CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Syracuse Volleyball weren’t expecting a block party waiting for them Friday night in North Carolina. The No. 22 UNC unblocked the Orange 11-4 in its sweep of Syracuse, the Orange’s largest block deficit since its loss to SMU nearly a month ago. The Tar Heels’ block was led by middle blocker Jackie Taylor, a leader on the UNC team this season. She contributed to eight of the Tar Heels’ blocks on the evening, all while only playing in the first two sets.
