"We're going to Chapel Hill where we've got four ACC teams and a couple of nationally ranked teams so it's going to be quite a good field," said head coach Jeff Trivette. "I want to see us compete really well and I want to get a picture of what the spring's going to look like you know, who's going to step up, who's going to lead and who's going to be at the level that we need to compete for a SoCon Championship."
