NORFOLK, Va. -- North Carolina (11-4) went on a 9-0 run to straddle halftime, holding Old Dominion scoreless for over 30 minutes, and cruised to a 19-7 women's lacrosse win at ODU on Wednesday afternoon. UNC held ODU scoreless for the last 14:12 of the first half and the first 16:18 of the second while scoring nine unanswered goals during that stretch.
Three Tar Heels had five or more points as Taylor poured in a seven-point effort with three goals and four assists. Julia Ryan (2 goals, 3 assists) and Donohoe (4 goals, 1 assist) also scored five points or more for UNC, which also got three goals and an assist from Meghan Clarke, two goals and an assist from Erica LaGrow and a goal and two assists from Megan Bosica.
The Tar Heels led by two goals at 6-4 after the first 15:48, but UNC would close the game on a 13-3 run, getting scores from 10 different players in the game.
Senior Kelly Kimener led the way for ODU, scoring a season-high four goals, the fourth of which put her among the top ten in program history with 79 career goals.
Ryan put the Tar Heels up within the first minute, but Kimener scored her first of the game off an assist by junior Jessica Noone to even the score. UNC would answer with three straight to go up 4-1, with three of the first four scores coming off Kristen Taylor assists.
The Lady Monarchs scored three of the next five goals to cut the lead to just two at 6-4 with 14:12 remaining in the half. Senior Kaelyn Schival scored on a free-position attempt and followed with an assist on fellow senior Sigrid Paulus' sixth goal of the season. Paulus would then follow her goal with an assist on a score by sophomore Ashley Kellogg less than a minute later.
UNC, though, would then start a 9-0 run against the Lady Monarchs, powered by its leading scorer, Donohoe. She scored three goals in the stretch, while Taylor added her fourth assist.
Down 11 with under 15 minutes to go, Kimener scored three straight unassisted goals for the Lady Monarchs. Her fourth goal of the game gave her 79 career goals, tying her for 10th all-time in the ODU record book.
Carolina scored four more with under five minutes to go in the second to seal the victory, 19-7.
The Tar Heels will return to action on Sunday, when they play their 2008 regular season finale at three-time defending NCAA champion Northwestern.
