Chicago Red Stars defender Casey Short started, and Williams, a Western

Abby Dahlkemper followed in the 72nd minute and Legends FC forward
Ashley Hatch in the 76th.They deserved some playing time based on how
they trained, Ellis said. Thats the messaging -- how well you do in
training gets you playing time. Switzerland is a good team. To come in
and be as impactful as they were is a real testament to our potential
future with this group.The 23-year-old Williams, this years National

. LOUIS -- St.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The?University of North Carolina?on Friday
will meet with the NCAA for a jurisdictional meeting -- and not a
Committee on Infractions?hearing -- a team spokesperson told ESPN on
Wednesday.In its response to the NCAAs notice of allegations, the
university argued that the NCAA did not have the right to punish the
school for academic issues because it was not in the national
organizations purview.The NCAA membership worked long and hard studying
and trying to decide what should and shouldnt be a bylaw, what is and is
not within the manual, athletic director Bubba Cunningham said. The
quality of the class, we understand and have said for some time didnt
meet our normal standards, but that doesnt mean its a violation of a
bylaw.The school will make that fformal argument Friday to the NCAA in
the form of a hearing, senior associate athletic director Steve
Kirschner said.

Essentially, UNC is arguing that the NCAA long has stayed out of the
business of determining academic merit and therefore cannot penalize the
Tar Heels for what is essentially a non-athletics issue.Kirschner said
he does not expect an immediate resolution, but that until a decision is
made, a meeting with the actual Committee on Infractions will not be
scheduled.Jurisdictional hearings are uncommon, Kirschner said. He
believes the NCAA has hosted one just once before, involving former Ohio
State coach Jim OBrien.
