In NCAA title run, 'culture of belief' kept UNC field hockey's perfect season alive
Posted Nov 25, 2019
Earlier this season, the North Carolina field hockey team looked beatable. But it wasn't – all because of the “culture of belief” that head coach Karen Shelton has instilled in her program. It's a culture that led to a second straight perfect season for the Tar Heels, culminating in a 6-1 victory over Princeton in Sunday's national championship game.
