Friday's Other Game CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - Second-seeded Wake Forest edged third-seeded North Carolina 3-2 in overtime Friday in an Atlantic Coast Conference Field Hockey Championship semifinal game. The win put Wake Forest (16-3) in Sunday's championship game against the winner of Friday's second semifinal matchup between top-seeded Maryland and fourth-seeded Virginia. Sophomore Lucy Shaw scored on Wake"s second penalty corner of the sudden-death overtime period to give her team the win. Juniors Heather Aughinbaugh and Maria Whitehead assisted on the play. "This was a tremendous battle between two fantastic teams," Demon Deacon coach Jennifer Averill said. "I was proud of our kids for capitalizing on the corner in overtime."
The game was scoreless through the first half, when Wake Forest took
seven shots on goal to UNC's three. Wake Forest senior Jennie Shelton
put her team on the board with a goal less than five minutes into the
second half. The Demon Deacons added to the advantage five minutes
later, scoring on a penalty corner, when sophomore Kelly Doton's
straight shot was deflected up and into the goal off a Tar Heel player.
Carolina freshman Kerry Falgowski scored for the Tar Heels with 15:50
left to play, putting back the rebound off a save by Wake Forest
goalkeeper Katie Ridd. The Tar Heels tied the game with 5:04 remaining
in regulation when senior Abby Martin scored on a penalty corner option,
assisted by freshman Carey Fetting-Smith.
Wake Forest has won all three of its overtime contests this season, while North Carolina (14-5) has lost all three of its extra-period games. The Demon Deacons have beaten the Tar Heels three times this season. Wake Forest is ranked No. 3 in the national coaches' poll, while North Carolina is No. 4.
