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.

North Carolina man accused of shooting and killing another tourist inside of a Broward Airbnb, police say
A Fourth of July trip to South Florida ended in tragedy after a 21-year-old North Carolina man was shot and killed inside a Hollywood Airbnb, according to police.
Investigators say Jaydon Williams, 21, was shot multiple times early Saturday morning at a vacation rental in the 1900 block of Funston Street. Hollywood police have arrested 21-year-old Devian Blount, also of North Carolina, and charged him with first-degree murder.
Officers responded to the home around 1 a.m. Saturday, following reports of a shooting. They arrived to find Williams suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital, where he died.
According to the arrest report, Williams was on a FaceTime call with his girlfriend at the time of the shooting. She told investigators she heard someone accuse Williams of stealing, followed by a verbal argument and several gunshots.
The incident has left neighbors shaken in the typically quiet Hollywood community. While some residents noted they were aware that the home operated as a short-term rental, others expressed concerns about the property’s transient nature.
“That’s a bad idea to me to have an Airbnb in this neighborhood where so many people and kids live,” said neighbor Dorell Green. “Different types of people come and go. You don’t know who is coming or leaving.”
Ivette Santana, another resident, said her primary concern is the violence. “I don’t care about the Airbnb,” Santana said. “My problem is the shooting over there.”
Blount is being held without bond at the Broward County Jail.
CBS News Miami has contacted Airbnb to determine if the property remains in operation. We are also working to contact the property’s owners.

Sickness causing explosive diarrhea reportedly reaches 145 cases in North Carolina

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) – A sickness causing explosive diarrhea across the United States has been reported in North Carolina.
State health officials confirmed on Tuesday, July 7, that at least 145 cases of cyclosporiasis had been reported in North Carolina since May 1.
According to the state’s health website, cyclosporiasis is an intestinal illness caused by a parasite known as cyclospora. Sickness is often brought on by consuming food or water that is contaminated with the parasite.
The state’s website says it usually takes a week for symptoms to show up after consuming the contaminated food or water.
Among the symptoms are:
- Watery diarrhea with frequent, sometimes explosive bowel movements
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Stomach cramps/pain
- Bloating
- Increased gas
- Nausea
- Fatigue
Health officials said cyclospora is often associated with fresh herbs and produce that are served uncooked. They said because those items often go uncooked, it is imperative for them to be cleaned prior to eating.
According to the CDC, healthy people who contract cyclosporiasis usually recover without treatment but may have symptoms for a few days to a month or longer. In other cases, the sickness can be treated with antibiotics.
As of mid-June, the CDC reported cyclosporiasis cases in 17 states. At that point, no deaths had been reported.
