The Tar Heels, who ultimately lost a heart breaker, 39-34, went into the locker room trailing 36-7 at halftime.

Tempers flared in UNC and Wake Forest's scoreless tie

By Brandon Moree | September 14, 2012

North Carolina freshman midfielder Nyambi Jabang was only in the game against Wake Forest for two minutes, but that was more than enough time to get a feel for how intense the contest was. Jabang came in the game in the 76th minute and had to be taken out of the game less than two minutes later after taking a tough hit and suffering an injury. But as soon as he hit the ground the run of play slammed to a halt.

Field Hockey: UNC leads ODU 2-1 at halftime

By Daniel Wilco | September 14, 2012

The No. 1 North Carolina Field Hockey team leads No. 8 Old Dominion at halftime of the Tar Heels’ home opener. After a very frenzied start with both teams having short possessions, Old Dominion Sarah Breen broke the 0-0 tie with 21:02 on the clock, but the goal was quickly called back by the referees for a penalty. UNC quickly responded with 19:17 left in the half when sophomore back Samantha Travers scored off a pass from senior forward Katie Ardrey and senior midfielder Kelsey Kolojejchick on a penalty corner. ODU netted their first official goal at 17:07 during a penalty corner on a rebounded save put-back by Rosario Vilagra. With just under seven minutes left in the half, UNC Jaclyn Gaudioso Radvany scored off of a steal deep in ODU territory. Although Old Dominion has only allowed 10 shots per game, at the half the Tar Heels have already put five attempts on cage with eight total shots, and their fast-paced offense looks poised for even more in the second half.
