Twenty-five seconds.
That is how long it took for the North Carolina women’s lacrosse team to find the net against Canisius on Wednesday. And more than a minute later, the team zoomed down the field to score its second goal.
The rout was on, and the Golden Griffins did little to stop the bleeding in North Carolina’s convincing 24-6 victory.
Through the first three games of the season, UNC has proven to be an offensive powerhouse.
The Tar Heels have averaged 20.6 goals per game and their latest total, 24, tied the school record.
Nine of those goals were scored in the first 10 minutes.
Going into the game, freshman Carly Reed had two goals on the season. Against Canisius, the freshman led the team with five goals — four of which came in the first half.
Reed said that she enjoys playing on a team with reliable offensive players.
And despite her strong performance, she knows her primary role on the team — as a distributor.
