CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Coming off a thrilling 1-0 win at No. 4 Virginia on Friday the second-ranked Tar Heels will look to keep the momentum rolling Tuesday night when they host Radford (4-2-2) at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field. Carolina claimed a 2-0 road win against the Highlanders a year ago.
The Tar Heels and Highlanders have met eight times on the pitch with UNC holding a 5-2-1 record. The teams have met just once since 1999 with Carolina claiming a 2-0 road win a year ago.

Carolina's defense has registered a shutout three times this year but all have come during Atlantic Coast Conference play where the Tar Heels are 4-0 on the season.
