The Carolina Hurricanes' season nears an end as the team has two games remaining in completing a disappointing lockout-shortened 2012-2013 campaign that held much promise early on.
The Hurricanes' recent two-game win streak shows some signs of hope for next season, but the latter half of their 48-game season was marred with injuries and inconsistent play that left this young team floundering and emotionally fragile during the months of March and April.
While the 'fastest game on ice' comes to an end in the Triangle, there is a lot of excitement in Chapel Hill, N.C. as the 'fastest game on two feet' takes center stage as the ACC Men's and Women's Lacrosse Championships begin on Thursday and run through Sunday at Fetzer Field and Kenan Stadium.
All four North Carolina Tar Heels and Duke Blue Devils lacrosse teams are currently ranked in the top 10 of each of the NIKE/Inside Lacrosse, USILA Coaches, and deBeer Lacrosse polls.
Thus, the action and intensity still remains high with sticks swinging in different directions around the Triangle, but just from one surface to the other.
