practicing those situations during preseason camp so you are ready for those things.” However, even though the players know they gave the game away, they understand there is still a long way to go in the season and needs to learn from this game, while setting their focus on the next game against Boston College. “I definitely believe we should have won that game and could have won that game,” Wilson said. “But at some point you have to move on and look back at it and realize we have something coming up next weekend and it’s another opportunity for us.”
set 25-22. The victory moves the team to 12-5 overall and 2-3 in the ACC. “Oh it was excellent,” coach Bunn said. “We were up ahead and they made a little run on us and we took care of the ball.“ The next challenge for the Pack will come from the hands of Wake Forest on Friday in Winston-Salem.
