A season-ending matchup from one of the nation’s top collegiate rivalries also represents an enormous top-tier clash as No. 4 UNC host No. 1 Duke at Dorrance Field on Halloween night.
Duke, coming off a high-profile victory on the road at No. 2 Wake Forest, have already wrapped up the top spot in the ACC regular season standings, but UNC’s prospects are far from concrete.
The Tar Heels are battling for the second-place spot in the ACC, which comes with a coveted first-round bye in the six-team ACC Championship tournament. An upset win would wrap up the No. 2 seed for UNC, but anything less would open the door for Virginia Tech, Florida State, or Wake Forest to jump them with a win of their own that same night.
These two teams met earlier in the season in a rare non-conference matchup, with Duke winning 1-0 as part of their exceptional current 14-match unbeaten streak which features 13 victories and one draw.
Here’s how to watch Thursday’s pivotal showdown:
