Carolina fans are used to both the best coaches and best players in the sport practicing their craft while in Chapel Hill, and the Field Hockey team is no different. Coach Karen Shelton and junior Erin Matson have formed a powerful pair during Matson’s three years on campus, and it came through again on Sunday as the Tar Heels took down the national title. The win was the Tar Heels’ ninth overall, and third in a row. One for each year Matson has been on the field.
This time, the Tar Heels took down a difficult opponent in the Michigan Wolverines, the overall two seed.
