Sunday certainly lived up to the hype.

The 1-v-2 matchup between Boston College and North Carolina was just as thrilling as we all hoped. Two other matchups between undefeated teams were less thrilling.

Here’s everything that went down Sunday.

ANOTHER INSTANT CLASSIC BETWEEN BC AND UNC

Andie Aldave scored four goals and both Olivia Dirks and Sam Geiersbach had two goals and two assists as No. 2 North Carolina outlasted No. 1 Boston College 16-15 in Chestnut Hill.

UNC (9-0, 3-0 ACC) held Boston College (8-1, 2-1 ACC) scoreless for over 20 minutes between the second and third quarters.

More coming later from Andy Backstrom.

MARYLAND ASSERTS ITSELF AGAINST RUTGERS

In another matchup between undefeated conference foes, No. 3 Maryland thumped No. 12 Rutgers 16-6 in College Park.

Hannah Leubecker had four goals and two assists, Aurora Cordingley and Jordyn Lipkin each had three goals and two assists and Libby May had a hat trick for Maryland (7-0, 1-0 Big Ten), which closed the game on a 6-0 run.

Rutgers (8-1, 0-1 Big Ten) fell into a 5-1 hole early in the second quarter and closed within two goals at 7-5 when Marin Hartshorn scored with 10:53 left in the third quarter. But Maryland scored the next three goals and nine of the next 10.

In front of 1,026 fans in College Park, Maryland had a 17-9 disadvantage on draws but made up for it with a 25-17 advantage on ground balls.

MICHIGAN SURVIVES IN DOUBLE OVERTIME

No. 11 Michigan closed a four-goal deficit in the third quarter and got the game-winning goal from Caroline Bean with 14 seconds left in the second overtime period, as the Wolverines survived with an 8-7 win over host Villanova.

Michigan (9-1) scored the first goal of the game just 1:38 into the action, but it was all Villanova for the foreseeable future. The Wildcats proceeded to hold the Wolverines scoreless until Kaley Thompson scored with 12:38 left in the third quarter.

Thompson’s goal was the first in a 3-0 run that cut the deficit to 5-4. Olivia Piccirilii gave Villanova (3-7) a 6-4 lead, then Thompson scored twice to tie the score at 6.

Libby McKenna gave Villanova its last lead at 7-6 with 10:24 to play, but it was short lived. Caitlin Muir scored 28 seconds later for the tie.

Both sides were then held scoreless until Bean’s OT winner.

HERE COMES JAMES MADISON

Don’t look now, but here come the Dukes.

James Madison entered this week under-.500  with three straight ranked opponents coming up. It’s come out of the first two matchups unscathed. The Dukes beat in-state foes No. 15 Richmond and No. 14 Virginia, the latter of which happened Sunday afternoon.

Virginia’s five-goal run to close the game put pressure on James Madison, but the Dukes ultimately won 16-14. Isabella Peterson scored six goals, Kacey Knobloch had three and Taylor Marchetti, Katelyn Morgan and Ava Frantz each scored twice.

James Madison (5-4) won despite Virginia’s 17-5 advantage on free position chances.

It was all JMU after the first quarter, but Virginia (5-6) closed that 8-2 deficit to 10-8 by halftime. JMU scored six of the next seven goals for a 16-9 lead, a margin that proved large enough to withstand Virginia’s late run.

FLORIDA’S ROLLERCOASTER WIN

It was truly a tale of two halves for No. 16 Florida.

The Gators leave Philadelphia with a 10-9 win over Drexel thanks to Danielle Pavinelli’s goal with 18 seconds remaining, but after the first 30 minutes, it looked as if Florida (4-4) was going to coast.

The Gators led 8-1 at the break, but Drexel (4-4) stormed back to take a 9-8 lead on Lucy Schneidereith’s goal with 5:21 remaining. In the process, Colleen Grady became the program’s all-time points leader.

Maggie Hall’s sixth goal of the game tied it at 9 with one minute left. She then sett up Pavinelli’s winner.

NOTABLE

• Maddie Jenner became No. 7 Duke’s all-time draw controls leader in a thorough 20-3 win over previously undefeated Davidson. Duke (10-1) scored the first 20 goals of the game. Jenner controlled draws, Catriona Barry had four goals and two assists and 11 different players scored. Davidson is now 6-1.

• Colleen Quinn had one goal and four assists and Grace Muldoon, Arden Tierney, Sophia DiCenso and Hannah Custer all registered hat tricks in No. 15 Richmond’s 16-3 win over Wofford. Richmond (6-2) outshot Wofford 35-17.

• No. 19 Notre Dame (4-5) got a banner day from Maddie Howe, whose seven goals and four assists paced the Irish to a 17-10 win over Yale. Kasey Choma and Madison Ahern each had hat tricks.

• Kelsey Huff sent it to overtime with 9 seconds remaining in regulation, but Stanford got the 15-14 win thanks to a goal from Ashley Humphrey in overtime. Stanford (5-4, 3-0 Pac 12) has since bounced back from a rough start in which it was 1-4. USC falls to 6-2 (3-1 Pac 12).

• Arizona State (4-3, 3-1 Pac 12) got the better end of a high-scoring matchup, beating Cal 21-18. Emily Glagolev had three goals and seven assists, Carley Adams had five goals, and Taylor Pinzone had four. Liz Scott had seven goals and two assists for Cal (0-9, 0-3 Pac 12).
