One of the strangest and most inexplicable droughts in men's lacrosse ended on Sunday when UNC advanced to the Final Four for the first time since 1993. UNC grabbed a 13-9 win over #3 Notre Dame on Sunday in a game that wasn't actually that close. It was the second win this season over the Irish.
With the win, UNC finally breaks through to the sport's final weekend after 23 years of frustration. UNC won a national title in men's lacrosse back in 1991(the program's fourth) and in the last appearance at the Final Four lost 13-12 to Syracuse in the title game.
