Colton Storm's second goal of the season in the 85th minute put the Heels ahead 1-0. Tucker Hume followed just two minutes later with an insurance goal to effectively sow up UNC's eighth win of the season. The Heels are now 4-0 in ACC play.

Women's soccer

The #1 ranked women's soccer team was set to host Boston College at Fetzer Field on Friday but the Carolina Monsoon of 2015 rendered the field unplayable. So UNC found a turf field to play on at Cedar Falls Park in Chapel Hill as the Heels took down the Eagles 2-0. Alexa Newfield scored her team leading seventh goal of the season to stake a 1-0 lead for the Heels in the 16th minute. Joanna Boyles third score of the season six minutes into the second half put the Heels up 2-0.

After facing Louisville on Thursday, UNC will kickoff a three game stretch versus ranked ACC opponents starting with #2 Florida State on Sunday in Tallahassee.
