• For UNC, Saturday will be the earliest the Tar Heels have played a league game, the previous coming on March 1, 2014 against Notre Dame.
McGovern and Goldsmith's Hot Start
• Attackman Logan McGovern has made a huge imprint thus far, in his first three games as a Tar Heel.
• The Bryant transfer leads the Heels offensively with 10 points (6 G, 4 A), including a six point outburst in the season opening win against Mercer (4 G, 2 A).
• Fellow transfer Sean Goldsmith (Mercer), joins McGovern as the lone Tar Heels to find the back of the net in the first three games.
• Goldsmith ranks second on UNC with seven points (4 G, 3 A) to begin the year.
Between The Pipes
• Collin Krieg has been arguably one of the best goalkeepers in the country to begin 2023.
• Krieg ranks in the top-5 in goals-against average (5th - 6.55) and save percentage (5th - .673), anchoring a defense that ranks third nationally and first in the ACC in scoring defense (6.00 goals/game).
• Against Ohio State on Sunday, Krieg stopped 13 shots, his eighth-straight 10+ save performance, the 24th occasion in his collegiate career.
