The Duke and North Carolina women's lacrosse teams will square off for the third time this season Sunday at Koskinen Stadium in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. This time, a trip to Annapolis, Md., and a Final Four birth are on the line.

Second-ranked Duke defeated Richmond 16-4 in the first round in Durham Thursday while the Tar Heels survived a triple-overtime 7-6 scare from Penn State in College Park, Pa.

Duke has defeated North Carolina three of the past four times they've met and own an 8-7 edge in the series. The Blue Devils are also looking for their first Final Four appearance since 1999 and second overall.
