Late Goal Lifts Wake Over UNC In Exhibition Match
August 24, 2014 | Men's Soccer
Wake opened the scoring midway through the first half and would take the 1-0 advantage in the locker room at intermission.
Tar Heel senior Tyler Engel scored off a feed from Andy Craven in the 57th minute to knot the match at 1-1, however, the Deacs found the game winner late in the contest, coming in the 87th minute.
The Tar Heels and Demon Deacons, long standing rivals in the Atlantic Coast Conference, will not face each other in the regular season due to the revised league schedule in 2014.
Split into two divisions for the first time, UNC plays in the Coastal Division, while Wake competes within the Atlantic Division. Each team only plays two opponents from the opposite division and its six divisional foes for a total of eight ACC contests.
Carolina's two Atlantic opponents this season are Boston College and NC State.
The Tar Heel open the regular season by hosting the annual Carolina Nike Classic against California on Friday, Aug. 29 and versus UCLA on Sunday, Aug. 31. Both matches against these top-10 ranked opponents are slated for 7 p.m., and will broadcast live on GoHeelsTV.
