Women's Soccer Suffers First Loss

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The No. 1 North Carolina women's soccer team lost its first match of the season Sunday afternoon, falling to No. 3 UCLA, 2-1, at Dorrance Field.

The Tar Heels (5-1) scored first but could not hold the lead as UCLA (5-0) scored twice in the final 30 minutes to end Carolina's five-game winning streak to start the season.

It was the first loss for the Tar Heels when leading a game since 2017. Carolina led UCF 1-0 before falling 2-1 in overtime.

"We were not displeased in our performance, I thought we played very well," UNC head coach Anson Dorrance said.
