NORFOLK, VA -- The fourth ranked Tar Heels completed the season sweep of the home-and-home series against the Lady Monarch field hockey team by scoring three unanswered goals in the second half en route to a 4-2 victory over #12 Old Dominion.
The Lady Monarchs, in the midst of a five-game losing streak, fall to 10-9 overall. The nine losses are the most since the 1995 season when Old Dominion finished the year 16-9. North Carolina, who back in September took the first game in the series with a 4-0 shutout in Chapel Hill, improved to 15-4 overall.
The game was evenly matched in the first half with each team posting a goal before halftime. The Tar Heels struck first at 19:21 as junior midfielder Laura Douglas put away the first of her two goals on the afternoon. However just over a minute later, Lady Monarch leading scorer, senior midfielder Angie Loy (Loysville, PA), reached the back of the Tar Heel cage to tie the score at 1-1. Loy's goal, her 17th of the year, moved her into a tie for seventh with Jill Fisher (1985-88) in career goals at Old Dominion with 70 career tallies.
Old Dominion struck again seven minutes into the second half to take a 2-1 lead. After the Lady Monarchs failed to score on a penalty corner opportunity, Loy controlled the ball away from the North Carolina defense to feed it to sophomore midfielder Chilly Banuelos (Escondido, CA) to give the Lady Monarchs its only lead of the game.
The Lady Monarch defense held North Carolina away from the cage until 19:11 remaining in the game as the Tar Heels went on to score three unanswered goals. Sophomore forward Karen Mann tied the game at 2-2 as she collected her own rebound off Old Dominion keeper Tina Walker (Suffolk, VA). With 16:00 left, junior forward Kerry Falgowki passed the ball from the top the circle to Douglas for her second tally of the game and the eventual game-winner. Rookie midfielder Brooke Miller then added in an insurance goal for North Carolina with just over seven minutes remaining on a breakaway.
The Lady Monarchs were outshot, 14-6. The Tar Heel defense kept Old Dominion to just three shots in the second half as North Carolina launched eight shots of its own in the second stanza. Both squads had five penalty corners.
Senior Tina Walker provided Old Dominion with six saves in net. The Tar Heel's Amy Tran posted three saves.
Old Dominion closes out the regular season on Sunday, November 2, when they host #8 Princeton at 1:00 p.m. The Lady Monarch seniors will be honored prior to the start of the game.
