COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Maryland senior midfielder Domenic Mediate broke a scoreless tie in the 75th minute to lead the host Terrapins to a 1-0 win over North Carolina Sunday at Ludwig Field. With the loss, the Tar Heels fall to 3-6-2 and 1-2-0 in Atlantic Coast Conference action. Maryland is now 7-3-1 and 1-2-1 in league play.
After outshooting, the Tar Heels 10-4 in the first half, the Terps continued to control possession in the second half and denied counter attacks from North Carolina. Minutes after Terp goal was negated by an offsides call, Maryland scored the game winner when Kenney Bertz won a 50-50 ball and passed the ball to Mediate's feet. After a nice move at the top-right corner of the box, Mediate slotted a ball to the far post past Tar Heel goalkeeper Ford Williams for the score at 74:12.
North Carolina pressed in the game's final 15 minutes but was unable to find the equalizing goal.
Williams went the distance in goal for Carolina, posting four saves. The Tar Heels had nine shots on the afternoon led senior forward Marcus Storey, who fired three shots to lead the Carolina attack.
The Tar Heels, who have faced five nationally-ranked opponents in their last six matches, return to action at Elon at 7 p.m. Wednesday. Carolina returns to action at Fetzer Field against South Carolina at 7 p.m. Saturday.
