CHAPEL HILL -- The spots for Omaha are filling up, but North Carolina was the first to punch their ticket to the College World Series after sweeping Stetson this past weekend.

Following the diamond Heels' lead was their next opponent, Oregon State, who Carolina actually lost to in the national championship game back to back years in 2006 and 2007.

Carolina players give full credit to the coaching staff for their run back to Omaha.
