Ace Jason DeCaro and postseason hero Gavin Gallaher were expected to lead the Tar Heels on the sport's biggest stage. And they did exactly that in UNC's 6-2 win over Ole Miss on Friday. But while the veterans provided some of the biggest moments, freshmen Caden Glauber and Tyler Howe played critical roles in helping UNC move to the winners' bracket. (TarHeel247)
