Third-seeded North Carolina entered the game as the lower seed for just the third time in Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Soccer Championship history, but showed it is still the team to beat as the Tar Heels defeated top seed Florida State, 3-0, Sunday afternoon in the ACC Championship title game at WakeMed Soccer Park.
Top-seeded Maryland scored three unanswered goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to beat third-seeded Virginia, 3-2, in the 2009 Atlantic Coast Conference Field Hockey Championship at the University of Virginia Turf Field in Charlottesville, Va. The league title is the second straight for the Terrapins and eighth overall.
