SPRING, TEXAS - Goals by senior forward Meredith Florance and sophomore forward Kim Patrick in the first half proved to be the difference as top-ranked North Carolina defeated 18th-ranked Southern Methodist 2-0 in women's soccer action Sunday afternoon at the adidas College Classic at Meyer Park.
The win was North Carolina's second in a row after the Tar Heels had seen their 24-match winning streak broken last Wednesday at Clemson. The Heels got on the board in the 10th minute of play when Patrick fed a through ball to Florance who scored the game winner past SMU goalkeeper Becca Lief. The Heels added to the lead in the 30th minute when Patrick scored the insurance goal, assisted on the play by senior defender Kalli Kamholz.
The Tar Heels improved to 8-1 on the season with the win. SMU fell to 5-2 with the loss. UNC outshot the Mustangs 16-7. Lief made seven saves in the game to keep the Mustangs close. UNC junior goalkeeper Kristin DePlatchett posted her third solo shutout in the last eight days of play as she made three saves.
Carolina will next be in action next Friday when the Tar Heels play William & Mary at 5 p.m. in the Duke adidas Classic at Koskinen Stadium in Durham, N.C.
