Game Notes

By: UNC Athletic Communications

A 1-vs-2 battle is on tap for Karen Shelton Stadium Friday when Duke visits Chapel Hill for a Atlantic Coast Conference field hockey matchup. The top-ranked Tar Heels come into the game 9-0 (2-0 ACC) while Duke is 8-1 (0-1). It's the first top-two meeting at Shelton Stadium, which is in its second season as the Tar Heels' home.

Game time is 4:30 p.m. and there is no charge for admission.

While both teams have high-powered offenses, they're also leading the league in defense: Duke has allowed just six goals in nine games this season, while UNC has allowed eight.

At halftime, UNC will celebrate the 10^th anniversary of its 2009 NCAA Championship and the 30^th anniversary of its 1989 Championship.

The first 250 fans will get free chips and salsa in celebration of National Taco Day, which is also on Friday.
