“It was a matter of luck — or perhaps destiny — that led me down that path that day.” After being discovered by a scout while walking down the street in his hometown of Bamako, Mali, Sayon Keita has made it to Chapel Hill just six years later. #UNC dailytarheel.com/486522/spor…

Duke scored before half to knot it at 1 and then went ahead after a handball in a box gave the Blue Devils a penalty in the 49’. #UNC answers with 2 of their own to go ahead 3-2 with goals from Blum, her second of the night, and Izzy Stratton in the 71’ and ‘74. Dorrance is LIT

Sources: North Carolina has named veteran transfer Billy Edwards Jr. the team’s starter for the opener, and he’ll debut for the Tar Heels against TCU in Ireland. Edwards won a close battle with Miles O’Neill, a Texas A&M transfer who has familiarity with new OC Bobby Petrino.
