Box Score

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – No. 3 North Carolina women's soccer senior co-captain Avery Patterson scored her fifth goal of the season before Wake Forest found the equalizer, as the Tar Heels and Demon Deacons ended in a 1-1 draw on Friday night at Spry Stadium in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The Tar Heels are now 9-0-6 on the year, including 4-0-3 in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The Demon Deacons move to 8-2-4 overall and 2-2-3 in league action.

How It Happened

Ally Sentnor had three of UNC's four shots during the opening 45 minutes of play with two landing on target, which were both ultimately denied by Wake Forest's keeper.
The home team had an opportunity with two minutes left on the clock in the first half, but Emmie Allen was there for the save as both teams ended the first half locked at zero apiece.
UNC got on the board in the 59th minute during the second phase of a Sentnor corner kick when Emily Moxley sent a pass over the top to find Patterson inside the box. With no defender around, Patterson won her 1v1 battle with Wake's goalkeeper, sending a left-footed shot to the lower right.
The Demon Deacons found the equalizer in the 78th minute as the in-state rivals settled for a 1-1 tie and one point in ACC play.
