WINSTON-SALEM — Striker Casey Nogueira recorded the UNC women’s soccer team’s third hat trick in the past four games in a 4-2 win against No. 16 Wake Forest on Sunday.
It was the second hat trick of Nogueira’s career, as she also had a three-goal performance on Sept. 20, 2007 in a 5-0 Tar Heel win against Ohio State.
The Tar Heels have 17 goals in four wins against ACC opponents.

The Tar Heel volleyball team fell to Duke 3-1 on Friday and in straight sets to Wake Forest on Saturday to drop to 2-2 in conference play and end a three-match winning streak.
And UNC coach Joe Sagula was not pleased with his team’s performance.
“We were just disappointed at some little things,” he said. “Simple passing mistakes, a whole lot of outside hitting errors — that killed us.”
