PROVIDENCE, R.I. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team fell to North Carolina, 11-7, in non-conference action at the Friar Lacrosse Complex on Sunday, April 23 in Providence, R.I.

Senior Michael Farley (Westfield, N.J.) led the Friar offense with a single-game career-high of five goals.
The Friars jumped out to an early, 1-0, lead just 1:35 into the game with a goal from Farley. Farley's first tally of the day was assisted by senior Tom Kelly (Henniker, N.H.). UNC answered with two-straight goals at the 11:27 and 7:12 marks of the first quarter to take a 2-1 lead. McElduff struck first, unassisted. Sean Link scored the Tar Heel's second goal off a feed from Wagner.
Farley tied the game, 2-2, with 11:11 on the clock in the second quarter. North Carolina then rattled off three-unanswered goals to end the half.
