Women's Soccer Starts Road Trip
The top-ranked North Carolina women's soccer team hits the road this week with three games in five days.
UNC will meet 16th-ranked Tennessee (4-2) at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Tennessee Soccer Complex in Knoxville, Tenn. One of Tennessee's top players is junior striker Kim Patrick, who played on UNC's NCAA championship teams in 1999 and 2000.
Patrick transferred to Tennessee after last season with the blessing of the Tar Heel program so she could be in an environment where she could get more playing time.
After playing at Tennessee, UNC will continue its road trip Friday by meeting Auburn and Alabama-Birmingham.
