Carolina has improved tremendously in one-goal games since Breschi arrived for the 2009 season. UNC is 14-9 in games decided by one goal over the past five years. The most recent one-goal win came on April 26, 2013 when the Tar Heels defeated Duke in the ACC Tournament semifinals. THE TAR HEELS VERSUS NATIONALLY RANKED TEAMS IN 2013: Eleven of Carolina s first 16 games this season have come against teams ranked in the Top 20 of the Nike Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Tar Heels are 8-3 in those 11 games. HOLMAN ELECTED SINGLE CAPTAIN: Senior Marcus Holman was elected as the sole captain of the 2013 Tar Heels, the first time that has happened in 23 years.

Carolina sophomore midfielder Chad Tutton was a member of Team Canada, which captured the silver medal. CAROLINA S STELLAR MARK IN NON-CONFERENCE GAMES: UNC s record in non-conference games continues to be one of the best in the nation over the past eight seasons. The Tar Heels have won 69 of their past 80 games against non-conference teams dating back to April 15, In Joe Breschi s five seasons as head coach, the Tar Heels are 48-8 against non-conference teams. The only losses were to Notre Dame in 2009, to Ohio State and Johns Hopkins in 2011, to Lehigh, Pennsylvania and Denver in 2012 and to Massachusetts and Notre Dame in CAROLINA S DOUBLE DIGIT SCORING GAMES: In Coach Joe Breschi s five years as head lacrosse coach at UNC, Carolina s success has clearly been tied to hitting the 10-goal plateau in a game. In fact UNC s loss to Massachusetts on February 16, 2013, marked only the eighth time in Breschi s coaching tenure that the Tar Heels have lost when they have reached the 10-goal plateau. UNC has scored at least 10 goals in a game in 60 of 83 games under Coach Breschi s direction dating back to the opening game of the 2009 season. Carolina is 52-8 in those 60 games, losing only to Virginia on April 4, 2009, to Duke on April 26, 2009, to Duke on May 17, 2009, to Virginia on April 9, 2011, to Duke on March 16, 2012, to Virginia on April 7, 2012, to Denver on May 12, 2012 and to Massachusetts on February 16, In the 23 games under Coach Breschi s tutelage in which the Tar Heels have not reached the 10-goal mark, UNC has not fared nearly as well as when it scores in double figures. In fact, the Tar Heels record in those 23 games is just During the 2013 season, UNC has scored double digits in goals in 14 of 16 games. The exceptions were a 10-9 triple overtime loss at Notre Dame and an 11-8 home loss to Duke in the regular season. NEAR DOMINANCE AT HOME UNDER BRESCHI: UNC is 36-7 in home games in Coach Joe Breschi s five years at the helm of the Tar Heels. That s a winning percentage of 83.7 percent. UNC s only home losses during Breschi s four-year tenure include regular-season and ACC Tournament games to Duke in 2009, a regular-season loss to Duke in 2011, an NCAA Tournament loss to Maryland in 2011, regular-season losses to Lehigh and Virginia in 2012, an NCAA Tournament loss to Denver in 2012 and a regular-season loss to Duke in CAROLINA IN HOME GAMES: North Carolina will head into next season with an all-time record of in home games.

