Bella Gaetino opened the scoring less than five minutes in, sending a shot in off the crossbar to give UNC its first goal of the 2025 season. Despite the Tar Heels holding a decisive advantage in possession, the score remained 1-0 until midway through the second half.
Linda Ullmark opened the floodgates in the 64th minute, tapping home a cross from Kate Faasse to double the lead. Rutgers transfer Shaela Bradley added on five minutes later, converting a rebound off a save from the Siena goalkeeper on Olivia Thomas. Thomas wouldn’t be denied for long, sending a rocket into the roof of the Siena net off a direct free kick for her first goal of 2025.
