He’s joined by fellow junior attackman Jimmy Bitter, who has 15 goals and seven assists for 22 points. Senior Pat Foster, who has started at attack the past three games after beginning the season on the second midfield, and junior midfielder Chad Tutton also have double-digit goals with 13 each. Sophomore Kieran Burke has started all eight games in net for the Tar Heels and has a 7.49 goals-against average and is saving 57.8 percent of the shots opponents have put on goal. Senior faceoff specialist R.G. Keenan has seen limited playing time so far this season (11/19, .579), but freshman Stephen Kelly has stepped in and won 74-of-121 draws (.612) with 47 groundballs and two goals.
