Top-ranked North Carolina overcame a slow start to race past 10th-ranked Lehigh 16-7 in the first round of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament Saturday afternoon at Fetzer Field. Eleven different Tar Heels scored in the game as UNC rang up its largest margin of victory in an NCAA Tournament game since 1990 when current head coach Joe Breschi served as the senior solo captain for Coach Willie Scroggs’ final Carolina team.

ACC champion North Carolina improved to 13-3 on the campaign, its most wins in a season since 2010, and advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals for the third time in Breschi’s five years as head coach. The Tar Heels will be making their first quarterfinal appearance in three years next Sunday in Indianapolis, Ind., at Lucas Oil Stadium. The fifth-seeded Tar Heels will play fourth-seeded Denver in the quarterfinals after the Pioneers routed Albany 19-14 Saturday night in a first-round game in Denver. A quarterfinal win next Sunday would give Carolina is first Final Four appearance since 1993.
