SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Playing the most storied program in women's soccer history, No. 12 Santa Clara women's soccer knocked-off No. 2 North Carolina in a thriller Friday night at Stevens Stadium.
The lone goal of the match came in the 62nd minute from freshman Kaile Halvorsen. Halvorsen stripped the ball from a defender just outside the box and dribbled in before beating the keeper to the near post to make it 1-0. It was her first collegiate goal.
With less than 30 seconds to go in regulation, the Tar Heels (5-1-1) looked like they tied the game off a rebound but after the line judge and referee convened, the goal was called back for offsides.
