North Carolina will be seeking only its second victory ever over the Fighting Irish at Fetzer Field. Although the Tar Heels are 12-5-2 all-time against the Fighting Irish UNC is only 1-4 in games played at Fetzer Field. The only win came in 1998 by a 5-1 score.

Tickets are now on sale at the Ticket Center at TarHeelBlue.com. Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance to avoid potentially long lines Friday.
