Jordan Walker’s blast gave defending champion North Carolina a come-from-behind win over No. 1 seed Notre Dame, while Stephanie Rigamat’s header gave UCLA a 1-0 win over Portland in the other semifinal of the Women’s College Cup in San Jose, Calif. The Tar Heels will face the Bruins in the final at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3. Carolina will make its 18th appearance, in 19 years, in the championship. This is UCLA’s first appearance in the final. Notre Dame confused the defending champions by coming out in a 4-2-4 formation. UNC coach Anson Dorrance said in the post-game press conference that his team was prepared to play against Notre Dame’s usual 4-3-3 formation. That confusion, plus the slick field, gave the Irish the advantage for most of the first half. After Notre Dame scored, however, UNC slowly took control of the game. Flank midfielder Jena Kluegel and reserve forward Kim Patrick sparked the Heels to the win. Portland controlled the tempo early against UCLA, but Bruin substitutes Staci Duncan and Sarah-Gayle Swanson breathed life into the UCLA attack. Swanson missed a few golden opportunities in the first half. The West Coast teams played a much prettier game than Carolina and Notre Dame had. UCLA in particular was able to string passes together despite the damp surface and small confines of Spartan Stadium. Women’s College Cup First Semifinal Notre Dame 1 North Carolina 2.
