HOW WE GOT HERE
Carolina earned the No. 2 seed in the ACC Championship by finishing atop the Coastal Division standings, securing the third regular-season title in the last five years under the watch of head coach Carlos Somoano. The Tar Heels received a first-round bye.
Syracuse advanced to Sunday's match with a 2-0 shutout of NC State on Wednesday night in a first-round match in Central New York.
LEADING SCORERS
Tucke Hume is tied for the ACC lead with nine goals and tops UNC with 22 total points in 2015. Alan Winn is second on the club with 16 points on six goals and four assists.
Julian Buescher from Syracuse is third in the ACC with 23 points on eight goals and seven assists. Teammate Ben Polk is second on the Orange squad with 18 points with seven goals and four assists.
UP NEXT
