UNC men’s lacrosse goalie Brian Balkam has been named Co-ACC Defender of the Week after his role in the Tar Heels’ 16-8 victory over Virginia.
Balkam made a career-high 14 saves and allowed just two goals in the first half as UNC jumped out to a 10-2 lead.
He shares the award with Notre Dame defensive midfielder John Sexton.
The Tar Heels are now 7-4 overall and 2-0 in the ACC.
They return to action Saturday when they take on Syracuse in New York.
