No. 2 UNC Picks Up 2-1 Win At Duke
Freshman Kelsey Kolojejchick's goal with less than five minutes on the clock gave the second-ranked North Carolina field hockey team a 2-1 win at No. 14 Duke Sunday afternoon. Although the Tar Heels saw their streak of nine shutouts come to an end, they preserved their unbeaten season and improved to 13-0 on the year. Duke fell to 6-7 overall.

The game did not count toward the conference standings, as the teams' meeting in Chapel Hill on Sept. 26 was the designated Atlantic Coast Conference matchup for this season. With the win, the Tar Heels managed to hold onto the Carlyle Cup point gained in the season's first meeting.

Duke's goal, which came in the 20th minute, was just the third the Tar Heels have allowed this season and the first since a 4-1 win over Wake Forest on Sept. 4. The nine shutouts since then, including a 7-0 ACC win over Duke last month, had tied the conference record for consecutive shutouts.

Sophomore Michelle Vittese scored the game-winning goal on a penalty stroke in overtime to give the third-ranked Virginia field hockey team (13-1) a 3-2 win over No. 4 Wake Forest (8-4). The Cavaliers came from behind to win in front of a season-high 502 fans at the University Hall Turf Field.

The win over the Demon Deacons was the first for Virginia since 1998, as Wake had claimed the previous 14 meetings between the two teams.

After trailing 2-1 in the second half, Virginia's Inga Stöckel tied the game at two in the 61st minute, converting on a penalty corner. Teammates Traci Ragukas and Charlotte van den Broek assisted on the play.
