North Carolina senior forward Heather O'Reilly scored a pair of goals to power the fourth-ranked North Carolina women's soccer team to a 2-1 victory over top-ranked Florida State Thursday night at Fetzer Field. O'Reilly scored the opening goal of the match on a brilliant 28-yard strike in the opening half and then broke a 1-1 tie in the 84th minute by bending a ball past FSU goalkeeper Ali Mims for the game-winner.
