UNC Men’s Lacrosse 2025-26
- Thread starter airball
- Start date
Very excited to watch this game before heading over to baseball. Go Heels!
Took way too long to initiate the offense at the end of the quarter. Typical lackadaisical Breschi-coached team.
Man...played about 5 mins of solid ball and it's all downhill from there
Good grief. This team is too talented to be getting boatraced like this.
Not much to say about that - goalie play was awful, defense was as giving up way too many dunks, and UNC couldn’t solve Marek.
Then UNC started pressing too much in Q2 and UVA buried them in transition and unsettled play.
#1 question now is Duffy’s health, but that didn’t look good to me at all. Especially with his hamstring history.

Since Breschi got that nice mid-season contract extension, we really haven't looked as good. Just sayin.
Positive- Kent Goode looked ok.
UVA goalie was ridiculous. Fun to watch if you weren’t rooting for Carolina.

Has UVa gotten some talented guys back from when we beat them in OT? That game was over as soon as they overcame the 2-0 lead we had so early.
They also handily beat a very good ND team in the semis but that was simply awful how they whipped us!

Yeahp, UVA hot. Under Lars, they’ve always been a good shooting team. We have not been a very good shooting team since well before Coach Breschi.
3 seed. Play U of Albany Saturday at noon.
Maryland- preseason #1 doesn’t make tourney
Maryland- preseason #1 doesn’t make tourney
1. UNC less athletic and/or less talented than other ACC teams, besides maybe syracuse.
2. breschi can’t coach his way out of a paper bag.
UNC does not have better talent than Duke. Duke way more athletic and equally talented
Looks like we let them in by blowing the senior night game... (and knocked out Maryland)
LOL good point,not another team with a city name!!
U Albany is 22nd in RPI. That seems high to me:
Their 5 losses:
- #5 Cornell 10-11
- #16 Penn 10-15
- #27 UMass 9-15
- #13 Georgetown 8-16
- #12 Yale 2-15
- #36 Drexel 17-9
- #40 Sienna 9-7
- #46 Vermont 12-9
- #46 Vermont 14-11
The winner gets #12 Yale vs #6 Syracuse in the Quarterfinals; this would be a home game for us. We have beaten Cuse twice 14-9 & 12-10; have not played Yale, though we did beat the other two Ivies ranked near Yale on the road.
The quarterfinals are at a neutral field and this year it would be at Hofstra.
Dave Pietramala is supposed to be a D mastermind. Something off with the scheme. And bad goalie play makes it worse.

Stat of the day:
UNC is 2-3 against the teams that are in the top 11 in the country in assists/game.
The 2 wins are Virginia (which was won by Wambach and the offense) and Jax.
UNC’s defense efficiency in those 5 games is averaging 35.28% and they avg 25.71% in the other games.
Albany is 44th in the country in assists/game.
Why did I cut it off at the top 11? Cuse is 12th and UNC won both of those games.

I think they win today.
Albany offense is one dimensional. Silas is all worldly and averaging almost 5 pts/game. Doherty (#1) is the only other player averaging more than 2 pts/game.
Albany is also -2 in the possession count on that season (UNC is +136).
Wambach winning the possession battle and the UNC defense should be enough to keep Albany’s offense in check.
You probably start Macaluso or Matan at attack and UNC can score enough to beat Albany.

FWIW,Duffy is listed as “day-to-day” going forward, so if we survive Albany we may get him back.
