PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The University of North Carolina men's soccer team lost its second consecutive game on Friday afternoon, dropping a 2-1 decision to Yale at the adidas/Brown Classic on the campus of Brown University. With the loss, Carolina falls to 3-2 this season. Yale, playing its season-opener, improves to 1-0.
The Tar Heels, who lost 1-0 at home to Davidson last Saturday night, have lost two consecutive games for the first time in over two seasons - since the last two games of the 1999 season.
