Erin Matson’s journey as UNC’s 23-year-old field hockey coach reaches brink of another NCAA title

Posted Nov 16, 2023
Erin Matson crouched near midfield, intently watching UNC’s field hockey players run drills. A year ago at this time, Matson was among those players. Now she’s a first-time head coach, a 23-year-old taking over for the winningest coach in the sport’s history, and leading players who were previously teammates. Pressure? Yep. And she’s good with all of it. (Associated Press)
