UNC women's soccer back to title game

Posted Dec 2, 2006

Heather O'Reilly plopped down beside Casey Nogueira in the press tent at SAS Soccer Park and exhaled loudly. And while Nogueira offered little more than a smile, she had a lot to do with the improvement in O'Reilly's disposition. After nearly 2 hours of nip-and-tuck soccer, the freshman from Raleigh scored on a dramatic long-range kick in the 84th minute to snap a scoreless tie as the Tar Heels defeated UCLA 2-0 in the semifinals of the College Cup on Friday.
