#3 North Carolina used used its depth to help wear down Syracuse and the Tar Heels emerged with a 6-1 triumph in Chapel Hill, N.C.
The Tar Heels finished with a 42-3 advantage in shots and a 15-0 margin on corner kicks in the triumph.
VANDERBOSCHÂ POSTS DOUBLE-DIGIT SAVES AGAIN
Syracuse goalkeeper Shea Vanderbosch had 13 saves in the contest. It marked the fifth time Vanderbosch had 10-or-more saves in a game this season. She's made double-digit stops for the fifth time in the last eight matches.
Vanderbosch has already reached the second-highest season save total (124) in Syracuse history. She is 14 shy of the school record set by Katie Karlander of 138 set in 2000.
TIGHT FIRST HALF
The Orange played even with North Carolina in the early going, thanks in part to some big saves by Vanderbosch. She was tested first by Emily Moxley just 2:28 into the contest but managed to extend and deflect the ball over the net. She made five more saves before the Tar Heels broke through at 34:07 into the opening half. Maycee Bell scored her first goal of the campaign, with an assist to Maddie Dahlien, to provide North Carolina with a 1-0 advantage.
North Carolina struck again quickly on Bella Sember's goal just four-and-a-half minutes later. Tessa Dellarose earned the assist. The Orange held off the Tar Heels for the rest of the period.
UNC STARTS FAST AFTER THE BREAK
North Carolina went to work promptly following the intermission. A little over two minutes into the second half, Sam Meza scored off an assist from Ally Sentnor to increase the margin to 3-0.
Following 27 minutes of scoreless play, Syracuse got on the board. Top scorer Erin Flurey carried the ball wide and then cut inside before driving a shot in the Tar Heel goal. It was Flurey's sixth goal of the Fall.Â
North Carolina closed out the contest with three goals in a span of 10 minutes. Avery Patterson scored her eighth and ninth goals of the year, and Melina Rebimbas added the final marker.
NOTABLE NUMBERS:
