UNC women’s soccer team two weeks out from home opener

The UNC women’s soccer team, which lost a 3-2 heartbreaker in last year’s NCAA title game, is just two weeks away from its season opener.

Is this the year UNC’s women’s soccer team will finally break through and win their 22nd national championship?

The Heels, unarguably the greatest collegiate program of all-time, hasn’t won a national championship since 2012. They’ve come awfully close in recent years – last year should’ve been number 22. The Heels led 2-0 entering the 80th minute of play, then UCLA scored two goals to tie things up. The Bruins crushed UNC’s hopes with a second-overtime winner.

Good news for Heels fans – the season starts exactly two weeks from today. Tickets are now on sale – season tickets starts at $64 dollars, while tickets for the Sunday, Aug. 20 opener against California start at $8.

Expectations are high for Carolina – they return a pair of double-digit goal scorers in senior Avery Patterson (13) and Ally Sentnor (10). Goalkeeper Emmie Allen, entering her redshirt sophomore season, saved 70 shots and allowed just 17 goals across 26 starts.

Though Florida State is being picked to win the ACC by Soccerwire.com, there, it’s really anyone’s conference.
