A soldout standing room-only crowd of more than 3,000 fans on hand at the new Alumni Stadium Friday night, hoping to the 2nd ranked Irish women's soccer team get its revenge on top ranked North Carolina in a rematch of last year's national championship game, won by the Tar Heels.

It didn't happen.

Jessica McDonald had two goals and an assist, while Casey Nogueira added a goal and an assist for North Carolina en route to a 6-0 win over the Irish.

The defeat snaps Notre Dame's 30-game regular-season winning streak, 27-game home winning streak and 54-game goalscoring streak in the first women's soccer match every played in the new Stadium.

“It’s disappointing to come out and play like we did, especially when we had such an amazing crowd on the first night in this wonderful new stadium,” Fighting Irish head coach Randy Waldrum said.

“We made some mistakes early on and you just can’t do that against a team as good as Carolina. Heck, if they had made those same mistakes against us, we probably would have been up 2-0 in the first few minutes."

A number of Notre Dame men's basketball players were on hand, including All-American Luke Harangody.

Some women's hoops stars weren't so lucky. Melissa Lechlitner and Brittany Mallory watched the first half from outside the gates, only getting glimpses of UNC goals.

The Fighting Irish will return to the pitch Sunday at 1:30 p.m. (ET) when they play host to Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Alumni Stadium to close out the second day of action of the 2009 Inn at Saint Mary’s Soccer Classic. Marquette and North Carolina will play at 11:30am.
