This, by no means, was just another game, and Anson Dorrance wasn't going to treat it as such.
Almost a year has passed since the North Carolina women's soccer team fell to Florida State in the 2018 ACC Tournament final. Even now, that 3-2 loss still stings.

Only a national title will likely alleviate the pain the Tar Heels have experienced since then.
