The University of North Carolina (UNC) and Northwestern University field hockey teams played a scoreless first quarter in Chapel Hill. The halftime score remained 0-0. The game went into double overtime, and UNC eventually won, securing their 50th NCAA championship across all sports. Erin Matson, former player and now head coach of UNC, led the team to victory, marking her 5th championship win. UNC's field hockey team has now won the national championship for the second consecutive year, making it their sixth title in the last six seasons. Matson's influence and leadership have been pivotal in the team's success.

North Carolina wins its 50th NCAA championship across all sports, 17 more than any other ACC school. Erin Matson wins her 5th (4 as a player, 1 as a coach). A legend in every sense of the word.

What a game right now on @espnu. @UNCFieldHockey vs @NUFHCats in the NCAA Championship. Headed to double OT.
Halftime here in Chapel Hill: UNC 0, Northwestern 0. A year ago, Erin Matson scored the national championship-winning goal, also against Northwestern. Now she heads to the locker room as UNC's head coach, trying to lead the Tar Heels to the storybook finish in her first season.
End of the first quarter in Chapel Hill. UNC and Northwestern scoreless. One thing I've come to appreciate about field hockey: no TV timeouts interrupting the flow. No ads plastering the field or stadium, either. Packed, standing-room only crowd here. An impressive sight.
