CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The University of North Carolina women’s lacrosse program has earned the No. 1 overall seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament, the organization announced on Sunday night. The Tar Heels enter the tournament 18-0, having won both the ACC Regular Season and Tournament Championships. This is the 20th straight season and the 26th time in the program’s 30-year history that UNC has heard its name called on selection Sunday.
 
Carolina will host the first and second rounds at Dorrance Field this weekend. The first-round game between Clemson and Navy will be played on Friday, May 9 at 5 p.m. The winner of that game will face the Tar Heels on Sunday at noon in a second-round match-up. Both games will air on ESPN+.

If the Tar Heels were to advance, they would host the quarterfinal round at Dorrance Field on Thursday, May 15 on ESPNU.

 

Overall, the Tar Heels are 42-22 in NCAA Tournament games. Head coach Jenny Levy‘s 42 NCAA wins are tied for the second-most in women’s lacrosse history. 

Carolina has made 13 trips to the semifinals – including 10 in the last 15 tournaments – which ranks third all-time. The program has appeared in five NCAA title games and won three times, most recently in 2022 during its undefeated season.
