sweet, can you keep us posted?

 

got it covered buddy.

 

Cool.

 

I just like to point out I did not bring this up this time.

 

The University of North Carolina earned four points this weekend from women's lacrosse, men's and women's track and field and women's golf to clinch the 2008-09 Carlyle Cup competition against Duke.

The women's golf team edged Duke by a single stroke at the ACC Championships to finish in second place behind the team champion, Wake Forest. This marked the first time in the nine-year history of the Carlyle Cup the Tar Heels claimed the point in women's golf.

Carolina has 15.5 points, two more than it needs to win the Carlyle Cup, an annual event in which the two rivals compete in 23 sports for a total of 26 points. The winning team needs at least 13.5 points to win the Cup.

The Blue Devils added a point on Sunday in men's golf and have 9.5 points for the year.

The 26th and final point up for grabs is women's rowing, which will be decided at the ACC Championships on Monday.

This year marks UNC's second straight win in the Carlyle Cup and fourth in the past five years. The schools were tied in 2006-07. This is the ninth year of the competition - Carolina has won five times, Duke three with the one tie.

This year, the Tar Heels accumulated two points in both men's basketball and football, one point in women's basketball, field hockey, women's golf, women's lacrosse, men's soccer, women's soccer, men's swimming and diving, women's swimming and diving, men's track and field, women's track and field and wrestling, and a half-point in volleyball.

Duke's 9.5 points this year were scored one point apiece by baseball, women's basketball, men's cross country, women's cross country, fencing, men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's tennis and women's tennis and a half point from volleyball.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C.--The eighth-ranked University of North Carolina men's lacrosse squad thrived on its highest scoring output in the ACC Tournament since 2000 as first-year head coach Joe Breschi led his Tar Heels into Sunday's championship game of the 2009 ACC Men's Lacrosse Championship. The 16 goals were the most scored by the Tar Heels in tournament play since April 21, 2000 when Virginia defeated the Tar Heels 17-16 in a tournament semifinal game in College Park, Md.

That championship game will be played at 3:30 p.m. Sunday after the Tar Heels whipped 11th-ranked Maryland 16-10 in the first semifinal game at Kenan Stadium Friday evening. A crowd of 3,675 fans was on hand for the game.

Carolina, the tournament's No. 4 seed and ranked No. 8 in the Inside Lacrosse/Nike media poll, improved to 11-4 on the season heading into Sunday's title game against No. 2 seed Duke (11-3). The Blue Devils defeated No. 3 seed Virginia 16-5 in the second semifinal game Friday night. Duke, ranked No. 6 in the Inside Lacrosse/Nike media poll, defeated the Tar Heels 12-8 in the regular season at Kenan Stadium on March 14. That is UNC's only home loss this season. Virginia, the nation's No. 1 team in the Inside Lacrosse/Nike poll, fell to 13-2 with the loss.

Sunday will mark UNC's first title-game appearance since the 1996 season as the Tar Heels broke a 12-game losing streak in ACC Tournament action Friday with its first win in tourney play since April 21, 1996 when the Heels beat Virginia 13-11 in the championship game at Charlottesville, Va. Maryland, the tournament's No. 1 seed and ranked No. 11 in the Inside Lacrosse/Nike media poll, fell to 8-6 on the season and will play its final regular-season game next Saturday at Yale at 1 p.m.

The Tar Heels shot with great accuracy Friday in scoring 16 goals on only 39 shots, including 24 which were on net. The 16 goals tied for the third highest total Carolina has scored in a game in 2009.

Carolina had four different players score three goals apiece as sophomore attackman Billy Bitter, senior midfielder Ben Hunt, senior attackman Bart Wagner and junior attackman Gavin Petracca all racked up hat tricks. All four of those players also had assists with Bitter recording two and Hunt, Petracca and Wagner each having one. Senior attackman Matthias McCall, freshman midfielder Jimmy Dunster and junior midfielder Sean Burke each had a goal and an assist for the victorious Tar Heels. Junior midfielder Sean Delaney had the other Carolina goal and senior midfielder Bobby McAuley had an assist.

The 16 goals were the most scored by the Tar Heels against the Terrapins since March 23, 1996 when Carolina downed the Terps 17-16 at Fetzer Field behind an eight-goal game by Jason Wade. Going into the game, Maryland was ranked seventh in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 7.31 goals per game.

The Terrapins were led by Joe Cummings who had three goals while Travis Reed added two tallies for head coach Dave Cottle's team. Ryan Young had a goal and two assists for the Terps and Scott Tompkins and Warren Hansen each had a goal and an assist. Jeremy Seiverts and Jeff Reynolds added goals for Maryland. Dan Groot had two assists for the Terps while Grant Catalino and Adam Sear each had single assists.

The Tar Heels outshot the Terrapins 39-34 on the game and for the 15th time in 15 games this season the Tar Heels won the ground ball battle by a margin of 42-34. Midfielder Shane Walterhoefer led the Tar Heels with eight ground balls while goalkeeper James Petracca had six.

Each team won 14 face-offs in the game as Maryland's Brynn Holmes did a good job neutralizing Carolina's Shane Walterhoefer, the No. 2-ranked face-off man in the country. Holmes finished with 14 face-off wins in 26 tries while Walterhoefer had the same number of wins for the Tar Heels in 27 attempts.

True freshman James Petracca went the whole way in goal for the Heels as he played 60 minutes and made nine saves while allowing 10 goals. Maryland alternated two goalkeepers during the game with starter Jason Carter playing 33:25 and allowing 10 goals while making four saves. Brian Phipps started the second half for the Terrapins and made four saves and allowed six goals in 26:35.

Maryland committed 19 turnovers compared to 15 for Carolina. The Terps were successful on 10 of 14 clears while North Carolina was 15 of 18. Sophomore Ryan Flanagan was huge on the defensive end with four of UNC's eight caused turnovers. Both teams scored one extra-man goal in two

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. - Right-hander Matt Harvey allowed just one run over a career-best 8 2/3 innings to lead No. 4 North Carolina to a series-clinching 8-1 win over Boston College Saturday in the regular season finale at Shea Field. Five players posted multi-hit games as the Tar Heels (41-14, 19-10 ACC) scored in six of their nine trips to the plate.

University of North Carolina golfer Kevin O'Connell fired a even par 71 for an 11-over 224 total to tie for 19th place at the NCAA Northeast Regional. That was not good enough, however, to qualify O'Connell for a spot at the NCAA Championship.

O'Connell, a senior All-ACC performer from Cary, N.C., fired an eagle on the par-5 11th hole (his second hole). He proceeded to play the back nine (his front nine) in one-under and then played the front nine at one-over for his even par 71 score.
