UNC women no longer alone at top
Posted Sep 21, 2006
Since they started winning national championships in 1981 with a numbing regularity, North Carolina's women's soccer program has been the sport's gold standard.

Now, as North Carolina prepares for top-ranked Florida State, it seems the Tar Heels have become a victim of their own success.
