Johns Hopkins demolishes UNC men's lacrosse in top-5 matchup

The No. 3 North Carolina men's lacrosse team fell to No. 4 Johns Hopkins, 13-5, at Fetzer Field on Saturday.

What happened?

The Tar Heels (3-1) have made their name this season by jumping all over their opponents early, but this wasn't the case Saturday.

Less than a minute into the game, UNC midfielder Brett Bedard was called for slashing. A short time later, the Blue Jays (4-0) converted the extra-man opportunity to take a 1-0 lead.

Johns Hopkins was able to score twice more in the period while the usually potent Tar Heel offense tallied just one goal in the quarter.
