USA field hockey denies Erin Matson opportunity to play in 2024 Olympics

Posted Apr 11, 2024
With the 2024 Paris Olympics around the corner, it would seem like Erin Matson would be preparing for the games with the rest of Team USA — a team she has been part of since the age of 17. However, Matson said that she was denied the opportunity to even tryout for the team, despite meeting all eligibility criteria outlined by USA Field Hockey bylaws. (Daily Tar Heel)
