North Carolina women's soccer relying on young stars in title defense

Posted Aug 22, 2007

On a field against Notre Dame under threatening skies, the new season for UNC began in the same manner the previous season ended. It's fitting that the Tar Heels took the field against an opponent for the first time as defending champions versus the Fighting Irish on Aug. 19, even if the game was an unofficial scrimmage, because there is a distinctly familiar quality to a team that returns nine starters from last year's national title game.
