AUSTIN, Texas – Six different players scored a goal for No. 1 North Carolina on Sunday as the Tar Heels defeated Baylor, 6-0, at Mike Myers Stadium on the campus of the University of Texas.
Junior Avery Patterson scored her fourth goal of the season, sophomore Emily Murphy her second, with junior Sam Meza and sophomore Emily Colton netting their first goals of the year. Freshmen Tori Dellaperuta and Kate Faasse each scored the first goal of her career.
After a goalless first half Thursday against Texas, the Tar Heels (4-0-0) scored three goals in the opening half Sunday and then added three more after halftime.
