Tar Heels survive, celebrate


North Carolina always fields a good men's soccer team. The Tar Heels had made it to the College Cup - soccer's version of the final four - three times in a row heading into this season. But there was one key reason that those three final four trips ended in losses and the 2011 version of the Tar Heels won the national championship with a 1-0 victory over Charlotte Sunday: This team had a great survival instinct.
