Brian Shriver scored the game-winner against No. 1 ranked Wake Forest and
Brooks Haggerty stopped 11 saves in two games in the NCAA Men's Soccer
College Cup and are the Progress Energy Tar Heel Performers of the Week for December
8-14, 2008.
Haggerty, a junior from Cary, made a career-best seven saves - several of
the spectacular variety - as the Tar Heels shut out Wake Forest, the
nation's top offense, 1-0. He finished with a 0.59 goals against average and
21 saves in the NCAA Tournament to earn a spot on the College Cup
All-Tournament Team.
Shriver, a senior from Clearwater, Fla., joined Haggerty with all-tourney
honors after scoring the game-winner in the semis against Wake. Shriver
scored on an 8-yard header in the fourth minute to lead UNC past the Demon
Deacons. Shriver, who finished with four points on a goal and two assists in
the postseason, notched 14 goals and 33 points this season for the highest
scoring output by a Tar Heel since 2002.
