UNC Lacrosse Team Dedicates Huge Win To Coach's Late Toddler Son

Posted May 22, 2016
Joe Breschi was the head coach of Ohio State’s lacrosse team in 2004, when his 3-year-old, Michael, was fatally struck by an SUV in the parking lot of his preschool. Now the eighth-year head coach at UNC, Breschi was back in Columbus today for a national quarterfinal game against No. 3 seed Notre Dame, vying for the Tar Heels’ first Final Four berth since 1993.
