Keeran, a sophomore from Sunbury, Ohio, scored her first goal in the opening period to put UNC up 1-0 and her second in the 50th minute of play to put the Tar Heels up 3-1. The win gave No. 9 UNC a 3-1 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play and locked up the No. 2 seed in the ACC Tournament, which begins Nov. 7 at Duke.
She also was named ACC Field Hockey Player of the Week.
After missing the first four games of the season with a broken jaw, Keeran has started the last 13 and now has four goals, two of them game-winners. She also has two assists for a total of 10 points, tied for fourth on the team.
Saturday's performance was Keeran's first two-goal game of the season and the third of her career.
