Shelb was one of four goal scorers on the night along with <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/bertil-rygaard-hansen\/26659\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"26659\" target=\"_blank\">Bertil Rygaard Hansen<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/luca-nikolai\/27033\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"27033\" target=\"_blank\">Luca Nikolai<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/charlie-antonelius\/27073\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"27073\" target=\"_blank\">Charlie Antonelius<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/nico-loebus\/28229\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"28229\" target=\"_blank\">Nico Loebus<\/a> provided two assists on the day, while Shelb offered the third.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nRygaard Hansen got the Heels off and running with a chance in the first minute, forcing a nice save by Duke&#8217;s keeper. He got another chance a few minutes later and took his chance to give UNC a 1-0 lead. Loebus provided one of his assists on the opener.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nDuke equalized after a ball bouncing around in the box got tapped in. Then, Duke was awarded a penalty after <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/alan-rutkowski\/26680\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"26680\" target=\"_blank\">Alan Rutkowski<\/a> made a nice save at point blank range. The Devils took a 2-1 lead until Luca Nikoali smashed home a penalty to make it 2-2 just before halftime.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Heels pushed to take the lead, but Duke went up 3-2 in the 68&#8242; off a flicked header on a corner kick. UNC continued the push and <a href=\"https:\/\/goheels.com\/sports\/mens-soccer\/roster\/charlie-antonelius\/27073\" rel=\"smarttag nofollow noopener\" rev=\"27073\" target=\"_blank\">Charlie Antonelius<\/a> equalized on his own header from a Shelb corner. Moments later, a Blue Devil was sent off with his second yellow after a nasty challenge on Rutkowski.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nCarolina took the opportunity against 10 men and applied serious pressure, nearly taking the lead a few times. In the 89&#8242;, Loebus used a cut back to find Shelb who buried the winner in the bottom corner.<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>\nThe Heels saw out the remaining eight minutes or so and moved to 2-0 in the Carolina Cup with wins over Duke and Wake Forest.
