CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Ernest Bawa's goal in the 43rd minute of Friday's contest was the deciding goal to lift No. 6 UNC over Georgia Southern 3-0. The Tar Heels improve to 2-0-1 on the season, while the Eagles fall to 1-2-0.
In the first half, both teams had a feeling out process, before Samuel Odame fouled a UNC player outside the area, giving the Tar Heels a free kick. Bawa would take the free kick in the 43rd minute and put the ball into the top left corner to beat Jokull Blaengsson.
