After 'average' start and turning-point loss, UNC baseball trending up

Posted Apr 16, 2018
UNC started 2018 tabbed to win the ACC Coastal Division and ranked as high as No. 6 in preseason polls, but lost just its second season opener since coach Mike Fox took over in 1999, went 7-7 in its first 14 games and fell out of the Top 25. Now, UNC is back in the rankings for the second straight week (at No. 19) and has "been settled lately," according to Fox. (WRAL Sports Fan)
