For the 10th time in program history and the fourth time in the last five years, North Carolina Tar Heels field hockey are national champions!
UNC emerged victorious with a 2-1 win after a battle against Northwestern that quite literally went down to the final minute. With just more than a minute left in the game, Erin Matson added another feat to her already incredible career and slotted home a go-ahead goal. The Tar Heels managed to hold out from there and sealed the title.
Carolina has been a fairly high-scoring team this year, coming in averaging over four goals per game, but the Wildcats managed to keep them in check for most of the game.
