“This is our final chance in preseason to compete and do well,” said head coach Mark Parsons. “Preseason has been a great success and it is important to us to finish strong. UNC plays at an exceptional pace and will test us all over the field. We have specific areas we want to see improvement in our performance and we will work hard to meet those goals.”
