UNC Field Hockey Falls, 3-2, To No. 11 Iowa To Conclude ACC/Big Ten Challenge


An improved offensive attack was not enough to see No. 2 UNC Field Hockey to victory Sunday against No. 11 Iowa, falling 3-2. The Tar Heels (0-2) leave their opening weekend of the season without a win for the first time since 2021. They took the lead twice in the first half, but two third-quarter goals for the Hawkeyes put them ahead for good. (GoHeels.com)
