Tar Heels Nip Blue Devils, 9-7, To Clinch ACC Tournament No. 2 Seed
Megan Bosica and Kristen Taylor scored late goals in a span of less than two minutes late in the game as fourth-ranked North Carolina beat sixth-ranked Duke, 9-7, on Friday night at Koskinen Stadium in Durham.

With the win, Carolina improves to 12-3 this season, 4-1 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and clinches the No. 2 seed in next weekend's ACC Tournament in Blacksburg, Va. Duke falls to 10-4, 3-2. As the No. 2 seed, UNC will receive a bye to the semifinals of the conference tournament.

The win was worth one point for UNC in the 2008-09 standings for the Carlyle Cup, the annual multisport competition between Carolina and Duke. The Tar Heels hold a 12.5 to 8.5 lead in the standings after Friday's win.
