Men’s Lacrosse: Tar Heels Ranked No. 16 in Face-Off Yearbook Preseason Top 25

Posted Dec 7, 2018
Despite missing the NCAA Tournament last season for the first time since 2006, the UNC men’s lacrosse team was ranked No. 16 in the Preseason Top 25 poll released by Face-Off Yearbook. The Tar Heels started last year 6-0 before stumbling to a 7-7 finish, missing the ACC and NCAA Tournaments. Strong performances in fall scrimmages, however, have created positive buzz.
