NEWTON, Mass. – For the second year in a row, the North Carolina field hockey team heads into the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament as the top seed and without a loss. But this year is different from the last in several ways.
When the Tar Heels opened play in the 2018 semifinals, it was on their home turf. This year they're far from home, in sunny but chilly Newton, Mass. Boston College is hosting the tournament at Newton Field Hockey Complex. They'll take on No. 6 Louisville on Friday at 1 p.m.
UNC (17-0) is also coming off a three-game stretch without one of their teammates, who also happens to be the nation's top scorer.
