- Carolina and Boston College will play for the 21st time with the Heels holding a 13-5-2 edge in the series.
- Head Coach Carlos Somoano is in his 16th season at the helm of Carolina soccer (25th overall). He holds a career record of 189-70-58.
- Carolina's transfer class of Nick Lockermann, Nico Loebus, Joschi Schelb and Ryan Zellefrow was ranked No. 2 by TopDrawerSoccer, while its incoming freshman class was ranked 14th.
- Schelb was named to the MAC Hermann Trophy Watch List after scoring in seven of UNC's nine games, including one in each of the last four.
- Luca Nikolai was drafted by NYCFC, but made the decision to return to Carolina to finish off his college career leading the Tar Heels. He's converted two penalties to go along with an assist on the season.
- Carolina had six players listed on the Hermann Trophy Watch Lists. Lockermann earned a spot with the defenders, while Evans Dapaah, Loebus, Nikolai, Schelb and Zellefrow were listed on the midfielders list, although Schelb will play as a forward this season.
- After four years with Andrew Cordes in goal, Alan Rutkowski has taken over the goalkeeping duties. The Elmwood, N.J. native served as Cordes' understudy last season after playing his club football with the New York Red Bulls.
