The North Carolina women’s lacrosse team came out firing on all cylinders and throttled Virginia in the second round of the NCAA tournament 23-12 on Sunday afternoon at Fetzer Field.
The 23 goals are a season high, breaking the previous mark of 21 set against the Cavaliers this past March. The win also comes on the heels of midfielder Marie McCool being named a finalist for Tewaaraton Award, the highest individual award in the sport.
From the opening whistle, the Tar Heels (17-2) were on the attack, getting 8 of their 10 shots on goal, which resulted in an early 6-2 lead.
