To do that, the Bruins will have to get past a talented North Carolina team led by a head coach who has won 21 NCAA women's soccer titles.
0-0 at half. Both sides pretty conservative in the first 45 min.
Dang, UNC gets a goal on a header from 6 yds out on a cross with 32 min left in the game.
BSPN "announcers" are deliriously happy.
Bruins with more consistent pressure now and possession in the attacking third. 23 min to go
UNC gets a yellow for a hard tackle from behind deep in UCLA's end. Correct call, but it's 90 yards from the UNC net and the ref isn't calling anything in our offensive half. 19 min to go
UNC with a dangerous shot from 16 yds out but right at the Bruins keeper.
Ugh. 0-2. A high looping header back to the near post on a long cross from the left. 15 min to go
BSPN already celebrating the championship for UNC.
Bruins with a corner to the near post followed by a hard shot off the clear that is just wide. 12 min to go
GOAL!!! Lexi Wright one times a loose ball that falls 8 yds out after the Bruins put a free kick into the box from about 40 yds out. 10 min to go.
Now 1-2. Come on, Bruins!!
UNC playing the clock with long clears and stalling the the play in the corners.
Last minute, everyone forward
UCLA corner with 30 secs
GOAL!!!!! With 16 seconds left!! Tie game 2-2!!!
Lilly Reale with the header near the goal line on that corner to tie it up!!!
BSPN announcers shocked and disappointed.
Correction, that was Reilyn Turner with the tying goal! (Bruins twitter misled me lol)
Overtime: Two 10 minute periods. No sudden death.
LFG, Bruins!!!
Great shot by Wright is just deflected wide by the keeper. Bruins corner... 2 min left in 1st OT
Another Bruin corner with 30 secs. Cleared and 1st OT ends, still at 2-2.
Road game for a NC. Ridiculous.
Bruins earn another corner. 6 min left in 2nd OT
And a second corner that is cleared off the line...Going to video review to see if it was in...
I think it was on the goal line but didn't cross completely.
Ruled no goal.
