CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – More than 50 UNC graduates and former Carolina field hockey players gathered in Chapel Hill over the weekend to say goodbye to one home and look forward to another. The annual Alumni Weekend served as a farewell to Francis E. Henry Stadium, which will soon be demolished and replaced with a new facility.
“It was such a special weekend,” UNC coach Karen Shelton said. “So many former players came back and it was so much fun to see everyone. It was a tremendous celebration of women's athletics at UNC, a great goodbye to our wonderful facility and a look ahead to the amazing future of our program.
