Carolina Wins Another National Championship

It what is almost an annual tradition, UNC's women's soccer team won it's 19th national championship, defeating Notre Dame 2-1 behind a pair of Casey Nogueira goals. Carolina is such a mainstay in the title game that it was their fifth championship victory over Notre Dame - the Heels also beat them for the title in 1994, 1996, 1999, and 2006.

It was Notre Dame's only loss of the year, while UNC finished 25-1-2. It was also Casey Nogueria's second and third goals in a national championship game, as she scored one in 2006 against, you guessed it, Notre Dame.
