UNC men's lacrosse earns first Final Four birth since 1993 with 13-9 win over Notre Dame

The North Carolina men’s lacrosse team defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 13-9 to advance to the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament.

The final score doesn’t do any justice to how well the Tar Heels played on Sunday afternoon. North Carolina went on an 8-0 run, outscored the Fighting Irish 11-3 over the first three quarters of the game and after the final buzzer sounded, had earned their first trip to the Final Four since 1993.

What happened?

This game was an upset, a massive one, for the unranked Tar Heels (10-6) over third-seeded Notre Dame (11-4).
