The U.S. National Women's Field Hockey Team fell 1-0 to host Argentina Saturday in the championship match at the Pan American Cup, played in Mendoza, Argentina. Five former Tar Heels played for the team, and UNC assistant coach Guy Cathro was a member of the coaching staff.
Playing in front of an enthusiastic home crowd, Argentina's Delfina Merino scored the gamewinner in the 55th minute on a shot from the top of the circle.

After a short time off from training, the squad will continue its full-time program at the new Spooky Nook Sports facility in Lancaster, Pa.
Cathro will rejoin the UNC team this week. After missing games against Virginia, VCU and Duke, he will be back on the sidelines this weekend as the Tar Heels host Maryland on Saturday and California on Sunday. Both games are at 1 p.m. at Francis E. Henry Stadium. There is no charge for admission.
