When the Tar Heels needed a response after going down 1-0 in the 18th minute, Ullmark responded with a well-placed first-time finish. When Virginia regained the lead in the 35th, it was Ullmark again, playing a sensational through ball. And when the game called for a world-class moment to separate the ACC rivals, the New York native delivered a top-notch game-winner in the 74th minute. In all, the two-time Gatorade New York POTY had a hand in all three goals as No. 2 North Carolina narrowly edged No. 10 Virginia 3-2.
