Four Tar Heels Earn All-South Region Honors

North Carolina placed four players on the 2017 United Soccer Coaches Division I Men's Soccer All-South Regional Team. Alex Comsia, Cam Lindley and Alan Winn were named to the first team and Zach Wright to the third team. The Tar Heels tied Wake Forest for most players selected on the first team.

Comsia has led a stingy Tar Heel defense this year that has limited opponents to only 17 goals this season. The junior defenseman leads the team in minutes played with 1,797 and has started all 20 games so far this season.

Lindley, a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, finds himself on the first team for the second consecutive season. The sophomore midfielder leads the team in points (26), assists (12) and is third on the team in goals (7). His 12 assists are the most in one season by one player under Head Coach Carlos Somoano.

Winn, also a MAC Hermann Trophy Semifinalist, has been one of the top scoring threats in the ACC all season. He leads the team with 10 goals on the season and is third in total points with 22. The senior forward is also second in the ACC in goals per game at 0.67.

Wright is second on the team in assists (10) and fourth in total points (16). The senior forward from Texas has recorded 27 assists in his career which places him sixth most among active players in NCAA Division I Men's Soccer.
