Women’s lacrosse has been one of the best athletic programs at UNC in recent years, with the Tar Heels capturing NCAA Championships in 2013, 2016 and 2022.
The Tar Heels have also been a model of consistency, making every NCAA Tournament since 2005. They’ve produced career record-holders in the past five seasons, including Jamie Ortega (goals, points), Katie Hoeg (assists), Taylor Moreno (saves) and Ally Mastroianni (draw controls).
All of the above stars have since graduated, but the latter two are still continuing to capture headlines in the lacrosse world.
On Friday, Sept. 29, Moreno and Mastroianni were named to the USA Lacrosse roster for the World Lacrosse Super Sixes event.

The Super Sixes will take place from Friday, Oct. 6-Sunday, Oct. 8 in Oshawa, Canada. USA will compete against the likes of Canada, India, Haiti, Kenya and Haudenosaunee, a Native American tribe located predominantly in Upstate New York.
Mastroianni and Ortega both played at Carolina from 2018-2022. Mastroianni holds the school record with 360 draw controls, while Ortega, arguably the greatest offensive player to come through Chapel Hill, holds school records with 334 goals and 466 points.
