CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - No. 3 North Carolina will host Stetson at 7 p.m. Wednesday in its regular season home finale at Fetzer Field. Prior to the match, five Tar Heel seniors - Bill Dworsky, Jordan Graye, Brooks Haggerty, Zach Loyd and Javier Velez - will be honored for their four years in Carolina Blue.
Coming off a 1-0 win at Virginia Tech, UNC (10-2-2) possesses a balanced attack with nine different goal scorers and three players with a team-high five goals - Cameron Brown, Michael Farfan and Billy Schuler. The Tar Heels have outscored the opposition by a 26-9 margin.
Freshman goalkeeper Scott Goodwin, who picked up his first career shutout last time out, is expected to start again Wednesday in place of Brooks Haggerty, who is nursing a right hip injury. In 115 minutes on the season, Goodwin has made two saves and has not allowed a goal.
The Hatters bring an 11-2-2 mark to Chapel Hill and outscored their opponents by a 31-16 margin. Griffin Gilstrap has a team-best 22 points on nine goals and four assists, while Kevin Munz has a team-high eight assists and five goals. Logan Potter has gone the distance in net for Stetson and sports a 1.04 goals against average and 71 saves.
The Tar Heels and Hatters have a pair of common opponents - Campbell and ETSU. Carolina defeated both teams, while Stetson downed ETSU and suffered a 2-0 loss to Campbell.
The two teams have met just once, with Carolina scoring a 7-0 win over the Hatters in 1990.
After nearly a week off, the Tar Heels close the regular season on the road at Elon Tuesday, Nov. 3 and at Clemson Friday, Nov. 6.
