Six North Carolina Tar Heels have been named to the 2016 All-Atlantic Coast Conference women’s lacrosse teams, the league announced Wednesday.
Of the six Carolina players honored, which was the most among any ACC school, four were named to the first-team – also more than any other school.
Every level of the Tar Heel squad was represented on the first team with two attackers, senior Sammy Jo Tracy and junior Molly Hendrick, sophomore midfielder Marie McCool and senior defender Mallory Frysinger.
Senior attacker Aly Messinger and junior goalie Caylee Waters were named second-team All-Conference.
UNC, ranked third nationally, went undefeated in conference play and will enter the ACC Tournament this weekend in Blacksburg, Virginia as the number one seed. The Tar Heels will face the No. 8 seed Virginia Tech at noon on Thursday in what is essentially a home game for the Hokies.
This is the second consecutive year UNC has won the ACC regular season title.
