The UNC Lacrosse program made some history on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill as they earned a big win over Lafayette.

The North Carolina Men’s Lacrosse team is off to a good start early on in this 2020 college season and they built on their hot start Saturday afternoon. With a dominating 24-8 win over Lafayette, the No. 9 Tar Heels earned their 300th home win at Dorrance Field in program history.

The Tar Heels were led by Alex Trippi and Tanner Cook who both scored four goals in the big win on Saturday. Trippi also added an assist on his score sheet.

Overall, UNC had 43 total points in the game on 24 goals and 19 assists which were tied for the sixth-most in program history. The 24 goals were also the most for the Tar Heels in a single game since the 2015 season when they scored 26 in a big win over Manhattan.

The win moves UNC to 3-0 on the season as they will get ready for a road game at Johns Hopkins on February 22nd.
