Many UNC women’s soccer players kneel during national anthem before decisive opening-game victory
Posted Sep 17, 2020
UNC’s women’s soccer season started just like most of Coach Anson Dorrance’s previous 43 seasons — with a victory. Before the Tar Heels’ 4–1 victory over Wake Forest in Chapel Hill, the majority of the team knelt during the national anthem and there was a moment of silence in support of social justice efforts. “Black lives do matter,” Dorrance said.
