The High Point University men's soccer team fell to Atlantic Coast Conference foe North Carolina, 4-0 on Tuesday night at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C.
On UNC's first goal of the night, Bill Dworsky fed Brian Shriver, who beat a High Point defender and fired from 20 yards out to give the Tar Heels a 1-0 lead at the 24:44 mark. Dworsky, who collected his third assist on the play, chipped the ball from near midfield to a streaking Shriver, who sent a blast from just outside the 18 to the left side of the net. The goal was Shriver's second of the season.
Garry Lewis pushed the advantage to 2-0 at the 43:32 mark with his third goal of the season. He dribbled to the 18 and chipped a shot from the left side to the upper right-hand corner of the net past HPU (5-9-1) keeper Adam Ross, who made three saves and allowed two goals in the first half.
Eddie Ababio set up his own penalty kick at 60:41 when he made a run from his outside back position up the left flank and was brought down in the box after a give-and-go. Ababio beat keeper Corey Whisenhunt, who came on for the second half, just under the cross bar to the left side of the net for his first goal of the season and third of his career.
Joan Carvajal added his first goal as a Tar Heel in the 79th minute when he sent a 23-yard blast off the near post and into the back of the net for the fourth score of the night for Carolina, which played 17 players on the match.
Carolina dominated possession in the match, limiting the Panthers to just four shots. The Tar Heels posted a 14-4 edge in shots, and the four goals marked the second-best offensive output of the season behind only the 7-0 win over Liberty on Oct. 2. Carolina has outscored its opponents 22-11 on the year.
The Panthers will be back in action on Saturday, Oct. 27 when they return home and host Big South opponent Coastal Carolina. Game time is set for 5:00 p.m. at Vert Track and Soccer Stadium.
