UNC 1, UNC Wilmington 1

Freshman defender Rebecca McBride scored a first-half goal as UNC-Wilmington tied North Carolina 1-1 in a college women's soccer exhibition Monday night at the UNCW Soccer Stadium.

The Tar Heels, ranked sixth nationally by Soccer Buzz magazine, outshot the Seahawks by a commanding 15-5 margin, but couldn't notch the go-ahead goal in the first appearance of the 2006-07 season for both clubs.

McBride put the Seahawks on top, 1-0, at 26:16 when she headed in a free kick from the midfield area. UNC answered less than three minutes later, as freshman midfielder Whitney Engen headed in a Yael Averbuch's corner kick.
