Praise For 2016 Tar Heel Freshmen

CHAPEL HILL—At the beginning of each academic year, Lacrosse Magazine names its Freshman 15: the magazine's choices for the top freshmen in the nation for the following season. This fall in its September issue, North Carolina incoming freshmen Olivia Ferrucci (a midfielder from Naples, Fla.), Erin Kelly (a defender from West Nyack, N.Y.) and Charlotte Sofield (a midfielder from Alexandria, Va.) made the list.
