Men's Soccer Ties Wolfpack, 0-0
November 1, 2020 | Men's Soccer
CHAPEL HILL—Fifth-ranked North Carolina and North Carolina State clawed and fought for 110 minutes at Dorrance Field on Sunday afternoon, but neither team was able to score in a defensive struggle that ended in a 0-0 tie in two overtimes.
The Tar Heels (2-1-2, 2-1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) had a handful of good scoring opportunities, particularly in the first overtime period when Jonathan Jimenez and Joe Pickering both had shots that hit the NCSU (0-5-1, 0-4-1) goalpost. Neither found the back of the net, however, and the game ended in a scoreless tie.
UNC's defense stymied NCSU's attack for much of the afternoon, limiting solid looks at the goal by attackers.
Carolina outshot the Wolfpack, 11-10, with each team notching two shots on goal and two saves. Joe Pickering and Lucas del Rosario led the Tar Heels with three shots apiece.
UNC had seven corner kicks to four for State
Alec Smir (2-1-2) played all 110 minutes in goal for the Tar Heels and made two saves. Leon Krapf did the same in goal for the Pack.
Carolina will return to action with its final match of the 2020 regular season on Friday Nov. 6 at home against Duke.
