The North Carolina Tar Heels field hockey team wasn’t content simply making it to their eighth consecutive Final Four.
They have their sights set much higher than that.
It took all of regulation and an overtime period, but UNC beat Connecticut 2-1 on Friday afternoon to advance to their second consecutive national championship game. A national runner-up last season, the Tar Heels are looking to take better advantage of this year’s trip to the NCAA title game.
A go-ahead goal from star forward Lauren Moyer ended the game in the 81st minute, sending the Tar Heels to the tournament’s final round to play Delaware on Sunday afternoon.
