While most students were moving in last weekend, North Carolina’s men’s and women’s soccer teams were busy starting their respective seasons — and busy winning.
The men’s team opened up action at Fetzer Field on Friday with a 2-1 exhibition win against Georgetown, trying to validate their preseason No. 2 national ranking. Bill Dworsky and freshman Enzo Martinez both scored.
The women’s team launched their national title defense in impressive fashion by downing No. 3 UCLA 7-2.
Last season’s leading scorer Casey Nogueira chipped in two goals in the game, and it’s hard to imagine a more emphatic start to UNC’s season, especially given senior midfielder Tobin Heath’s opening goal, which came just 41 seconds into the match.
Also adding to the scoring barrage were Courtney Jones, Katie Klimczak, Ali Hawkins, and Emmalie Pfankuch.
