Freshman Joe Heilmann's first dual win as a Tar Heel helped lead No. 15 North Carolina to a 28-7 win over Appalachian State. The win gives UNC a 3-0 record to start the year for the first time since the 2005-06 season. "This was a team win. It's one you love to see," coach said. The Tar Heels will head to Las Vegas this weekend for the Cliff Keen Invitational. (GoHeels.com)
