A slow start and an opposing goalie who was on fire between the pipes spelled doom for the men’s lacrosse team yesterday afternoon, as No. 5/6 Cornell fell 13-8 to No. 7/8 North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The Red (1-1) was down 6-1 at the beginning of the second quarter, and although at times it came within two goals of the Tar Heels (3-0), it was never able to gain control of the game.
“North Carolina just came out strong [in the first quarter],” said junior defender Matt Moyer. “They have a really good team, you have to credit them. They played well and they played together.”
