CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Senior Ashley Hoffman's walk-off penalty stroke gave the UNC field hockey team a 2-1 overtime win Sunday afternoon against No. 20 Iowa, narrowly avoiding yet another first on a weekend full of them at brand new Carolina Field Hockey Stadium. After sidestepping the season's – and facility's – first loss, second-ranked Carolina is 2-0 at home following two ACC-Big Ten Challenge matchups and now hits the road for four games before playing at home again on Sept. 11.
"Congratulations to Iowa," UNC coach Karen Shelton said at the end of her team's first weekend in its new home.
