Final Stats
 
After a 0-0 first half that saw North Carolina (9-5-4) take all six shots, including four on goal, Marshall was able to penetrate the Tar Heels defense. Milo Yosef dribbled to just inside the 18-yard box and made a pass to Vitor Dias, who was near the 12-yard spot with his back to the goal. Dias flicked a pass that Roberts one-timed with his right foot past North Carolina goaltender Alec Smir for his fourth goal of the season and the second in as many games. Yosef and Dias each received assists on the goal which came on Marshall’s first shot of the game.
 
It was the second straight game Roberts and Dias combined on the winning Marshall goal, as Roberts’ goal in the quarterfinals from an assist by Dias was the difference in a 1-0 victory over Georgetown.
 
North Carolina out-shot the Herd 11-1, including 5-1 in shots on goal. The Tar Heels took all eight corner kicks in the game.
 
Marshall goalkeeper Oliver Semmle made five saves in the game.
