Leading Scorer Murphy Sidelined for Women's Soccer Match vs. Duke

University of North Carolina women's soccer forward Emily Murphy injured an ankle in practice this week and will not play in Friday evening's match of unbeatens against Duke.

UNC sports medicine staff continues to evaluate her injury. There is no timetable for her return.

"Obviously we are very disappointed for Emily and our team," says head coach Anson Dorrance. "She is a tremendous player, who has a dynamic personality and brings a creative flair to the game. We hope to get her back as soon as possible, but we don't know yet when that will be.
