Despite being dominated by Johns Hopkins all day, the North Carolina men’s lacrosse team still had a chance to turn things around.
Facing the No. 4 Blue Jays (4-0), the No. 3 Tar Heels (3-1) had been mostly shut down through 35 minutes of play. With just over 10 minutes remaining in the third period, the Tar Heels had failed to find any sort of groove. Turnovers and fouls continued to set UNC back, stunting any positive momentum the team tried to build.
Still, a spirited performance from the Tar Heel defense had them just two goals behind.
