Tar Heels Head North To Battle Two Ranked Teams
October 11, 2019 | Field Hockey
The top-ranked North Carolina field hockey team hits the road this weekend for two games in New York, both against ranked teams.
On Saturday at 1 p.m., the Tar Heels (10-0, 3-0 ACC) take on No. 14 Syracuse (8-3, 1-1 ACC) at J.S. Coyne Stadium in an Atlantic Coast Conference matchup that will air live on ACC Network Extra.
After the game, they'll bus the 150 or so miles to Albany, where they'll face the No. 21 UAlbany Great Danes (9-3) on Sunday. Game time at Alumni Turf is 1 p.m.
The matchup with the Orange will be the Tar Heels' first game in over a week, dating back to a 2-0 win over then-No. 2 Duke on Oct. 4. The Albany game will mark the first time this season the Tar Heels will play on back-to-back days.
The last time UNC traveled north for this same swing, in 2017, they won both games but in both cases needed extra time to do so: 3-2 OT at Syracuse on Sept. 23, 2017, and 2-1 OT at Albany the next day.
After this weekend's travel, the Tar Heels make an in-state trip to play at Wake Forest on Oct. 18 then play their last four games of the regular season in Chapel Hill.
