UNC Women’s Lacrosse 2025-2026
- Thread starter airball
- Start date
The current USA Magazine article on NCAA bracketology is an eye opener, specially for the #1 ranked Tar Heels. The data provided looks exclusively at the current objective RPI and SOS numerical data. UNC has the #8 RPI and its SOS is #27. As a result, the article suggests that the Heels would not be the #1 seed If the season ended today.
Of course, we’re only in the midseason, and the meat of the conference schedules has yet to be played. Currently North Carolina has only 1 win against a team with a top-20 RPI (Syracuse). Clemson’s RPI is #27 and Boston College’s is #40.
UNC games vs. Northwestern today (RPI #13) and Stanford Apr 10 (RPI #1) will have a dramatic impact if UNC wins them both. And of course, there’s the ACC tournament. Currently, the analysis has Stanford as the ACC automatic qualifier based solely on the objective numerical data.
It’s really much ado about nothing at this juncture. There’s no point is mustering righteous indignation. If UNC takes care of business, the bracketology will take care of itself. But I have to say that the article has some surprising suggestions.

This is another big one. Bring the A game ladies!Here’s the Northwestern preview of tomorrow’s game.
No. 11 Northwestern Readies for National Title Rematch at No. 1 UNC - Northwestern Athletics
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — In one of the most anticipated regular-season matchups in NCAA Division I Women's Lacrosse, No. 11 Northwestern will face No. 1 North Car...nusports.com
Here is Goheels.com’s article about tonight’s UNC vs. Northwestern women’s lacrosse:

No. 1 Women's Lacrosse Welcomes No. 11 Northwestern Wednesday - University of North Carolina Athletics
The Tar Heels will look to continue their unbeaten run when they host the Wildcats on Wednesday at 6 p.m. in Dorrance Field.
Eva Ingrilli’s return adds another scoring threat to the UNC offense. To this point in her career, she has appeared in 11 games and scored 22 goals on only 32 shots, for a remarkable shooting percentage of 68.75%. In actuality, in four of the 11 games in which she has appeared, her involvement has been minimal. In the seven games where she has had significant playing time, she has six hat tricks.
In a preseason article before her freshman season, Coach Levy identified Ingrilli as the X factor for the 2024 season — so her success is not a surprise.

We are being outdrawn 14-5. And NW is 10 for 10 on clears.
Usually, UNC coaching is able to make effective adjustments.
Madison Epke has 12 draws.
We have offset the draws somewhat with +2 GB (8-6) and TO +6 (10-4)
[As much as I hate to admit it, KAH has her team prepared]

Our defense is letting the goalies down, but the goalies aren’t exactly bailing the defense out.
Chloe didn't even get a shot the entire 3rd quarter. Awful coaching.
