Tar Heels edge Razorbacks in overtime

A soccer ball sits on the field prior to a game between Arkansas and Georgia on Sunday, Oct. 27, 2019, in Fayetteville.

North Carolina's Sam Meza scored a game-winning goal in overtime and the No. 3 Tar Heels defeated No. 13 Arkansas 1-0 on Sunday in Chapel Hill, N.C.

Meza's goal came during the seventh minute of overtime, but more than an hour after the end of regulation. The start of overtime was delayed by more than 45 minutes due to lightning.

The Tar Heels (2-0) out-shot the Razorbacks 21-6, including 7-3 on goal. Meza had a shot saved by Arkansas goalkeeper Hannah Warner four minutes before her game winner. Warner had six saves.

North Carolina was aggressive, but Warner and the Razorbacks' defense weathered a flurry of chances for the Tar Heels just after halftime. Arkansas' best scoring chance came in the 84th minute when Reagan Swindell's shot was saved off the line by a North Carolina defender.

Arkansas (0-2) lost for the second time to a ranked ACC team in four days. The Razorbacks dropped a 3-1 decision at No. 6 Duke on Thursday.

Arkansas is scheduled to play again Aug. 30 against No. 15 BYU in Fayetteville.
