After clinching the program’s first No. 1 overall seed, the Duke Blue Devils (18-2-1) are two wins away from their first ever Women’s College Cup championship. It’s the fourth time the two rivals will meet this season. North Carolina ousted Duke in the ACC tournament semifinals, but fell to the Blue Devils in both regular season meetings.
It’s only fitting the two must go through one another once more to punch their ticket for the national championship game.
Bolstered by a stellar defense, the Blue Devils have not conceded a goal this tournament. They defeated Howard (8-0), No. 8 Texas Tech (3-0), No. 5 Michigan State (2-0) and slipped past Virginia Tech (1-0) in a thrilling quarterfinal.
The Blue Devils have scored 14 goals in four games this postseason. Graduate midfielder Nicky Chico notched the lone goal in the win over the Hokies, marking a new single-season scoring record for the program at 68 goals.
This is Duke’s fifth appearance in the College Cup (1992, 2011, 2015, 2017 and 2024). Regardless of the outcome, 23-year head coach Robbie Church is set to retire after the conclusion of the historic campaign.

North Carolina (20-5-0) holds the record for the most national titles, but has not won a championship since 2012. They return to the College Cup for a 32nd time and the fifth appearance in the last seven years.
The Tarheels handled their opposition to reach the semifinal stage, notching victories over USC Upstate (8-0), Santa Clara (1-0), No. 6 Minnesota (3-0) and a golden goal propelled them past No. 3 Penn State in the quarterfinals after a 1-1 draw.
The match was not without controversy as a video review overturned a first half goal from the Nittany Lions. North Carolina broke through with a Kate Faasse stunning header to send the Heels back to Cary. The junior midfielder leads the nation with 19 goals, including an incredible seven game-winning goals.
North Carolina owns the all-time series with a 44-6-5 record, but the Blue Devils are 3-4-3 in the last 10 encounters, signaling a shift in the lopsided rivalry.
Cary is 19 miles from Durham. It’s 22 miles from Chapel Hill. The rivalry is renewed in their own backyard. The winner will face No. 2 Wake Forest and No. 3 Stanford in the national championship on Dec. 9.

A 42-year-old North Carolina man on Tuesday was extradited to Pennsylvania after state police said he stole more than $100,000 from ATMs in Snyder and Union counties.
Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, Antoni J. Garcia-Cordoba, of Raleigh, North Carolina, stole from four ATMs at Central Penn Bank and Trust locations, state police said.
In a five-hour span, Garcia-Cordoba took $43,000 from three separate ATMs in Snyder and Union counties, according to a police report. On Oct. 1, he stole an additional $58,000 from an ATM in Titusville, bringing the total amount stolen to $101,000.
Garcia-Cordoba is charged with two counts of corrupt organizations – employee, a first-degree felony, and two counts of theft by unlawful taking, a third-degree felony.
After being in custody at a jail in Boone County, Missouri, Garcia-Cordoba was extradited to Union County on Tuesday.
He is being held in the Union County Prison after being unable to post $100,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 13, 2026.
SALISBURY, N.C. — Eleven firefighters and two other people were injured in a house fire explosion in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, officials said.
Salisbury Fire Chief Bob Parnell said firefighters did not have life-threatening injuries but were getting treated for contusions, concussions and smoke inhalation following the fire Monday evening. Two other people were taken to the hospital, but Parnell said he didn’t know their conditions and couldn’t confirm whether they were in the house at the time of the fire.
The Salisbury Fire Department responded to the single-family home around 5 p.m. and found it engulfed in flames.
Eleven of the 22 firefighters at the scene went inside the house to search for occupants and “get water on that fire,” which preceded the explosion, Panell said at a news conference.
“It was enough force that the outside walls blew out, the roof came up and went back down,” Parnell said.
An investigation of the fire and explosion is continuing.

Harrison Bertos scores in OT to help Washington beat N.C. State 3-2 and win first Men’s College Cup
CARY, N.C. (AP) — Harrison Bertos scored 1:54 into overtime after Washington blew a two-goal lead in the second half, and the Huskies beat North Carolina State 3-2 to win the Men’s College Cup at First Horizon Stadium on Monday night.
It was the first national championship for unseeded Washington (16-6-2), who became the first team to win six road matches in the tournament — beating six seeded teams along the way under the guidance of coach Jamie Clark. The Huskies won in their second trip to the final after losing 2-0 to Clemson in 2021.
No. 15 seed N.C. State (16-3-4) made the final for the first time behind coach Marc Hubbard. The Wolfpack were aiming for the school’s first national championship since Jim Valvano led the men’s basketball team to the title in 1983.
Zach Ramsey scored unassisted with 1:12 remaining in the first half and Washington took a 1-0 lead into the break. It was only the second time this season that N.C. State trailed at halftime.
Ramsey scored into an empty net after Wolfpack goalkeeper Logan Erb couldn’t corral the ball at the top of the box. It was Ramsey’s second goal of the tournament.
Richie Aman sent a cross to the center of the goal and Joe Dale knocked it in for a 2-0 lead in the 62nd minute.
Donavan Phillip answered in the 66th, scoring with an assist from Nikola Markovic to cut it to 2-1 with his fourth goal of the tournament. The Wolfpack entered 11-0-1 when Phillip scores.
Taig Healy scored the equalizer with 3:28 remaining with assists from Justin Mclean and Calem Tommy.
Egor Akulov had an assist on Bertos’ winner.
Huskies keeper Jadon Bowton, the only remaining player from the 2021 squad, had five saves.
Erb saved six shots for N.C. State, which was the last school to concede a goal this season.
The temperature was 28 degrees when the match between two teams that had never faced each other began.
