Nov. 9, 2003 CARY, N.C. - Top-seeded North Carolina defeated second-seeded Florida State by a score of 3-2 at the SAS Soccer Complex in Cary, N.C., to win the 2003 Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Soccer Championship. 3687 fans were on hand to watch the Tar Heels win their 15th consecutive ACC women's soccer title. North Carolina improves its record to 21-0-0, while Florida State falls to 13-7-1 this season. In the seventh minute of the game, Florida State's Kelly Rowland scored her second goal of the Championship on an assist by India Trotter to put the Seminoles up 1-0 over the Tar Heels.
