Erin Matson Reflects on Post-College Goals, Karen Shelton’s Retirement
Posted Jan 9, 2023
After an unprecedented five-year run of dominance, UNC field hockey will look very different next season. Not only will star Erin Matson no longer be suiting up, but for the first time in the team’s history, Karen Shelton will no longer be head coach. Shelton coached 42 years with the Tar Heels, the last five saw her dominant collaboration with Matson.
