For the second year in a row, the North Carolina field hockey coaching staff has been honored as the nation's top Division I staff. And with good reason: it's also the second year in a row the Tar Heel coaches have guided the team to NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference championships and an undefeated season.
"Speaking on behalf of the whole staff, we're so honored by this," UNC head coach Karen Shelton said. "It's a reflection of how hard the team worked this season, and how well we all worked together. We've got an outstanding staff together right now – we all complement each other and focus on different aspects to be sure we're doing everything we can to help the team succeed.
