CHAPEL HILL – In an afternoon full of long rallies, Carolina volleyball battled past Notre Dame on Sunday, 3-1 (27-25, 25-17, 23-25, 25-20). The Tar Heels needed a season-high 93 digs to outlast the Fighting Irish, using patience and endurance to capture their 10th conference victory of the year. The win lifts Carolina to 13-8 (10-2 ACC), while Notre Dame sinks to 6-18 (1-11 ACC).
“This was a hard match,” said head coach Joe Sagula. “It was a tough match to play, and I think we still had a little bit of the Louisville ‘jetlag’ you could call it.
