Juniors Alex Reed and Hayley Brock scored and the Terrapin defense held strong in the University of Maryland women’s soccer team’s 2-1 victory over No. 6 North Carolina Thursday night at Ludwig Field.
The victory for the Terps is the third straight over the Tar Heels and marks the first-time ever that UNC has lost three consecutive games to the same opponent in three successive seasons. The only other team Carolina has lost three consecutive games to was Santa Clara in 1999, 2000 and 2002.
Maryland improves to 5-2-1 overall and is 1-0-0 in conference play. The victory is also the first win in an ACC opener for the Terps since 2001. UNC falls to 4-2-1 on the year and 0-1-0 in ACC play.
“I’m so proud of how our team responded from last Sunday,” said Maryland head coach Jonathan Morgan. “The Fordham game was a dagger to our heart. It would have been very easy for our kids to feel sorry for themselves and lack confidence going into this game versus UNC. Instead, our team rolled up their sleeves and got to work this week. They had a great energy and focus for tonight’s game. It’s great to see the girls be rewarded for their hard work.” from umterps.com
