Senior Day, Presented by Carolina Alumni
Saturday's game will be Senior Day, presented by Carolina Alumni. The Senior Day ceremony will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m. Gates will open at 10:15 a.m. for the public, 45 minutes earlier than usual so fans can attend the senior ceremony.
The graduates being honored include seniors Reilly Casey, Alyssa Long, Amelia Sheehan and Caitlyn Wurzburger; fifth-years Olivia Dirks, Bailey Horne, Livi Lawton, Emily Nalls and Flynn Reed; and sixth-year Gabi Hall. Graduate assistant athletic trainer Caitlin Bacon will also be recognized. Ashley Humphrey and Sophie Student will be celebrated too, but both will be returning to Chapel Hill in 2025.
Alumni Day, Presented by The Graduate
Saturday will also be Alumni Day, presented by The Graduate. Carolina Lacrosse is thrilled to welcome back its alumnae to Chapel Hill and will recognize those in attendance during halftime.
UNC will also honor the jerseys of two legendary Tar Heels – Kristen Carr '10 (No. 6) and Jen Russell '10 (No. 9) – at halftime. Both were All-America selections during their time at Carolina and led the United States to back-to-back World Cup titles in 2013 and 2017.
Heels vs. Hokies
This will be the 33rd meeting all-time between North Carolina and Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels are looking to extend their perfect 32-0 mark over the Hokies, which includes an unblemished 14-0 mark for games played in Chapel Hill.
In the Last Meeting
UNC won, 10-6, in Blacksburg last year during the 2023 ACC opener on Feb. 24. Wurzburger had three goals and three assists while Casey dished out four assists. Alecia Nicholas made six saves.
Last Time Out
The Tar Heels are coming off an 18-12 loss at No. 4 Boston College last Saturday. UNC dominated the draw, 22-11, led by a career-high from GraceAnn Leonard. Darcy Felter matched her career-high four goals while Long had a hat trick.
Major Milestones
A few major milestones are on the horizon for the Tar Heels...
In the Rankings
North Carolina is ranked No. 14 in this week's ILWomen/IWLCA poll and No. 16 in the USA Lacrosse Magazine poll. The team has been ranked in the top-15 by IWLCA all season.
Humphrey, the NCAA single-season assists record holder with 88 from 2022 while at Stanford, ranks 11th nationally with 33 assists and 13th with 2.75 assists/game.
Shoes 4 Hope
North Carolina men's and women's lacrosse is teaming up with UNC Children's Hospital for the fight against pediatric cancer. Both teams hosted their first Shoes 4 Hope game on March 23 as part of Coaches vs. Cancer, a nationwide initiative that empowers coaches, their teams and local communities to make a difference in the fight against cancer.
Patients at UNC Children's Hospital painted Nike sneakers that Tar Heel coaches and staff wore during Saturday's doubleheader. In March, several UNC lacrosse players, coaches and staff members visited the hospital to paint shoes with the kids. The shoes are up for auction to support Pediatric Hematology Oncology at UNC Children's.
The auction can be found here. Bidding starts at $150. All proceeds and donations benefit local children fighting cancer. The auction officially closes on April 22.
