PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - In their third game of the 2002 season, the North Carolina field hockey dropped 3-2 in overtime to the Louisville Cardinals.

The Tar Heels took an early lead in the second game of the day when sophomore Kerry Falgowski (Ladenberg, Pa./St. Marks) scored her second goal of the season off an assist from sophomore Laura Douglas in the first period. Falgowski continued to dominate, scoring an unassisted goal with 3:25 remaining in the half to give UNC a 2-0 lead.

With only 20 seconds remaining in the game, the Cardinals tied the score 2-2 as Hughes doled out another assist, this time to teammate Suzanne Irwin, to send the game into overtime.
