Sunday Soccer: A South Bayan & a Bruin
At 11 a.m. Sunday in the NCAA Tournament final North Carolina (24-1-2) plays Notre Dame (26-0) with the Palos Verdes Peninsula's Whitney Engen in command of the defense for the Tar Heels.
(BTW, how can you write an entire story about Engen and not quote her?).
Then, UCLA's scoring sensation Sydney Leroux (four goals, two assists) and the rest of the U.S. Under-20 Women's World Cup team play in the final of the FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup Sunday against North Korea at 1:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
