Freshman leads North Carolina over Liberty in soccer

Posted Sep 17, 2008
Alex Dixon’s first collegiate goal didn’t come with a whole lot of fanfare. The second one was an entirely different story. After the North Carolina freshman punched in a goal after a Liberty turnover Tuesday night, sealing the Tar Heels’ 4-1 victory, he turned a cartwheel and launched into a full-body flip. The move even elicited a couple of cheers from 2,113 fans wondering how a tight match had turned so ugly, so quickly. (Lynchburg News & Advance)
