Carolina Hockey Aims for 12th Title | Tar Heel Basketball News

Carolina field hockey is poised for another championship run in their 53rd season, aiming to defend their 10th straight ACC title and chase their 12th national crown. With a loaded roster of 14 returnees—including six starters—and eight newcomers, the team faces the challenge of replacing 67% of last year’s scoring. Led by three-time All-American captain Charly Bruder, who’s already in the program’s top ten for career goals, and fellow captain Grace Pottebaum, they’re backed by head coach Erin Matson—already a national title winner in her second season and a scoring legend herself. Preseason favorites for 13 of the last 14 years, they open with the ACC-Big Ten Challenge against Michigan and Iowa, then tackle a grueling schedule featuring nine preseason top-20 teams—all while hosting the ACC Tournament at home in Chapel Hill.
