UNC Softball’s impressive turnaround season ends with ACC tournament loss

Posted May 8, 2024
UNC Softball has made impressive strides in its first season under coach Megan Smith Lyon, but it ended sooner than the Tar Heels expected. No. 7-seed UNC blew a three-run lead as No. 10 Notre Dame rode a five-run sixth inning to a 7–4 victory Wednesday afternoon in the first round of the ACC tournament. "There’s a lot to build on," said Smith Lyon. (Tar Heel Tribune)
