Junior led Carolina to shutouts against FSU & Virginia Tech
North Carolina midfielder Emily Fox has been tabbed ACC Defensive Player of the Week for games the week of October 21-27. Fox played all but 12 minutes in the midfield during North Carolina's 2-0 week, helping the Tar Heels secure the 2019 ACC regular season championship.
She played all 90 minutes in the shutout of No. 5 Florida State in a rematch of the 2018 NCAA National Championship match and 2018 ACC Tournament final. Hailing from Ashburn, Va., Fox then played 78 minutes in the 2-0 win over Virginia Tech on Sunday. The Tar Heels did not allow a shot on goal against the 25th-ranked Hokies.
Fox has been a key cog in a UNC defensive effort which has allowed only one goal in nine ACC matches totaling 830 minutes of game action. ACC women's soccer regular season action concludes Thursday night with all 14 teams in action.
The 2019 ACC Championship starts this weekend, as the top-eight teams will qualify for the event with the quarterfinals at campus sites on Nov. 3. The semifinals and final will be held at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C., on Friday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 10, respectively.
