Softball Earns No. 10 Seed at ACC Championship, Faces Wolfpack Wednesday
May 11, 2021 | Softball
CHAPEL HILL – North Carolina Softball heads to Louisville, Ky. this week for the 2021 ACC Championship as a No. 10 seed, thanks to a clinching win versus the Louisville Cardinals on May 7.
The Tar Heels (14-25, 10-19 ACC) will face in-state rival, the seventh-seeded NC State Wolfpack (25-24, 15-22 ACC) on Wednesday, May 12 at 3:30 p.m. at Ullmer Stadium, with the game broadcast on the linear ACC Network.
Carolina's last appearance in the ACC Tournament was in 2019, due to the cancelation of the 2020 tournament during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Tar Heels defeated the NC State Wolfpack 6-1 in 2019, before falling to Florida State in the final game.
A victory over the Wolfpack would put the Tar Heels back against the Florida State Seminoles, the No. 2 seed, on May 13 at 5 p.m.
