Carolina took the lead in the 22nd minute with the redshirt freshman striker Allie Sentner It was his fifth goal of the NCAA Tournament, doubling within two minutes of the second half on a goal by Taglia de la Perta. Saturday saw him score in three consecutive games for Della Perta.
UNC then had to withstand a debilitating attack from the Irish who fired a total of 12 shots in the second half alone. By comparison, Carolina only allowed a total of 22 shots in her previous three NCAA Tournament games. But despite all of that offense, Notre Dame couldn’t find a way past Carolina goaltender Emmy Allen, who made three saves in the second half and six on the night. This is a career-best performance for a High Point redshirt freshman. Allen now has a total of 13 saves in his four games in the NCAA Tournament.
Carolina is currently 31-2 in NCAA quarterfinal games, 12-2 in its rounds since the tournament was expanded to 64 teams in 2001. Coincidentally, 2012 was the last time Carolina won a national championship.
Well, UNC is back in a relatively familiar place: Cary’s Wakemed Soccer Park. Waiting for Heels is a familiar opponent. Florida State, the #1 seed overall. The Tar Heels and Seminoles have already met him twice this season. Carolina won the regular season in Tallahassee, and Florida State won his UNC in Cary’s ACC championship. The next meeting, scheduled for December 2nd, will see the two teams face off in the College Cup for the first time since 2018. Florida State defeated UNC he 1-0 in the national championship that season.
