The ACC season kicked off for a number of teams over the weekend, as college soccer action
continued across the country. The University of Maryland got its league schedule started right with
a 2-0 victory over Boston College in College Park. The Terrapins face Duquense on Tuesday.
Elsewhere in the ACC, Duke beat Virginia 1-0 in double overtime, while midfielder Michael Farfan
scored the game winner as UNC beat NC State 2-1.
Sochaux snatched a 1-0 victory over AS Monaco as former Boston College forward Charlie Davies
continues to impress for his new club. Winning a penalty and generally terrorizing the Monaco
defense, Davies endeared himself to the home crowd with his all-action performance.

The important ACC match between UNC and Maryland came down to the wire on Friday. No. 2 UNC saw

just when overtime seemed imminent.
