As we prepare to move into August, and a new academic and athletic season, we need to stop and look back at the past 12 months and all the great things that have happened in North Carolina Tar Heels’ athletics. It’s impossible to narrow it all down, but host Isaac Schade gives you his top three moments plus several honorable mentions.

Number three on the list is the UNC baseball team’s season turnaround, culminating in a conference tournament championship and a regional championship before falling to Arkansas in the Super Regional. Super freshman Vance Honeycutt and friends took us all on an amazing ride. Number two is the women’s lacrosse national championship, spearheaded by superstar Jamie Ortega. The ladies overcame losing in the Final Four in each of the previous three tournaments, including a phenomenal comeback over Northwestern in the semifinal. Number one (and perhaps the biggest no-brainer ever) is the victory over Duke in the Final Four, ending Coach K’s career. The performance from Carolina’s Iron Five of RJ Davis, Caleb Love, Leaky Black, Brady Manek, and Armando Bacot, which propelled first-year head coach Hubert Davis to the national championship in his inaugural season was something no one will ever forget.

The honorable mention moments include Austin Greaser making the Masters, Kizhan Clarke’s national runner-up finish in wrestling, the women’s tennis team’s three-peat in the ITA indoor national championships, women’s basketball’s NCAA Tournament victory over Arizona AT Arizona, the victory over Duke on Senior night, and the women’s lacrosse comeback against Northwestern in the semifinals.
