They’re back.
The North Carolina Tar Heels will play for a 23rd National Championship on Sunday night in San Jose, CA after defeating a feisty Washington State Cougars squad in the national semifinal Friday night. This is what Carolina wanted, what they played for all year, what they have been starving for ever since the shattering title game loss for Florida State in Cary last season.
Playing on a wet and slippery Bay Area field, and doing so without star midfielder and Hermann Trophy finalist Emily Fox, UNC fell behind early when the Cougars scored in the 7th minute of play through their goal-scoring star Morgan Weaver, who finished the season with 15 goals.
