After losing three players who accounted for almost half of the 2015 team’s points, the North Carolina men’s lacrosse team knew there would be some changes to the attack coming into this season.
At times last year, the Tar Heels’ attack depended on the individual skills of Jimmy Bitter, Joey Sankey and Chad Tutton to manufacture offense. The trio combined to tally 191 points in the form of 104 goals and 87 assists while playing their way to All-American selections.
But this year the attack’s strategy has changed.
“A lot has been talked about our team losing some superstars, which we did, but we’re at our best when the guys are all playing together,” Coach Joe Breschi said.
