Cary, N.C. -- North Carolina scored two goals in each half against Stetson to take home the 4-1 win in its second exhibition game of the 2018 season. Back at the familiar WakeMed Soccer Park, the Tar Heels looked comfortable from the start as they scored two goals in the first 20 minutes.

Carolina jumped out to a 3-0 lead two minutes in to the second half and never looked back on a warm, clear night in Cary. Stetson responded with a goal of their own but the Tar Heels wasted no time in getting the three-goal lead back as they scored a minute later to cap the night at 4-1.

Twenty-three Tar Heels saw action against Stetson as the team prepares for its final exhibition game on Sunday when they travel to Greensboro, N.C., and Bryan Park to take on Presbyterian at 7 p.m. Entry to the game is free.
