The seniors on the No. 4 North Carolina men’s lacrosse team have been instrumental in the team’s success this season and came up big again in Sunday’s 12-10 win over No. 2 Notre Dame.
All four players made significant contributions in the frontcourt and will be hard to replace. But, the offseason is still young, so the rookie coach Davis could still have some additions in mind.
This past Friday and Saturday, the North Carolina track and field teams competed at the Tiger Paw Invitational and the Darius Dixon Memorial Invitational at Clemson University and Liberty University, respectively.
“Everybody on the team has a mentality of wanting to be the best," Jonathan Kim said. "I think being in that environment really helped me to be the best that I possibly can.”
After falling behind big early, the North Carolina women’s basketball team (8-6, 3-6 ACC) wasn’t able to complete the comeback against the No. 1 Louisville Cardinals (16-0, 9-0 ACC), losing 79-68 on Thursday despite a stand out performance from graduate transfer Petra Holešínská.
One of the major requirements for this season, outside of testing and social distancing measures, is a mask mandate for the players and coaches while playing.
Associate head coach Tony Ramos said redshirt junior Austin O'Connor is one of many Tar Heels looking to improve on an already successful career in the upcoming season.
Giovanni Montesdeoca gave credit to UNC head coach Carlos Somoano for the goal, explaining that the Somoano had been instructing him to make his runs near the front post, which is where Montesdeoca found himself in scoring position on Friday night.
Offensive coordinator Phil Longo praised the Tar Heels' offense, from which two players made the ACC Team of the Week, but co-defensive coordinator Jay Bateman highlighted the defense's struggles with tackling and reacting to Virginia's pre-play shifts.
The North Carolina men’s soccer team was on the right end of a buzzer beater Friday night, as it gave the Tar Heels a 1-0 victory against No. 3 Clemson at Dorrance Field.