13 lacrosse championship ended April 28 at Kenan Stadium. Packing a lethal offensive punch for the second straight tournament game and holding at least a two-goal lead throughout the final 32 minutes, the second-seeded Tar Heels turned back fourth-seeded Virginia,16-13, in the title game of the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Championship. North Carolina won its 12th ACC title overall in the sport and its first in 17 years, winning their ninth game in a row this season. The Tar Heels' winning streak is the second longest since 1993 and UNC will look to extend it when the NCAA Tournament opens May 11. In the process, North Carolina's players presented their head coach, Joe Breschi, with his 150th career win. A partisan Carolina crowd was present at Kenan Stadium to celebrate UNC's first title in nearly two decades, a victory which improved Breschi to in his five years at Carolina and overall in 17 years at Ohio State and UNC. Led by Marcus Holman's tournament Most Valuable Player performance, Davey Emala's UNC careerhigh goal total, Chad Tutton's second straight hat trick and Kieran Burke's 17 saves, the Tar Heels won their ninth straight game and finished the regular season at Holman did not score a goal in the championship game, settling for five assists instead. His school record 29-game goal-scoring streak came to an end in the process but it is likely the senior attackman from Baltimore, Md., cared little about the end of that streak. His five points against the Cavaliers lifted his career total to 207 and broke the school record of 204 set 40 years ago by Bruce Ledwith ( ). His five assists gave him 87 in his career, the third highest total in North Carolina lore. The Tar Heels trailed Virginia early but went on a 5-0 scoring run to end the second quarter and start the third quarter, going up 12-7 and eventually recording the triumph. CAROLINA BEATS DUKE FOR FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS: Marcus Holman scored the gamewinning goal with 1:28 to play and Kieran Burke saved David Lawson s shot with six seconds remaining as third-ranked North Carolina defeated sixth-ranked Duke on April 26 in the ACC Tournament semifinals at Kenan Stadium. A crowd of 4,567 fans witnessed the highest-scoring game in ACC Tournament history as the two teams combined for 35 goals, exceeding the previous record of 33 goals set in a double overtime semifinal game in the 2000 tournament when Virginia beat the Tar Heels Holman s late-game heroics overcame a monumental comeback effort by the Blue Devils, who had won nine straight games coming into the contest. UNC led Duke by as many nine goals early in the third quarter before the Blue Devils scored 11 of the next 12 goals to take the lead with less than seven minutes to play. North Carolina scored the last two goals of the game to pull out the victory and win its eighth successive game. Carolina achieved its nine-goal margin at 15-6 with 11:31 left in the third quarter before Duke ran off eight straight goals and 11 of the next 12 tallies to take its first lead of the game with 6:12 to play. But Jimmy Bitter tied the match with 5:01 to play and Holman scored the game-winner off Chad Tutton s assist with 1:28 to play. Duke had an extra-man opportunity at the end of the game and a chance to tie but Kieran Burke made a save on a point-blank shot by David Lawson with six seconds remaining and the ball bounced out of bounds before either team could gain possession as the clock expired. Holman led the Tar Heels with four goals and two assists while Chad Tutton had a career-high four goals as well as an assist. Jimmy Bitter had three goals and an assist for the Tar Heels while Joey Sankey had two goals and two assists. TAR HEELS EARN BIG ROAD WIN AT HOFSTRA: Sixth-ranked North Carolina scored the last 11 goals of the game, including a 10-0 margin in the second half, to defeat Hofstra 14-5 on April 13 in front of a season-high Hofstra home crowd of 5,345 fans at James M. Shuart Stadium. Senior attackman Marcus Holman had three goals and four assists in the game to move into second place all-time in both career goals and career points at UNC as Carolina won for the sixth straight time, improving to 9-3 on the campaign. The Tar Heels have not lost since falling to Duke 11-8 at Fetzer Field on March 13. The Pride fell to 7-5 on the season as Carolina has now won the last four games in the series against Hofstra after the Pride had won six of the first seven meetings between the two teams. Carolina trailed twice by two goals in the first half but held the Pride scoreless for the last 34:38 of the game as freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke continued his hot play in the cage. Burke finished with 12 saves while allowing five goals, a 70.5 save percentage. Carolina held the Pride without a goal for the final 34:48 of the contest. That is the longest scoreless streak for a UNC opponent since the Tar Heels held Bellarmine without a goal for

