Marquette last met the Tar Heels in the same event in 2012, suffering a 4-0 defeat to push its record to 0-4 all-time against UNC. In addition to a 1-0 loss to then-No. 1 North Carolina in 2009 at Notre Dame, MU fell to UNC, 2-0, in 2006 and 4-1 in 2002 in the Duke adidas Classic.
The Golden Eagles (0-3-1) fell to No. 12 Duke, 2-0, on Thursday evening in their first match in Carolina despite a season-best seven save performance by junior goalkeeper Maddy Henry.

North Carolina owns a pair of victories over nationally ranked squads this season and fought to a 1-1 draw with then-No. 21 Texas on Aug. 22.
