Soccer

Shriver, who leads the Atlantic Coast Conference with 12 goals this season, scored twice in Tuesday’s 4-1 win over William & Mary. The Clearwater, Fla., product netted Carolina’s first two scores against the Tribe, including his ACC-best fourth game-winner in the 39th minute.
Shriver, who has three multi-goal games in the Tar Heels’ last six contests, leads UNC with 25 points on 12 goals and an assist.
Volleyball
Tar Heels Fall At Miami
A night after coming back from a 2-1 hole at Florida State the North Carolina volleyball team attempted the same feat Saturday night in Miami but the Tar Heels were unsuccessful as the Hurricanes claimed the 3-1 win (20-25, 25-21, 25-19, 25-23). The Tar Heels mounted a late comeback in the fourth set but were unable to climb over the hump as Miami held on for the win. The Tar Heels will look to rebound Friday when they host Clemson at 5 p.m. in the Smith Center as a lead in to Late Night With Roy.
