Around 12:55 p.m. Saturday, minutes before the North Carolina women's lacrosse team's rivalry game against Maryland begins, Maddie Hoffer will line up near midfield, along with the rest of the Tar Heels' starters.
Between then and the opening draw, she'll glance around Dorrance Field. And at some point, her eyes will wander toward the home tunnel and its most visible wall, on which a logo of UNC's mascot, Rameses, and the words "we get to" have been painted.
"We get to" is the motto that Hoffer and fellow captains Katie Hoeg and Emma Trenchard have chosen for Carolina this season.
