Jack Skahan – North Carolina

North Carolina sophomore midfielder Jack Skahan had only scored one goal this season before the Tar Heels' third round game against SMU. He doubled his yearly total with a bouncing strike from 25 yards out that proved to be the game-winner.

Skahan gets the Heels on the board, and Pieters shuts the door!

Jannik Loebe – Fordham

Opponents beware, Fordham isn't messing around. After beating St. Francis (Brooklyn) in the first round, the Rams have knocked off No. 11 seed Virginia and No. 6 seed Duke. Next up? Another seeded ACC foe, North Carolina. Jannik Loebe tied the game 1-1 against Duke with his goal in the 40th minute.
