CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -
North Carolina, ranked No. 5 in this week's Soccer America Top 25, will look to rebound from its first loss of the season Tuesday at Radford at 7 p.m. at Cupp Stadium. The Tar Heels, who fell 1-0 at Maryland last Friday, sport a 5-1-1 record. The Highlanders are 2-3-1 following a 2-0 loss to Gardner-Webb Saturday.
Despite being shut out for the first time this season, Carolina leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with 16 goals in just seven games. Eight different Tar Heels have scored on the season, including Cameron Brown and Michael Farfan with three scores apiece.
UNC has surrendered just five goals, and senior goalkeeper Brooks Haggerty is second in the league with a 0.68 goals against average in seven starts.
Radford has scored just four goals on the season, and James Jordan leads the squad with three points. Ryan Taylor owns a 1.05 GAA in six games.
The Tar Heels own a 4-2-1 lead in the all-time series, but the teams have not met since a scoreless tie at Radford in 1998.
Following Tuesday's match, Carolina returns to Fetzer Field Friday to face Virginia at 7 p.m.
