UNC Women’s Lacrosse 2025-2026
- Thread starter airball
- Start date
Unlikely. I can’t recall seeing a postgame statement from her following a regular season away game. But I would love for someone to prove me wrong.
Prior to today’s game, Virginia’s worst losses were by 8 goals to Maryland and Stanford.

Huh, usually that’s a nice field, well groomed. Was the grass just not green or was it muddy or something tough to play on?The only thing worse than UVA's play today was their field.
Early in the recruiting cycle for that class some thought Buffardi was the best player in the class. She's quite good.A 2026 UNC signee is USA Lacrosse’s highlighted high school player of the week.
NORTHEAST
Sophia Buffardi, Sayville (N.Y.)
On a chilly afternoon in Sayville, Sophia Buffardi had ice water in her veins in a battle of New York State championship contenders Saturday afternoon.
The North Carolina-bound senior already had a pair of assists before netting the behind-the-back winner with 45 seconds left to lift Sayville (N.Y.), arguably the favorite in Class C this year, to a 6-5 victory over four-time defending Class B champion Victor (N.Y.).
“Sophia has put so much time into mastering her skills as a player and a teammate,” Sayville head coach Gary Jensen said. “Because of this dedication, she not only has total confidence in what she knows she can deliver on the field, but her team does as well. She has made a habit of delivering under pressure. This was not the first time she has done this, and it surely won’t be her last.”
FWIW, IL rates Sophia as the #4 player in the 2026 class. (We are used to UNC having strong recruiting classes, but I think the 10-player 2026 class has a strong chance to be special.)
FWIW, here is the entire USA Lacrosse Magazine article:
BTB GWG: Buffardi Headlines USA Lacrosse High School Girls' Players of the Week
Sophia Buffardi, Kelsey Young, Maison Van den Bossche, Charlotte Cook and Sadie Ghali have earned USA Lacrosse High School Girls' Player of the Week honors.www.usalacrosse.com
FYI, Sayville is Class C, while Victor is the 4-time Class B Champion. Class B is a higher classification (larger school). IIRC, Sayville was the Class C champion two seasons ago
I like Charlotte North as a commentator. IMO she does a good job and she calls it likes she sees it.
