The game-winning goal by Alyssa Rich was the second goal of Rich's young career and also her second game-winning goal. She had UNC's only goal in a 1-0 victory over Marquette on September 6.
The game marked the fifth straight meeting between the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils at Fetzer Field that either ended in a tie (0-0 in 2002) or was decided by a 2-1 margin with UNC winning games in 2004, 2007 and 2009 by that separation and Duke winning in 2005 by 2-1.
