A win against the Tar Heels early this season helped bolster the Bruins confidence in their title prospects under first-year head coach Margueritte Aozasa.

Everyone wants a national championship, but the UCLA women’s soccer team started seriously believing it could win one after going cross-country in September to upset then-No. 1 North Carolina, 2-1, a couple days after they’d also knocked off No. 2 Duke, 2-1.

“I just feel like those were obviously our first two big tests and and I just feel like that really showed us that,” said UCLA’s graduate goalkeeper Lauren Brzykcy, a first-team All-Pacific Region pick who’s allowed just 11 goals in 24 matches this season. North Carolina thrives on pressure and creating chaos and has outscored opponents 16-5 in five matches since the 64-team NCAA tournament began. This is College Cup No. 31 for the Tar Heels, who’ve won 21 of 40 national championships but none since 2012. Meanwhile, UCLA is playing in its sixth College Cup final and for its second championship.

Playing on what’s essentially the Tar Heels’ home turf shouldn’t be an obstacle, the Bruins insist. After all: Been there, done that.
