Katie Hoeg, one of the most decorated players in UNC women's lacrosse program history, has been awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship. She will utilize the $10,000 as she begins graduate studies at UNC's Adams School of Dentistry this fall.
"I am extremely grateful to continue pursuing my dreams as a Tar Heel," Hoeg said. "My student-athlete experience at UNC was second to none. I am honored to be given the opportunity to further represent this amazing university as I transition to dental school."
Hoeg, from Mattituck, N.Y., graduated in May after majoring in biology and minoring in chemistry and English.
