Pinto’s Moment Of Brilliance Sends Tar Heels Past Tigers

DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore scored her team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 71 minute Thursday as the top-ranked University of North Carolina women's soccer team edged LSU 1-0 at Koskinen Stadium in the first game of the 2019 Duke Nike Classic.

The game was played on a slippery field with plenty of rain falling throughout as Hurricane Dorian began its assault on North Carolina Thursday afternoon. UNC improved to 5-0 with the victory while the defending Southeastern Conference Tournament champion Tigers fell to 2-2-1 on the campaign. The shutout was the 600 for the Tar Heels in school history in 966 all-time games.
