CHAPEL HILL, N.C.--The University of North Carolina men's lacrosse team faces its second successive week with two games on tap as the (No. 4 USILA/No. 5 Nike-Inside Lacrosse) Tar Heels (5-1) meet Marist (0-4) Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Fetzer Field before hosting No. 9 Maryland (5-2) Saturday at 6 p.m. at Fetzer Field. Live stats will be available for both games on TarHeelBlue.com courtesy of CSTV Gametracker.
North Carolina split its two games last week, leaving it with a record of 5-1 heading into this week's contests against Marist and Maryland, both games to be played in Chapel Hill. Last Tuesday, the Tar Heels rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat Providence 8-6. Last Saturday, the Tar Heels fell at No. 1 Duke 19-9.
North Carolina's Saturday game with Maryland will be nationally televised by ESPNU.
