CARY, N.C. – Sophomores Alessia Russo and Taylor Otto each scored a pair of goals to spark the North Carolina women's soccer team offensively as the Tar Heels defeated Louisville 5-1 Saturday afternoon at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Heading into the game, both the Cardinals and the Tar Heels were undefeated in ACC play and neither team had allowed a goal in a conference match. But all that went out the window in the early stages of the match. After Louisville scored on a counter attack in the sixth minute, the Tar Heels answered with two goals just 3:20 apart in the 16th and 20th minutes en route to scoring the final five goals of the game.
