“Luck of the Tar Heels”

Notre Dame’s men’s lacrosse team was suppose to beat North Carolina; seems the boys at UNC didn’t get the memo. With a dominating 2nd and 3rd quarter, the Tar Heels beat the Fighting Irish 11-8 on Fetzer Field. In 2006, UNC managed only to win 4 games all season. Thus far they are 5-1 with 7 regular season games to go. The Heels looked solid in their freshmen. There are so many new faces that I didn’t recognize half the players out on the field. That says a lot of great things about their future. It is great to see this team get back to it’s winning ways. I felt an excitement and enthusiasm in the players Saturday that I have not felt from them in a long time.

As always, here are some photos of UNC Lacrosse v. Notre Dame.
