WINSTON-SALEM — For a moment Friday, however brief, the North Carolina field hockey team found itself in a situation it hadn't been in for quite some time.

Entering their NCAA semifinal showdown against Boston College, the top-ranked Tar Heels had trailed in six games this season, but only once had they trailed by a score other than 1-0. That was back on Sept. 6, when they rallied from a 3-1 deficit to beat Princeton in the third game of the season.

In Friday's 6-3 win at Wake Forest's Kentner Stadium, UNC once again fell behind 1-0, only to tie the score six minutes later.
