By JOE VILLINSKI Assistant Sports Editor

It was supposed to be the game of the year. After all, it pitted Notre Dame and rival North Carolina against each other right in the middle of the season. In the preseason, it • was the matchup the soccer world believed would be an indicator of what might happen this weekend. All it did was demonstrate the Irish's urgent need to improve. Following the Tar Heels overpowering 2-0 victory, the women's soccer team found themselves in a tailspin heading into the lat­ ter part of the season. Since then, improvement has defined the second half of the season as the Irish have translated this adversity into sustained momentum, reeling off nine straight wins. It is this momentum the Irish believe will carry them past North Carolina tonight in the national semifinals and possibly further.
