The North Carolina Tar Heels field hockey team starts their season tonight in a rematch of the 2020 NCAA Championship game versus Michigan. As the season gets underway, this week in a vote of the ACC head coaches, UNC was voted the overwhelming favorite to win the conference once again.
The back-to-back-to-back-to-back ACC champions received all but one first place vote, and finished 18 voting points ahead of Boston College in the preseason rankings. In addition to the team’s preseason recognition, two Tar Heels were named to the Preseason All-ACC team.
Forwards Erin Matson and Meredith Sholder were selected as Preseason All-ACC team members.
