The Heels took their ACC opening series 2-1 over Pitt and won two mid week games against East Carolina and Elon before blowing out Duke in three straight games in Durham.
Carolina had their ACC opener against Pitt last week and took two of three games from the Panthers. The Heels got excellent performances from Zac Gallen and J.B. Bukauskas on Friday and Saturday before an offensive dud on Sunday gave the Panthers some consolation. The offense found its groove again in the mid-week with a blowout win over ECU in Greenville and then a 11-6 win over Elon at home.
