That female ref with the knee brace is doing absolutely everything to get NW back in this one. God I hope we don’t see her this season
Agree.
Why the yellow card on a Duke player not involved with the infraction that caused the APC for NW.

Matt has a hard time distinguishing Reese from Eliza.

Tar Heels 4th goal by Bruder on a PC. Absolute rocket! Are we surprised?

Is Imme De Leeux still hurt? If so, does anybody know when she will be ready to play?

I think we’re going to be seeing A LOT of upgraded penalty corners this season. Must have been an emphasis on the offseason to officials. NW and Duke had several. We’ve seen a couple in favor for Penn so far.

We used to rarely see them, and basically only if there was a hard foul within the 25.

Hi 3397Char, when you get a chance can you update the 2028 commits list by adding Camilla and any other player that just committed two days ago? Thanks.

We got Camilla Lutte!


i guess She was visiting last week :love:

major pick-up: UNC now has secured 3 of the 10 Max FH top 10!


all of the 2028 top 10 have now committed. 45 of the top 50 committed. So this was a really important, all chips in, recruitment to maintain our string of top 3 recruiting classes.

I would be surprised if EM, staff (maybe team as well for part of the game) did not scout Princeton too. After watching Princeton vs ODU - I am not as concerned. Princeton does move the ball well, especially for their first game. But ODU defensively is well below UNC… So we’ll see!

I hope Sofia carries the same confidence from the Penn game. Should be fun!

I think the 5 for 5 rule is forcing a lot of players to commit early in order to fill up a roster spot for next season. We know when April hits that is when a lot of seniors are going to let their coaches know whether or not they want to exercise their 5th year. This is one of the advantages of that rule IMO. A lot of high school players will not be able to hold out or sit out for an extended period of time like in the past as far as recruiting is concerned. Go Heels!

Someone stated that there were two recruits that committed to UNC on the same day? If so, Camilla is one then who is the other one?

I love this video. As we are know. This team does not like losing. They are young but they are very competitive.

We only find out when they or some recruiting website/social media chooses to post it. i highly doubt there are posters here who know the answer and just aren’t sharing.

Okay and thanks for the information. Getting 3 out of the top 10 for this class speaks volumes.

Princeton has 23 players listed on their roster. Eight are internationals, all from
England. All eight of them played against ODU. Seven started. Not a one is in her
first year. Several domestic players include Izzy Morgan, Olivia Caponiti, and
Molly Nye.

The Tigers return 10 players who started in post season games. Their staring defense
returns intact.

MaxFH gave Princeton the nod for the number one recruiting class of 2026, just
ahead of our Tar Heels.

Many of us saw the Tigers handle the ODU Monarch two days ago. Princeton knows to
expect a much different opponent today. The Tar Heel growth trajectory, one hopes,
is shaped like a hockey stick. We will know more after today's fixture.
Go Heels.

Thanks for the information. We knew that Princeton was a veteran team. This is why the are ranked number 2 now. Our team is the opposite of theirs in terms of being a lot younger as a team; however, our young women are fighters, they do not like to lose, and they know that each game that they play whether they win or lose is going to be a valuable learning experience to them moving forward which suggest these young players get it already after playing three games. Mark my word, they are going to get better and better as the seasons goes on. They are learning quickly, making the adjustments quickly and that is a very good sign IMO. These game is another opportunity for them to learn whether they win or lose. Go Heels!

We will need to make sure everyone inside the 25 has defensive pressure on them so Princeton can not rifle hard passes into the circle to create chaos. This looks to be their only game plan so far.

UNC has looked good. We needed Reese to finish that early look from Bruder. Looking pretty good otherwise. It does appear the indoor time for Bruder had paid off. I am still confused to why we are not looking to draw corners…

Nada from it. Looking for Grace again. Sofia on the back line looks good. We saw that for a few possessions against Penn.
