CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - The University of North Carolina men's lacrosse team remained No. 5 in this week's STX/Geico U.S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association national coaches poll. Coach John Haus' Tar Heels (6-3, 2-1 ACC) will next be in action Saturday when UNC hosts the University of Maryland Baltimore County (4-4) at Kenan Stadium at 1 p.m. Saturday's venue is at Kenan because UNC is hosting the ACC Track & Field Championships at Fetzer Field.
Carolina's only losses this season have come to the nation's top three teams in this weeks poll -- Johns Hopkins, Navy and Maryland -- and in each case the Tar Heels lost by only one goal.
