Three of the four quarterfinals in the NCAA Women’s Soccer Tournament were played Friday, and each winner on the day is making a repeat trip to the College Cup.

Stanford, Notre Dame and North Carolina were all in last year’s event, won by the Tar Heels. Portland plays at UCLA Saturday in the final quarterfinal matchup for this year. If the Bruins win then the College Cup will be a complete repeat of last year’s event. TopDrawerSoccer.com will be at next weekend’s College Cup in College Station, TX, covering all three matches and the pre-event press conferences on Thursday.

Following are brief details of Friday’s games. Full match reports are available from the College Articles page.

North Carolina 5, Wake Forest 2
Casey Nogueira bagged a hat trick and Courtney Jones and Meghan Klingenberg added one goal each as the Tar Heels return to the College Cup. Sarah Winslow and Kaley Fountain scored once each for Wake Forest.

Notre Dame 2, Florida State 0
Melissa Henderson and Haley Ford scored a minute apart to lift the Fighting Irish past the Seminoles and into the College Cup for a rematch of last year’s national title game.

Stanford 3, Boston College 1
This game started with a bang as Boston College’s Julia Bouchelle scored in the opening minute, but Kelley O’Hara answered immediately with a goal for Stanford. O’Hara added another tally in the 26th minute, and TDS co-player of the season (with O’Hara) Christen Press killed the match off with an 84th-minute strike. Paul Ratcliffe’s Cardinal improve to 23-0-0 with the win.
