UNC Men’s Soccer: Second Team Tar Heel XI

In mid-June, the North Carolina Tar Heels men’s soccer program launched a fan vote to determine the best players in program history. The all-time team will be named the “Tar Heel XI.”

Over the course of four weeks in June and July, fans voted on Twitter for their choice of midfielders, forwards, defenders, and goalkeepers.

This week, UNC announced the Second Team Tar Heel XI, with the Tar Heel XI to be announced on July 29.

Below is the Second Team Tar Heel XI, including career highlights. Via UNC Athletics:
