CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – For the second consecutive game, the Colorado soccer team will face a UNC in the NCAA Tournament. This time around it is the top-seeded North Carolina Tar Heels.
Colorado (12-7-2) and North Carolina (20-1-1) will play a second-round NCAA Tournament match for the third time in the last six seasons. The two teams previously played in 2014 and 2017, both 1-0 matches in favor of North Carolina.
Six current Buffs played in the 2017 tournament. Senior Jalen Tompkins, then a sophomore, made seven saves in the match. Bridgette Andrzejewski, now a senior, scored the only goal of the match in the 26th minute.
"A lot of our players have been there in the past," head coach Danny Sanchez commented. "We have had a couple of 1-0 results at their place. I don't think the moment is going to be too big for us. We play a lot of great teams in our league."
The Buffaloes hope to carry over the strong offensive showing they displayed against Northern Colorado. CU had six different players score goals in the win against the Bears, including first-career goals from freshmen Jade Babcock-Chi and Kyla Ferry. The Buffs 18 points against Northern Colorado was the most in an NCAA Tournament games and tied for the fifth-most in program history.
"We are excited to get out there," Sanchez added. "They have a brand-new facility. It will be a great crowd. This is why we play [to get to the tournament]. UNC has a great team, but we have a great team as well. We are excited about the opportunity. We are getting healthy and players are stepping into their roles and performing."
The Buffs' first-round win lifted CU's all-time NCAA Tournament record to an even .500 (10-10-1). Colorado has twice made it to the Sweet Sixteen with the team's last appearance coming in 2013.
"We're ready," senior Stephanie Zuniga stated. "At this point, we're going to go in there play our game, have fun and play our hearts out. It's going to be such a good atmosphere and like I said, energy and atmosphere is everything. Although it's home for them, it's going to be fun. It's going to be exciting and we're ready to just go and have fun and make it happen."
The Tar Heels had a five-goal output in their first-round match against Belmont. North Carolina outshout Bruins a staggering 44-0. 19 of UNC's shots were on target. The Tar Heels have now advanced past the first round in 38 consecutive seasons.
Seven Tar Hell players have recorded at least 10 points this season. Brianna Pinto leads the team with 24 points (10 g, 4 a). Alessia Russo is the team's top goal-scorer, boasting 11 goals this season. Andrzejewski rounds out the top-three scorers with 18 points ( 6 g, 6 a).
Colorado is 0-5-0 all-time against North Carolina. The two teams first met when the Tar Heels traveled to Boulder in 1998.
Friday's game will be broadcast on ACC Network Extra at 4 p.m. MT. The winner will move on in the tournament and face either Michigan or Texas Tech on Sunday.

Live video - Match is being shown live on ACC Network Extra (ACCN X). For those whose Cable/ Satellite/ Cord Cutting subscription includes access to that streaming service (Assume maybe through getting the main ACC Network?), assume the match will be streamable at https://www.espn.com/watch?id=28baf757-c9cf-40cb-bf21-a3285793dd86 . (I assume there's a more direct link than this, but couldn't find it yet via a very quick search. Selfishly, looks like I'm set up fine as the match is already showing up as a selection I'll be able to watch live on my TV through the Sling service/ app (with the sports package,although it is a bummer no ESPN content seems to allows recording in Sling).)
