CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – On a humid and rainy Wednesday evening at Finley South Field, a second-minute goal from junior forward Cyera Hintzen and a dogged defensive effort, including a key penalty kick stop from junior goalkeeper Nicole Curry, helped lead No. 21 Texas soccer (1-0-1) to a 1-1 (2OT) draw at No. 4 North Carolina (2-0-1).
Curry was outstanding between the pipes for the Longhorns, making four vital saves, while Hintzen scored her second goal of the season just 1:10 into the contest to grant UT an early lead.
The Tarheels out-shot the Burnt Orange & White 20-9 overall and 6-5 in shots on goal, but Texas registered a 4-3 combined shot advantage during the two overtime periods.
