From topdrawersoccer.com (

"
Colorado (14-6-1) vs. North Carolina (13-3-2), 7 p.m.
The first of what should be many ACC vs. Pac-12 clashes, Colorado’s riding a four-game winning streak into Chapel Hill with the aim of securing a historic win against the Tar Heels. Brie Hooks has been heavily involved in that run, with a goal or assists in the last four games. The sophomore forward will have her hands full looking to crack a stout UNC defense.
Every NCAA game for UNC will feature the same question: who will score? They have plenty of players who can answer that, with Amber Munerlyn and Paige Nielsen supplying the goals in a straightforward first round win against South Dakota State. With 16 goals conceded in 21 games, the Buggaloes have a solid defense that has seen just one goal scored against them in the last five games. They’ll look to keep it tight and hit on the counter.
Prediction: Colorado 1, North Carolina 1 (UNC wins on PKs)
