CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The North Carolina women's soccer team eased its way into the second round of the 2004 NCAA Women's College Cup Thursday afternoon with a 6-0 victory over Atlantic Sun Conference champion Campbell University before a crowd of 1,144 at Fetzer Field. Senior forward Anne Morrell and sophomore midfielder Elizabeth Guess each scored two goals for the Tar Heels and senior midfielder Mary McDowell came off the bench to add a goal and an assist for Carolina.
The Tar Heels advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and they will play host Saturday at 4 p.m. to the College of William & Mary which rallied past Virginia Tech 2-1 in the second first-round game at Fetzer Field on Thursday night.
North Carolina, the tournament's No. 1 seed, improved to 19-0-2 on the season with the win over the Camels in the first-ever meeting between the two teams. The Tar Heels are now unbeaten in their last 48 matches over the past two seasons. Campbell, which came into the match with an unbeaten string of 17 matches of its own, saw it 2004 campaign end with a 12-2-7 record.
The Tar Heels got on the board less than five minutes into the match when Anne Morrell finished a nifty passing combination for a goal at the 4:50 mark. Kacey White passed the ball to Jaime Gilbert in the right side of the penalty area and Gilbert's cross to the far left post was one-timed into the goal by Morrell for her fifth goal of the season. Just over 10 minutes later, Morrell added to the Tar Heel lead as she gathered in a clearance off a UNC corner kick and rifled a precision-like bullet of a shot just inside the left post past Campbell goalkeeper Erin Switalski.
At the 27:30 mark of the match, Carolina was awarded a free kick about 35 yards from the goal and Lori Chalupny's strike hit the wall and went to Mary McDowell who finished off the scoring opportunity for her second goal of the season and first since the season opener against Nebraska. The Tar Heels made the score 4-0 less than six minutes before halftime as Elizabeth Guess went one-v-one with Switalski after receiving passes from Kacey White and Julie Yates.
Nursing a 4-0 halftime advantage, the Tar Heels went on to add to their lead with two second half goals. Guess scored her second straight goal, and fifth of the season, as she took on three Campbell defenders in the left side of the box and threaded a shot that went into the right side netting to increase the UNC lead to 5-0. The Tar Heels finished off the scoring in the final minute of play on a goal by UNC's Leea Murphy, her second of the year, on a breakaway. Murphy received a pass from McDowell and motored toward the Camel goal where she beat Switalski and then slotted the ball neatly inside the right post.
UNC finished with a 29-4 advantage in shots and had 11 corner kicks to three for the Camels. Switalski made eight saves for Campbell while neither UNC goalkeeper was forced to make a save. Each squad recorded one team save.
