Gray Picks Up Fourth ACC Weekly Honor of the Season

GREENSBORO, N.C.– For the fourth time this season, North Carolina's Chris Gray is the pick as Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week.

A senior from Wading River, N.Y., Gray led the Tar Heels with eight points in a 21-9 win at Syracuse on Saturday. He scored twice in the first 7:06 as UNC built a 5-0 lead then assisted on six more goals as the Tar Heels rolled to their first win at Syracuse since 1991 and the highest scoring total in an ACC game since 1994. Gray's six assists matched his high as a Tar Heel.

Duke's JT Giles-Harris was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week.

Next up for UNC (9-2, 2-2 ACC) is a home game on Sunday against Notre Dame. The Tar Heels will celebrate Senior Day prior to the matchup with the Irish, which is set for a 2 p.m. start.
