Impact Freshmen

Davidson: G Jon Axel Gudmundsson

Gudmundsson is a 6-foot-4 guard from Iceland. He has played in seven games this season and is averaging seven points and four rebounds in 29 minutes of play. Like Gibbs, Gudmundsson will be key against a UNC team without their floor general for this game.

North Carolina: G Seventh Woods

With the injury to Joel Berry II, Woods gets another look. He played a season-high 22 minutes against Radford, mainly due to Berry being injured. In that time he finished with nine points, three rebounds and an assist.

He also had five turnovers. Three of those came back to back to back not long after Berry went out. Woods’ development will be tested the next few games as Berry might not be available for a stretch of the season.
