CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Senior Corey Ashe scored two goals in a five-minute span in the second half to lead 13th-ranked North Carolina to a 3-1 Atlantic Coast Conference victory over host Boston College at the Newton Campus Soccer Field.
The match marked the final regular-season game for both teams. The ACC Soccer Championship opens in Germantown, Md., on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
After a scoreless first half, Ashe took a shot from the left side of the box that beat BC goalie Chris Brown to the far corner at 51:54. Ashe doubled the Tar Heels' margin at 55:08, collecting a rebound in close and finding the back of the BC net.
UNC senior Ben Hunter made the score 3-0 at 70:14, converting a rebound from inside the box. Classmate Blake Beach assisted on the goal.
The host Eagles got on the board at 85:21 when sophomore Greg O'Neil's cross from the left side of the field found junior forward Alberto Sanchis, who chipped the ball in the right side of the goal from in close.
Brown finished with four saves. UNC senior goalie Justin Hughes stopped two shots.

BC played without the services of junior forward and the ACC's leading goal scorer Charlie Davies. Davies is nursing an ankle injury, but is expected to return for the ACC Championship next week.
