UNCW vs. UVA Men's soccer NCAA tournament
UNCW looks to knock of a traditional ACC power at UVA. On paper, this looks like a game UNCW can win.
Both team give up less than one goal per game, with UNCW at .84gpg and UVA at .83 gpg. However, UNCW has scored 1.63 gpg while UVA has only scored 1.17 gpg. In fact, UVA only scored 3 goals total in the first half of games, with 16 of their goals coming in the 2nd half, and 2 in OT. UNCW has scored 10 in the first half, 18 in the second, and 1 in OT. If UNCW can get on the board early, their incredible defense should keep this one close.
Common opponents:
UNC - UNCW won 4-3 at Wilmington, and UVA tied 1-1 at Chapel Hill.
Duke - UNCW won 2-1 in Wilmington, and UVA won 1-0 in Charlottesville
JMU - UNCW tied 1-1 and lost 2-0, and UVA won 2-1 in OT at home
This should be a very low scoring game. Temps will be in the mid 50's with a 0% chance of rain. UVA has averaged over 2200 in attendance at home, so they should have a pretty rowdy crowd on hand, where they are 7-2-1 on the season. UNCW, however, has played well on the road, where defense keeps games close.
Prediction - UNCW 1-0 OT
