In a rematch of last year’s NCAA Championship game, the No. 2 North Carolina women’s lacrosse team won an 18-16 battle against No. 1 Northwestern and handed the Wildcats (12-1) their first home loss in 59 games.
The win also marked the end to Northwestern’s 41-game winning streak. The Wildcats had not lost a game since April 27, 2008.
Sophomore midfielder Laura Zimmerman led UNC’s offense with five goals and two assists, while junior Corey Donohoe and sophomore Becky Lynch each had five points.
The Tar Heels (13-1, 4-1 ACC) move on to the ACC Tournament next weekend.
