Saturday, October 1 began the start of what would be a great tournament for Carolina and the Tar Heels. The Tar Heels, many of whom playing in their first tournament, forged past NJ and West Point Gold, losing only to D.C. and tying West Point Black. Carolina conquered the tournament, going undefeated and winning Gold for the first time.
This year placing in the top four of the tournament came with a monetary prize courtesy of USA Team Handball: $100 each for third and fourth place, $300 for second place, and a whopping $500 for first place.
Coach Wade Sutton stressed that UNC went beyond expectations and hopefully learned somethings to take into the next tournament.
"[We did a] great job this weekend. I just wanted to say again how PROUD I am of both teams."
The UNC program won in total $600, Carolina with the gold and Tar Heels coming in fourth.
