| Field hockey, volleyball and men's soccer all battle for key points in
yearlong contest.
Six points will be on the line this Saturday as the second-annual Carlyle
Cup competition gets under way between Carolina and Duke. The Blue Devils
play the Tar Heels in field hockey at 1 p.m. at Henry Stadium and Carolina
takes on Duke's volleyball team in Durham at 7:30 p.m. Both matches are
worth 1.5 points apiece. Meanwhile in men's soccer, The Tar Heels host Duke
at Fetzer Field at 7 p.m. in a game that's worth 3 points to the winner.
The Carlyle Cup competition, sponsored by Carlyle & Co. Jewelers, is a
yearlong contest in which UNC and Duke teams earn points for head-to-head
contests in 20 sports. The school with the most points at the end of the
school wins the Carlyle Cup and gets to keep the sterling silver and enamel
urn until the end of the next school year.
Last year, the Tar Heels got off to a hot start in the fall before Duke
overcame Carolina in the spring and won the competition 27-21.
