LAFAYETTE, La.--Sara Buchholz, Logan Foulks and Lori Spingola were named to the 8th Annual Mardi Gras All-Tournament team for their efforts in propelling No. 25 North Carolina to a 3-0 record over the weekend. The Tar Heels are 7-0 on the season.
Foulks compiled a .333 batting average for the tournament, tallying three hits, two home runs and three RBI. With the score knotted at 6-6 against UTEP in the Tar Heels first game of the weekend, Foulks led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk-off home run down the right field line. Foulks is tied for the most home runs on the team (3) and has posted a team-high eight RBI through the first seven games.
