GoHeels Exclusive: Field hockey wins at home away from home, other Olympic sports notes

By Pat James, GoHeels.com

With a new on-campus stadium under construction, the North Carolina field hockey team has practiced twice a week at Duke's Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium throughout the season.

But Saturday's contest against No. 10 Boston College marked the seventh-ranked Tar Heels first "home" game at Williams Field. Still, despite the change of scenery, the result didn't vary from a majority of those at Henry Stadium, where UNC compiled a 147-26 record from 1999-2016

Ashley Hoffman's overtime goal lifted the Tar Heels to a 2-1 win over the Eagles.
