WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – The UNC field hockey team is perfect again.
The top-ranked Tar Heels beat No. 9 Princeton Sunday at Wake Forest's Kentner Stadium to win the program's eighth national championship and complete a second-consecutive undefeated season. This year's team finished the year 23-0, and Carolina has now won 46 games in a row.
Sophomore Erin Matson was named the Most Outstanding Player, and she was joined on the All-NCAA Tournament by senior Yentl Leemans and juniors Amanda Hendry and Eva Smolenaars.
UNC fell behind early, as Princeton scored just 2:13 into the game.
