DURHAM, N.C. - The No. 2 North Carolina field hockey team rebounded from a halftime deficit to beat No. 5 Duke 2-1 Saturday afternoon at Williams Field. The victory kept the Tar Heels undefeated at 10-0 (2-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), while Duke fell to 7-2 (1-1 ACC).

UNC's win gives the Tar Heels one point in the 2004-05 Carlyle Cup race, the annual all-sports competition between Carolina and Duke. The Tar Heels lead 1.5-0 after wins this fall by field hockey and volleyball.

Both Carolina goals came in the second half after the Blue Devils led 1-0 at the break. With just under 30 minutes to play, junior Karen Mann tipped in a shot by senior Laura Douglas to tie the game. Senior Kelsey Keeran had the winner with 15 minutes on the clock when she tipped in Carey Fetting-Smith's shot on a penalty corner, one of just three in the game for UNC.

Duke's goal came seven minutes before halftime when Amy Stopford scored, assisted by Johanna Bischoff.
