TOURNAMENT HISTORY
Michigan State is making its first appearance at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate. This is the seventh time UNC is hosting the Tar Heel Intercollegiate. The event was first played in the 2012-13 season and played annually since, except when it was rained out in 2015-16 and canceled due to COVID-19 a year ago.
North Carolina won the team title at the most recent Tar Heel Intercollegiate, March 23-24, 2018, with a 1-under 863.
LUBAHN'S THOUGHTS
"After a couple great weeks at home, we are very excited to get started on our sprint to the finish. We shot some great scores here at home in beautiful conditions and I believe we are ready to go across the lineup. UNC's event is an opportunity to keep knocking on the door and perform more consistently, which is our goal the last five weeks of the regular season."
