CHARLESTON, S.C. – The University of North Carolina women’s soccer team will advance to the ACC championship game for the first time since 2009 after defeating top-seeded (#6 nationally) Notre Dame Friday 2-1 at MUSC Health Stadium in the 2016 Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament semifinals.
Annie Kingman scored the game-winning goal in the 86th minute of play to lift the Tar Heels (13-3-3) past its third top-10 opponent in nine days. Carolina has now won five straight games, the team’s longest streak since a seven-game streak was halted against Louisville on Oct. 8, 2015. The Fighting Irish fell to 13-3-4 with the loss.
