Mike Grella scored in the second overtime on Friday night to lift 23rd-ranked Duke to a 2-1 victory over No. 13 Virginia in a men's soccer match at Charlottesville, Va.

Grella scored on a long crossing pass from Zach Pope in the 109th minute to break a 1-1 tie. The goal was Grella's fifth game-winner of the season.

Virginia led 1-0 in the closing minutes of the game, but Duke's Joshua Medcalf scored on a header at the 88:08 mark to tie the score.

The Blue Devils (8-5-1, 3-3-1 ACC) outshot their opponent for the 11th time in 14 games this season, holding an 18-11 edge over Virginia (9-4-2, 1-3-2).

BASKETBALL

TAR HEELS NO. 1: North Carolina was ranked No. 1 in the preseason USA Today/ESPN coaches poll released on Friday.

The Tar Heels received 10 first-place votes and edged UCLA, which had 12 first-place votes, with a total of 739 points. The Bruins had 734.

Memphis is ranked third and Kansas fourth.

Duke is rated No. 11 and N.C. State 24th.

DUQUESNE GUNMAN SENTENCED: The gunman who wounded five Duquesne University basketball players after a school dance last year pleaded guilty Friday and will spend up to 40 years in prison.

William B. Holmes III, 19, of Pittsburgh, shot players Sam Ashaolu, Shawn James, Kojo Mensah, Aaron Jackson and Stuard Baldonado on campus on Sept. 17, 2006.

Holmes and some male friends had gone to the dance with two women. One woman flirted with some basketball players, leading to an argument after which Holmes and another man, Derek Scott Lee, 19, of Pittsburgh, opened fire.

Holmes was sentenced to 18 to 40 years in prison after pleading guilty to attempted homicide and aggravated assault charges. Lee was sentenced to seven to 14 years after pleading guilty to the same charges Tuesday.

The wounded players, some teammates, and coach Ron Everhart were in court, but did not immediately comment.

GEORGIA DISMISSES SENIOR: Senior Takais Brown, Georgia's leading scorer last season who already was suspended for the first nine games this season, was dismissed from the team Friday.

Coach Dennis Felton said Brown was kicked off the team for a violation of team policies but can remain at Georgia as a student.

Brown, a forward from Flint, Mich., led Georgia with 14.2 points per game last season.

He and two other Georgia players were suspended earlier this month for violations of the school's new class attendance policy for student-athletes.

MISSOURI SENIOR CHARGED: Missouri senior forward Darryl Butterfield was charged Friday with peace disturbance, a little over a week after he was arrested following an incident with his girlfriend.

Butterfield was initially accused of third-degree domestic assault following his arrest on Oct. 17, but that charge was never filed, said Andrea Hayes, assistant prosecutor for Boone County. Peace disturbance is a lesser charge, though both are misdemeanors.

Butterfield is scheduled for arraignment Oct. 30, Hayes said. He faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail.

MISCELLANY

FSU NAMES INTERIM AD: State Rep. Bill Proctor will serve as Florida State's interim athletics director.

The St. Augustine Republican will replace David Hart Jr. when he leaves Dec. 31, university president T.K. Wetherell said Friday.

Hart was told this summer his contract would not be renewed after it expires in January 2009. Hart agreed to leave earlier with a lump sum of $475,000.

Proctor, 74, will keep his position as chancellor of Flagler College during his stint at Florida State, where he earned three degrees including a doctorate in education administration.
