North Carolina's Kristen McCann, a senior forward, has earned Atlantic Coast Conference Field Hockey Player of the Week honors for the second week of the 2000 season.

A native of Macungie, Pa., McCann scored one goal and added an assist in a 5-0 win over Iowa on Saturday, Sept. 9. She scored four goals in the Tar Heels' 6-1 win over Temple on Sunday, Sept. 10.
McCann leads North Carolina in scoring with seven goals and one assist for 15 points. She is a member of the U.S. National team and was a third-team All-America selection in 1999.
