TOWSON, MD.—Fourth-seeded Boston College spotted North Carolina a 4-1 lead in the opening 12 minutes of the game, then seized control and beat the top-seeded Tar Heels, 11-9, in the 2021 NCAA Women's Lacrosse semifinals at Johnny Unitas Stadium on Friday afternoon.
Boston College built a five-goal, second-half lead and held off a furious UNC rally in the closing minutes.
