The 6-0 Carolina run took just 3:07 of game time and blew open a 1-1 tie into a 7-1 Tar Heel advantage less than halfway through the first quarter. Impressively, none of the six UNC goals came from top scorer Chloe Humphrey: Darcy Felter, Eva Ingrilli, Eliza Osburn and Addison Pattillo each found the back of the net during the run.
Humphrey would get hers in due time though, posting a hat trick by halftime and scoring twice more in the second half to end the evening with five goals. Her four assists gave her a team-best nine points. Humphrey has scored no fewer than four goals in each of her last eight games and now has 88 in total through 16 games this season.
Carolina’s relatively comfortable victory stood in stark contrast to its first meeting with the Orange this season, in which Syracuse led 6-5 at halftime and tied the game at 8-8 early in the fourth quarter. UNC eventually won, 13-9.
This latest encounter saw the Orange get within no closer than five goals after UNC’s initial surge, and the Tar Heels’ final advantage of 10 was their largest of the game. Carolina is now 15-1 on the season, having won six consecutive games. Between regular season and tournament play, the Tar Heels are 12-0 against ACC opponents. UNC will vie for its second consecutive ACC Tournament title in the championship game Sunday against either No. 3 seed Clemson or No. 2 Stanford. The game is scheduled for 12 p.m.
