I have been critical of this team this year but tonight they make me eat some delicious crow. Not just because we beat dook but because they played a really good, smart, inspired game. And #14 (Manning) looks like a future star to me. Go Heels.

I’m starting a petition to move Lilliah Blum to the 10 position permanently. What an unbelievable effort from her tonight, she played like an All American. Two goals and a beautiful assist on the Bradley missile. Incredible individual performance amongst many of them tonight.

The announced attendance on tv of 6,700 made me wonder, since I didn’t think the stadium had that capacity, and a check on GoHeels lists 4,200 individual seats… there must’ve been a ton of SRO bodies around the concourse. Great atmosphere, regardless!

Wow 5 probable starters out against #2 Duke- NEVER count out a UNC team when their back is against the wall. Tonight felt like Blum’s coming‑out party. And Stratton… she didn’t start early in the year, stayed patient, kept working, and now she’s cashing in. Bradley misses almost all of last season with an injury, comes back this year, and makes a big impact when needed the most.

I love these stories. Great reminders that your path won’t always look perfect at the start. But if you keep your head down, stay committed, and trust your work, it has a way of turning out exactly how it should. With this mindset this will be an exciting team to watch.

Seriously that Shaela Bradley goal at the end was one of my favorite memories of UNC women’s soccer ever. It was so unexpected, it was so badass, and the absolute joy and elation the entire team went into was something out of a movie. One in a million moments like that are why I watch (and love) sports.

So many other incredible performances tonight…will have to discuss more later. It’s late but wow what a win.

I beg to differ.

dook is definitely #2.
Honestly, I was going to make a similar comment but didn’t want to downplay what we just did.

They’ve had a pretty light schedule. The Stanford win was good, but Stanford had over half of their starters out.

Dook is good but don’t think they’re #2.

They said 6791 attendance officially In the broadcast. The most ever in a home regular season game.

Honest to god, I told my buddy walking in that it was probably 2-0 to dook. But if Carolina scored first, there might be a game. At best, they would maybe tie. I did NOT see that coming.

At the 12 minute mark, it started to spit rain and UNC dropped into a mid block and I thought that was going to be a LONG 12 minutes to hold on. Then Shaela Brady: "I got this".
