So Sweet! UNH Downs North Carolina to Earn NCAA Men's Soccer Sweet 16 Berth

DURHAM, N.H. -  Riding an offensive surge that scored four first-half goals, New Hampshire is moving on in the NCAA Men's Soccer Championship. The 16th-seeded Wildcats took down North Carolina, 4-1, on Sunday in front of over 3,200 fans at Wildcat Stadium to reach the third round. 

Bridger Hansen started the scoring with a highlight reel goal off of a bicycle kick in the 23rd minute. 
 
After North Carolina evened the scoring just 1:23 later, UNH scored three times in an eight-minute span to close the half. Rory O'Driscoll, Jacob Gould and Johann von Knebel all the found the back of the net.  

It's the second time in the last five years UNH has reached the third round and the fourth time since 2014 an #AEMSOC team has accomplished the feat (UAlbany, 2014; UAlbany, 2016; UNH, 2017).

UNH will face the winner of Oregon State and St. John's on either Saturday, Nov. 27 or Sunday, Nov. 28.
