CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Trailing by three goals with less than four minutes to play, the unranked University of North Carolina men's lacrosse team staged a stunning late rally to defeat seventh-ranked Syracuse in the first round of the 2019 Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Tournament before 942 at UNC Lacrosse Stadium Thursday night.
The victory kept UNC's NCAA post-season hopes alive as it improved to 8-6 on the season while Syracuse saw its four-game winning streak come to an end. The Orange is now 9-4 on the campaign.
UNC, seeded fifth in the tournament, will play top-seeded Virginia Saturday at 2 p.
