Carolina enters lacrosse tourney with Philly flavor

Posted May 9, 2015

And when they begin pursuit of the national championship with a first-round game with Patriot Conference winner Colgate on Sunday, All-ACC selections Joey Sankey (Penn Charter) and Ryan Kilpatrick (Salesianum, Del.) will be key.
