CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The North Carolina field hockey team gave Tar Heel fans plenty of opportunities to celebrate in Sunday's home opener, beating Miami 7-2 on a sunny afternoon at Karen Shelton Stadium. Eight different players had at least one goal or assist in the win, which boosted sixth-ranked UNC to 4-3 on the season.
Next up for the Tar Heels is the Atlantic Coast Conference opener, on Friday at home against No. 3 Boston College. That's the second in a three-game homestand after the Tar Heels opened the fall with six games away from home.