14 the final 48:26 of a 15-2 Tar Heel win at Fetzer Field on February 16, BURKE EARNS THIRD ACC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARD: North Carolina freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke was named Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week on April 16 after Carolina s win at Hofstra. Burke saved over 70 percent of the shots against him for the second straight game to lead North Carolina to a 14-5 win at No. 20 Hofstra. After the Pride scored with 4:38 left in the first to go up 5-3, Burke made saves on the next eight shots on goal as the Tar Heels ran off 11 straight scores to pull away for the win. A freshman from Fort Salonga, N.Y., Burke also tied his career high for ground balls in a game with seven. The Tar Heel defense, keyed by Burke, held Hofstra scoreless for the final 34:48, the longest defensive stand for North Carolina since It is the third ACC Defensive Player of the Week honor for Burke, who has won all three in the past four weeks. CAROLINA GETS FIRST REGULAR SEASON WIN OVER VIRGINIA IN NINE YEARS: Carolina finished the ACC regular season with a 2-1 record after a 10-7 victory at 18th-ranked Virginia April 6 at Klockner Stadium in Charlottesville, Va. Freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke led the Tar Heels to the victory as he made a career high 23 saves and allowed only seven goals while facing 51 shots from the Wahoos. Burke s save total was the most by an ACC goalie in eight years and the most by a UNC goalkeeper in 10 years. Marcus Holman led the Tar Heels offensively with three goals and three assists for a game-high six points. Jimmy Bitter and Chad Tutton each added two goals and an assist for the Tar Heels. The game marked the first regular-season win for Carolina over Virginia in nine seasons and its first regular-season victory at Klockner Stadium since UNC had beaten the Wahoos in Klockner in last year s ACC Tournament semifinals. The three-goal margin of victory was the largest for UNC in its series against UVA since the Tar Heels beat the Wahoos 15-7 in the 1994 ACC Tournament championship game at Klockner Stadium. UNC SWEEPS ACC PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARDS AFTER WIN OVER UVA: North Carolina senior attackman Marcus Holman and freshman goalkeeper Kieran Burke were named Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, as announced April 9 by the conference. Holman had six points, his fifth game this year with five or more points, on three goals and three assists in North Carolina's 10-7 road victory at Virginia, Carolina's first regular-season win over the Cavaliers in nine years. Holman had his hat trick by halftime, the 15th of his career, and was involved in four of the Tar Heels' six first-half goals. He then added two assists on goals in the second half, including one on Joey Sankey's game-clinching goal with 1:42 to play. The three goals for the native of Baltimore, Md., gave him 111 for his career, tying him for third place on North Carolina's career list. He now has 186 points, sixth most in Tar Heel history, and 75 assists, ninth most. This is his second weekly award of the season and fourth of his career. Burke tallied 23 saves and allowed only seven goals in the victory at Virginia. The 23 stops are the fourth highest total in NCAA Division I this year, and are nine more than his previous career high of 15 set twice this season. The performance is the best by an ACC goalkeeper since 2005, when Maryland's Harry Alford registered 25 against Georgetown, and the most by a Tar Heel since Paul Spellman had 25 in 2003 against Maryland. The native of Fort Salonga, N.Y., was the difference in the game as Virginia outshot North Carolina, 51-32, held a advantage in ground balls, and won 15-of-20 face-offs. Burke saved 14 of the 17 shots on goal in the second half to earn his second ACC Defensive Player of the Week accolade. TAR HEELS WIN THRILLER VERSUS HOPKINS: Carolina has been building momentum the second half of this season off a scintillating overtime victory over Johns Hopkins on March 30 in Kenan Stadium. It was UNC s first game at Kenan Stadium in four years and, ironically, the hero in the game was named Keenan himself (just one more e in the last name for the record). Junior R.G. Keenan won the overtime face-off and scored six seconds later to give the Heels their overtime triumph before a crowd of 5,922 fans. It was Carolina s first overtime win in almost two years. Marcus Holman had four points (2 goals, 2 assists) to lead the Tar Heels while Davey Emala recorded his second straight hat trick in the win over the Blue Jays. Joey Sankey had a pair of goals for UNC while Chad Tutton had a goal and two
