Carolina Handball Team Grabs Top Spot
By Jennifer Maness

Carolina’s handball team played Air Force in the semi-finals. The game was heated, and thanks to strong play by sophomore Alex McGlynn, the Tar Heels came out on top, 17-15.

The final game pitted Carolina against the 2003 champion, West Point. McGlynn says West Point brought its A game.

“Those West Point guys, they're just, you know, used to working out everyday,” McGlynn says. “They're in great physical condition, and we stuck with them and hit them just as hard as they were hitting us, so we played a good game.”

After two halves of intense defense and show-stopping scoring, Carolina took the 2006 national championship, 20-13. Wade Sutton says it made his senior year complete.

“Three-peating as college national champions, we've never done that before,” Sutton says. “Until we won one three years ago we'd never done that, either. Just going out and winning three in a row is just something that I don't know if we'll ever do again.”

Looks like Fetzer Gym will be boasting a new banner.
