Men's Soccer Ties Defending NCAA Champ Marshall, 1-1, In Scrimmage

CHAPEL HILL—The University of North Carolina men's soccer team tied defending NCAA champion Marshall, 1-1, in a scrimmage on Sunday night at a wet Dorrance Field.

The game was a rematch of two teams that met in the NCAA College Cup semifinals a year ago. The Thundering Herd edged UNC in that match, 1-0, and went on to win the national championship two days later.

After a scoreless first half on Sunday night, Marshall took a 1-0 lead in the 58th minute on its first shot attempt of the game. Pedro Dolabella scored from 25 yards out, driving a shot over the head of Tar Heel keeper Alec Smir to make it 1-0.
