University of North Carolina Athletics
Tickets Available For Saturday's NCAA Third Round Match
November 25, 2015 | Men's Soccer
The Tar Heels were given the No. 5 national seed in the 2015 NCAA Championship and earned a first-round bye. UNC won 2-1 over Coastal Carolina last Sunday in a second-round game in Chapel Hill.
Creighton also had a first-round bye, then picked up a 5-1 victory over Drake to advance into the third round.
Arguably the most intriguing NCAA Round of 16 match pits UNC head coach Carlos Somoano against Creighton's current and former Tar Heel head coach Elmar Bolowich.
Somoano, an assistant to Bolowich for nine seasons, took over the UNC head coaching job in 2011 and promptly won an NCAA title in his first season. Somoano's .766 winning percentage is the best in Tar Heel program history.
Bolowich served as head coach at UNC for 22 years (1989-2010), has a program record 280 victories and won the 2001 NCAA title.
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students (7-college age) and seniors (55+) and $3 for groups of 10 or more. UNC students will receive FREE admission with their One Card. Tickets are available on GoHeels.com.
