Heels eager for soccer rematch with Deacons

As their female counterparts completed their high-profile course to an NCAA title, the North Carolina men's soccer team quietly put itself in position to win a championship of its own. Few gave this Tar Heels squad a chance after it finished the regular season with five straight losses. And if UNC is going to get to the final, it will have to go through top-ranked, defending national champion Wake Forest (23-1-1) in today's semifinal. (Raleigh News & Observer)
