WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The Howard University Bison will face the University of North Carolina Tar Heels in the first round of the 2018 NCAA Division I College Cup on Saturday, November 10 at 1 p.m.

The Tar Heels are 17-3-1 for the season, joining Stanford, Georgetown and Florida State as No. 1 tournament seeds. The Tar Heels only loss this season came in the finals of the 2018 ACC Women's Soccer Tournament against Florida State. Going undefeated in the regular season earned the Tar Heels its 37th consecutive trip to the NCAA tournament, 21 of which they've won.

This is the third conference title in five years for the Bison, winning consecutive SWAC tournaments in 2014 and 2015. This year they defeated Grambling State University to become the conference champions.

The Bison will travel to Koka Booth Stadium at WakeMed Park in Cary, N.C. for Saturday's match. The game will air via webcast on the ACC Network Extra and live stats will be available at NCAA.com.
