Coming off an emotional victory against Duke on Thursday, the No. 2 UNC women's soccer team came out flat against UCF in the Tar Heels' 2-1 victory Sunday (Highlights). Coach Anson Dorrance hoped to hold star midfielder Sam Meza out of the game, but that plan, which he called “a huge mistake,” got booted away 18 minutes into the match. (Tar Heel Tribune)
