UNC's other rain delay turns out better in 2-0 soccer win
Posted Sep 9, 2012
North Carolina had to wait longer than expected to start its ACC men’s soccer season, but senior forward Martin Murphy eventually got them off to a fast start. The start of Saturday night’s ACC opener was delayed for 90 minutes by a thunderstorm. However, Murphy struck for two goals in a two-minute span of the first half and led the No. 1-ranked Tar Heels to a 2-0 victory over Virginia Tech.
