Ndjock
had a personal-best performance for the Greyhounds in their 4-2 win over James
Madison - a team that owns a 1-0 victory over No. 2 UNC, the defending national
champions. Ndjock assisted classmate Dominic Marshall in the 6th minute to put
the Greyhounds ahead. He then assisted Stephen Dooley's game-winning goal in
the 79th minute before tacking on an insurance goal within 45 seconds
left. The two assists mark the first collegiate assists for Ndjock, while
his goal is his team-leading fifth of the year.
