Third time’s the charm for North Carolina.
After BC knocked the Tar Heels out of the last two national tournaments, North Carolina finally got its revenge on the third try, beating the Eagles, 12-11. The Tar Heels are national champions for the third time since 2013. They also complete the undefeated season, finishing 22-0.
It just didn’t always look so certain.
Boston College took momentum back from North Carolina in the third quarter. NCAA all-time leading scorer Charlotte North, who finished the afternoon with four goals, led the Eagles back from a 7-5 deficit to get BC its first lead of the game at 8-7.
What a goal by Ally Mastroianni to tie the game up late in the 3rd!
