CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - After helping post a school-record 15 shutouts a year ago, North Carolina defenders Andre Sherard and Michael Harrington were named to the College Soccer News Preseason All-America squad earlier this week. Sherard was a second-team selection, while Harrington earned a spot on the third team.
Both Greenville, N.C., natives, Sherard and Harrington each earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference and all-region accolades a year ago. A junior center back, Sherard has started 44 games over the past two seasons. Harrington will be playing his second season at outside back and has started 62 games at Carolina. He is the most offensive-minded of the UNC defenders and has career totals of three goals and 10 assists entering 2006.
A total of seven ACC players were honored by CSN, but Harrington and Sherard were the only set of teammates to earn a spot on the Preseason All-America squad.
After Carolina plays its second exhibition at Gardner-Webb Saturday, fans can get their first look at the 2006 Tar Heels at Fetzer Field in the Blue-White Exhibition Aug. 21 at 7 p.m.
