Navy will try to set a national attendance record when it hosts No. 1 North Carolina Friday night.
UNC is 9-0-0. Unranked Navy is 7-0-1 with a 34-game regular-season unbeaten streak dating back to 2001. The Midshipmen will be playing at the 34,000-seat Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium for the first time in the program's history. Navy has promoted the Friday night game as ''Break the Record Night. It is looking to break the NCAA single-game attendance mark of 6,070 (Syracuse at Connecticut, Sept. 26, 1999).
After four weeks packed with tournament action, Week 5 is relatively light. Four games involving Top 25 teams are on tap this weekend: No. 8 Portland at No. 13 Washington Friday; No. 2 Florida at No. 24 Utah, No. 7 West Virginia at No. 19 Tennessee and No. 23 Cal Poly at No. 11 Santa Clara Sunday.
In midweek action, Boston College suffered its first blemish after eight straight wins when it was tied by Providence, 1-1, in Big East action. Midfielder Lisa Stoia scored two goals and tallied an assist as West Virginia won its eighth straight after an opening defeat with a 5-0 win over Binghamton. Stanford broke of its scoring drought with two goals in the first seven minutes en route to a 6-1 win over San Francisco. Penn State, paced by two goals from sophomore Tiffany Weimer, defeated James Madison, 4-1.
North Carolina (9-0-0), No. 2 Florida (7-0-0), Cal Poly (8-0-0) and unranked Oklahoma State (8-0-0) are the only remaining unbeaten and untied teams.
