CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Behind Martin Vician's two-goal showing, the North Carolina men's soccer team (3-0-3, 0-0-2 ACC) defeated UNCW 3-0, in non-conference action Tuesday night.

How It Happened
• Carolina opened the scoring in the seventh minute, when Parker O'Ferral's cross found Quenzi Huerman at the back post, who dished to Martin Vician.
• Vician collected his second goal of the night in the 55th minute, connecting once again with Huerman.
• Huerman scored his fifth goal of the season in the 74 minute, sending home a cross from Juan Caffaro.

Inside the Numbers
• Carolina builds on its series lead with the Seahawks, 14-6-3, including 10-2-2 in Chapel Hill.
• Goalkeepers Quinn Closson and Andrew Cordes combined for the shutout.
• Til Zinnhardt, Charlie Harper, Parker O'Ferral, and Andrew Czech played the full 90 minutes
• Vician's two goals was the fourth multi-goal game of his career, and his first as a Tar Heel.

Huerman's Hot Start
• Quenzi Huerman's five goals are the most scored by a Tar Heel in the first six games of the season since Billy Schuler scored five in 2011.
• Huerman's one goal and two assist effort tonight moved his point tally to 13 on the year (five goals and three assists). His 13 points through the first six games of the season is the most by any Tar Heel since the turn of the century.
