Regardless of the outcome of North Carolina’s matchup with Monmouth in the first round of the NCAA tournament, Justin Anderson had already won the weekend.
The 25-year-old senior midfielder for the Tar Heels knew that May would be a special month his North Carolina team has a great chance to win another national title, but more importantly, he was anxiously awaiting the birth of his first child.
“My first joke was, ‘If this falls on a weekend when there’s a playoff game, I don’t know how we’re going to be able to work it out,’” Anderson joked back in January.
