No. 1 UNC Field Hockey Falls in Opener to No. 2 Michigan

Posted Aug 27, 2021
The No. 1 North Carolina field hockey team’s third title defense in a row will have to start with a setback. The No. 2 Michigan Wolverines avenged last season's championship loss to the Tar Heels in May with a 3-2 win in Iowa City on Friday (Highlights). A 2-0 halftime lead for Michigan proved too much to overcome for head coach Karen Shelton’s team. (Chapelboro.com)
