Preview: UNC field hockey roster features 10 accomplished newcomers

Posted Aug 8, 2026
This season marks a new era for UNC field hockey coach Erin Matson. For the first time, the star player-turned-coach will lead a roster that does not feature any of her former teammates. But Matson has assembled an incoming class of field-ready recruits as well as a group of returners looking to redeem last season's Final Four loss with a national title. (Daily Tar Heel)
