If you’re a UNC soccer fan, chances are you’re pretty happy right now.
Not only is the top-ranked women’s soccer squad undefeated – the men are as well.
On Tuesday, Sept. 19 at Dorrance Field, the Heels moved to 3-0-3, downing UNC-Wilmington 3-0 behind a 2-goal effort from graduate student Martin Vician.
UNC’s scoring just six minutes into the game, thanks to Vician finishing off a re-directed cross from teammate Quenzi Huerman. The Tar Heels extended their lead just nine minutes into the second half, when they took advantage of a turnover and Vician rocketed a low shot past UNCW goalkeeper Jacob Randolph.
After 19 minutes without a goal, Huerman got in on the scoring action. He one-timed a low pass from teammate Juan Caffaro, notching his team-high fifth goal of the year. Huerman’s five goals are the most by a Tar Heel through six games since 2011.
Next up for UNC is its archrival, 8th-ranked Duke, as the two Tobacco Road rivals face off in Chapel Hill on Saturday at 7 p.m. The Blue Devils are coming off their first loss of the year, a 2-0 defeat at Clemson.
Fans can watch UNC-Duke on the ACC Network.
