CARY, N.C. (AP) — Kelsey Turnbow scored the go-ahead goal and Santa Clara advanced to the College Cup championship game with a 3-1 victory over second-seeded North Carolina on Thursday night.
Santa Clara, the No. 11 seed, will face top-seeded Florida State on Monday. The Seminoles advanced to the College Cup final on penalties after a scoreless draw with Virginia in the earlier match Thursday.
Although North Carolina dominated the opening half, Santa Clara’s Izzy D’Aquila scored in the 20th minute. It was the first goal the Tar Heels had conceded since the fall — a stretch of 694 minutes.
