North Carolina (4-1, 2-1 ACC) held a 1-0 lead until freshman midfielder Anneloes Knol tied the game for the ‘Hoos (3-3, 2-1 ACC) with two minutes remaining in the third quarter.

UNC’s Meredith Sholder scored the game winner with 8:19 remaining in the contest.

Knol’s goal was the first of her collegiate career. She is the first UVA freshman to score a goal this season.
