CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – It was a historic night at Fetzer Field Sunday as goals by Ru Mucherera and Dorian Bailey rallied the #15 North Carolina women’s soccer team past Wake Forest 2-1 and in the process presented UNC head coach Anson Dorrance with his 800th career win as an NCAA Division I women’s soccer coach.
Even in the pregame it was sure to be a historic night all-around as the game marked the 900th contest in the program’s tenure dating back to the 1979 season. Dorrance has coached UNC in all 900 of those games and the win over the Demon Deacons gives him a career record of 800 victories, 65 losses and 35 draws.
