GREENSBORO, N.C. – Erin Matson, a sophomore forward for the UNC field hockey team, has been selected as the recipient of the 2019-20 Mary Garber Award as the Atlantic Coast Conference Female Athlete of the Year. She's the youngest player ever to win the honor – all of the winners up to now had been juniors or seniors – and gives the Carolina field hockey program back-to-back winners, as Ashley Hoffman was the recipient for 2018-19.

Matson, the 2019 National Player of the Year and Honda Sport Award winner, is the ninth Tar Heel to win the honor on the 10th occasion.
