| Missing two starters, including standout freshman Selma Sol Magnusdottir, Carolina never really going, as they picked up their first loss of the season against #16 N.C. State 2-1. Though the teams were scoreless through the first 45 minutes, Carolina was clearly on its heels as the Wolfpack outshot USC 11-0. With that kind of disparity it was only a matter of time before State broke through, and USC gave up its first goal of the year at the 49:17 mark, as Tziarra King scored off a pass from close range. State added another goal 13 minutes later, and only a late goal by redshirt freshman Claire Griffits kept the Gamecocks from being shut out. Both Elexa Bahr and Luciana Zullo had near misses for USC earlier. The next game will be Thursday night at home against William and Mary. |
