Seahawks Drop 2-0 Decision at #20 UNC

CHAPEL HILL, North Carolina – No. 20 North Carolina used a goal in each half to defeat UNCW, 2-0, at newly-christened Dorrance Field at the UNC Soccer and Lacrosse Stadium on Tuesday evening.
 
The Tar Heels improved to 5-3-1 on the season while the Seahawks dropped to 4-4-1.
 
North Carolina senior midfielder Mauricio Pineda gave the Tar Heels a 1-0 lead on a penalty kick that snuck inside the left post past UNCW freshman goalkeeper Gabriel Perrotta in the 13th minute.
 
Senior forward Jelani Pieters' unassisted goal in the 50th minute upped the North Carolina advantage to 2-0.
 
Freshman Michael Morell and senior Gabriel Cabral provided the Seahawks with scoring opportunities in the final 10 minutes, but were unable to thwart the Tar Heels' shutout bid.
 
Game Notes:
  • North Carolina improved to 13-5-2 all-time against the Seahawks.
  • UNCW played a nationally-ranked opponent for the first time this season. Since 2003, the Seahawks own a 17-25-6 mark against ranked foes.
  • The Seahawks made their first appearance on the ACC Network, which launched in August. 
Up Next: UNCW resumes its Colonial Athletic Association schedule with a matchup at Hofstra on Saturday, Oct. 5, at noon.
