CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The University of North Carolina is naming its new field hockey stadium for Karen Shelton, the legendary Tar Heel coach now in her 38th season with the program. Ken and Cheryl Williams, longtime supporters of Carolina Athletics, wanted to recognize the accomplished coach and committed the lead gift to make Karen Shelton Stadium possible.
"I could not feel more honored and humbled by this gift," Shelton said. "Ken and Cheryl have been good friends and supporters of our program for a long time. When they told me about their donation and that they wanted to name the stadium for me, I was so surprised and overcome with emotion.
