Pirates take out 38 years of frustration on Tar Heels in 55-31 rout

Posted Sep 28, 2013
A lot of frustration can be built up in 38 years, which is how long it had been since the Pirates had beaten UNC in Chapel Hill before Saturday. And much of it was blown off during the course of a four-hour beatdown no one but coach Ruffin McNeill and his players saw coming. Especially not after a heartbreaking home loss to Virginia Tech two weeks ago. (Wilmington Star News)
