UNC Lacrosse: Lady Tar Heels win national championship

The North Carolina Tar Heels are national champions!

The women’s lacrosse team ended Maryland’s undefeated season, beating the Terrapins 13-7 to win the NCAA Championship on Sunday. With the win, the Tar Heels now have two national championships as they won their first one in 2013.

A dominant performance from goalie Megan Ward who set a career-high 14 saves helped lead the Tar Heels to their 20th and final win on the season opposed to just 2 losses.. That also set a school record for the program.

Ward helped lead a defense that kept the Terrapins in check for most of the game.
