Carolina's women's soccer squad delivered a commanding 2‑0 win over Arkansas in their first road match of the season, securing the program's third consecutive shutout and its inaugural victory at Razorback Field.
The scoring opened early, as Summer Denigan converted a penalty in the 15th minute after Scottie Antonucci drew a foul. Just two minutes later, Lilliah Blum doubled the lead following a corner delivery from Antonucci, putting the Tar Heels firmly in control.
A Dominant Offensive Display
Carolina outshot Arkansas 19‑5, with eight of those attempts on goal, while the opposition managed only two shots on target. Goalkeeper Peyton Trayer turned in a career‑high two saves, preserving the clean sheet and underscoring the team's defensive stability.
The match also marked the return of Shaela Bradley, who stepped onto the pitch for the first time in more than a year after recovering from injury, logging 25 minutes of play and adding valuable depth to the lineup.
With the triumph, the Tar Heels improve to 3‑0 on the season and extend their all‑time edge over Arkansas to 6‑1. Notably, both Denigan and Blum have now scored in two consecutive appearances, highlighting their early‑season form.
