Good Morning and Happy Monday
At 6 a.m. on Saturday morning, I arose from my slumber, turned on my computer and watched the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Some of you may have also been up at that ungodly hour as well - drinking your tea and wearing your union jacks. Others may be unsubscribing from this newsletter as we speak due to my Anglophile ways. And to those people I say...honestly, thats valid.
However, I am a woman of diverse interests, not to be deemed predictable. That evening I took part in the summer tradition of going to a Durham Bulls game. Side note: I score baseball games in a score book. If you didn't leave after my first confession, I would understand if you left now.
While I had what I considered a pretty sporty weekend, the Tar Heels beat me out with three teams having key games this weekend. Welcome to an unofficial Sports Monday.
North Carolina women's lacrosse players get energized before their quarterfinal game on May 19.
The Rundown
- Three Final Fours in four years? No big deal. Women's lacrosse is heading to Stony Brook after a 19-14 victory over Northwestern.
- Welcome to the postseason, Diamond Heels. With sophomore pitcher Gianluca Dilatri's return and the upcoming ACC tournament, the Tar Heels have had quite a week (*cough* ACC Coastal/Regular Season Champions *cough*)
- In an unusual turn of events, UNC lost. Men's tennis dropped in the third round of the NCAA tournament to No. 10 Southern California. The *other* USC.
