HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. It takes a while for traffic to clear out on Long Island.
Connor McCarthy was ready when it did.
The graduate transfer waited to get a clear look at the cage, then fired in the game-winner with 1:38 left in overtime to nudge top-seeded North Carolina past Rutgers 12-11 in an NCAA quarterfinal at Shuart Stadium.
Lance Tillman scored four goals after entering the game with five on the season for the Tar Heels (13-2). North Carolina will face fourth-seeded Virginia (12-4) in the semifinals next Saturday in East Hartford, Conn., the teams’ third meeting of the season.

Charlie Bertrand scored once during Virginia s 14-3 route of Georgetown.
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. Saturday’s NCAA quarterfinal made Georgetown coach Kevin Warne think he was in the middle of a movie.
And not in a good way.
Fourth-seeded Virginia’s defense dominated fifth-seeded Georgetown’s overmatched offense, and Connor Shellenberger scored six goals as the Cavaliers cruised into the semifinals with a 14-3 rout at Shuart Stadium.
“They are the longest defense we’ve played all year,” Warne marveled. “I feel like I’m in Jurassic Park with a bunch of velociraptors running around in front of the goal. They’re long, they’re athletic, they get to your hands and I thought they did a great job.”
