The Carolina men's soccer team began its quest for back-to-back NCAA titles Friday night, defeating Winthrop 6-0 Friday night at Fetzer Field.

Carolina's #12 Ryan Kneipper went off in the first half, scoring on a header to put the Heels up 2-0.

That was Kneipper's second goal of the game, and there would be many more to come.

After a third goal at the start of te second half, Kneipper tapped one in for his fourth goal and a 4-0 Carolina lead.

Kneipper finished with five goals, tying a U-N-C single game record.

The Heels won, 6-0, and one-man-show Ryan Kneipper knew from the start he would have a spectacular performance.

"I wanted to focus on trying to get a goal today. Sometimes you just feel it as a forward and I just felt everytime I touched the ball it was going to go into the net, it was just my frame of mind," he said.
