It goes without saying that UNC women’s soccer had a fair amount of uncertainty surrounding the program when Anson Dorrance suddenly announced his retirement earlier this fall.

Fast forward to tonight, where UNC just took down Wake Forest for the second time this season to win the their 22nd NCAA championship, and 23rd overall national championship.
